Security advisor on any number, as weve been talking about, north korea, iran, venezuela, afghanistan. what my colleague and i were told by two people familiar with the -- how this all went down, is that, you know, president trump believed that bolton specifically was trying to expose divisions within his administration on these afghanistan peace talks and basically derail what some in the administration felt was something close to some sort of an agreement or at least a framework for an agreeme...

Donald trump perhaps did not know that john bolton was a cheerleader of the iraq war, a war that president trump himself belatedly condemned. didnt know he scuttled the clinton administrations opening with north korea, didnt know he singled out a country in our own western hemisphere cuba accused it of acquiring and disseminating weapons drux. any number of clues this relationship would not have worked out. the big surprise it took over a wheer-ye year for it to devol what we saw on twitter. >> ...

Of a tape. there is a taping system in the white house that private dinners are being recorded? that is what were meant to believe? what kind of sitting president does put out a threat of this gravity and seriousness to a man with legitimate detractors on both sides of the aisles but a respected man known for his bipartisanship, known for being a straight shooter and pursuing independent investigations. this is going to cause tremendous uproar within the enforcement community, just that this is ...

The american people think they voted for and what they thought they were getting. theyre not getting what they voted for. its up to those guys to make it happen. >> how about the people in the white house who had no idea that president trump was going to do this, how about the people in the white house who are on his communications team or vice president pence who hes contradicted in the last 24 hours now, kind of made up on twitter. what did they do? >> i would be floating résumes at this poin...

We have more on the breaking news. president trump threatening james comey on twitter this morning and it comes just a day after the president unleashed a stinging and personal rebuke of now former fbi director james comey while also denying any collusion with russia during the campaign. take a look. >> look, hes a showboat, hes a grandstander. the fbi has been in turmoil. you know that, i know that. everybody knows that. you take a look at the fbi a year ago, it was in virtual turmoil. less tha...

Some pretty effective piling, clinically speaking, i dont mean that pejoratively, hes actually been quite effective in getting his point across. and the good thing about it that i like about twitter is that its completely transparent, it is instant, and you dont have a middleman to mince words and reframe or repackage, for better or worse. so i really dont know why, in this kind of grand introduction of what schumer is going to be like as a minority leader, he spends all his time chastising the ...

Rest of the time it is so boring. >> then i was reminded yesterday that that is not exactly what he said. and i had to go back and look. he was taking issue with the timing. in that it shouldnt be the first priority. >> you dont know, you dont know. but he didnt directly address the timing and the wording of it. he said lets get to tax reform, health care, more important things to do, basically is what he is saying. >> but once again, guess how he pushed republicans on this? twitter. it seemed t...

Propaganda. i think its important for the president to be challenged. do i trust every member of the media to ask objective questions? no, not at all, but hopefully there are still people out there who are educated and curious and who have the publics interest at heart, and they will challenge the president-elect. >> she looked at me lovingly when she said that, so i hope im in the second category. but i will say this, there are some questions to be asked. you are talking to your followers, so m...

Get you elected, your presidency will not succeed. we will hold your feet to the fire every time you abandon your pledge, and work instead as an ally of the hard right these issues are too important for mere words. our challenge is to entrenched for mere tweeting. making america great again requires more than 140 characters per issue. with all due respect, america cannot afford a twitter presidency. many americans are afraid, mr. president-elect, that instead of rolling up your sleeves and forgi...

Whether at social media, facebook, in lieu of some of the daily press briefings. but, i dont know that there is any concern that we are not hearing from the president-elect enough. >> im not at all mad about this delay, unprecedented delay, of hearing from president trump in a press conference format, because really thats just a lot of pageantry to me and i can do without that. im not impressed by that. hes got a direct connect to the american people, you are exactly right. so since hes already ...
