If for no other reason than trump has cycled three more senior aides and advisers and at an unprecedented pace than any of his predecessors. theres an enormous number of sources who are available for a journalist of bobs integrity and caliber. so i imagine trump will really freak out, you know. look at how he is reacting to the unproven allegations in the omarosa book. >> thank you, susan, thank you, john. i appreciate your time. when we come back, president trump tonight trying to justify his r...

Frenetic action and tweeting is because he feels a sense of increasing besiegement or whatever. that bob woodward book is coming out, i believe on september 11th, so just in a few weeks time. and remember his very, very strong response to the allegations contained in the michael wolff book "fire and fury" at the beginning of this year. michael wolff is nothing like the journalist that bob woodward is. knowing bob well, i for one suspect that there will be a lot of original reporting and eyebrow-...

>> absolutely. for example, three weeks ago when this first came up, remember that the speaker of the house, paul ryan, basically told reporters who asked him, is the white house really going to withdraw security clearances from these former officials? and paul ryan basically laughed it off and said no, i just think the president is trolling us. and he and so many other people have gotten used to treating this as sort of an empty spectacle that has no real meaning, right? that its just sort of t...

Have gotten used to treating this as sort of an empty spectacle that has no real meaning, right that its sort of the public theatrics of donald trump, dont pay attention to that, pay attention to some elusive substance thats happening. what i find striking, right, is that paul ryan was wrong. and trump has gone ahead and turned this from a carnival and just a spectacle or reality show or whatever analogy you want to pick for it and hes actually taken an action in the real world that none of his ...

Vowing to fight any attempt by robert mueller to subpoena president trump all the way to the supreme court. trumps attorney saying, even if we responded in ten days to a subpoena, it would have to be decided by district court judge, you could appeal it in circuit court and then argue it before the supreme court if it ever got there. congressman, i appreciate your time. so giuliani says hes been negotiating in good faith on this interview. whether its giuliani or his predecessors, this discussion...

Provinces which were taxed every time they passed through a harbor or city gate. many senators raked in fortunes by controlling the terrorists and that gave them their competitor bitch. afia here were discovered injustice and above all corruption in the practice of living customs duties and rents and saw that landlords in particular were making huge profits. because it often wouldnt. nero reigned in the ambitions of many senators eyeing minister ariel portfolios like his predecessors he filled t...

John brennan did not break any of them. the ability for former officials to maintain their clearances is not a gift to the former officials paid it so that their successors can call on their predecessors to get guidance and support. >> harris: cant they be reinstated at a high level? >> sean: not all. >> marie: i dont know if there is a way to overrule the president. the point is that it is not a gift to these former officials. i will also say that the idea that because former officials are spea...

Power. he ignored all the channels, the agencies like cia and director of national intelligence that confer these security clearances, in this case the cia because brennan was a former cia director, they are the agenciy that should be reviewing and revoking if theres an issue. but theres no issue here. he said on my program and elsewhere he has never gone back and asked for a briefing or had a briefing from this administration. he has only gone back to review his own files in preparation for tes...

Repu repercussions. one of those is possible futures security clearances. that was enough to put him on the list. it is really remarkable and unprecedented and the irony here sadly is that the whole reason that mike hayden helped establish the president, the former cia director would keep their clearances, is to help new administrations to be able quickly talk to their predecessors and find out if something is unusual or if you know alarming or something in pakistan or saudi arabia. thats the wh...

The whole reason mike hayden, the former cia director, the sole reason hes another person on this list, life-long republican, i believe, the reason for this in the first place is so that people like mike hayden could go to their predecessors and say, you know this person we picked up in yemen or afghanistan. what do you recall about this case? how should we proceed? what about is happening in pakistan? its to create a council of advisors, former cia directors that dont need to go through clearan...
