Counter intelligence investigation. its classified. if they had been speaking about it, they would have been committing a crime. now, its perfectly appropriate to criticize the fbi for going public with their evidence against mrs. clinton under circumstances where they didnt charge her, you are not supposed to speak if you dont charge. that has goin nothing to do wher they are allowed to talk about a counter intelligence investigation. what people need to look here at is they didnt have a crimin...

Another parallel piece of this has been possible investigation into possible obstruction of the investigation and the way the president and his supporters have routinely been threatening the independent of the special counsel. you mentioned the "new york times." i agree with charlie. it does not say there is a mole inside the trump campaign. nevertheless rudy giuliani and the president seized on this to create another what looks to be a pretext for trying to shut down the investigation. we have ...

Ground? >> well, look, i think this is historic event. but, the thing is, brian, it really just represents reality. if you want to have peace, have you got to build it on the foundation of truth. jerusalem is, in fact, the indivisible capital of the jewish people. its been that for thousands of years. its the capital of the modern state of israel as well. so, i think there is always pretext people can use in the middle east to try to create different types of uprisings. im not sure thats going t...
