reported president trump has frequently asked aides about withdrawing from nato. yesterday, the bill s sponsor, congressman jimmie panetta, had this to say. what we have to realize is nato is not just a transactional relationship. our sole focus can t just be on who pays what and who gets what. being a member of nato is not like being a member of a country club. michael steele, the republicans who i don t get it, in terms of this clear message to the president, at this point, hopefully he will at least step back a little bit and stop talking this way about alliances that we need. there s been some scuttlebutt in some of the circles around the president around what he said. there s been an effort to dial it down if not walk it back completely. yesterday s vote was a reproach
where do you think we are going forward with rosenstein leaving? by the way, or member of a scuttlebutt about the president not firing him? it looks like he s just leaving. because it s been a couple years. he said that was a total commitment. pete: absolutely. this looks like a new attorney general should have the ability to have a team around him that reflects the priorities and the approach that they attorney general s going to take. barr is very well-respected, i think he will be confirmed. he has taken a measured approach on mueller. all of this about protecting mueller is a bunch of nonsense. how many times do people have does it give them a chance to give him a chance to finish the investigation, before someone believes them? harris: it s a chance to say we don t know what mueller has. and that it s almost over.

back to the campaign, and flynn was the opening act for the rallies and led the lock her up chant. what is the scuttlebutt about why flynn is not getting the cohen treatment from trump? cohen was a participant in business dealings with trump and the relationship with general flynn was quite different. he came along when trump was emerging as a potential candidate and was part of what had been a very small foreign policy team in the trump campaign world and he showed some loyalty to the president throughout the process. the vulnerabilities with flynn go with his own business work with countries like turkey, which he had not fully disclosed, and his contacts with russian figures including the
