Of the intelligence community because it does put him in a very, very uncomfortable position. i have to say to max maybe the piece had you today was perhaps the first article and commentary in 35 years that i agreed with. because what were dealing with now is no longer anything ideological. this is not left, this is not right, this is not liberal, this is not conservative. this is about the honesty and integrity of the electoral system and whether we have a person in charge of the national secur...

What really gets the coverage. and certain things that someof e news. other things that obviously are news worthy get covered. but, again, how is this the president -- i was the campaign manager until the end. and i was talking to people in mccomb county, michigan, not moscow. people arent pointing to things that arent there. have you these attenuated connections and circumstances. and there is just nothing the democrats every single day you see these kyrons on the lower third on other networks ...

With the timing, the day after his amazing joint sessions which everybody is polling most honest and analysts said was a complete home run for him, that the "new york times" had a report that clearly showed that there was a rush to preserve and sprinkle intelligence information around the obama administration toward the end of it. now, we should ask why that is. and i would also say, you know, i certainly hope people out there are getting $50 every time they screen the word russia. but imagine i...

United states. he has information and intelligence that the rest of us do not. thats the way it should be for presidents. i would note that curiously with the timing, the day after his amazing joint sessions which everybody is polling most honest and analysts said was a complete home run for him, that the "new york times" had a report that clearly showed that there was a rush to preserve and sprinkle intelligence information around the obama administration toward the end of it. now, we should as...

Its come to a full stop one month in. what i think is more worrying is what comes next. on the republican side, the entire republican security community has been disorganized and fractured going back even before obama was elected. most of those people were never trumpers. you dont see people lining up to save the day. its just contributes right now. we have the names who can fill that gap, guys like admiral harward but beyond that theres so much more happening. >> thats a good segue about potent...

Crime of violence, was a very long sentence. on the other side, i dont have to tell you, steve, this will be viewed as very controversial, particularly among conservatives and other folks in the national security community who feel that leaks, something thats been back in the news recently, national security leaks against the state must be punished. so its a big, probably the biggest commutation or pardon action weve seen from president obama. >> this is always the drama at the end of the a pres...

Making the assessment. trump tweeted this weekend after the assessment was tweeted to him. he said its a good thing to have a good relationship with russia and only, quote, stupid people would think that that would be bad. is there a concern at all in the security community that youve been speaking with people saying that a good and stupid attitude towards their relationship with russia, is there a concern with that. >> the concern is that this is one of the biggest -- russians werent involved i...

Thore tar yn you have confusion within the intelligence, military and security community within turkey itself due to so many people being rolled up during the koup attempt. you will see turkey continue to sustain these kinds of attacks from isis fighters. >> you anticipate more of these kind of so-called lone wolf attacks? >> i dont know that this is lone wolf. turkey has got one of the largest networks of isis operatives scattered. they have sustained the most number of terror attacks of any eu...
