Investigation to unmask this author. but we are learning that at least aides close to the president believe they are narrowing down the possibilities. wolf, it is just possibilities. we may never know exactly who wrote that. so it is an open question if aides to the president are trying to appease him by saying, we may know who it is or if they have a lead on this. but certainly the president has been stewing about this all day long and talked to reporters about it on air force one and now flying back to washington here and he'll be here in a few hours or so. certainly watching all of the news...

A pr exercise by the president of the united states who deoesnt seem to understand how the first ament works although he exercises his on on a fairly regular basis in a way that's destructive. so the idea he would have someone investigated is intolerable in a democratic society. i would like the know the identity of the person. i would prefer they actually identify himself or herself and come out publicly and resign in that way, but that's not the same as saying that person should be investigated by the attorney general of the ice. >> top officials in the trump administration they were the aut...
