Wow, he was a private citizen and he gave something to a reporter. he was not an fbi director at the time. he was not in government at the time. is that leaking? >> so a leak is an unauthorized disclosure of classified information. my view of these things is that they contain nothing which is classified that would rise to it level of a prosecutable leak. >> so it's false for him to say that he leaked classified information? >> if you use the word "leak" in its legal term it is false to use that term. he disclosed information, but whistle blowers disclose information and they're not leakers, th...

It level hurts the people who are making cuts. >> the talking points. i guess the line today, this is becoming a two-man race on the republican side. you got ted cruz moving up the ranks here donald trump, ted cruz, 24%. marco rubio ben carson in double digits. is this a two-man race now do you think or could that debate shake it up again? >> we are entering the winnowing process, that debate will be a part of it. the new hampshire primary is the biggest part of it. at some point we will see those establishment candidates polling in the high single digits. we will see a few leave the race. the...

>> well i don't think anyone would consciously do that. and that's part of the questions they're going to have to answer. the airplane reached its cruising altitude. it did not stay there very long. it started the descent. that's one question. why did they need to come down? but once they started that descent, why didn't it level off at a 10,000 foot or some altitude there that formnormally you would preset the autopilot to level off. why did it not do that? that's a second set of questions. and thirdly, once the airplane gets close to the ground about one minute you get a caution alert that s...
