Advantageous is that use of sourcing okay, but when it s politically damaging, it s not okay. he came out and briefed people on what he knew at the time and said he was literally going to give further briefs and would have further updates. that s a big difference than reporting and making a serious allegation. in fact, he was doing quite the opposite. he was vindicating the president and saying there is something you need to know about the substance of the allegations that are being made against you. while that may or may not be the case. reporter: he did not vindicate it. wouldn t it have been just as important for the president to learn? sure. then maybe he would have and you wouldn t have any concern with that, would you? reporter: my question is to you. margret? reporter: you said again vindicated. the president said he felt somewhat vindicated. did he feel that having chairman nunes come down here help his own credible? i think it s reassuring to know that what he di ....
Margret? sean, president talked about the need for this health care plan to pass. you talked about the importance of tax reform and the rest. at what point do you think that this agenda could be in peril as you look at the vote? you are also going to have to fight to get any of this through the senate. at what point will the vote count? it just seems to be such a center piece for the rest of the president s agenda. given that it s still not there is no certainly in terms of passage, how concerned are you that thursday could impaeri the president s agenda? i think we continued on the path to get the votes. we have to get to the senate next. i think members understand that this is something that has been at the heart of what republicans have campaigned on. i feel very good headed into this. the president continues to talk ....
Agree or don t agree with the president in terms of his legislative agenda, at least give them high marks whether or not they subscribe to his agenda for keeping his word and his promises. that s one of the things he s made very clear this morning. we pledged to the american people at the congressional level, at the senate level, at the presidential level, to go do something. and this bill, while they got everything they wanted does exactly what they said. it s repealing it and replacing with all of the principles that we discussed. lot of these cases back to 2010. margret. let s get through the vote. one of the things that we made clear this morning was that he was going to make sure the people who did support this, he would be out there supporting them and so i m not gonna focus on the negative as much as the positive today. he made it clear to members that for those of you ho go out there and keep your word and support it, we re going to make sure we remember those who stood by us a ....
Gave to their voters. margret? okay. that s okay. i have got another one. so my other one that i m going to go back is on the last restriction by the u.s. and now the uk, it certainly sounds like that may have been in response to some kind of specific security threat. what can you talk about from the podium in as much specificity that you can and if you can t be specific, at least help us to understand, are there multiple threats? is there multiple conflicts? what is going on? yesterday the tsa announced measured on flights inbound to the united states from ten of more than the 250 countries that have flights coming into the united states that serve as the last.of departure. even ranking member of the house intelligence committee adam schiff, who we have not always shared the same point of view with said, quote, these are ....
There was discussion the other day about a russian official noting that both campaigns they talked to. where is the concern about their efforts on the hillary clinton thing? the democrats and the democratic party and a lot of those individuals are quick to point fingers, and yet when it comes to discussing their own collusion and questions involving their involvement with the russian officials or buyoffs with the russians, there s no discussion there. so you ve got to wonder on both sides, where s the parity when it comes to these kind of investigations? margret? sean, the fbi director saying nothing, yet the president tweets about wire tapping. former head of the dni, house intelligence committee. a series of officials. so when does this end for the president? it s not a question of a date. it s a question of where we get answers. you ask the question how does an american citizen who should be protected by law from having their identities unmasked. ....
