Some administration officials have tried to insist the president did everything he could there to prevent this incursion into northern syria. we've not seen the transcript but based on what happened and what the president said, there's a lot of reason to doubt that. in this case, i think this was just the kind of thing that the president says. but you're right. that it all becomes of a piece where he is essentially imposing his will on his commanders and catching them off guard. and they then end up doing the same thing any number of trump administration officials have to do which is reverse e...

Assessment of reasoning or legal justification, even if you step back from all of the controversy this led to, it's more evidence of the way this white house runs with the president making decisions based on his gut, not on actual legal reasoning, brooke? >> thank you so much with all the reporting. let's discuss what he just laid out with our legal experts. a former federal prosecutor and paul callan is a former prosecutor. first starting with the emails, how might this impact the impeachment inquiry going-forward? >> it all goes to the same conclusion that the democrats are likely to draw fr...
