election, haven t provided anything to lead me to believe or should lead you to believe, and i continue to see reports coming from media sources saying when they checked in with law enforcement or intelligence community sources. there s nothing more than has been previously reported over and over again. so at some point you do have to ask yourself what are you actually looking for? how many times do you have to come to the same conclusion before you take the answer? that s what i m saying. mara? just to follow-up, did you personally reach out i m not going to say what we discussed internally. we did our job about making sure that when people had reporters had questions, we let them know what subject matter experts were available to discuss the accuracy of a newspaper story. mara? i m sure people will come back to the budget question, which is during the campaign, the president said he was not going to touch medicare, social security. treasury secretary repeated that. sou ....
Example, cla legitimately wouldw want the chinese government to see if thatot is true. w would it justify what happened, would justify sending a large team of federal agents to shut down the entire southern tip of palm beach to read mahlangu on a weekday? no,,ay it wouldn t. so one of the laws that telling you that trump broke doesn t even have criminal penalties attached to doe because it s not serious enough. federal paramilitaries don tl show up at your house when you violate the presidential records act. and in fact, as he later learned, the actual warrant for the raid, which was signed by an openly partisan judge you because you couldn t make any of this up if you triedould oncd represented jeffrey epstein side in the famous underage case that judge that judge allowed the fbi to seize virtually every piece of paperee in donald trump s house, whether or not it had ever been classified. they took roger stone s clemency order, for example, that have been on the front page of the was ....
White house might want for say it wouldn t be the end of the world if this went off track, i think it most certainly would be. it would be another disaster. and not just for congress. for trump. president trump especially after yesterday which was worse than republicans expected by far, he needs points on the board. this is his first chance. so the republicans who don t like the gop bill don t like it because of the money involved, right? primarily money. it s expensive. so they will take a few amendments to it, those republicans, and without having it scored again so they will fly blind? because this won t get a cbo score before they vote. not at first. come on, it is possible to do anything. and my grandmother used to say by hook or by crook. i think that s where are we might be at. i think they are better off without the cbo score. it was so great for them before with. right. i think at this point they would rather the cbo went on their own district period and disappeare ....
Will that still come? if it does, will it extend beyond the legislative i m sorry, what? will it extend beyond the johnsons? i think we ve discussed executive orders in the past. for the most part we re not going to get into discussing what may or may not come until we are ready to release it. i m sorry. just one more. the issue of tax reform. is there any concern there won t be enough reserve for that? i m not gonna get into specifics of tax reform today. the president has made clear that we ll have an outline of a plan very soon. what i will say, he talked about the concerns that he has with current and regulatory tax policy that benefit people from ....
Identified $125 billion in wasteful pentagon spending. how can you justify adding $54 billion to the defense budget? is that going to go to hiring soldiers or contractors? is the president concerned with wasteful spending at the dod? of course he is concerned. i think there s a big difference between rooting out waste and fraud in various programs and offices and understanding that when you re talking about adding to the fleet or increasing airplane costs, that can t be driven just through those. the commitment you have to make to purchase some of those very needed upgrades to our infrastructure and to our arsenal and to planes, ships, doesn t just come through that. because even if you could start to really identify it you wouldn t make the financial commitment that needs to be done to build the ships and planes in particular that need a substantial investment on the front end. john? if i could follow-up on ....
