were speaking today at that hearing with james comey. senator rubio exchanged about, look, if you really thought that there was a problem with this president, why didn't you go to the white house counsel? why don't you take care of it then? >> good question. >> harris: let's watch that and then we'll discuss it. >> did you say anything to the president about that is not an appropriate request? or did you tell the white house counsel that is not an appropriate request? someone needs to tell the president he can't do these things? >> i didn't, no. >> why? >> i don't know. as i said earlier, the circumstances were such that i was a bit stunned and didn't have the presence of mind. i don't want to make it sound like i'm captain courageous. i don't know that i would have said to the president, sir, that's wrong. in the moment it didn't come to my mind. what came to my mind was, be careful what you said so i said i believe flynn is a good guy.
