vietnam and enemies list, nixon, the outright blatant attempt to silence someone, understand what we're seeing here. the president has found a way out. instead of firing somebody, instead of trying to impeach somebody, we may be headed to the time where someone in office is going to be silenced by having their clearance revoked. once you revoke the clearance of someone, like chris wray, like a sitting dni, like robert mueller, the special counsel, he can't even get in the building to do his job. the president may have found a way around how to silence somebody here. >> john cifer, let me ask you about the russia question. it seems to me this is not an accident as frank said, someone who understands the russia file, someone who understands the witting and unwitting participants and whatever it is the russians have found to have done in the 2016 election. their efforts to meddle, their possible success, i guess we're counting on robert mueller to get to the bottom of that.
