and chaff being thrown in the air that it s really hard for any of us to know what s true. it s interesting to me because, you know, talking about so much about love of country and all of that, and if you love f your country, don t want to deceive. i m not saying he is intentionally doing it, but why would someone do that, you know, love of country, then deceive people and then think it s amauziamauz i amusing and put out conspiracy theories? it s a question from me. a couple questions. michael, the white house denies the president was playing a game. but you say president trump made the false claim because he understands the power of merely suggesting recordings exist. explain that. well, you know, he did this to tim o brien who s often on cnn talking about his experience with trump, the businessman. donald trump said, well, there they be tapes of my encounters with you, tim. and then they went to court to litigate a case about his book. in the end, tim o brien and his
that was sarcasm, by the way. don, this this is a terrible thing for us to now have to worry about whether we can trust our own intelligence agencies. you were talking about the problem of conspiracy theories in the previous segment. and i don t think americans need to be encouraged to have belief in conspiracies when the russians have already disrupted our election and tried to sow concern about whether we can trust anything. again, this is the guy who went around during the campaign saying the system is rigged. yeah. so there s just so much chaos and chaff being thrown in the air that it s really hard for any of us to know what s true. it s interesting to me because, you know, talking about so much about love of country and all of that, and if you love your country, don t want to deceive. i m not saying he is intentionally doing it, but why would someone do that, you know, love of country, then deceive people and then think it s
domestically in the united states. why would they want to kind of damage donald trump by doing that? albeit, of course, they want to sow disinformation and shake it up and put out a whole lot of chaff out there. but that, to me, does not make sense. i don t think he d want to damage him. everybody stand by. we have a lot more coming up, including more on where the white house now stands on all of this, as well as the president s trip overseas. what he s doing. and the subject he s avoiding. what if there was a paint. .where each drop was formulated to be smarter. .even smarter than that. .so if a color didn t go on evenly, it would balance itself out to reveal its truest, richest state. if a paint could realize the fullest potential of any color. .you have to wonder. is it still paint? aura interior from benjamin moo®e . only available at independently owned paint and hardware stores.
but this is an unusual white house that often responds to many things with radio silence. i don t think we know exactly now what that means. but do you think the russian ambassador simply playing around, saying these crizzy things in a phone conversation that he suspected the u.s. was listening in on? you know, wolf, for some reason i don t believe that. i mean let s play it out. because if that s what he was trying to do, it puts donald trump in a bad light, i would think. i mean it would explode as it is domestically in the united states. why would they want to kind of damage donald trump by doing that? albite, of course, they want to sew disinformation and shake it up and put a whole lot of chaff out there, but that to me doesn t make sense. i don t think he would want to damage him. we have a lot more coming up including on where the white
okay, let s say secretary clinton get elected and then it came up, oh, they had that, they leaked it, now they didn t say anything about it and he concealed it and then we ll have a witch hunt against the fbi and have the same thing going on now. that s correct. just to be clear, navid, i d like to get your sense here. the policy was clear here. the doj policy here is you don t do it. he affirmatively broke policy because his concern about the post election what that would look like. are you in the same camp as ali on this? i don t know. i think comey was very clear about this. i sent the letter and it was essentially congress who leaked it. he knew that would happen. it took chaff fits less than a second, on his twitter page, investigation back open. never underestimate the self-preservation of a
