which was obtained by a foreign agent working with russian agents. that s what that was based on and to use that as the excuse to penetrate a presidential campaign. it s just wrong. the president just tweeted that clapper admitted there was a spy. has now admitted that they were spying on the campaign. large dollars were paid to the spy far beyond normal. starting to look like one of the biggest political scandals in u.s. history. every one of those things is not backed by any fact that we understand at this time. clapper didn t say they were spying. he borrowed the word because it s coming out of trump s mouth and he actually said the opposite, that the intention wasn t to get dirt on trump. it was to see if it was true because of the suspicion that s you re choosing to ignore, congressman i m not ignoring anything. you just said there was no basis to look. i looked at them and i find them to be worthless. i ve sat through almost all of these hearings. all the interviews and
it should have been a gang of eight meeting, but because this has become a pure political antique we are now have two meetings. what will be interesting though is more information will be able to be shared in the gang of eight meeting because they have a higher classification in terms of being able to receive top secret is that right? that s interesting. in other words, the information might not be jt an exact duplicate one meeting to the other and, in fact, you re saying that devin nunes and trey gowdy won t get as much information as the following meeting? so devin nunes is one of the members of the gang of eight, so he would be able to sit in on both meetings, but trey gowdy doesn t have the same ability to receive information as does the gang of eight. listen, why weren t democrats just invited to the first meeting? why didn t devin nunes want democrats there? because this is a charade.
released. it would be awesome. what do we believe about that as a prospect? two rules dealing with releases like this. never predict when it s going to happen because it s not in your control. number two, if you re dealing with north korea, really pay attention to rule number one. a couple things on these. president clinton went over, you may remember, and got a release early in the obama administration, two women journalists who were held. clapper didn t know if he was coming back with awe group of hostages. he did. it was in the middle of the sony hack. the u.s. didn t know that was going on from north korea at the time. in this case we don t what kind of shape they re in.
world kind of trolling the proceedings? i think at this point it s expected. it s sort of like, well we have to wait to see what the president s reaction is at the ends of a big day when we know he is going to weigh in on anything to do with russia, this cloud s been hanging over the administration. one thing about the tweets you just read, the one where he says that clapper said there was no collusion. first of all clapper didn t say that. he said he couldn t comment because it would affect the investigation. trump actually made that tweet the background of his entire twitter page which sort of works symbolically. the issue that is sort of hanging over the first 109 days of the administration that they just can t shake. this came after a good day on health care as always happens with the trump administration. within 48 hours there is a russia story that sort of overshadows it. of course trump was going to weigh in. it s just a matter of what time he gets back to his phone. brian,
his phone of the person we like to call the leader of the free world kind of trolling the proceedings? i think at this point it s expected. it s sort of like, well we have to wait to see what the president s reaction is at the ends of a big day when we know he is going to weigh in on anything to do with russia, this cloud s been hanging over the administration of one thing about the tweets you just read, the one where he says that clapper said there was no collusion. first of all clapper didn t say that. he said he couldn t comment because it would affect the investigation. trump actually made that tweet the background of his entire twitter page which sort of works symbolically. the issue they can t shake. this came after a good day on health care as always happens with the trump administration. within 48 hours there is a russia story that sort of overshadows it. of course trump was going to weigh in. it s just a matter of what time
