Greenlighting an investigation into biden without any evidence of wrongdoing. And in moments, ill speak with the throne and mccarthys side, that is republican Congressman Matt Gaetz who is threatening to oust the speaker, in part over this issue. But first, some context. Republicans want to know if President Biden benefited from his sons business dealings. And that is a legitimate question. But the doj did spend here is investigating hunter biden, and so far there has been no evidence that his father did benefit. Meantime, House Republicans and their investigations have presented zero direct evidence to contradict that. Also, mccarthy is to invest now unilaterally without even a vote, even though Kevin Mccarthy himself from 11 days ago disagreed with that method. Quote, if we move forward with an Impeachment Inquiry, it would occur for a vote on the floor of the peoples, house not for a declaration by one person. And just four years ago, mccarthy attacked democrats for doing the same.

The president encouraged all of us to spend time with the press because even on an offtherecord, if we couldnt answer their questions, we better go back and do more homework. The last thing ill say, one of my fondest vignettes of the press and reagan was Sam Donaldson, lou cannon of the Washington Post, Andrea Mitchell of nbc news were all fighting about who was going to do the last pool report on air force one or 26,000 as we headed back to california at the end of the reagan presidency. And my lasting memory on a portable typewriter was Sam Donaldson on the floor of air force one typing the final pool report and reagan came back to say thank you. Thats the kind of relationship, even though it gets tough, iran contra, my job in the aftermath of iran contra was to remind reagan before he went within shouting distance of sam or andrea or anybody else, remember if you answer the question on iran contra, you might as well not give the speech youre giving today because nobody is going to c
To authority, quite responsive to what a president wants and if you look at the various covert actions over the years and ill be discussing some of them, these were directed, conceptualized orchestrated endorsed by president s of the United States. Now, when we get into the controversy of the cia itself, i think its important to understand that when president s come to washington, they fall in love with two institutions. They fall in love with camp david and they fall in love with the cia. And when they fall in love with the cia, unfortunately, its with the clandestine aspect of the cia. Its Clandestine Operations and its covert action that they fall in love with. Harry truman was an exception to this and ill discuss that in a minute. When president s have had trouble with the cia, its been over intelligence analysis where i spent 24 years as a soviet analyst. And the remarks of a couple president s will i think demonstrate what i mean. One of my favorites is Richard Nixon. When Richar
