desperate housewives or whatever it is. and i would also say in this case that for a white house staff that is looking through, trying to find a mole, trying to find people who don t support the president, didn t she just give them ammunition to do searches of their phones and texts and e-mails for a particular hash tag and that would label them as people potentially not loyal to the president. i would be curious to see if they did that search what actually would come up. john, what s the reality of discussion about the 25th amendment and invoking it among the higher-ups? cabinet members, and the vice president said there wasn t one, but what do we know about that or at least pretty strongly presumed by anonymous sources and the reality of even invoking that upon this president? i think the reality is that
senator graham said he would talk to you. is that not true. senator graham talked to me. that is true. that ability to be able to turn on a dime. no senator has talked to me, lindsey graham has talked to me. that is true. don t you hear something there s something endearing about him trying to charm bob woodward, trying to be on bob woodward s side, i wish i could have spoken to you. this is a different donald trump than we hear so often now as president trump at rallies. it s a blend of a little child looking for love and approval and a dissembler because when he says that about lindsey graham, the reason he can turn on a dime is that he is without conscience. so he can go from that didn t happen to oh, that did happen as
clear, send it to the american people, which is clear that things are amiss and there s a serious problem in the white house. so this is a fair warning. do you think this person is alone? do you think it s one person? i said the same thing when people asked me when i took a one shot guess is it just one person and i said not necessarily , it could be in the process of it could have been multiple people. it looks like it was edited by the new york times. most white house staff don t write in tight little journalistic paragraphs. they said it was brian stelter s said it was edited for stylistic conformity to the new york times but not editorially, they didn t change words. i would agree with that. they would haven t access to the information that s in there so yes it could be more than one person. but i think this person is worried. i think it corresponds with what

bend to them and don t like the fact that donald trump is fulfilling the campaign promises, this is their opportunity to go after them. this is interesting that you re pinning your argument on the fact that it might be a holdover. it turned out not to be a holdover, it turned out to be a senior official appointed by the president. corey lewandowski, thank you so much. thank you. let s bring in our panel. we have former nixon white house counsel and cnn contributor john dean and cnn contributor david chalian. i think what flies with what you re saying to him that it may be a holdover is the passage we want the administration to succeed and think many of the policies have already made america safer and more prosperous but we believe our first duty is to this country and the president continues to act in a manner that is did cemental to the health of our republic. john dean, what did you think when you read this op-ed? i thought it was a person not only trying to send a warning
