confident that this is moving forward incrementally, that by engaging kim, they re bringing him into the world. but that s a risk. that s an opportunity and also a risk depending on who you ask. susan, i d like to you, back to you, how you started your day on twitter and those who follow you woke up to the following wording. you were kind of taking in the new world. have to admit my head is spinning a world where canada is the president s enemy and rotting in hell, and north korea is a fantastic partner. seriously? susan, did anything transpire during the day to change your view of the world? well, you know, i have to tell you, brian, that today is one of those days that does feel a little bit like you re living inside an onion story and you clicked on it by mistake. you did see, by the way, i should say one of the president s advisers who had one of those astonisttacks on the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, over the weekend, he did somewhat apologize today for it. but you
people investigated share information and compare notes on what the governmen i doing. well, we have the perfect guest to talk about all of it tonight. harry litman is with us. he s a former u.s. attorney, former deputy assistant attorney general under president clinton, a man who as a young lawyer clerked for supreme court justices thurgood marshall and anthony kennedy. harry, i m going to have you on some night to talk only about what that was like. but for this evening and because of time constraints, we must talk about mr. mueller. this seems like it would antagonind and frustrate a prosecutor. isn t part of what mueller has, a federal grand jury, is the element of surprise? you don t know what they re asking other witnesses normally. ll, but it s just the rules of the game, brian. sure, i guess it can rankle, but everyone understands that it is routine, as betsy woodruff says. and, look, prosecutors understand that defendants should be able to confer and
deliverables? what will the presint haul off air force one as a tangible with him when he gets off the plane in the wee small hours of the morning? well, white house officials make the point that, yes, even though the language in this statement is vague, even though the president calls it comprehensive, although it s just a one-page document, that it does suggest that kim and the president will work toward the eventual denuclearization of the peninsula. they say that replacing diplomacy with the specter of a nuclear showdown is a good thing. i can tell you, though, brian, that one of the reasons why the president was spinning the smashing success of this summit before it even ended is that people close to him tell me that he was intent on emerging from these talks with some sort of victory. that had been his goal since he announced the fact that he would evenep these talks back in march. and the reason for it is really threefold. one, he thinks it s a compelling argument, a compellin
people s areas, brian. jack, it was really striking to hear the president call them provocative. that s what the north calls them. these are joint preparedness exercises for elements of the home team as the president, we would think, would see it. his other complaint was someone told him that pilots make a 6 1/2-hour flight from guam, and i heard someone today say, wait till they tell the president that during the iraq war and then again kosovo and afghanistan, our b-2 pilots flew from missouri to baghdad, unloaded the bombs, and came back. 37-hour round trip, upwards of five, six, midair refueling. 37 hours without touching the ground. they were back home in missouri at the end of the mission. so no one s worried about the stamina of our bomber pilots. well, i mean, mr. brennan was
monuments his big issue. this is stewart who has had ties to anti-semitic, white supremacist candidate out in wisconsin. this is a candidate here who republicans fear is going to necessarily because nate race already sort of underdogs there, but house races. house races in virginia. thll afford to lose in the fall. number one, barbara comstock, one of the most endangered republicans, right outside washington, d.c. quintessential suburban district that swung from mitt romney in 2012 to hillary clinton in 2016. she s fighting for her life and now at the top of the ticket, she s going to have to answer for him all summer and all fall, corey stewart going to be the republican nominee for senate. and candidates like barbara comstock and there s actually three districts potentially, three republican-held districts in virginia that could be in play this fall. all of those candidates you can bet not going to be happy with the results of this senate race tonight on their side, brian. steve, w
