of course, we should have captured osama bin laden long before we did. i pointed him out in my book just before the attack on the world trade center. president clinton famously missed his shot. we paid pakistan billions of dollars and they never tell us he was living there. fools. he seems to be saying he warned us all, but no one listened. think about that. as you remember how you felt on 9/11. read the book, he says, then you ll see. well, keeping them honest, we did read the book. it s called the america we deserve. and here s the passage in question. one day we re told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address osama bin laden is public enemy number one and u.s. jet fighters lay waste to his camp in afghanistan. he escapes under some rock and a few news cycles later it is on to a new enemy and a new crisis. that s all. not exactly paul revere s midnight ride. not even mr. toad s wild ride. and there s more to the story. cnn s jim acosta joins us now with the very latest. pre
it is a big difference between her and hillary clinton. she was the secretary of state. we lived through years of this conversation. by the way, earlier there were similar reports about jared kushner doing something very similar. i think it just under lines what a phony issue the e-mail issue was about hillary clinton. they knew it was bogus because they did the same thing and they obviously don t think it was a big deal. it was a bogus issue about hillary clinton. i think they are acknowledging in a way that it is bogus for them. do you think the house oversight committee might do with the issue? it is very possible they would call her in to testify or call others in to testify. he is right. she is not the only one to do it. at the end of the day, one of the questions i have is why did it go on for so long.
than he has as president. so how does that square with what he is now saying about admiral mccraven? i m not sure it does square. certainly there has been a key budget increase over the last year, not truthfully all that significant compared to past budget increases. but i m trying to kind of square that with, you know, the way he has coordinated with our allies, the ways he has made it tougher in some cases for our military to maintain those alliances, to counter some of the things that are going on around the world, the broadening of various threats and how we are addressing them from a national security standpoint, the veterans administration. there has been a lot of talk about fixing some of the shortcomings there, but not a whole lot of action. in fact, just this week i know you have seen the other scandal that s occurred with g.i. bill payments.
know, the thing that s stunning about this to me is there is incredible hypocrisy. she knew this was a huge issue. and then to go and just disregard it as though you re above the rules is problematic. the arrogance. the incredible arrogance with a little measure of stupidity. thinking that after watching this campaign which she had a pretty good seat for and then not being scrupulous about your e-mail practices is pretty remarkable. she didn t know. she didn t know the rules coming in after a year of a campaign. which just seems incredible. and having sat through all those campaign events with her father where all he talked about were personal servers and personal e-mails. it s a big difference between her and hillary clinton. hillary clinton should have obviously also known the rules. she was the secretary of state. but we ve lived through years of this conversation nationally. by the way, earlier there were similar reports about jared kushner, her husband, doing something ver
federal prosecutors jeffrey toobin. and ann milligram. jeff? irony is dead. is ivanka trump in legal trouble? i doubt it. most people realize that government officials do use their private e-mail occasionally. hillary clinton did it, too. it is not fundamentally a big deal. the news media made it a big deal. donald trump made it a big deal. but this is not a it s technically not within the rules, but everybody in government does it. this is the problem. this is why hillary clinton got a very raw deal. may not be illegal, but in terms of irony off the charts. oh, my god. it s just and i feel personal responsibility for this as well. i spent a lot of time here on cnn talking about hillary clinton s e-mails. and i think we talked about it too much. i think we made a bigger deal than it should have, but it fundamentally is not that big a deal. it s not that big a deal for
