some of this based on intercept. some of it based on what they think may have happened, but a consensus beginning to form even if no direct evidence that this is a likely scenario. . and they also believe at this point this was not a plot directed by isis leadership back in syria. they have no intelligence evidence to directly support it was ordered up by isis directly from syria. most likely they say militants including the isis affiliate in sinai. thank you so much for those new details. i want to bring in paul. when you look at these new developments that we re get. ing in, what is the most striking thing to you about what we re learning? i think it s striking that the working theories that c4 could have been used in this attack to blow this airplane out of the sky.
does that allow the pressure to build up so when she does hold ally any news conference this are all the unanswered questions. yes, because the central question as i said, has not been answered since march, she doesn t want to get into another combative yes and answer session over her server. when she holds pressers, she can go great ed to someone else, she can do her funny faces and her happens in the air and stammer and deflect but it is different one-on-one. are saying she is more vulnerable than a reporter whose what 15 minutes afternoon. exactly. ing in will help her. nothing will help her unless she makes or does a complete 180 the she really has to turn it around. i disagree. the plus side of sitting down with a reporter or five or six or seven anchors is people see more of her, she remember,
