we re learning in the woodward book. that might have prompted them to come out because people were trying to throw cold water on the woodward book and that person or this group send hey, this is true stuff and we have to give it cooperation. david chalian i think it s interesting when people like chris murphy, democrat from connecticut, and corey lewandowski sort of almost agree on something and they sort of almost agree that this person should not have come down as an unnamed author of such an article, that to do so is either counterproductive in the case of chris murphy or gutless is what corey lewandowski says. unnamed. the identity seems to me that it does matter. it really does. corey is trying to dismiss this as a small low-level government official, maybe even a holdover from the obama administration. that seems highly unlikely. but we don t know if it s a cabinet official.
good to know. and i just learned that steve bannon is once again delaying his cooperation, if we can call it cooperation. i m not sure what you call it at this point. nbc news hasn t confirmed that he s not going to appear. we heard from the horse s mouth, mike conway, who s sort of the acting chair on russia matters that there has been a subpoena. there s something going on here that is i think hard to dismiss as a koicoincidence in terms of bannon being requested to speak to mueller, his lawyer saying he ll be happy to cooperate, and him showing up at house intel, and this fake debate that we don t understand. he has no choice when it comes to mueller. we know mueller can force him to speak to their investigation, whether it be a grand jury or more cooperatively. the game played with the committee is interesting. and one wonders is the special
grand jury subpoena and he had told everybody in the white house, i want to cooperate, i want to get out from under this, it s not going to be a good look if he says no i won t cooperation. maybe we can answer written questions or we ll agree on the parameters, but he s going to have to give some information to bob mueller. i thought of you and ken delaney, this is from jab goldsmith, he served in the bush doj, he was head of the office of fiscal policy. why wasn t rosen steve recused? he possesses information about the president s beliefs and motives in the firing of jim comey, since he appears to many to have been used by the president and was reportedly very angry about it and rosenstein will very likely be a fact witness in connection with the comey firing, it s hard to understand why he did not have a
treat most threats. we make it cooperation between the branches. good i think they ll start changing their tune and start realizing that politicizing it, has a negative effect. that s going to be the movement. but we have to do it with constructive conversation. and that s what we re hoping to see him. very good. thank you very much. thank you so much. concerns about the health of the serving monarch after she was a no-show. we ll have an update on queen elizabeth
it s the cooperation part that i think needs to be understood here, not the aims on the ground. let s take the general s point, kirk. how do you cooperate with someone who is doing what you don t want them to do, besides not shooting each other in the air. i think you put your finger on the limits of it. i wouldn t say you could call it cooperation. we do have fundamentally different goals. russia is there to support the assad regime. we re there to try to go after isis which russia so far has not shown interest in doing. we have to coordinate, so if we have forces operating in the same space we done the have accidental conflict between those forces. this is about cooperating and not shooting each other, general. but what about what s being done on the ground? you had a syrian official say russia is going to win this race. what s going on here? that s a good question. but i really think we do have a common enemy here in isis.
