michael cohn throw the election. ari fleisher, look, avenatti, we have seen this type running around for decades. there is always someone an operative or lawyer who is going to make a lot of money and get a lot of fame out of trashing written ton otrashingclinton or. your thought gnaw that he has a saars banking record, he actually hadta copies of those. is there any possible problem of his receiving those copies? well, certainly there can be. if he was the recipient of something illegally derived. he s an officer of the court, that was obtained against the law, that is private financial
techniques. the department of justice,, office of legal counsel, weighed in on this repeatedly andnd clearly. and now the information passedse to the general counsel. there is a worn path, a well-worn path between langley, where the cia headquarters is and capitol hill in 2002, 2003, going up and talking to laura: i made that point. nancy pelosi learned about it the same time gina did. jeff. it s it important to recogne another aspect of what you brought out in the angle. talking about this is more about donald trump than gina haspel. even to the republicans involved in this, salute to senator mccain, he encouraged me back in the day to run for senate, which i did. maybe i should be mad at him for
techniques, that existed. may i remind you of the department of justice, office of legal counsel, we did on this repeatedly and clearly and on and vigorously. and now that information passes to the general counsel. the agency that was disseminated to the field. can i point out one of the thing. there s a well-worn path between langley where the cia headquarters is and capitol hill, back in 2002 and 2003 going to the talking to the gang of eight. laura: i made that point. they were briefed. nancy pelosi learned about at the same time gina did. jeff. i think it s important her nice another aspect of what you brought out in the angle. talking about that this is more about donald trump than it is about gina haspel. and even into the republicans involved in this, salute to senator mccain. he actually encouraged me back midday to run for senate which i did. maybe i should be managing for that because i got my clock
i just don t see the value in having trump be the second guy to be using this stick in public. you know, i say let s find a way to get the russians to behave in the way we want to, and i think that allows putin to save a little bit of face going forward, and i wouldn t disagree with the importance of us knowing within government who is responsible for these things and letting them know by various means we have at our ability that we have tremendous capability in this realm. i wouldn t disagree with that at all. we don t want to see this continue in the future. there might be just a way to be more effective in making that outcome a reality. all right. jeff beatty, juliet, bob bare,
terrorism officer jeff beatty. jeff, i m going to start with you. if trump has inside information, where could he be getting it from? well, i think it s information that he gets the same as president obama gets, but what i think might be happening and i hope that what is happening i hope that president-elect trump is setting up a fig leaf scenario. in other words, when you deal with somebody like vladimir putin, you can either deal with him with a carrot or a stick or a variant of that, and president obama is doing the right thing. he is hitting russia with a stick right now, but we re about to have a transition, and vladimir putin has an ego, and i know bob, who has been involved in recruiting people, as have i, understand that you have to appreciate who you are dealing with, and sometimes you have to get them a fig leaf.
