she lives. there is something very interesting about the fact that it is eastern district of virginia, this woman, so close to the midterms. there seems to be a message that they re sending. i just want to know what it is. josh, let s go down that rabbit hole. this document, it explains the weird item that your aunt fanny sent you from her facebook feed about families being separated at the border. they re hoping it doesn t explain any shenanigans. we have 435 congressional races in 18 days. we ve got local elections. state houses. u.s. senate. and we better not see any numbers that, as they come in, don t make sense to us. so is there any chance this document is a civic warning? i think that is primarily its function here. i mean there is some chance they are going to be able to pick this woman up somewhere, maybe she is traveling somewhere, or had a plan to go to europe, although frankly i don t even know if you can be extradited on these types of charges from most

director mike haden who was asked on cnn this afternoon, about the presence of china in this intel document. let s listen. we all have seen all of the details involving russia. have you seen specific similar details involving china, iran, and other foreign actors? i have not. i think what we re seeing is a bit more of just another nation state attempting to influence american policy through traditional tools. i mean you and i may not like they re taking on a four-page ad in the des moines register, but that s above board. that is fair play. the russians are doing something more extensive. and more below the surface. so josh, that s what hayden has been saying all along. and other intel veterans. the question to you is, square what s in this complaint with the talking points you have heard from this president over these many months. well, i mean i m struck by the fact that it does seem to reflect a great deal of sub ter

assaulting this website trying to get at them and trying to discern a little interesting nugget. you make it sound like the landing at normandy. well the pressure was on for sure. another interesting fact is that as i on friday was uploading nuggets that i was taking out of the documents occasionally on twitter, you even had interaction between reporters. i was the first to break the fact that the documents revealed that three days after the benghazi attack hillary clinton slept through an appointment where she was supposed to receive the president s daily brief, the most sensitive classified intelligence document that the intelligence community produces and alerted her staff to this fact by typing out an e-mail at 10:43 in the morning saying i just woke up so i missed dan, the presidential daily brief. i reported this and josh gersten of politico said well that was a saturday. the interaction among the media
