do that in the next several minutes. back again, jake tapper, dana bash, jeffrey toobin and david axelrod. i don t think we ve had a buildup like this from any president for an announcement like this. i mean the president has been promoting this announcement, 9:00 on monday, for i think more than a week now. almost as if he comes from the world of reality television, one would think. i have to say also i don t think we ve ever gotten this close to an announcement of a vice president or a supreme court pick without it leaking. what makes this even so unusual is this isn t exactly a white house that s known for not leaking. that s the thing. this is a leaky sieve. but on this particular announcements, they ve been very discipli disciplined because he wants the show he s the producer. he doesn t want anybody messing up the show. the white house put out a video on twitter earlier building it up almost as if it were, you know the trailer. the season finale of this show.

the fbi was not only a leaky sieve, but there were people within the fbi actively working, actively working to try to help the trump campaign. this is just absolutely staggering, and it is a massive blow to the integrity of that body. and so he probably felt pressured to do something, because he felt like subordinates were going to do it if he didn t. one more note, another e-mail revealed over the weekend by wikileaks reportedly from john podesta appeared to show his unease over the e-mail server. apparently written and asked if the person who told clinton could use the private server had been drawn and quartered. podesta replied, at least we now know why cheryl didn t want her to run. the e-mails haven t been independently verified. we re awaitings new national poll numbers at the top of the hour, the final nbc news/wall
denied any advance knowledge of that infamous fbi letter that was sent last friday. the controversy continuing as other sources close to the fbi allegedly leaked false information to fox news which prompted an unusual on air retraction from host brett baier. today, tim kaine dialled up the pushback on this pretty unusual story line. he said the disclosures show in his view that fbi agents are misusing their power to help trump. what s come out since suggests there s more like to explain, that he knew the fbi was not only a leaky sieve, but there were people actively working to help the trump campaign. joining me now is matt miller, a clinton supporter.
