And then we got the surprises in the wednesday hearing. Yeah. And stuff continues to happen. Right. Even as of tonight, weve got this question as to whether or not james comeys friend, this Columbia Law School professor is going to hand over that memo. Weve got the Judiciary Committee on the senate side apparently gearing up to really pursue this obstruction of justice inquiry. Dianne feinstein sending a list of witnesses she wants to talk to. All of this stuff could potentially evolve over the weekend as well as heading towards that sessions testimony tuesday morning. Not to mention the 100 guarantee fr
Tonight and what fired fbi director james comey will and wont say when he testifies thursday morning. We begin with evan perezs reporting moments ago. Multiple reports that attorney general Jeff Sessions has offered to resign. Today at the White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer declined to answer questions about the attorney general. How would you k d scribe the president s level of confidence in his attorney general . I have not had a discussion about him. Im answering a question which is i have not had that diskus discussion with him. I dont if i havent had a discussion with him about a subject, i tend not to speak about it. So i understand youre learning more about whats been going on behind the scenes. This follows upen the posting that peter baker and i did that there have been tensions between the attorney general and the president going back to when Jeff Sessions decided to recuse himself from any russia related probe that was going on. A disaster. He did not disclose he had at
James comey testimony wasnt good thing for the president or faith in government or the Justice Department or even arguably for comey himself. Well see partisans of both sides spin what happened today. But no avoiding it. Things smell all around and it starts at the top.

Lets say you did go up to them and you are right . T if you stopped this latest attack, who would know . Your prevention of the threat would remain invisible and so does the threat. Its the worst catch22 ever. The travel ban insights debate for a similar reason. Our media doesnt send the urgency, lightning is more dangerous, they always tell us. So, they target President Trump, not terror, instead. You could say donald trump is a crude messenger. You would be right. But if he is wrong on the little things, what if hes right on the one big thing . Thats better than being o eloquent on all things but wrong on what matters. We had that for eight years. The next step, treat terrorist not as fighters but as deadbeats. Future antiterror tactics must be unbending in the future. No motion, no politics as methodical as a garbageman onn his morning rounds. He doesnt stop to ponder the empty egg carton or referred to coffee grounds as extremistro coffee grounds with different beliefs. He just chu
