people last night started saying wait a second, did the trump administration do a nunez where nunez announces i ve got this information, i m going to the white house, he came out and said i ve got this information. it starting to smell a little bit here. especially by the way, i want somebody to give me an operating theory over the next 2:20 and clint you re going to have the first whack at this, why wouldn t the white house say don t rerelease those transcripts? the stuff released, nothing was horribly damaged. it was just enough for the president to sand up and go look at that evil press, look at the enemy of the state. look at what is going on here, i m trying to run this country and the cosmopolitans and the elitist it s cosmopolitan bias. by the way, you can follow
across sensitive information, went to u.s. officials beforehand and had a discussion about what could be public, what couldn t be public, what shouldn t be published. there is much that has been withheld over the years for national security reasons. it is but everything s extraordinary these days. it s extraordinary they didn t ask. they didn t even ask. that is extraordinary. the washington post s brad miller, thank you so much. we greatly appreciate it. so, donnie, here s the operating theory that we heard people talk about last night and that some might say some might say you have this extraordinary leak damaging supposedly to the white house and damaging to the allies but really is damaging to the press because everybody came out yesterday going this is a shock, you saw it on tv, suddenly
didn t take any questions, just gave a statement. why is that their operating theory at this point in time? well, because it was a suicide bomber involved and that, of course, points to terrorism and actually also points you toward islamist terrorism. there has not been any claim of responsibility yet from any terrorist group. al qaeda and isis haven t put out any official statements yet, but i can tell you that on social media, people who are supportive of isis, of other jihadi groups, are celebrating right now. they see this as a success. but we ll have to see what this was and who was responsible and whether there was a wider cell that was involved in this attack. we saw what the brussels and paris attacks, those were carried but by an isis cell with
they didn t know whether that person was involved in the shooting or just running away. there was a lot of gunfire exchanged with that suv and police that explains why somebody would run away. now they re saying they don t believe that that person that was detained was involved in the shooting, and that is suggestive that it was just two, and that there s not another person at large. we ve been trying to square that arithmetic all day, and its been, you know, curious problem to resolve, now it s appears that the point that that s the, that s what they re coming around to thinking now. is just two people, not a third. and the other possibility is that one of the two people in the car was the fiance of the other. but again, that s not, not confirmed. that s the kind of operating theory, but it takes us in a slightly different direction here. a little less involved, and finally, we re told that they
atta attacker still on the lam, which is pretty incredible, salah abdeslam. one operating theory right now coming from a source in the intelligence community saying he may have made it back to syria or be on his way back to syria. if that ses the case, talk to me about what happens to him there where his role falls in isis now having carried out these horrific attacks. so i do find it a little hard to believe he s made it all the way to syria. the amount of countries he would have to go through unless he took an immediate flight, but we would have heard if he was in syria because he would have put out a propaganda video. he s a big hero going back to isis. they can use him as a big propaganda tool to say look what we did and imagine all the knowledge that he s gained by carrying out this one attack. he s learned what were the mistakes they made as a group, what were the successes so he can take a lot of knowledge back
