going to film it. they ll take a picture. this is what i m about to shoot down. do you think that we ll get images here of this stuff up close? eventually. but i don t think the professionals flying those planes will i was about to say, i kind of actually would be surprised if those guys would take out their iphone and do it but i would expect there to be footage of some sort. the footage we ve seen, how much of this were foreign adversaries flying satellite planes? mitt romney and one thing he said is that he actually supported biden s decision, right, the people who were saying biden should have shot over montana, that was app apparently according to cnn reporting biden s initial instinct then the military said, no, wait for it to pass over so there s minimal damage to anyone on the ground and also biden was focused on let s retrieve the data and get the information. gave them time to observe it. which was a response i appreciated from mitt romney because the fact to alys
confirmed, the two big things he s confirmed in recent days, one is the idea that there were officials within the justice department who were talking about the 25th amendment. the other is the opening of the counterintelligence investigation that had been reported via anonymous sources a few weeks ago. i think both of those actually feed into what the president wants the talk to be about, which is the idea that there are forces within the government that are trying to take him down, sometimes using nefarious methods, in his estimation. i think that s a much more friendly story line for the president than this new york times story today, which is pretty devastating from top to bottom. so i think if we look at the fact that the president is still focused on andrew mccabe, we can t discount the idea that this is something that he actually wants us to be talking about. aaron, that s really that s an interesting way of looking at it. to your point, he is getting air support on the dee
what we ve heard from that podium. well, i actually remember the night that flynn was fired. i was actually working that night at the white house. i was standing outside sean spicer s office with a group of other reporters for hours trying to get an answer on what was going on. because that evening we all saw flynn go into the oval office, and we saw flynn come out of the oval office, and we were trying to figure out if that was it, if that was the moment he was fired. when i think back to that moment, i just think a massive amount of confusion going on in the white house in trying to get this simple answer had the national security adviser just been fired. no one seemed to know, and i remember people coming in and out of sean s office that night, other lawyers, other press aides, other staffers trying to put together a statement. that s just my little window into this level of confusion just that one night that was going on around this flynn firing. there were days of that. as we kn

and when he lost trust with the president, that s when the president asked for and received his resignation. we now know that characterization right there was not true. and we know the justice department had actually warned trump about flynn and his dealings with russia. the new york times reports spicer s remarks raised red flags within the white house counsel s office. their in-house lawyer, quote, the lawyer s main concern was that mr. spicer overstated how exhaustively the white house had investigated mr. flynn, and that he said wrongly that administration lawyers had concluded there were no legal issues surrounding mr. flynn s conduct. with us tonight to talk about it, shannon pettypiece, white house correspondent for bloomberg, and aaron blake, senior political reporter at the washington post. shannon, knowing the truth now, it does make you question, as you ve had reason to, some of
