this is massive tonight, a lot of emphasis, go slow, it gets complicated. it is. the bottom line is simple though. months after christopher steele was discredited and terminated by the fbi because he has leaked to the media, a major violation of human source intelligence roles, there was an effort underway by him with his buddy bruce ohr, at that time a top deputy to rod rosenstein to try to get him back into the fbi s good graces and possibly get him working, reengaged is the word used in this emails with special counsel mueller. it doesn t appear they ever got to mueller but the mere fact that a senior justice department official was trying to get a discredited artisan intelligence source pass on to the case tells you all you need to know about this case. this is not the way counterintelligence is normally done in the fbi. career people that sources carefully, they manage them carefully. they double and triple check their authenticity and their
administration. we may be looking at the next. what do you say to these young palestinians, some of who may feel that the struggle isn t worth it any longer. others say they are fueled, reengaged with the palestinian struggle because of what s happening in the present. i would definitely say to such a person that i understand their frustration. and their aspirations. they re very legitimate aspirations. the only way that can by achieved is through negotiations. it is going to be under different leaders. i don t think the current leaders are capable of that. to keep that alive is very much in the palestinians interest. it s also how israel can remain its to remain a jewish and democratic state. that s why i say it s not a slam-dunk for israel in the sense that the dilemmas that make two states in israel s interests haven t gone away. you and i are going to continue to talk this morning, not the least about what feels like the very order of the middle east at stake at present,
of that. next week, he s going to nato and his first official trip will be to jerusalem ahead of the embassy opening in may. he has a good relationship with the palestinian intelligence services. interesting to see if talks with the middle east peace agreement can be reengaged. dagen? i ll reiterate what i said earlier. the president has the right and deserves to have the man in the job who he wanted. he s going to get him. it s interesting. now you look and corey you can speak to this. surrounded by a lot of the people that he liked in the first place. that maybe he was dissuaded from having him on board. what do you think about that? i love the moves of john bolton, rudy guliani, larry kudlow. people that have long relationships or strong relationships with the president. if you re going to work in an administration, particularly at the highest levels of the
i don t get where bob corker is coming and i guess do you his record is successful. i m sorry to interrupt. but do you think that tweets about little rocket man and we ll see what happens next, there is a brewing storm. do you think those are effective, the president s tact he is taking with north korea. well i look at the success in that you have a reengaged united nations who is making sanctions against north korea again. you are starting to see better participation from china, which you ve never seen before. which is a good thing. and you see other countries around the world actually recognizing the problem of north korea and partnering with hus. when you look at not just the oil and gas going into new yoor korea, the financial sector and when we can go after banks in china and elsewhere, that is powerful and donald trump is getting success on those fronts. so i disagree with that assessment. i think the president is far more successful than past presidents in this space
