know where the question came from. we had this memo. was this actually a question reince priebus had? was it something he was told to ask? both interpretations are possible. so, josh, when we look at these memos, one of the big political questions will be did they help or hurt? the context is to whom? to comey or to the president. the president is playing them out in a very obvious way. no collusion, no collusion, no collusion. he throws his own people under the bus. that is up to the american peop. i caution both sides. the president taking to twitter saying this proves i m innocent. representative pelosi was saying this proves that the president is corrupt. this doesn t prove anything. we have to if we re being fair, let s focus what they are. cop temp rain kwrous observations from one party to these conversations.
few days later and the politico story mentioned people there, ivanka, representative pelosi and so i looked at the date of that and i thought that s weird, the friday before that would have been the very same morning that my second daughter was born. so i don t think i was at the four seasons that day. we re laughing about it now but it is kind of serious because particularly in our business of journalism and michael wolff also professes to be a journalist and writer and author of a book, accuracy and detail is so important. you double, triple, quadruple check things. and when you re talking about quoting somebody or placing someone in a place, we all as journalists go through great lengths to make sure that what is about to be printed is right. you have editors and everybody else who look at the copy, too. so what is your instinct tell you about this kind of error in a book that s getting this kind of attention and how that potentially impacts everything else that you might read in
theory? there s some sympathy for her view for those who are worried about voter suppression efforts in florida and other states. but to draw the parallel to draw a connection between voter suppression efforts and what darrell issa is doing on that want committee i do think strays into the realm of conspiracy theory. that doesn t make the concern that the house minority leader is expressing a wrong district attorney have. right. what s your reaction to what nancy pelosi said? my reaction right off the top is i believe there s a previous governor or current governor who tried to vote a couple of years ago who couldn t vote because he was listed as dead on the florida voter roles. in this day and age when there s so much information available electronically to match those roles with what the social securitys is administration has available, what s generally available on public sites
committee never gets law enforcement investigatory material. he offered it on the condition that the subpoena from chairman issa would be satisfied and issa was not ready to take yes for an answer. extraordinary accommodation that issa said no to. this has been a fishing expedition on a theory that holder was somehow secretly commandering this gun walking and covering up. there s no evidence for it. committee at the end. day will lose and lose badly on this. i want to play you something, john from representative pelosi who discussed the contempt vote before reporters today. take a listen to this, john. don t forget they are going after rearic holder because he is supporting measures to overturn these voter suppression initiatives in the states. this is no accident, it is no coincidence, it is a plan on the part of the republicans. john, is that a conspiracy
and kenya, they say they only have three weeks left or less. three weeks of food supplies, much more on that tonight. we re going to talk to a lot of folks about the situation on the ground here in somalia. reporters who have been covering it for us for weeks. we begin with breaking news out of washington. harry reid becoming the first member named to the super committee, they are patty murray of washington state, max baucus montana and john kerry massachusetts. this comes at the end of the day that saw wall street climbing out of the smoking hole. part of the reason squabbling over the debt. the question tonight, will this super committee end the squabbling or will they create a whole new problem. john king is sticking around for us tonight. also with us, david gergen. john what are you hearing about the names given to the super committee. we won t know the full composition, therefore the chemistry of this committee until we get the other picks in the coming days. max bauc
