I will be addressing my reaction to the interview with tonights special panel. First, here is the interview. Mr. President , thank you for having us here in this cabinet room, a room where so much American History and decisions were made. How was your week . We did a tremendous amount of work on natural gas going to china, cattle going to china. We opened it up. I remember you years ago when ty stopped any cattle from going to we have a tremendous amount of things happening, literally today. I have to interrupt you because, i think in spite of all the great things that we can talk about, the james comey story got in the middle of everything. Was this the wrong time to fire him . Theres no right time. Lets say i did it on january 20, then that would have been the big story as opposed to the inauguration. I was thinking about it then and i was thinking about it during this period of time. Theres no right time to do it. Im okay with it. He agrees i have the right to do it. I was a little
You talked about on monday. Monday you said to us from the podium, you would look into how chairman nunes was cleared here and with whom he met. We tried the to ask you this yesterday as you walked out. Do you have any intention to live up to the commitment you made on monday about how that happened in a process you just told us is above board and totally appropriate . I dont have anything for you on that at this time. But again, i dont have you looked into it . I have asked some preliminary questions. I have not gotten answers yet, but no, i dont have any further on that. Lets go to someone who often sits in on that briefing. Carol lee with the wall street journa journal. Carol, nice to see you. Nice to see you. Lets begin with our friend, april ryan, National Urban radio White House Correspondent, who sean spicer did begin with today, after the spar yesterday.

Threatening to quit. But not but that he did not call trump a moron, he didnt deny that. This morning, President Trump aimed his fury publicly, at least, at nbc.

It shows strzok expressing skepticism of the Mueller Probe would uncover any wrongdoing by the president or his team. Senator sanders was asked about the president s thoughts on these developments moments ago. The guy think he thinks there is a great cause for concern that five months worth of Text Messages have gone mis
