momentarily as soon as we get it here. i ve asked michael isikoff and abigail to stick around. we re joined by samuel buehl, and barry burk, the cochairman of the he litigation department at cramer/levin. abigail, i know you have reported on this the very tenuous situation between the president and john kelly. no surprise here. you ve heard about they heightened tensions, even reaching a point where there s so little of a working relationship left. so i think this is a long time coming, especially when we look at the reports that have come out over last we re, this timing isn t all that surprising. i think everybody expected this
