what is your response? well, rudy giuliani referred to john brennan and me as clowns and i ll just say on john s behalf he s a great public servant who served with great distinction for about three decades working his way up to be director of the central intelligence agency and i spent about 50 years in government servi service. i had two combat tours in southeast asia and served 16 years in three separate civilian capacities in intelligence, two of which were political appointee positions, one in a democratic administration and one in republican. as for mr. giuliani, i will choose to remember him. i remember when he was mayor and
i haven t seen them the detail on this particular nomination. so i ll preserve judgment, but i think the vetting on a number of individuals who actually were confirmed was deficient. i think it probably makes sense for the president to send a little more time doing research on his own nominees before he sends them to congress. reporter: it s not purely a political question. i spoke to a democrat from connecticut who said look, this process, if it holds up indefinitely is a disservice to the veterans you talked about and quite frankly, it s a disservice to dr. jackson to come up here and have his personal record exposed in a such a way. if it ends up being the kind of thing that might prevent him being confirmed, it s the kind use to deal with in private. but also, for ronny jackson, he s served three presidents? it s no servi figured out in
servi service. your comments to your fbi family i know are heart felt. know that even though there are some in the administration who has tried to smear your reputation, you had acting director mccabe in public testimony a few weeks back and public testimony yesterday reaffirm the vast majority of the fbi community had great trust in your leadership and, obviously, trust in your integrity. i want to go through a number of the meetings that you referenced in your testimony. let s start with the january 6th meeting in trump tower where you went out with a series of officials to brief the president-elect on the russian investigation. my understanding is you remained afterwards to brief him on again quote some personally sensitive aspects of the information you relayed. now you said after that
all of this help set off. when comey held his conference announcing no charges against comey, he also took the in appropriate step of calling her extremely careless. clinton aids are convinced that her reputation was damaged to voters and she never recovered, that probably would not have happened without russian internal revenue servi interference. the fake information is still a major issue. multiple sources are telling us russia is still trying to spread large misnafgs in order to confuse elections. dana bash. all right dana bash. cnn james and karen. james i ll stafrt with you. what do you think comey knew as
get to cnn? i went miami and went back to canada to host a morning show and back to cbs in the summer of 92. worked as general assignment reporter and eventually became the chief white house correspondent and the anchor of the sunday evening news and filled in for dan rather. hurricane dennis came ashore this afternoon, a dangerous category three storm. why did you go from cbs to cnn? they made a bunch of changes, they decided katie curic would be the anchor. that transition it was in that transition. it was decided i would probably find a better home somewhere else. you go to cnn, it s like being in the witness protection program. you re over there and then you come over to fox, the big dog. yeah. for christian secret servi conservatives your mom would be proud of you, she died when? in 2010. how did your mother process
