low-level lackey in the russian embassy here right, they re trying to minimize how significant this was. exactly! so you have to put this all together. this is a spy story, these are the hardest kinds of stories to understand what s going on. one point, brian, if i can, listen, there have been a lot of stories written. the prior consideration of exfiltrating this source was also, in our story. so there is no conflict there. and what happened, as you know, is that with stories like this, that particular involve the president, that the messaging machine, including fox news, sadly, it s a fact, you know, moves into motion and cites details to the advantage of a counternarrative, right? which often does not reflect the reality of the story. but i know you deal with that every day, brian, so i m not telling you anything new. it is a reality of the world we live in. it s a troubling reality that there s this spin machine that s very powerful these days, but the facts in your story
nielt anything, which a really bad strategy when you re being asked something under oath under penalty of perjury and there s a written record that will show that you re lying. but at the same time there s a certain point at which you re staring down the barrel of the prosecutor is pointing at you where you just go whoa. i m out of the spin machine, i m going through the washer now. i m going to get clean and he didn t come clean and you have to wonder why. that s a great way of putting it. we ll find out more as this goes on. thank you both. it has been just over two days since president trump s intelligence chiefs publicly refuted him saying north korea is unlikely to denuclearize and isis has not been defeated. the president fought back writing the intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of iran and perhaps
trickster and so he s used to manipulation. he s used to lying. he himself has said nevered a nielt anything, which a really bad strategy when you re being asked something under oath under penalty of perjury and there s a written record that will show that you re lying. but at the same time there s a certain point at which you re staring down the barrel of the prosecutor is pointing at you where you just go whoa. i m out of the spin machine, i m going through the washer now. i m going to get clean and he didn t come clean and you have to wonder why. that s a great way of putting it. we ll find out more as this goes on. thank you both. it has been just over two days since president trump s intelligence chiefs publicly refuted him saying north korea is unlikely to denuclearize and isis has not been defeated. the president fought back
than the estimate you just sited. you have been studying it hard the damage is worse because of government contract or something that was excluded. one part of the government that is up and running the white house spin machine. we are focused on the long-term kpleconomic goals of administration. a white house official tried to explain that saying that the white house had not yet publicly confirmed the debts of u.s. soldiers at the time pence was speaking. we went back and found the u.s. coalition did tweet a message about those deaths, a full hour before the vice president s speech. as for shutdown the white house has been asking all day long to stay away from a bipartisan effort to reopen the government. it seems the white house is against bipartisan ship when it comes to ending the shutdown. interesting. thanks very much. turning now to the russia
something excluded from our first analysis. reporter: one part of the government up and running, the white house spin machine. a white house official tried to explain saying white house had not publically confirmed the deaths of the u.s. soldiers in syria at the time pence was speaking. we found the u.s. coalition against isis did tweet a message about the deaths a full hour before the vice-president s speech. the white house has been asking lawmakers to stay away from a bipartisan effort that had been building to temporarily reopen the government. wolf, after the house speaker nancy pelosi sent that letter saying perhaps the president should postpone his state of the union speech or submit it in writing, we have not heard from the president all day long responding to that. the white house just put out what we call a lid over here,
