guilt. bit of a nightmare and has been for the past couple of weeks. it shows me the power of god, the power of our earth. the cracking is far from being over. we re ready to pretty much leave there in ten minutes and it s say good-bye to everything. announcer: this is new day with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. it s tuesday, 6:00 a.m. in new york. top fbi justice department and intelligence officials agree to share highly classified information with lawmakers related to the russia investigation. this comes after a meeting with president trump who has demanded details about a confidential fbi source that he claims without offering any evidence may have spied on the trump campaign for political purposes. the white house says chief of staff john kelly will immediately set up a meeting for congressional members to view. of course you ll remember the
trump wants to put out and it s an insight into whey they shut clovis down. he was always too honest and eventually they pulled him off and he wasn t a mouthpiece anymore. when you hear that description of the meeting. yes. where is the spying? where is the nefarious? where is the evil in play? that was two academics sitting down by the fire wearing tweed coats. it s tough to stick to the script when it s totally opportunistic. the problem with the arguments being advanced and the opportunity plays and arguments used by the campaign and the crew is that it s all situational ethics. angry about one thing one day when it s in their favor and flip the script the next day and hope nobody notices. that s one of the ways you know this isn t a sturdy ship. they do have something going for them, there is a paranoia in this country about how the government does its business, how investigations are run, big
