So who really does speak for the president . And the israeli Prime Minister arriving in washington to start a new relationship with the white house. Iran, hezbollah, syria and settlements. There is plenty to discuss. This story begins at the end of december. President obama had just imposed new sanctions on russia in retaliation for moscow hacking the election. Donald trumps senior Foreign Policy advisor, general mike flynn, hopped on the phone with russias ambassador to discuss the penalty. Now us law bars any private citizen from conducting Foreign Policy. But the greater mistake was to mislead the Vice President. The National Security advisor told mike pence that sanctions never came up in his calls with the Russian Ambassador. Not true. The conversation had been bugged by us intelligence, disproving the generals account. In his resignation letter, flynn sai, unfortu nately, because of the fast pace of events, i inadvertently briefed the Vice President elect and others with incomple
it off and suggested nothing came of that. but do you know that nothing came of that? i have no idea. what i do know is the dossier is at least leading in a direction that is that was accurate. they were saying that things were going on in moscow. shiller says nothing came of it. well, even if that is the case, we do know that russia was attempting to compromise trump in 2013. we also know that even in the election process, 2016, that trump was reaching out trying to do a deal in moscow. again, that s a compromising situation. now, whether there was a compromise, we don t know. but what we do know is that this president has never held russia accountable, accountable for taking over crimea and for the war and the rest of it in the ukraine area. we now know in cnn s exclusive reporting, stephen miller has been questioned about the special counsel s investigators, a top policy adviser to the president.
story. let s see if it s the end of the story. there s another development, rebecca, that we re following. we learned today here on cnn, stephen miller, a top policy adviser to the president, he s now been interviewed by the special counsel robert mueller s investigators. what do you make of that? it shows that this investigation is progressing, accelerating when you get to the president s most inner most circle, the next step is to really talk to the president himself and it s worth remembering that donald trump has insisted to the new york times that he himself is not under investigation. all of the evidence we re seeing out of the mueller investigation and the moves that he is making suggest the opposite. he is looking into potential obstruction of justice here and that s part of the reason he s interviewing stephen miller because stephen miller was involved in that process with the president of deciding to fire james comey. so very significant development here. just because
were far more focused on the importance of the court than liberals were, and the liberals may reap the will wind here if trump gets three supreme court appointees. you know, joan, i think about, you know what, we were just talking about cornell belcher making the point, you know, hillary clinton got a lot of votes. she got a lot more votes than donald trump did. right. but the difference was is that her margin among democrats was lower because you had so many younger voters, including voters of color, white, black and indifferent, white, black, hispanic, everything, voting third party. i think about those young voters 20 years from now. if not only roe goes, voe voe goes and you have something you have to fight for but have donald trump top policy adviser, a guy named ken blackwell, used to be the secretary of state of ohio, who has said that being gay is a lifestyle that can be changed. you have the vice president of the united states upcoming
mainstream media and democrats, but from republicans. you know, including as we wrote there was a tweet that newt gingrich sent that i believe was then aired on fox news, which the president watches, that really rattled him because newt gingrich is someone who has really been with him through thick and thin. his mood starts to darken and change on the flight home. on the flight home, there was the tiniest bit of a walk-back. there was a tweet he sent saying he does believe his intelligence community but we really need to look to the future. that gave you the first inkling of what was to come. he lands. he gets a late start this morning, which means he s in the residence watching more tv, getting more frustrated. there was really a push by a number of people both inside and outside the white house to get him to make some correction and walk it back. the white house has told us these were the president s words, but this was also a collaborative effort. the first draft was written by his
