Destruction. This is threatening a feud between the top agencies and the President Elect white house. Were getting phew reaction from moscow. Well get to that in a moment. Lets bring in eugene scott and tom lobianco. Good morning. The strategy behind this statement. Just three sentences. Unsigned. What what is the the calculation here from the trump folks . Its a continuation of Donald Trumps message during the campaign that he believes he knows more than the Intelligence Community. Thats a hard sell to make at this point, given that we know he only is getting about once a week president Daily Briefs Gnat would give him more information about National Security globally. That statement is inaccurate. These are not the same people that were heading the departments when the Bush Administration was in place. This is new information and new revelations about what is happening abroad. Tom, i talk t about the
possibility that this would cause a feud between the Intelligence Community and the
Than that. Kim jong un has departed from his grandfather and his father, who wanted Nuclear Weapons to preserve the regime. Kim jong un has come to a different calculation. Therefore, his strategy is different. He believes the only way to preserve the regime theres only one country that would change it. The United States.

A guy like bush, all these people are controlled by peemt who give them the money. It is time to drain the swamp in washington, d. C. Thats the best Case Scenario of what cohen has been up to. Here is the thing. There are numerous reasons to believe that scenario may not be the truth. For starters, lets start with this. Prior to taking money from corporate clients, cohens llc of central consultants was being used to pay hush money to the president s mistress and unexplainably to a former

Necessary, yes. The president had effectively an extramarital affair slush fund. Then Scott Pruitts luxury trip to rome on the public dime. Lets have no illusions about what was really going on here. And what primary night in america looks like in the era of trump. Im basically trumpier than trump. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. The president and his lawyer are applying the same strategy that got the president elected, to his rapidly multiplying legal threats. Overwhelm the public with enough noise to drown out the facts and muddle the issues. Whether it can work this time is still an open question. The president today spent his morning executive time, as he so often does, tweeting about the criminal investigation into his campaign, his allies and his Family Members and himself.
