conversation. i do think that comey s public statements about the e-mails and hillary was a very bad and unprofessional and he never even acknowledged it. so i think comey has real serious problems. what about the timing of it? but that s the other point, that he asked for resources to investigate the russia/trump connection. so, yeah, that smells. no question. and where do you think this all goes now? is this going to hang over trump? well, it s hanging over washington, that s all they can think about. i would like to see the senate restore some of its earlier luster, thinking of the great giants in the senate in the past, and with truly bipartisan, democrat and republican. let them investigate. i think that maybe you bring the house in, too. but watergate was a lot the investigation there was driven by the house of representatives and by the committees.
this is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. but, if we start saving even just 1% more of our annual income. we could keep doing all the things we love. prudential. bring your challenges. at holiday inn express, we don t just get you ready, we get you the readiest. to prove it, we took dennis, who s here for a convention and put him in a nationally televised dance competition. (cheering) ha! holiday inn express, be the readiest.
proceeding or even later, a legal proceeding, when trump isn t president. it could well be that he s going to be a key witness. and but i don t think there was any effort to intimidate him as a witness, with the threat of the tape or in taping him. is what about just in this threat, period. and again, the white house saying it wasn t a threat, but well, it s self-evident. you be the judge on that one. is there any sort of legal ramification whatsoever for this type of threat in 140 characters or less? not really. it s a pretty loose ly phrased statement. so i think he s more playing to the media and trying to brace this is a standard as your other guest said earlier, it s kind of it s just the way he acts. it s the way he tries to anticipate things, tries to cut people off before they take action and here, it s a threat
got jake tapper off the top here. our cnn chief washington correspondent and host of the lead and host of state of the union. jake, good to see you. listen, obviously, i want to get into some of your reporting on this tale of two dinners or really two versions of one dinner. but first, i want your response to the whole, i have nothing to add, you know, non-comment comment from the press secretary. i don t no what he could possibly say that would make that tweet seem like anything other than a threat to the fbi director to not talk to the press. it s an odd statement. and then, as you ve noted earlier in the show today, sean spicer declined to answer the question several times, when asked if the president is recording his conversations. which is a stunning turn of events, given that, obviously, any such recordings could theoretically be suspected if
