appreciate you both of us being with us. obviously i know you are both limited in what you can or would say, so i just leave it up to you obviously to answer or not answer. but, steve, i m wondering what you make of this extraction and also the new details which jump wasn t reporting but the times has gone ahead and reported so jim mentioned them tonight. well, anderson, as you alluded to, i mean i hate to sound like the cia spokesperson, but i really can t confirm or deny anything that jim has reported. sure. what i can say, though, is that what he said there at the end with the intelligence community being concerned about how this president handles intelligence writ large, you know, when the president handles the intelligence that is collected by the u.s. government as his own personal coinage, where he handles it as though he can do whatever he wants with it, then you are going to get both foreign intelligence services, allies of ours who cooperate with us, who are going to
reporters, but media is really president trump s cocaine. he cannot exist without it. that s an interesting way to put it. so, as he s saying that we re almost treasonist in our commentary, you re saying he s addicted to us at the same time. absolutely. if he didn t have us to rail against, he d have to fill up the air time with something else. something else. well, while he s attacking the media, he s also awfully cozy with certain outlets he likes. to prove your point, sarah, you had reports about the national enquirer and about how cozy this relationship is. your sources say that sometimes, the enquirer would send stories and covers to trump, usually through his attorney, michael cohen, before publication. and then to take it a step further, sometimes they d send feedback. so, trump would send tweaks to the stories? my reporting indicates that the relationship really was consistent with michael cohen, who is his attorney, as we know, and it establishes not just what the
