general. she warned the national white house council and said your national security adviser could be black mailed. the president then turned on the fbi director and said i hope can you see your way clear to dropping this thing on mike flynn and when comey didn't comply, the president fired him. >> robert costa, in the military flying business, they have what are called countermeasures, when they think they're going to get hit by an incoming missile, they release what they call chaff, often pieces of heated, shiny metal and designed to drive an incoming missile crazy and confuse it. there are obvious parallels to twitter and the communications strategy, which is part of my questions of this president. he was shot a lot of target chaff over the last few days. down over the numbers of targets, it was somehow strategic?
