so we haven t had a chance to digest it. but the attorney general in his confirmation hearings was very clear with a one-word answer when asked by a senator whether he had contact with the russians in any way, shape, or form. he said no, period. no condition, no modification. so obviously that turns out to not be accurate there is no reason to believe that jeff sessions in the confirmation hearing was trying to hide something. he may simply have forgotten. but it does mean two things. number one, it adds to the incredible weight of evidence that the administration is not credible on these issues. remember a couple of weeks ago when we heard that michael flynn was talking to the russian ambassador simply to wish him merry christmas. and of course that turns out not to be true. and michael flynn is no longer national security adviser. so this white house has a very, very significant credibility problem. and it s with respect to attorney general sessions, what this means, and again, ....
and glove with the president on selling the healthcare plan, the president sends out four tweets about predecessor wiretapping him. did that help or hurt? that was not part of the campaign trail. how far off course did that take you? i think it was there s really often into new territory. there is part of what the intelligence kmo committee is investigating. late today, the justice department told them it immediate more time to review the request. the spokesperson sean spicer said the president made the stupid charge. spicer dodged some of the wiretapped him. now they are trying to weasel out of it. i think the grown up here is mccain who saying put up or shut up. they have gotten away with the fantasy that there were 3 million fraudulent votes casts. this president does not get called into account for putting out false statements. even though it involves something of historic magnitude an it doesn t seem to stick with donald trump when he fly out lie ....
with the russian story and found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. nice. that s trump in tweet. joining me now are three national security reporters, charlie savage, adam entous and shane harris. shane, you ve got the story which follows up on what we had last night, that the special counsel is looking at the president for obstruction of justice. my question is how do you have to add to that? what you have now is you have the president both trying to convince director rogers of the nsa to come out and shoot down these issues of collusion, but also privately still continuing to doubt the very intelligence that the nsa collected that led to the conclusion that russia interfered in the election. we ve seen trump publicly talk about the fact he thinks they re nothing to russia, but to know that he s now saying this privately and continuing to argue with one of his intelligence chiefs about that, i think really reveals the degree to which this ....
responsible for uncovering spies. i got a call when i was in los angeles. we want you to come back and run this group. when i went over to the counterespionage group i asked if i could bring an assistant with me, somebody from the fbi and john i had work would previously in laufros angeles. the first fbi agents inserted in like cover in the cia was a singular opportunity. i tend to value those more and i ve never regretted it. most of the people in the cia did not know i was there looking for a spy. did you have a cia badge or cia badge. so they didn t know you were from the fbi? within a week everybody in that building knew i was from the fbi. they didn t particularly care for me being there but they definitely knew who i was. humana medicare advantage members. no, it s this john smith. who we paired with a humana team member to help address his own specific health needs. at humana, we take a personal approach to your health, to provide care that s just as uniqu ....
the president now? no. i don t, no i don t have nothing to say to him. let s remember, general john kelly deployed his considerable stature to back trump and frame this as fight between a serious president and loud, lying member of congress. then the tape surfaced showing it was kelly who had his facts wrong and today miss johnson s remarks it show you you can take congresswoman out of the picture and still have word of grieving mother contradicting the word of president. a president who has broken records for his misleading and false statements in office. general kelly, it is not too late for you. you can correct this record so we can all move on. but asking people to move on without correcting the record isn t moving on at all. in fact it is contrary to the accountability required. no person is above checks and balances. joining me, joint call from cbc urging general kelly to apologize for blatant lies about congresswoman johnson. first niger. former terror intelligence ....
