Yes, that is basically it. I dont know if he wanted to be there while trump was making his speech about the change of staff. Phil rucker, as condensed as they are, all of our Print Colleagues at the white house are writing the Lookback Piece about the Reince Priebus era, all six months of it. And i know you contend he was something less than a Chief Of Staff in full always . You know, yeah, i think that is exactly right. Look, this is an establishment republican who became close to donald trump over the course of the campaign. Tried to help integrate the party in the trump world. Tried to do it in washington to help trump govern and pass his agenda on capitol hill. But he was beset time and time again by the kind of chaos and disorder that has really defined all of trumps enterprises,
including this white house. It was so remarkable, that Reince Priebus was so belittled and demeaned at work, the backbiting was so intense and vicious. I talked to one staffer, the president said that Rei
That they know bad things about him. Good reason to keep really really really good files. You never no who will end up being president of the large western country. Adam davidson, reporter for the new yorker. Now time for last word with lawrence odonnell. Good evening. Good evening, rachel. Boy am i glad ive never done business in russia. Doesnt that all sound obvious when you hear it that of course it would work that way. Well and the fact the thing i have learned from adam davidsons reporting at the new yorker is you dont have to be perfect but you do have to look to see if you are really obviously doing dirty business with people who Everybody Knows are dirty. And it doesnt matter if thats okay in their country. It is not okay in the united
states if youre an American Company or american businessman doing that. Just willful refusal to look and recognize dirt you are wallowing in, thats enough to get nailed in this country under our lawes. And it is absolutely not okay if youre a Bus
I know you have other duties for the network so well let you go. But with eappreciate we appreciate you being with us. Jonathan swan, im sure you have more of the conversations than i do, but aides increasingly want you to one, give them credit for all the quote crazy stuff that doesnt happen. I think i have seen that in axios and other places, and two for the scripted moments which are sort of milestones that they are proud of getting him to hit. Whether its ultimately affirming the commitment to article 5, whether its delivering a decision on afghan policy. And they want to sort of separate out judgment or responsibility from these wild, unhinged performances like last night. Yes. Its doubly strange because you really have a white house at the senior level where if you take the family out of it, if you take jared and ivanka who obviously voted for their father in law and their father, if it was any other election they werent related to him they would have voted for hillary

Make my point through economic argument. But the reality of it is weve got a president that doesnt want to listen to reason, doesnt want to hear the economic argument. He wants to rule through fear. And through intimidation and that simply isnt president ial. Thats not american. Thats not what this country is about. We are a country of broad shoaled rtz and big hearts. We welcome the stranger. We put people to work. These individuals were vetted not once, not twice but three times. None of them have committed a crime. They have done nothing but contribute to the greatest country in the world. They willingly came forward and gave their information to the government and this president betrayed them. It doesnt need to get any fancier. Were not splitting atoms here. This is an unbelievable conversation. Patty hasnt had a chance to speak yet. I said this is no long ardog
whistle, its a bull horn now. I think the argument this is a legal issue is completely disingenuous by this administratio
