Let s discuss. jeffrey lord, former commentator and white house official and david from senior editor at the atlantic. jeffrey, i m sure you have a robust defense for why this is a nonstory and this criticism of the president is unwarranted so give it to us. okay. the only thing i would say here, chris is perspective. perspective is all. i m holding two headlines from washington post, one may 25th, 2014, white house mistakenly identifies cia chief in afghanistan. the obama administration put the name of the cia on the press release, exposed him and endangered his life. second one june 30, 2016, u.s. offers to share syrian intelligence on terrorist with russia, which is to say the obama administration wanted to give their intelligence to the russians. all i m saying here is there s perspective. we need to find out the facts and let s have perspective.
