Transition shortly after the election about how there might be a rift between the intelligence community and donald trump based on certain things he said about a lot of agencies becoming politicized. this is another example of that. is the trust between the white house and fbi right now just gone? i think it is not gone. i think that there are significant challenges which could harm us all. in other words, the fbi is doing more than the trump/russia investigation the so the first step is getting a new fbi director in, so there s been a nominati nomination, and getting someone in who is going to be considered legitimate by the fbi agents. but so long as donald trump sort of abused the russia/trump investigation as him against the fbi, there will remain a rift. the way i tend to look at it is this really isn t a he said/he said things, though the reporters are saying that, comey ....
So, if joe lieberman is to become the next fbi director, he s not going to get there without hitting more than a few speed bumps, some of them thanks to his fowl former democratic peers in the senate. a senate leadership source tells cnn that the overwhelming majority of democrats will be against him, him being the man to emerge as president trump s front-runner for the job. it s quite a challenge for lieberman who was the democratic party s vice presidential nominee in 2000. here to discuss, democratic senator ed markey of massachusetts, a member of the foreign relations committee. senator markey, thanks so much for being with us. thank you. the president says joe lieberman a leading contender to be the fbi director. if he nominates joe lieberman, would you support that nominati nomination? well, from my perspective, at this time, what the fbi needs is a professional prosecutor, someone who is not considered to be political, someone who is ....
From democrats necessarily. even dianne feinstein on our air last night saying she really likes joe, but wondering if this really should be out of the realm of a politician and really from the realm of somebody in the ranks. here s the thing, the senate can actually get this through, fbi director nomination, without any democratic votes, but it s part of the white house thinking about joe lieberman, about why he s the leading contender is to have sort of a kumbaya truly bipartisan moment that people can rally around, i think they may have miscalculated, because democrats, you know, ever since basically he left the party and he was sort of rushed out of the party by his own democratic voters in connecticut in that primary in 2006, have not sort of, you know, felt that joe lieberman is entirely one of them. this may be more about john mccain and lindsey graham having influence with the white house than it is for a play for democrats. right. as john puts it, joe no! that s what a lot ....
Intended for nor has it been the principle of breaking down somebody that s qualified. i cannot support this nominati nomination. leading republicans warned they may have no choice to pursue a maneuver. hamilton is rolling over in his grave. i am sorry, we got here but we are here. on the same day he condeof ae attack in russia. absolutely a terrible thing, happening around the world. president trump welcome egypt s president. we are very much behind president you are standing very strong. ....
Senators he is meeting with this morning or seeing this morning, if he may ask them for their support for his supreme court nominee. it seems like it s been a long time ago, carol, but only a couple days ago he made that nominati nomination. that is something that really is next up here in washington, will his nominee be confirmed. so the president, whenever he is in these settings, coming face-to-face with democrats, he can certainly use this as an opportunity to perhaps try and convince them or persuade them or twist an arm or two. we ll have to wait because mark burnett s introduction apparently is a long one. let s turn our attention to another potential diplomatic hit to u.s. diplomacy. reports of high civilian casualties in the anti-terror raid in yemen that left one u.s. navy s.e.a.l. dead. ryan brown harmon. reports came in from the u.s. ....
