Absolutely, I recognize that process. I shudder at it because it's so insidious and some ways evil. But it is -- it's the nightmare of anybody who works in the White House that you might go down in that direction. Then that's why, you know, some years ago, one of our most distinguished historians David McCullough wrote, that the single most important asset of a president is character. And when your president lacks character, it sets a tone for the entire government, certainly for the White House, but also for the cabinet. And I think a man like Bill Barr, listen, he can defend himself. He's responsible for his own actions. But he got sucked into this vortex and he's now is a very -- his reputation in many important impartial circles has been badly damaged. Because he took an office under the pretense of being independent, and now he looks like the president's man who is spinning this, the story of the Mueller probe in a way that's entirely favorable to the president and not respectful of the facts.

Well, that's exactly right. That was why you saw the president come out with a very tough statement on Tuesday and then immediately start dialing that back. And that was when General Powell issued his statement of regret. So I think that there is some modulation going on here. And let's face it: There's no play book for this.

Yeah. I mean, it was a success. This is a brand-new capsule. This flight was unmanned but this is, sort of, the first spacecraft designed for astronauts since NASA retired the space shuttle in 2011. And everything worked well, but this isn't really game-changing new technology. I mean, this looks exactly like an Apollo capsule. And I went back and watched some YouTube of Apollo landings and it looked very, very similar to what we saw today. And several key systems weren't on board.

Not really, S.E., because there were so many Democrats in Trump districts, in Iowa, in Michigan, in Virginia, where Trump carried the district by ten points who voted for the impeachment inquiry. So, obviously, when you have a caucus that is 230-odd members, you're going to lose one or two votes. But it's remarkable how unified we actually were, and that wouldn't have been the case a couple months ago.

So President Trump has already been damaged by this. A new poll, 66 percent of people say he's acted in a way that's unpresidential. But in that same poll, some bad news for Democrats, Congressman. Views of the Democrats' handling of the inquiry tilt negative. 50 percent disapprove of the way Democrats have handled this, 43 percent approve. Pelosi's approval is also underwater. I know you think that this is important no matter what the polls say, no matter what the political consequences, I get that. But the political consequences might not be theoretical.

We want to hear where they stand on the issues of gun violence prevention, that they support things like background checks, disarming domestic abusers, passing a national red flag law.

That's right. We're seeing Gore at 47, Bush at 44. That's a very narrow lead for Gore. In fact, it's within the margin of error, so we call that a dead heat; Ralph Nader just at 2 percent and Pat Buchanan at 1. Maybe the money will help.

The best of all worlds would be that the families come together over the good interest of Elian. That seems not to be possible now. I still hold out the hope that it may be possible after the transfer of care and custody to his father take place. The family in Miami is very attached to the boy. They clearly don't want him returned to Cuba. And I think that is still the big fear that they have that returning him to Juan Miguel Gonzalez, his father, may result in his immediate removal from the United States.

A lot remains a mystery, to be honest. The individual has been described as an intelligence official but remains, as you said, anonymous. He or she is being represented by the same legal team as the whistleblower who submitted the initial formal complaint to the Intelligence Committee inspector general, and it's that complaint, of course, that kicked off this whole Trump-Ukraine affair. One of the lawyers on the legal team, Mark Zaid, says this second individual has spoken with the inspector general. That means that this person now qualifies for whistleblower legal protections under the law. Zaid says this individual has not filed a formal complaint, which means that he or she is almost more like a fact witness at this point who can possibly corroborate material in the initial whistleblower complaint.

OK. That's an important point, though - that they have not filed a formal complaint, so that's not going to be the next document that drops into our lap. Still, this is the emergence of a second whistleblower - potentially very good news for Democrats and their impeachment inquiry, no?

That's right. We're seeing Gore at 47, Bush at 44. That's a very narrow lead for Gore. In fact, it's within the margin of error, so we call that a dead heat; Ralph Nader just at 2 percent and Pat Buchanan at 1. Maybe the money will help.

The best of all worlds would be that the families come together over the good interest of Elian. That seems not to be possible now. I still hold out the hope that it may be possible after the transfer of care and custody to his father take place. The family in Miami is very attached to the boy. They clearly don't want him returned to Cuba. And I think that is still the big fear that they have that returning him to Juan Miguel Gonzalez, his father, may result in his immediate removal from the United States.

A lot remains a mystery, to be honest. The individual has been described as an intelligence official but remains, as you said, anonymous. He or she is being represented by the same legal team as the whistleblower who submitted the initial formal complaint to the Intelligence Committee inspector general, and it's that complaint, of course, that kicked off this whole Trump-Ukraine affair. One of the lawyers on the legal team, Mark Zaid, says this second individual has spoken with the inspector general. That means that this person now qualifies for whistleblower legal protections under the law. Zaid says this individual has not filed a formal complaint, which means that he or she is almost more like a fact witness at this point who can possibly corroborate material in the initial whistleblower complaint.

Absolutely, I recognize that process. I shudder at it because it's so insidious and some ways evil. But it is -- it's the nightmare of anybody who works in the White House that you might go down in that direction. Then that's why, you know, some years ago, one of our most distinguished historians David McCullough wrote, that the single most important asset of a president is character. And when your president lacks character, it sets a tone for the entire government, certainly for the White House, but also for the cabinet. And I think a man like Bill Barr, listen, he can defend himself. He's responsible for his own actions. But he got sucked into this vortex and he's now is a very -- his reputation in many important impartial circles has been badly damaged. Because he took an office under the pretense of being independent, and now he looks like the president's man who is spinning this, the story of the Mueller probe in a way that's entirely favorable to the president and not respectful of the facts.

Well, that's exactly right. That was why you saw the president come out with a very tough statement on Tuesday and then immediately start dialing that back. And that was when General Powell issued his statement of regret. So I think that there is some modulation going on here. And let's face it: There's no play book for this.

Yeah. I mean, it was a success. This is a brand-new capsule. This flight was unmanned but this is, sort of, the first spacecraft designed for astronauts since NASA retired the space shuttle in 2011. And everything worked well, but this isn't really game-changing new technology. I mean, this looks exactly like an Apollo capsule. And I went back and watched some YouTube of Apollo landings and it looked very, very similar to what we saw today. And several key systems weren't on board.

Not really, S.E., because there were so many Democrats in Trump districts, in Iowa, in Michigan, in Virginia, where Trump carried the district by ten points who voted for the impeachment inquiry. So, obviously, when you have a caucus that is 230-odd members, you're going to lose one or two votes. But it's remarkable how unified we actually were, and that wouldn't have been the case a couple months ago.

So President Trump has already been damaged by this. A new poll, 66 percent of people say he's acted in a way that's unpresidential. But in that same poll, some bad news for Democrats, Congressman. Views of the Democrats' handling of the inquiry tilt negative. 50 percent disapprove of the way Democrats have handled this, 43 percent approve. Pelosi's approval is also underwater. I know you think that this is important no matter what the polls say, no matter what the political consequences, I get that. But the political consequences might not be theoretical.

Well, that's exactly right. That was why you saw the president come out with a very tough statement on Tuesday and then immediately start dialing that back.

Yeah. I mean, it was a success. This is a brand-new capsule. This flight was unmanned but this is, sort of, the first spacecraft designed for astronauts since NASA retired the space shuttle in 2011. And everything worked well, but this isn't really game-changing new technology. I mean, this looks exactly like an Apollo capsule.

Not really, S.E., because there were so many Democrats in Trump districts, in Iowa, in Michigan, in Virginia, where Trump carried the district by ten points who voted for the impeachment inquiry. So, obviously, when you have a caucus that is 230-odd members, you're going to lose one or two votes. But it's remarkable how unified we actually were, and that wouldn't have been the case a couple months ago.

So President Trump has already been damaged by this. A new poll, 66 percent of people say he's acted in a way that's unpresidential. But in that same poll, some bad news for Democrats, Congressman.

That's right. We're seeing Gore at 47, Bush at 44. That's a very narrow lead for Gore. In fact, it's within the margin of error, so we call that a dead heat; Ralph Nader just at 2 percent and Pat Buchanan at 1. Maybe the money will help.

The best of all worlds would be that the families come together over the good interest of Elian. That seems not to be possible now. I still hold out the hope that it may be possible after the transfer of care and custody to his father take place. The family in Miami is very attached to the boy. They clearly don't want him returned to Cuba. And I think that is still the big fear that they have that returning him to Juan Miguel Gonzalez, his father, may result in his immediate removal from the United States.

A lot remains a mystery, to be honest. The individual has been described as an intelligence official but remains, as you said, anonymous. He or she is being represented by the same legal team as the whistleblower who submitted the initial formal complaint to the Intelligence Committee inspector general, and it's that complaint, of course, that kicked off this whole Trump-Ukraine affair. One of the lawyers on the legal team, Mark Zaid, says this second individual has spoken with the inspector general. That means that this person now qualifies for whistleblower legal protections under the law. Zaid says this individual has not filed a formal complaint, which means that he or she is almost more like a fact witness at this point who can possibly corroborate material in the initial whistleblower complaint.

Absolutely, I recognize that process. I shudder at it because it's so insidious and some ways evil. But it is -- it's the nightmare of anybody who works in the White House that you might go down in that direction. Then that's why, you know, some years ago, one of our most distinguished historians David McCullough wrote, that the single most important asset of a president is character. And when your president lacks character, it sets a tone for the entire government, certainly for the White House, but also for the cabinet. And I think a man like Bill Barr, listen, he can defend himself. He's responsible for his own actions. But he got sucked into this vortex and he's now is a very -- his reputation in many important impartial circles has been badly damaged. Because he took an office under the pretense of being independent, and now he looks like the president's man who is spinning this, the story of the Mueller probe in a way that's entirely favorable to the president and not respectful of the facts.

That's right. We're seeing Gore at 47, Bush at 44. That's a very narrow lead for Gore. In fact, it's within the margin of error, so we call that a dead heat; Ralph Nader just at 2 percent and Pat Buchanan at 1. Maybe the money will help.

The best of all worlds would be that the families come together over the good interest of Elian. That seems not to be possible now. I still hold out the hope that it may be possible after the transfer of care and custody to his father take place. The family in Miami is very attached to the boy. They clearly don't want him returned to Cuba. And I think that is still the big fear that they have that returning him to Juan Miguel Gonzalez, his father, may result in his immediate removal from the United States.

A lot remains a mystery, to be honest. The individual has been described as an intelligence official but remains, as you said, anonymous. He or she is being represented by the same legal team as the whistleblower who submitted the initial formal complaint to the Intelligence Committee inspector general, and it's that complaint, of course, that kicked off this whole Trump-Ukraine affair. One of the lawyers on the legal team, Mark Zaid, says this second individual has spoken with the inspector general. That means that this person now qualifies for whistleblower legal protections under the law. Zaid says this individual has not filed a formal complaint, which means that he or she is almost more like a fact witness at this point who can possibly corroborate material in the initial whistleblower complaint.

Absolutely, I recognize that process. I shudder at it because it's so insidious and some ways evil. But it is -- it's the nightmare of anybody who works in the White House that you might go down in that direction. Then that's why, you know, some years ago, one of our most distinguished historians David McCullough wrote, that the single most important asset of a president is character. And when your president lacks character, it sets a tone for the entire government, certainly for the White House, but also for the cabinet. And I think a man like Bill Barr, listen, he can defend himself. He's responsible for his own actions. But he got sucked into this vortex and he's now is a very -- his reputation in many important impartial circles has been badly damaged. Because he took an office under the pretense of being independent, and now he looks like the president's man who is spinning this, the story of the Mueller probe in a way that's entirely favorable to the president and not respectful of the facts.

Well, that's exactly right. That was why you saw the president come out with a very tough statement on Tuesday and then immediately start dialing that back. And that was when General Powell issued his statement of regret. So I think that there is some modulation going on here. And let's face it: There's no play book for this.

Yeah. I mean, it was a success. This is a brand-new capsule. This flight was unmanned but this is, sort of, the first spacecraft designed for astronauts since NASA retired the space shuttle in 2011. And everything worked well, but this isn't really game-changing new technology. I mean, this looks exactly like an Apollo capsule. And I went back and watched some YouTube of Apollo landings and it looked very, very similar to what we saw today. And several key systems weren't on board.

Not really, S.E., because there were so many Democrats in Trump districts, in Iowa, in Michigan, in Virginia, where Trump carried the district by ten points who voted for the impeachment inquiry. So, obviously, when you have a caucus that is 230-odd members, you're going to lose one or two votes. But it's remarkable how unified we actually were, and that wouldn't have been the case a couple months ago.

So President Trump has already been damaged by this. A new poll, 66 percent of people say he's acted in a way that's unpresidential. But in that same poll, some bad news for Democrats, Congressman. Views of the Democrats' handling of the inquiry tilt negative. 50 percent disapprove of the way Democrats have handled this, 43 percent approve. Pelosi's approval is also underwater. I know you think that this is important no matter what the polls say, no matter what the political consequences, I get that. But the political consequences might not be theoretical.

Well, that's exactly right. That was why you saw the president come out with a very tough statement on Tuesday and then immediately start dialing that back. And that was when General Powell issued his statement of regret. So I think that there is some modulation going on here. And let's face it: There's no play book for this.

Yeah. I mean, it was a success. This is a brand-new capsule. This flight was unmanned but this is, sort of, the first spacecraft designed for astronauts since NASA retired the space shuttle in 2011. And everything worked well, but this isn't really game-changing new technology. I mean, this looks exactly like an Apollo capsule. And I went back and watched some YouTube of Apollo landings and it looked very, very similar to what we saw today. And several key systems weren't on board.

Not really, S.E., because there were so many Democrats in Trump districts, in Iowa, in Michigan, in Virginia, where Trump carried the district by ten points who voted for the impeachment inquiry. So, obviously, when you have a caucus that is 230-odd members, you're going to lose one or two votes. But it's remarkable how unified we actually were, and that wouldn't have been the case a couple months ago.

So President Trump has already been damaged by this. A new poll, 66 percent of people say he's acted in a way that's unpresidential. But in that same poll, some bad news for Democrats, Congressman. Views of the Democrats' handling of the inquiry tilt negative. 50 percent disapprove of the way Democrats have handled this, 43 percent approve. Pelosi's approval is also underwater.

The best of all worlds would be that the families come together over the good interest of Elian. That seems not to be possible now. I still hold out the hope that it may be possible after the transfer of care and custody to his father take place. The family in Miami is very attached to the boy. They clearly don't want him returned to Cuba. And I think that is still the big fear that they have that returning him to Juan Miguel Gonzalez, his father, may result in his immediate removal from the United States.

A lot remains a mystery, to be honest. The individual has been described as an intelligence official but remains, as you said, anonymous. He or she is being represented by the same legal team as the whistleblower who submitted the initial formal complaint to the Intelligence Committee inspector general, and it's that complaint, of course, that kicked off this whole Trump-Ukraine affair. One of the lawyers on the legal team, Mark Zaid, says this second individual has spoken with the inspector general. That means that this person now qualifies for whistleblower legal protections under the law. Zaid says this individual has not filed a formal complaint, which means that he or she is almost more like a fact witness at this point who can possibly corroborate material in the initial whistleblower complaint.

OK. That's an important point, though - that they have not filed a formal complaint, so that's not going to be the next document that drops into our lap. Still, this is the emergence of a second whistleblower - potentially very good news for Democrats and their impeachment inquiry, no?

Absolutely, I recognize that process. I shudder at it because it's so insidious and some ways evil. But it is -- it's the nightmare of anybody who works in the White House that you might go down in that direction. Then that's why, you know, some years ago, one of our most distinguished historians David McCullough wrote, that the single most important asset of a president is character. And when your president lacks character, it sets a tone for the entire government, certainly for the White House, but also for the cabinet. And I think a man like Bill Barr, listen, he can defend himself. He's responsible for his own actions. But he got sucked into this vortex and he's now is a very -- his reputation in many important impartial circles has been badly damaged. Because he took an office under the pretense of being independent, and now he looks like the president's man who is spinning this, the story of the Mueller probe in a way that's entirely favorable to the president and not respectful of the facts.

A lot remains a mystery, to be honest. The individual has been described as an intelligence official but remains, as you said, anonymous. He or she is being represented by the same legal team as the whistleblower who submitted the initial formal complaint to the Intelligence Committee inspector general, and it's that complaint, of course, that kicked off this whole Trump-Ukraine affair. One of the lawyers on the legal team, Mark Zaid, says this second individual has spoken with the inspector general. That means that this person now qualifies for whistleblower legal protections under the law. Zaid says this individual has not filed a formal complaint, which means that he or she is almost more like a fact witness at this point who can possibly corroborate material in the initial whistleblower complaint.

Absolutely, I recognize that process. I shudder at it because it's so insidious and some ways evil. But it is -- it's the nightmare of anybody who works in the White House that you might go down in that direction. Then that's why, you know, some years ago, one of our most distinguished historians David McCullough wrote, that the single most important asset of a president is character. And when your president lacks character, it sets a tone for the entire government, certainly for the White House, but also for the cabinet. And I think a man like Bill Barr, listen, he can defend himself. He's responsible for his own actions. But he got sucked into this vortex and he's now is a very -- his reputation in many important impartial circles has been badly damaged. Because he took an office under the pretense of being independent, and now he looks like the president's man who is spinning this, the story of the Mueller probe in a way that's entirely favorable to the president and not respectful of the facts.

Well, that's exactly right. That was why you saw the president come out with a very tough statement on Tuesday and then immediately start dialing that back.

Yeah. I mean, it was a success. This is a brand-new capsule. This flight was unmanned but this is, sort of, the first spacecraft designed for astronauts since NASA retired the space shuttle in 2011. And everything worked well, but this isn't really game-changing new technology. I mean, this looks exactly like an Apollo capsule. And I went back and watched some YouTube of Apollo landings and it looked very, very similar to what we saw today. And several key systems weren't on board.

Not really, S.E., because there were so many Democrats in Trump districts, in Iowa, in Michigan, in Virginia, where Trump carried the district by ten points who voted for the impeachment inquiry. So, obviously, when you have a caucus that is 230-odd members, you're going to lose one or two votes. But it's remarkable how unified we actually were, and that wouldn't have been the case a couple months ago.

So President Trump has already been damaged by this. A new poll, 66 percent of people say he's acted in a way that's unpresidential. But in that same poll, some bad news for Democrats, Congressman. Views of the Democrats' handling of the inquiry tilt negative. 50 percent disapprove of the way Democrats have handled this, 43 percent approve. Pelosi's approval is also underwater. I know you think that this is important no matter what the polls say, no matter what the political consequences, I get that. But the political consequences might not be theoretical.

The best of all worlds would be that the families come together over the good interest of Elian. That seems not to be possible now.

Not really, S.E., because there were so many Democrats in Trump districts, in Iowa, in Michigan, in Virginia, where Trump carried the district by ten points who voted for the impeachment inquiry. So, obviously, when you have a caucus that is 230-odd members, you're going to lose one or two votes. But it's remarkable how unified we actually were, and that wouldn't have been the case a couple months ago.

So President Trump has already been damaged by this. A new poll, 66 percent of people say he's acted in a way that's unpresidential. But in that same poll, some bad news for Democrats, Congressman.

I still hold out the hope that it may be possible after the transfer of care and custody to his father take place. The family in Miami is very attached to the boy.

A lot remains a mystery, to be honest. The individual has been described as an intelligence official but remains, as you said, anonymous. He or she is being represented by the same legal team as the whistleblower who submitted the initial formal complaint to the Intelligence Committee inspector general, and it's that complaint, of course, that kicked off this whole Trump-Ukraine affair. One of the lawyers on the legal team, Mark Zaid, says this second individual has spoken with the inspector general. That means that this person now qualifies for whistleblower legal protections under the law.

Absolutely, I recognize that process. I shudder at it because it's so insidious and some ways evil. But it is -- it's the nightmare of anybody who works in the White House that you might go down in that direction. Then that's why, you know, some years ago, one of our most distinguished historians David McCullough wrote, that the single most important asset of a president is character. And when your president lacks character, it sets a tone for the entire government, certainly for the White House, but also for the cabinet. And I think a man like Bill Barr, listen, he can defend himself. He's responsible for his own actions. But he got sucked into this vortex and he's now is a very -- his reputation in many important impartial circles has been badly damaged. Because he took an office under the pretense of being independent, and now he looks like the president's man who is spinning this, the story of the Mueller probe in a way that's entirely favorable to the president and not respectful of the facts.

Well, that's exactly right. That was why you saw the president come out with a very tough statement on Tuesday and then immediately start dialing that back.

Absolutely, I recognize that process. I shudder at it because it's so insidious and some ways evil. But it is -- it's the nightmare of anybody who works in the White House that you might go down in that direction. Then that's why, you know, some years ago, one of our most distinguished historians David McCullough wrote, that the single most important asset of a president is character. And when your president lacks character, it sets a tone for the entire government, certainly for the White House, but also for the cabinet. And I think a man like Bill Barr, listen, he can defend himself. He's responsible for his own actions. But he got sucked into this vortex and he's now is a very -- his reputation in many important impartial circles has been badly damaged. Because he took an office under the pretense of being independent, and now he looks like the president's man who is spinning this, the story of the Mueller probe in a way that's entirely favorable to the president and not respectful of the facts.

Yeah. I mean, it was a success. This is a brand-new capsule. This flight was unmanned but this is, sort of, the first spacecraft designed for astronauts since NASA retired the space shuttle in 2011. And everything worked well, but this isn't really game-changing new technology. I mean, this looks exactly like an Apollo capsule.

Not really, S.E., because there were so many Democrats in Trump districts, in Iowa, in Michigan, in Virginia, where Trump carried the district by ten points who voted for the impeachment inquiry. So, obviously, when you have a caucus that is 230-odd members, you're going to lose one or two votes. But it's remarkable how unified we actually were, and that wouldn't have been the case a couple months ago.

So President Trump has already been damaged by this. A new poll, 66 percent of people say he's acted in a way that's unpresidential. But in that same poll, some bad news for Democrats, Congressman. Views of the Democrats' handling of the inquiry tilt negative. 50 percent disapprove of the way Democrats have handled this, 43 percent approve. Pelosi's approval is also underwater. I know you think that this is important no matter what the polls say, no matter what the political consequences, I get that. But the political consequences might not be theoretical.

That's right. We're seeing Gore at 47, Bush at 44. That's a very narrow lead for Gore. In fact, it's within the margin of error, so we call that a dead heat; Ralph Nader just at 2 percent and Pat Buchanan at 1. Maybe the money will help.

The best of all worlds would be that the families come together over the good interest of Elian. That seems not to be possible now. I still hold out the hope that it may be possible after the transfer of care and custody to his father take place. The family in Miami is very attached to the boy. They clearly don't want him returned to Cuba. And I think that is still the big fear that they have that returning him to Juan Miguel Gonzalez, his father, may result in his immediate removal from the United States.

A lot remains a mystery, to be honest. The individual has been described as an intelligence official but remains, as you said, anonymous. He or she is being represented by the same legal team as the whistleblower who submitted the initial formal complaint to the Intelligence Committee inspector general, and it's that complaint, of course, that kicked off this whole Trump-Ukraine affair. One of the lawyers on the legal team, Mark Zaid, says this second individual has spoken with the inspector general. That means that this person now qualifies for whistleblower legal protections under the law. Zaid says this individual has not filed a formal complaint, which means that he or she is almost more like a fact witness at this point who can possibly corroborate material in the initial whistleblower complaint.

Views of the Democrats' handling of the inquiry tilt negative. 50 percent disapprove of the way Democrats have handled this, 43 percent approve. Pelosi's approval is also underwater. I know you think that this is important no matter what the polls say, no matter what the political consequences, I get that. But the political consequences might not be theoretical. What if Democrats lose the House because of it?
