ford. then george w bush. needed to quality step in at any given moment? it has a lot to do with it. ofiously, a certain degree compatibility. i was not using the vice .resident with thatas all over i would not run for president. i do in one to be the one who lost because he had about heart. a bad heart. that never changed and that was one of the reasons why george bush was comfortable with me and gave me as much latitude as he did. that was a very important build. the outcome of the iowa caucuses >> before turning to the cards, one is for you. we have this legislative branch person here in this confidential discussion. depends onof law maintaining that privilege and confidentiality. how do they handle this when they are not formally part of the executive branch? more in the nature of the legislative? >> people could conjure up one. people think of it as being three big separations, it is the wrong concept. the power that would be could require firmer -- further limitations on power. concept by the founders was to limit founders -- powers. the had the executive ability to do things b

if you have a briefer in the room like gerald ford did or like george h bush did for all four terms and george w bush did for his eight years you can use this mechanisms. if you don't have that you need another mechanisms. you hope they pass on any feedback to the central intelligence agency unfiltered. times the president writes on the daily briefing and a copy is giving to the agency to look at. that was president carter's style. on his copy he would write in the margin, circle things, ask questions and the copy of that would get back to the agency and figure out what the president needs. >> a solid goal of the agency was -- there were stories of reagan working from the three by five cards and not doing a lot of leading. that is not what you gain from the sources you talked to about reagan's processing of the daily briefing. >> it is said reagan wasn't a leader but we can debate that. reagan's dierary published after his -- diary -- death show comments about the daily briefing. he would remark on things in there. the other way we know is because we have cia historian who went into the

george's police station. michael, malik and elijah ford appeared appeared in court to see if there are probable cause to hold them on charges. the judge ruled there is cause and all three should be indicted soon. we now know the name of the officer whose friendly fire shot killed officer jacai colson. he is identified as officer taylor krauss. >> it's a double tragedy. i don't know if we lost a police officer but we lost one in a friendly fire incident precipitated by something that is senseless. maureen: also revealedin video of officer jacai colson's death to be released to a website entitled world star hip hop. police say ford may have a history of mental illness and say he recorded his last will and testament minutes before opening fire. breaking news in the case against hector olivera of the atlanta braves. sources confirm to abc7 olivera bonded out and is now on his way to national airport. olivera was arrested after a dispute with a woman at ritz carlton hotel in pentagon city this morning. he is charged with misdemeanor assault and battery. the atlanta braves organization says it is extremely disappo

>> i don't know anything about the internal shakeups but paul manafort was with ford, ronald reagan, george h., george w. that's a good record. >> not sure about that. >> he's going to shake this up and change it around and be more delegate focussed. the will of the people should matter more than 2400 delegates but who am i to say that. >> a quote in "the washington post." trump campaign spokesperson. in real estate he builds a building. doesn't matter who the marble vendor is or carpet vendor or who is providing the furniture or who is the designer. his name is on the building, and it's his product. he sort of approached the campaign similarly. my name is on this and nobody else really matters. so given the stumbles of the last couple of weeks, do you think there needs to be more guidance? and more importantly, would he even take more guidance? >> hope is largely right that part of the reason he's succeeded so far is because he's the one saying this is my brand. i'm going to focus on these things and be authentic. i'm not going to poll test everything coming out of my mouth. the philosophy

george h.w. bush, ronald reagan, gerald ford? all reasonable republicans, all decent and dignified men. and now paul manafort is working for the most relentlessly ignorant vul garian in the history of republican party presidential politics. paul manafort has the kind of political resume that would more likely find him on the never trump team. willie sutton, one of the most famous american bank robbers of the 1930s, when he was asked why he robbed banks, said "because that's where the money is." that's what you get for asking a bank robber why he robs banks. no bank robber has been asked that question since willie sutton. willie sutton's answer applies perfectly to lobbyists. and so no one in washington asks a lobbyist representing a tobacco company why she does it. no one asks a lobbyist representing some dictator why he does it. everyone knows. that's where the money is. and so lobbyist paul manafort has joined team trump for a paycheck we will only begin to get a picture of in the campaign's next f.e.c. spending report. but we already know pau paul manafort's worth more than everyone
