this all reminds me about a mark twain line about the fellow that rode off on his horse in all directions at once. the first thing they ought to figure out is what criteria they're using and what they're trying to do. i think that, for example, it would have made some sense in the oval office when they were going back and forth about who said what to whom for mr. comey to have suggested that the president's counsel, white house counsel join them and they have a three-person discussion so people can understand exactly what criteria are applied where. for example, a requirement, i'm told by andy mccarthy, a very fine prosecutor, for any notion of being able to block discussion or to turn away from having a free and open exchange is -- requires corruption. obstruction of justice according to andy, under some statutes requires corruption. and there doesn't appear to be any corruption that we can see or talked about or have been briefed on. that could affect the discussion of dealing with any kind of limitation on discussion very substantially. and to have comey decide to go off and present th

i argue this is not really a case of history repeating itself but more so as mark twain is reputed to have said, history rhymes. some parallels that -- are that as with cold war, asia and africa remain critical and central to china's effort to reinvent its position in world affairs. "a formal conference to launch this one vote initiative which will link china to asia, africa and some parts of europe through massive investments in infrastructure and efforts to increase trade. i think that asian and african countries, china remains convinced that it has something to offer them. chinese officials don't like to say things that overtly but you hear chinese scholars and intellectuals bringing up these points. the american response is more measured but there are still often exaggerated reports for responses. before 2016, you had instances of overreactions. in 2010, johnny cochran, the assistant secretary of state for african affairs at the time called the prc a pernicious competitor with no morals. the problem is that wikileaks got a hold of this document. it is one that is pretty easy to fi

i'll paraphrase mark twain. i have complete loyalty to the nation. i live loyalty to the government and presidents when they deserve it. that would have been his proper answer. >> that's not what he wanted, dan. the president wanted personal loyalty. >> that's the point. that's not what he wanted. and common sense tells you, you don't need to be a lawyer to understand what was happening in that room and during those conversations. this was pressure, extreme pressure on comey to assure the president that he had personal loyalty to the president, not to the nation -- to the president. there's no other way to read this, i think, than this is a code-red situation for the trump presidency, an emergency situation. it's not going to go away, and therefore it's a code-red situation for the country. this is a cloud over the presidency. it's going to remain a cloud over the presidency. there will be this and that said about it. for example, comey's attorney said today, well, there's no smoking gun. well, there may not be any smoking gun, but there's a red-hot
