michael schmidt is with us, anny carney and harry litman returns to our broadcast, doj veteran. these days he happens to be the creator of the new podcast called talking feds. michael, i would like to begin with you. with the president talking spying, with the president having found a perfectly pliant, it seems, attorney general on this front, what have you heard about the seriousness of purpose behind this investigation of the investigators? >> well, that's what we sort of don't know. we reported this week that barr has asked the u.s. attorney in connecticut, duram, to look at this, but he would simply be reviewing the counter intelligence investigation and how it all began. at the heart of this issue is the fact that the president has finally found someone to be his attorney general that will do the things that he wants. sessions wouldn't do that. rosenstein wouldn't do that. but here you have barr echoing the president's talking points and doing it in an effective way. barr has figured out a way to stay on message on these issues and to keep it alive and allows the president
