he voted against the opposition and then dan white was furious. he immediately made a motion as soon as harvey's bill came up to send it back to committee but nobody would go along with that notion because it is so obvious what he was doing. so harvey's bill passed ten/one and the one vote against itit was dan's the second reading past with only one vote against it then signed into law by moscone event dan never forgave harvey for that. and then dan white resigned for him the board ofow supervisors november 1978 he had a lot of pressure from his supporters like the board of realtors because people like harvey wanted rent control in san francisco and dan white would argue against rent control and a few days after the board of supervisors voted to accept his resignation a few days after he resigned he came to moscone's office to say he made a mistake and wanted his jobob back and according to testimony moscone he said anybody can make a mistake let me figure out how to do this but when harvey found out moscone he would reinstate him he said are you

. >> national security dan coats joined sarah sanders for today's white house press briefing. they talked about russia's americanagainst elections. this is about 45 minutes. good afternoon. since the beginning of his administration, president trump has implemented a whole of government approach to safeguard our nation's election. the president has made it clear that his administration will not tolerate foreign interference in our elections from a nation, state or dangerous actor. last year, the president signed an executive order to strengthen and review the cyber security of our nation and its critical infrastructure. last week the president chaired , a meeting of his national security council to address ongoing threats. we asked officials standing next to need to break the american people on the work he's done to protect the integrity of our actions. efforts are underway to provide cyber security for authorities to investigate, prosecute and hold accountable those who legally to interview process. i want to welcome director of national intelligence, dan coats, fbi director s

white house. so i'm not sure -- dan coats seems to be out of the loop. but i think jim is totally right.arly, it points to the fact about what a political decision this is. listen, brooke, donald trump is a master at programming the cable television screens that he watches all day. >> our conversation just changed. >> that's what he's doing right now. this is to change the subject away from paul manafort and omarosa. and this is purely donald trump manipulating the conversation, knowing that he has the ability to do that. and that is what this is geared towards. >> david, but just to that point. you know, we often talk about how the president manages the message and the media circus, et cetera. this is a decision with consequence, right? because, again, there's a reason why the intelligence community draws on former intelligence officials and their experience, and in this case, remember, these are officials who served both democratic and republican administrations. several of them -- multiple democratic and republican administrations. and there's a reason they keep those security clearan

david: that was national intel director dan coats at yesterday's white house news conference.eat of russian meddling in elections. amid new reports of suspected russian spy after he worked as u.s. embassy in moscow more than a decade. we have former cia scott uhlinger. the fact that the russians never stopped spying, never stopped trying to upset our authority in terms of democracy in the united states since the soviet union. we have putin who is former kgb spy. all of our intel sources from coats to pompeo, to john bolton, they all knew that, there was impression media was spinning after helsinki with putin and trump that trump was a puppet in his administration knows exactly what the score is. >> certainly our policies are again directed for russia are much stronger than they were toward the obama period. it was important to have the press conference as a way of resting assured the american people as well as russia to put them under warning, we will not tolerate this. we must differ and defend against this type of message. david: i think the message was more to americans tha

he know pwaoutz white house under siege. dan rather the host of tv's "the big interview. ". >> i'm grateful to be here. >> before we get to the stuff we had ready for you. is this madness? >> well, it is a kind of madness and what goes through my mind with events of the last 24 to 48 hours with cohen and manafort is president abraham lincoln had his team of rivals and trump had his flock of fellows. he had what turned out to be felons. there's never been anything like this in american history. watergate is the closest thing we've had to this. watergate, it consisted of crimes of americans committing crimes against americans at the core of this investigation, is a foreign power trying to effect and possibly effecting our elections. thats rar very big difference. >> i've heard criminal enterprise thrown around a lot. do you think that's befitting? >> i wouldn't use the phrase myself. but lookali look at how many people have been pled guilty or found guilty. and the head winds are against trump. i know his former aid, omarosa, thin

presidential scholar and served in all sorts of white houses would know, there's been nothing like this. >> i would like to hear your thoughts on it. dan tweeted, the question is we enter the next chapter and the fate of this nation lies not in the acts of the president but gop leaders and party faithful who seem determined to explain away criminality for their own cynical grip on power. in watergate, it was republicans who ultimately turned the tide. other than republicans saying things and whispering, you still don't hear an awful lot of folks going on the record, even speaker ryan's response to the michael cohen guilty plea was, oh, well, we need more information. >> ryan is a great example of the most crazy leadership of a political party i think i've ever seen, in all the years i've been covering politics. the fact is two things are going on at once, running on parallel tracks. republicans in washington who have shown no inclination and probably won't show any inclination to have a spine until after the midterm elections. also, we have to look at who trump's constituency is.

. >> the departure of white house counsel dan mcgann was widely expected, though president trump spent a lot of time explaining it on twitter today. and one tweet the president shot down the notion that he was fired. ivanka trump and jared kushner had nothing to do with the so-called pushing out of don mcgann. soon after he seemed to indicate maybe he was pushed out, tweeting "the russia which i did not come into play even a little bit with respect to my decision on don mcgann." whether it was the president's decision or mcgann's decision to part the white house, it was talked about again today. >> had the president resisted one more shot at reports earlier this year, don mcgann talked him out of firing special counsel robert mueller and attorney's obsessions. he tweeted, "i like him but he was not responsible for me not firing bob mueller or jeff sessions. so much fake reporting and fake news." as he president was putting a quota on his departure, talk with swelling at the white house that president trump is preparing to hit china with more tariffs as early as next week. multiple sear

dan coats was never consulted. i mean, play it out. why wouldn't -- obviously, we're not the white house, and we don't know why dan coats wasn't consulted. but wouldn't you assume that the dni would push back? >> if it was genuinely -- listen. if this was genuinely a security issue, which, frankly, let's be frank, does not appear to be -- >> it's not. >> because the one commonality with all these officials named here is that they had -- >> are critical of trump. >> they criticized the president here. now, again, the president has the power to do many things, where he doesn't consult his senior advisers. but if this genuinely was an issue about security, would you expect he would have -- he would have consulted the senior-most intelligence official in the country. just one more point i would make about this. courts may weigh in on this at some point down the road. what is immediate is the loss of experience and counsel from a decision like this. i said to you earlier, brooke, we're looking at more than 100 years experience. i was just doing some back of the envelope math. i way unde

noining me, molly ball, paula reid, abby phillip, white house condent for cnn and dan balz. dan, you wrote that what took place tuesday will ratchet up pressure on the president, embolden his critics and doubt inflame and rally his supporters. in so many ways it feels like we've been here before. a crisis moment. for president trump, candidate trump. what makes this week different? dan: two first on the manafort conviction, what that did, would ha -- the it had nothing to do with donald trump is it strengthened the hand of bob ule around the investigative team. that jury deliberated a long time. and on 10 counts they could not reach a verdict because of onel holdout but the eight quicks were very, very important. it sent a signal that this is a real investigation that has real power. so that's the first thing. the second is,el with mic cohen, to see him make the deal that he did, and to plead to what he pleaded, and ton implicathe president, brings this to the white house in a way that it hadn't been before and as we now know as a result of everything else that's happened th
