dana. >> dana: i think i recommended this a couple months ago.ave somebody come at the point person that answers questions about russian investigations and special counsel because it allows them and freeze them up to be able to talk about jobs, economy, health care bill, foreign policy. interestingly, when bill clinton did it he had lanny davis. one of the d.c. insider type lawyers. and also knew all of the press. they all live together in northwest d.c. i actually think it's a little easier for the clintons then it's going to be for president trump. >> richard: i agree with you. i think you should have done this a long time ago. a smart move the president. what you do is create two tracks. an agenda track, what's happening, what you need to move. on the other track, dealing with all the scandal stuff. what do you think about it, gre greg? >> greg: he's dealing with a media and a party working together -- that married couple that lives above you that's always arguing really loudly. it sounds crazy and scary but they are still together. >> kimberl

dana, the floor is yours here. what you've learned. >> well, we've learned that then fbi director james comey knew that a critical piece of russian information related to the hillary clinton e-mail investigation was fake but he felt that he needed to take action any way because he was concerned that the information would undermine the investigation and the justice department itself. this is according to multiple sources. now, these concerns were a major factor in comey deciding to publicly declare that the clinton probe was over last summer without consulting then attorney general loretta lynch. you may remember earlier this week "the washington post" reported on this intelligence and the doubts about its credibility. the fact that comey felt he had to act based on russian disinformation, brooke, is how decision making was impacted at the

so this kind of thing drops as dana reports. then all of a sudden the fbi is in a position, wait, you're not prosecuting and you have all this information even though it's fake information? comey at all point is reaching a conclusion which is nobody would bring any criminal charges to hillary clinton or people around her. this does not rise to that level. but he's trying to control the politics because he has fbi a l agents who work for him. he's got conservatives on the hill who want to see her prosecuted. who go back to the petraeus case on his handling the information because it was intentional and think that there was unfairness here. he's trying to manage all of this and realizes ultimately that he can't by coming out publicly and saying that nobody would have ever charged her but at the same time she was reckless. this thing was just too big to contain and it shows just how successful the russians were at pushing on open doors of cynicism and disbelief among americans about hillary clinton, our institutions and our elector

have senior political report nia-malika henderson and gloria borger here with me in washington and danagot the full team. gloria, i'll start with you. why this continued loyalty from the president to general flynn despite many missteps on his part? >> well, currently of course general flynn is an orphan with no parents. with people from inside the administration. now. but if you look back at the situation during the transition, i was just talking to somebody who explained it to me this way. a source familiar. was that general flynn was the first one with brass on his shoulders to come out and endorse donald trump. they had the same attitude towards isis, which was we're just going to get out there, we're going to kill it. the same disdain for the kind of intelligence that the united states was gathering on isis. and he loved traveling with flynn. remember flynn used to appear with him at rallies. >> very vocally, lock her up. >> right. so even after a lot of people inside the original transition said to donald trump, you know, you have to be a little careful about this guy, donald trump
