that reporting points out that vice president dick cheney frequented cia headquarters in the lead-upar, in part so he could grill analysts directly about the faulty intelligence in that lead-up to that war. does that -- that scenario, this idea that bolton and other top trump officials are going to the cia to do some of this planning that they're doing, does that -- does that unnerve you at all? >> it does. i think it does have these dark echos of kind of the machinations that dick cheney was involved in to manipulate intelligence prior to the 2003 iraq war. it's conceivable that bolton and others went to cia with the goal of trying to gin up intelligence to justify bolton's threat about a week ago to unleash unrelenting force against iran if they attacked u.s. interests in the region. it's also possible, however, that the conversation was about covert action to undermine iran. i think you can see the cia meeting potentially in the same vain as the pentagon meeting that you talked about just a few minutes ago, of the administration exploring options both covert and overt, to take on

"this is a problem. a decent man does not mislead a country into a misguided work that kills thousands of american gis and leads to the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians." this isn't the first time joe biden has been criticized by liberals for praising a republican vice president paid back in february, you may recall, biden called mike pence a "decent guy." he was later forced to walk that back a bit. i don't know how you walk back a decent guy. >> ed: but also we've heard so much about joe biden being the adult in the room in the primaries, may be so paid he will say we need to elevate the conversation. he does like the president's tweets, all of this. this. all of a sudden he comes out and try to have a civilized conversation and the left freaks out. it makes you wonder whether the left wants to have a civilized conversation or if they just want to savage donald trump. >> melissa: i

bush basically subcontracted his mideast foreign policy out to dick cheney i mean cheney would stop by the oval office and he was about to give a speech basically sort of laying out why the u.s. was going to go to war against iraq and bush would look up according to the reports and say oh you're going to be really tough right and cheney would say yeah i'm going to be really tough another words george w. bush had a hands off approach just basically subcontract in his foreign policy out to these neo cons donald trump has done the same thing perhaps he i mean there's a lot of issues that are underway right now trump seems to be focused on the the struggle against china again he's getting a lot of support from the democratic party adam schiff today came out saying that it was very welcome what donald trump was doing about weiwei so he could he get over the democrats by being hard line on a number of these issues say to bolton pompei oh yeah go for it just don't start a war but again that's a very dangerous assumption in the course of this unlike pompei oh and the israelis would be very hap

bolton seems to share the world view of dick cheney who after 9/11 spoke openly about the need to work the dark side and use any means at our disposable basically to achieve our objectives. there are some in the foreign policy establishment who believe that russia poses a grave threat to america. others worry about a rising china or an ideological iran. for bolton, it's all of the above and more. he has at various points warned darkly about the mortal threat to the united states by cuba, libya, syria and, of course, iraq. a long-time fan of regime change he named cuba, venezuela and ni nicaragua a corner of terror. it seems he wants them to fall, though, not to usher in an era of democracy but because they resist american power and influence. the monroe doctrine is alive and well, bolton said to "the new yorker's" dexter filkins. it's our hemisphere. this results in a cultural chauf nichl that can morph into racism. the bolton world view is profoundly inaccurate. the world is not nasty, brudish and short. life has improved immeasurably over the last 100 years. political violence, death

and then there was scooter libby, the scooter libby pardon, former vice president dick cheney's chiefstaff, who was convicted of perjury and obstruction in 2017. libby was prosecuted for lying the fbi and obstruction of justice in an investigation. the kicker, the man who authorized the special counsel in the case was none other than james comey. and the news of trump's pardon of libby came the day after explosive excerpts from comey's tell-all book surfaced in media reports. this is one heck of a coincidence. now, of course, he has made other pardons, perhaps most notably alice johnson, whose case was pushed by kim kardashian during an oval office visit, and it was the right thing to do. but president trump is not the first president to have issued questionable pardons to allies. president h.w. bush pardoned six reagan administration officials related to iran-contra. and president bill clinton pardoned international fugitive marc rich, who was married to a clinton fund-raiser. it seems clinton and bush knew those pardons would be scandalous. they were issued during the final days of

security advisor, steve hadley and i, would always slipped out before dessert, and we would leave dick cheney to make small talk with the cabinets. this is where the plan almost failed. we needed to keep everybody there at dinner, while the rest of us scooted out on golf carts and went to the helipad and got onto a helicopter that had no lights. and took off from camp david. as i was leaving, i vaguely remembered the vice president saying, anybody read any good books? [laughter] i was really worried that somebody was going to spot us and blow our cover. we had not told the cabinet about it. we could not tell anybody. word spreads pretty fast. we flew from camp david by helicopter to andrews air force base, where the dark helicopter drove into a hangar, in which air force one was being kept. it was inside a hangar. we boarded the plane, then air force one took off from andrews, late at night, without any lights. we flew that eight or 10 hours to baghdad and landed there. just as we were landing, the iraqi prime minister was informed that they would be a videoconference, but president bush woul

and he decides on a fellow by the name of the dick cheney. who was then the new minority whip in the house of representatives. created ahat, it vacancy in the position of whip. this is the middle of the terms of the time. this is unusual. it is not at the end but in the middle come early metal, spring of 1989. there are two candidates who had this andrther stayed through the entire race. one is ed madigan. had a legislative background, a ranking member on agriculture, a former chair of the republican research committee. he had a reputation as a legislator, someone who worked had a legislative background, a ranking member on tried to ach legislative goals, political goals. tried to accomplish legislative goals, political goals. he was an ally of a fellow illinois republican, the leader of the republican party, bob michael. those are presumably good strengths is to bring to the table when you're running for a leadership position. the other person running is this fellow named newt gingrich. at this point, newt gingrich was known for a few things

scooter libby, former chief of staff to dick cheney and the conservative author and the hammonds, father family, a lands right dispute in oregon and these are people who in one way, shape or form became figure heads or what they describe liberal prosecution of the judicial system and unfairly prosecuted due to a judicial system bent against their beliefs so all of them pardon. so it clearly fall news a set of patterns here. friends, military, celebrity, or major sort of betting in the war conservative movement of liberal injustice with these four. if you are fitting into one of those categories, honestly you have a decent chance because donald trump has shown a willingness to offer presidential pardons and something he can do by simply a -- a signature. doesn't need congress or anything in the administration. signature and you are done for. >> speak and write glowingly and celebrity it is the pattern indeed. chris cillizza, thank you very much. >>> speaking of the president, he's expected to walk into the rose garden any moment now. live pictures there. the white house will unveil the im

it takes me back to when donald rumsfeld under dick cheney's tutelage authorized the armed forces tongage in, along with the cia, torture. we got the photographs. this is like reaching into that prison where horrible things happened and grabbing the worst offenders and saying i think i'll pardon you. not only that, it's also interfering with the system, the legal system. but for the president to say these things before a trial actually occurs. but it's very disturbing of good order and discipline in the military. it is the most heinous thing a president could do with respect to the uniform code of military justice, the legal system within the military, and with respect to that good order and discipline in the military. there will be people who will hate donald trump for doing this and they'll be wearing uniforms. >> on that last point, i think he views in his mind his mental model of this that he'll be greeted as a liberator, to use a phrase. obviously the u.s. military will love this and the pentagon will love this. my sense of what i know and the reporting i've ever done at the pen

who, you know, sad to say, again, he thinks he pushed -- he was one of the architects along with dick cheneyr in iraq. i believe, if you speak to him today, he will tell you that was the right decision. and that has been his history. this is, i hesitate to use the word, a guy who likes war and apparently hasn't learned the lessons he should have learned. >> if you can, senator, i would ask you to stick around, i need to take a quick break, but i want to ask you about the trade war and where you see it heading. we'll be right back. on a john deere x300 series mower. because seasons change but true character doesn't. wow, you've outdone yourself this time. hey, what're neighbors for? it's beautiful. run with us. search "john deere x300" for more. etsy is the place to the things we hold on to. sold by real people and made for all of life's moments. our belongings don't just show what we care about. they show who we are. shop etsy.com if you have moderate to little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. wi

joe biden for saying something nice about mike pence, for saying something nice for once about dick cheney. it's so tribal now in both parties that i don't know if his own party is really interested in that kind of message. we'll have to see. >> what do you think, keith? did he thread that needle of firing up the passion in people, in the democratic base at the same time? presenting himself as a healer and a unifier? >> he gave a very strong speech. i think it was a traditional democratic speech. you can imagine a democrat in 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999, 2009 -- >> he's showing his age, you're saying. >> i'm not saying that. this is the speech democrats have been giving for 50 years. >> yeah. >> the question is we are in 2019, and is this the speech that democrats want right now? >> right. >> i don't entirely agree with s.e. that democrats want somebody who is angry at republicans, but i think democrats want somebody who recognizes that republicans haven't been willing to work with democrats over the past several years. so i think they want somebody who is realistic about what they are facing a

and of course take particular issue being an iraq war veteran and seeing the debacle started by dick cheneynd president bush. the question that should be asked outside, what normal questions, number one, where's our authority to actually go war in iran? nothing in the authorized use of military force for that. two, what are the consequences? the trigger points? what is the motivation for iran? actually to be, to start any type of engagements? and also, what is actually happening? is this iran escalating, because they feel that we are escalating or provocative moves on their part? >> sir, without getting into specifics, sorry for disrupting. where did you hear that might give us a sense of the concern level right now? that seems to be at odds. >> so what i heard and what i interpreted was that this administration is looking for reasons to be scared of iran, and is trying to draw a lot of connections to iran, and create a situation that would probably trigger us into a war. and i think every member of congress needs to be skeptical of what's going on, and the information that's coming out, fr

now bush has to find someone else and he decides on a fellow by the name of dick cheney who was then the new minority whip in the house of representatives. it created a vacancy in the position of whip. this is the middle of a term. guess.iddle, i spring. further -- in who the ring. a legislative background. he was a former chair of the republican research committee. he had a reputation as a legislator, someone who worked with others, tried to a compass legislative goals and political goals and he was a close ally of a fellow illinois republican, bobleader of the party -- michael. those are good strengths to bring to the table when you're running for a leadership position. the other person running is the fellow by the name of newt gingrich. at this point in his career, he was known for a few things. a grouphe cofounder of called the conservative opportunity society, which was formed after the 1982 elections that could beues communicated to the public to emphasize the difference between the two parties and hopefully embarrass democrats into voting for things that were popular with vote

. >> and we know that obviously under dick cheney and george w. bush, valerie plame was outed, they outed a cia set when they thought it was good politics for them. what traditionally has reined in a president's desire to take this immense power and use the cia or the fbi or the justice department simply to persecute their political enemies? what reins them in, typically? >> most presidents have a sense of restraint. they know they shouldn't abuse power as president of the united states. and the other thing is fear of getting caught. since watergate, 1974, presidents have been very nervous they might be caught doing some of the things that nixon did that led to three counts of impeachment that were suggested against him. one of them was abuse of power. and joy, what's a better definition of abuse of power than going to all these intelligence agencies and getting damaging information they might have on yourself as president and also possibly on your political enemies. >> fear of getting caught. but there has to be consequences when your caught, aye

you have -- back then we had dick cheney and john bolton pushing george w.h, a president who had no idea what fighting on the ground, what combat is actually like, into a disastrous war in iraq. today, we have john bolton back in that same role, pushing donald trump, a president who dodged the draft, who lied about his feet to get out of serving in combat himself, into a war with an even more dangerous adversary. we're talking about the same number of troops, the same people in congress who are saying that this will be easy, this will be quick.and we're ev the same authorization for the use of military force that was fashioned back in 9/11 and used to get us into iraq. literally, that authorization from congress is older than the troops that trump will be sending to fight and potentially die. >> you are on the armed services committee. have you been briefed at this point or have your colleagues been briefed on what's going on here, on this reported plan that the defense department has given the white house, has given the white house a plan about -- that woul

colleagues and told reporters as well that she now understands why her father, former vice president dick cheneyhis institution, the u.s. house in such high regard and there's also intent watch she wants to do in the future. speakership is out there, and if she decides to run for the senate, the expectation is she would win and the expectation is the field that's prosen than would be a bigger platform for the issue she wants most and it would be a big platform if she wants to run in a national election, like say for president which a lot of people have been talking about up here had. the decision is hers. the field is frozen. i'm told there's no decision that's imminent at this point in time. part is the practical. if she runs for senate, she has to give up her leadership position, particularly in the rhetorical battle she's had with the democrats over the last couple of months. >> trademark mattingly subtle there. national election say for president down the road. interesting choice, fascinating choice. she'll get some advice from her father, that you can be sure of. don't go anywhere. busy new
