i'd say the following. i'm waiting to see most importantly what comes from the house and senate intelligence community investigations and the on going fbi inquiry into potential, the possibility of collusion with russian intelligence with the russian government in the election itself. the hacking and timing of the releasest e-mails to embarrass the clinton campaign. without prejudging what might come out of them although i would say lots of smoke, not much fire, ervverything hinges . that and never has russia policy been so tied to what happens in american domestic politics and what happens in washington. it's impossible to assess what he's doing out therein dependently of what is happening in d.c. if those investigations produce a smoking gun, then everything changes. in other words, it's a series of xan scandals or misdeeds of the stuff we saw after the iraq invasion and the reconstruction and the no bid halliburton contracts and the rest. well that's bad. it wouldn't necessarily tie trump's hands in seek

the question is who from the republicans will follow you go will get -- others need to follow. macron has left open species on his party's candidate list as an incentive. ifwhat will happen now? is -- he's a member of the former presidents party. will he now be following macron's agenda were pursuing the agenda of his own party? >> asked the price for being prime minister, he will have agreed to have followed macron's agenda. his argument would be that so much of that agenda is compatible with more from the republican party. made withtment isn't the current makeup of parliament in mind, but in anticipation of the national assembly that will leave the next modern elections where the republicans have every being the biggest political block outside of macron's party. as your package underlined, this is the first time in the history of the fifth republic that a president has reached across to appointed prime and asked her from the opposition without being forced through losing elections and having to enter cohabitation as we saw under the presidencies -- macron has made this choice

and so, he felt like following protocol was the best thing to do. i'm not aware of that conversation. that the president aware james comey asked for more resources in the rush investigation, and i did that factor into his decision? sec. sanders: that would be a better question for the department of justice. >> to follow up. on the campaign trail, president trump said -- he criticized the department justice for not being -- he praised director comey for to reopen thes investigation. why was he moved by a letter that said director comey was too hars h on hillary sec. huckabee sanders: i think you are looking at two very different positions. the president was wearing a very different hat at that time. the circumstances certainly change when you become the president. then, when you go around chain of command in the department of justice, like i said before you throw a stick of dynamite into the department of justice, that is a big problem. >> we already knew what he had done. ,ec. huckabee sanders: i think my understanding is the first time the director

and he -- so he felt like following pret following protocol was the best thing to do. >> again, she may be right no matter how you would fire someone it would certainly have ramification. but doing it this abruptly, i can tell you it took many people here in the white house offguard. it certainly took many people offguard. and the rank and file of fbi agents, it took them offguard across washington and indeed across the country here. so i think the white house is hoping this press briefing will dispel some of the questions. they had the vice president out earlier. but some central questions about why now? what was the urgency of doing this now, i think still linger here. and again kwaer not expected to hear from the president himself on this the rez of the day. again, brooke, so many questions about the why. >> yep. thank you, jeff zeleny. and to your point about the rank and file of the bury of investigations. i want to you on that. when you hear sarah huckabee saying the doj lost confidence in comey, the president lost confidence in comey, and the rank and file lost confidence in come

if you, don't worry don't follow what he is alluding to. you can usually tap this grain and find out. these observations are not for the heaven born who scanned with eagle glance the fields of battle with thousands of 10 thousands, in who armies whole disappeared. it is hoped they could prove useful to the young adopting the profession of arms to be sure the details of the art of war are in scope for employment of all their faculties. conscientious study will perhaps not make them great, but it will make them respectable, and when leadershipibility of comes they will not disgrace their flag or murder their men. the reader has to fight through a thicket of allusions to homer the king james version, paradise lost, and a letter of horse walpole. this book is intended to be useful. to the young adopting the professor of arms -- profession of arms. extravagant as this makes out, taylor was not the only civil war officer whose gift allowed him to read his way from private citizenship to the past that led the high command. chamberlain did so, too
