not images specific to the chemical attack in britain let's break this down a little bit more so gina haskell the cia director shows donald trump images of the impact of nerve agents here is what the original article said ms haskell showed pictures of the british government had supplied her of young children hospitalized after being sickened by the nova choked nerve agent that poisoned the script poles she then showed a photograph of ducks that british officials said were inadvertently killed by the sloppy work of the russian operatives so donald trump sees these images of sick kids and dead ducks and he is furious with russia now back then that made sense after all u.k. media was reporting that 3 children had gone to the hospital after receiving bread from the screen palls and feeding it to ducks however this story fell apart the next day the children were fine they were not affected in any way and furthermore no ducks were harmed either there were no other casualties other than those previously stated no wildlife were impacted by the incident and no children were exposed to or became ill as

i think through this all, the intel community and intel leaders and gina haskell and others have been very good about speaking truth to power. they tell us the plain scoop and i think they share that with the administration also. the problem isn't with the intelligence or how it's being represented by the intelligence agencies. although there have been several occasions where the administration has been misrepresenting things about a whole host of issues. but the problem is that unable to certify that iran was falling out of compliance, the president ultimately decided we're going to leave anyway. renege on the truth. of course, this also meant that we were the ones reneging on the agreement, not iran. it meant that in future, other world powers were going to have to consider whether america keeps its word anymore or whether a treaty was only as good as the life of that administration. that's really not how we've viewed treaties, this a treaty dies when you change presidents. but not -- we have sought to get europe to leave the agreement. not consent with trying to get europe to leave

we know secretary of state pompeo is and gina haskell at the cia was arguing this matter.e past hour, the president has nominated the secretary of the army to be the secretary of defense. how do you see this process going? >> it is tragic it has taken six months for the president to put this name forward. we are all bewildered as to why it took so long to put shanahan forward. esper has more practical experience. i will be have willing to take a look at his nomination. i'm glad the president has put it quickly before the congress. his twitter feed today exposed to the especially tire world how absolutely out of control the decision making process is inside the white house. a new secretary of defense is not going to change that reality. the press does not consider facts. he makes it up as he goes along. this campaign of mindless escalation with no end game behind it. i'm not sure the new secretary of defense is going to cure those ails. >> still ahead, the new democratic plan forgetting the most out of nonanswers this week from a former white house staffer. stay with us. th

otherwise you do what you are should be doing anyway which is getting gina haskell, apolitical senior officials and top military brass over to europe, the arabian gulf, to japan and asia to get them participating in something like a naval escort, getting their ships involved so it is a true international response that isolates the iranian's and lets them know they are not going to be allowed to get away with this kind of activity that threatens the oil of the entire world, that fueled the entire community with impunity. eric: the international community is speaking against this as well as arab sunni allies. do you think the coalition should include the uae and other states in the region to send tehran a lasting message? >> everybody has to be involved. olive out of asian allies, the chinese have a huge stake in keeping the strait of hormuz open, keeping a lid on the price of oil, they need to have skin in the game if they don't want to see a catastrophic war that will send the price of oil through the roof. we have to make it absolutely clear to the muellers that they are not going to

according to the times, cia director gina haskell is instructing her agency to fully cooperate and they will. from the dirty dossier to the ramp at that spying against trump associates and the leaking of sensitive material to rig an election, the single biggest abuse of power scandal in american history, the truth is now being covered. the boomerang of all boomerangs of justice is in full swing and high-ranking former bureaucrats, they are in deep trouble tonigh tonight. there's no stopping this train. democrats and their friends in the media are still fixated on one issue and one only -- raged psychosis against the president. as we speak, once again apoplectic. this is the most amazing set up you will ever seek him a brand-new interview clip between the president and abcs george stephanopoulos, take a look. >> russia, china, if someone else offers information, should they accept it or call the fbi? >> i think they do both, you might want to listen, there's nothing wrong with listening. if somebody called from a country -- norway -- we have information on your opponent, i think i would

kelly sadler, she was the without special assistant who one year ago during a zigs discussion of gina haskellthe white house never confirmed -- condemned sadler's remark. even though she was eventually forced out, it was for a different reason entirely. sadler has since taken on a role handling communications force pro trump super pac. for the record, how is it, i, this, it's remarkable to me just how much this president harbor antipathy towards mccain. it was first pointed out for his father and grandfather and then for him. his entire family have been storied public servants. >> and the late senator's son is serving in the military. >> just came back from afghanistan. >> something president trump has not done because of the deferments he sought and received in the vietnam war. it's remarkable that trump's insensitivitys and insecurities about john mccain were known so deep inside the white house, people knew he would want that name obscured from the ship. he couldn't bring himself to give a speech or a photo op with something saying mccain nearby, they would go out of their way to try to re

haskell in there. no, i don't. even gina haspel, as qualified as most people thought she would become i ran into trouble and got roughly one third negative votes. she got 34, if i recall correctly, which is lightly over one third. what this says is if a president nominates someone for office, sometimes that does not prove to be sufficient backing, that the political winds become too strong and the nomination has to be pulled for various reasons. up here, if --ng of finishing up here, if you want to learn more about the directors and their relationships with presidents -- i didn't get to put together a reading list, so i will pitch a few titles at you. over the years, the agency has had a fairly robust program to document the histories of our various directors. i did the mccone book, but we had others done on helms and kobe. the kca a study on years, but i doubt it will ever be declassified, regrettably because it is a fascinating work. they are available on the cia public website, cia.gov, if you want to read more about them
