al quee who later became governor of minnesota, john lindsay who later changed parties and became mayor of new york. it was just a host of people that line the history books that i had the responsibility to answer phones. one time i got a call from maybe more than once, ronald reagan, calling for gerald ford. you know, at the time, it's just part of your job. you don't put it into perspective. but later on it's like, that was pretty cool. you know? >> in the senate, the setup was a little different. we sat on the floor and on either side of the providing officer and our jobs were to fetch water for senators who stood up to speak, attend their other needs. we would run trips from senator's office to senator's office and send out messages from the senate leadership to all of the senators on that side of the aisle. we had to memorize, as frank has alluded to, we had to know the senators by sight. but we considered ourselves fairly busy. but there was plenty of time for pages playing high jinks on each other. and i will cop to falling for being sent to fetch the congressional bill stretcher

she left walk tell lipton and went into government to work for john lindsay. and then she went into politics. she left government to go into politics and she ran i think it was in 1970, yes, it was 1970, yeah for state committee woman. which was sort of a party position. in brooklyn. and she was attacked legally claiming she didn't really live in brooklyn, her parents lived in brooklyn, and she asked he to represent her in that case and i did. and we prevailed. she showed she spent a great deal of time in brooklyn. her parents testified but we won that case in 1970, so she was sort of solidified in politics. i tried it in the brooklyn courts. i was the trial lawyer in that case and then two years later, this is all related actually to watergate and the impeachment obviously in some respect. two years later she decided to run for congress. she ran for congress against a long-term congressman named emmanuel seller who had been in congress for 30 years, 35 years, very powerful figure in brooklyn and in congress. he was the chairman of the house judiciary committe

john mccain, lindsay graham, obviously, there have been democrats, as well. but the large group of people making these accusations are republicans. i know mr. mccain said who benefits the most from it? >> right. if you look at all the leaks, the recent one webs anyway, they tend to portray the president in a resolute, decisive way. they show him being directly involved in some of these counterterrorism successes. the republicans don't have a lot of evidence that it's coming from the white house, although in the case of one of these leaks about an al qaeda operation, it appears that a national security official may have inadvertenty confirmed some of the information. it's mostly a process of deduction that if the leaks benefit the president politically, they might be coming from the white house. there's one other bit of evidence, which is if you think back to the anniversary of the osama bin laden raid, there was a lot of effort by the white house to capitalize that. i don't know if you can say they released specific classified information, but there's no ques

what do you say to john mccain and lindsay graham and now to mitt romney who said arm the rebels andcan't sit back and let this continue. >> i would say reed henry kissinger. my apologies to his last name. both have spoken out and written of late on things such as national interests. balance of power and not acting a great power should act emotionally and some jump in. we condemned it and there is still a lot of diplomacy to be done and the president will meet with president putin of russia. russia has a very, very important role and have influence. it's a member of the security council. it blocked tougher measures at the u.s. and that they would like to take. >> russia is flatly rejecting this and they should involve iran. should iran talk on the table in. >> it's something that i didn't hear come up until today. there was a column in the "washington post" by a columnist indicating that kofi annan put forward this idea and now maybe not so coincidentally the foreign minster is suggesting the same thing. iran, turkey, saudi arabia, the five permanent members of the council and maybe

later this hour, republican senators john mccain and lindsay graham will call for a special prosecute e and this comes after a number of gop lawmakers have gone on record with their concerns over possible political motivations for those leaks. one of those people that has gone on record is missouri senator roy blunt, a member of the select committee on intelligence. and the senator joins us this morning. sir, it's great to have you here. and just to remind everybody about how you have been on the record on this, a refresher for our viewers, because you tweeted on thursday, it's a crime to leak intelligence, and i'm outraged the white house would tolerate this alleged activity that jeopardize attention our national security. and then we had this response from the president on friday when he was asked that question. take a listen. >> the notion that my white house would purposely release classified national security information is offensive. we're dealing with issues that can touch on the safety and security of the american people. our families. or our military personnel. or our allies.

remember lindsay and joe lieberman and john mccain were hanging out together withwing in 2008.re is an m.o. to this. lieberman would use it when he would back into republican arguments with a word of praise but then a little bit of a different take. now, the lindsey m o. is like we have a found an here in fountain hills, arizona. once every 15 minutes, it goes off kind of like a man-made old faithful and you can basically set your watch to what lindsay and others in the senate consider publicity did he have deficiencies to start a different theme at a differently angle. >> that's so interesting. you kill me. you know that? you just kill me. i love having you on. >> i tell the truth. these guys have been friends of mine but i have been there. you have been there. >> i know. >> we are on the side we can tell the truth. >> all right. well, i appreciate you always being on here. it's always fun talking to you, former congressman j.d. hayworth. i enjoy you inside the war room. next, we are going to take a rise of the independent. honestly, just who the are these guys? and later, bre

john corning from texas. he was the harshest but he wasn't the only. the other was lindsay graham who tried to make the case that they believe the leaks of classify information were political and maybe from the white house, which is why he was saying he believes there must be a special council, somebody independent of the obama administration to investigate. listen to what he was talking about with eric holder. >> you're not willing to embrace the idea that the better off for the country if you would pick somebody that we all could buy into from the get-go rather than picking somebody, two people that you say are great, that i don't know anything about. >> reporter: now, what holder's response was i do know them and they're good lawyers. the point that republicans are making though is that they may be fine lawyers, but in this case of one, senator corning pointed out he's contributed to the obama administration and help the president with his vice presidential pick and they believe the appearance of conflict of interest is something eric holder should want to get rid of. de

john mccain is making statements along those lines and lindsay graham and others. what do you say?y that's nonsense. this administration has no interest in leaking classified information. we don't want to see it leaked from capitol hill and we don't want to see it leaked from the administration. it's not helpful. the fact is there are leaks and sometimes we're confronted with those leaks and we're asked about those leaks. that's a different situation, but i wholly discount that. >> you totally reject this notion that there have been these authorized leaks of classified information in order to help bolster the president's chances to make him look strong. >> the intimation is that the story is helpful to the president. >> which story is that? >> that the stories that have been written have been helpful to the president. i'll let other people judge that, but we're not the source of those stories. >> and this notion that john mccain wants a special council like ken starr to come in and start investigating. >> i think nobody benefits from leaks of classified material. it shouldn't happe

congress have been quite vocal about their view, their strong view led by senator john mccain in arizona, of course, and also lindsayatements this past week, bakesically accusing poin blank the white house of making these leaks in order to make president obama look tough. these are leaks pertaining to national security operations that do help president obama's image when it comes to foreign policy. there is no question there has been an advantage to the content of these leaks. however, president obama said on friday, he flatly denied it. he said it is not true. attorney general eric holder announced that he was appointing two u.s. attorneys to lead investigations into this, and so we're going to have to see how it plays out. i think there is going to be some pressure on the administration to ferret this out, although i think the point it's difficult to prosecute is a va sail yent one, and if i'm not mistaken, there have been six investigations into the obama administration and none of them have led to results. >> interesting. aim and amy and patrick, good to see both of you. >> thanks, alex. >>> from there to develo
