kessler says "thehis book, he secret service wanted people back, and the white house wanted more of a friendly atmosphere for the president to walk out." when you got there, what did you see? on that particular controversy, i can't comment, because i don't know anything about it. to step back into another controversy, you alluded to jurisdictional things, answering the secret service agents, when they wereto training, told about the assassination of president kennedy.in the fbi, we heard a lot about that as well. as we know, everybody in this room, to this day, there are all kinds of conspiracy theories and criticisms of the way things were done when president kennedy was shot. it was sort of drilled into us that we don't want this to happen again. i was sure it was something that was really drilled into the secret service. the minute i heard it, and i had about a four minute ride, because i was already headed that direction, on the radio they said the hilton. i called the radio to ask, which hilton? my patient didn't know which hilton, because it literally had just happened. the medi

. >> jenna: joining us now, jim kessler, . it's great to have you both.irst things first, let's talk a little bit about the timeline as a speaker ryan mapped out for our viewers. is that accurate? >> the one thing i'm absolutely sure of is that republicans are going to be sucked into an artificial timeline here. they're going to be laser focused on the policy itself. this is something that so important to the american people, it's vitally important to get it right. setting an artificial timeline sort of jams everything together, trying to get over the finish line. one thing i think is really remarkable about this debate, if you consider the fact that obamacare is literally imploding in front of us, the fact that the architects of obamacare are sitting around admiring their handiwork and not helping out and trying to become a part of this debate and democrats have left republicans alone trying to handle this, i think it's a really cynical political strategy and some of the american people really can't appreciate. >> jenna: do you want to respond to that? i

the paper's fact checker glen kessler tweeting out -- fox news tucker carlson saying this report is justher example of media outlets blinded by their own bias of president trump. >> it was not news coverage, it was political activism committed by news outlets. none of the usual media watchdog types said a word about it then or now, because with trump all bets are off. many journalists believe it is literally impossible to be unfair to work for donald trump. they succumb to trump hatred that is so intense it destroyed their judgment and some cases affected their character. i see it all the time. normal people see the president's sdmraus they exist, they see crimes and conspiracies, the rest of us may complain trump is undisciplined, fair. >> wow, atomic weapons, amazon ceo jeff bezos bought the "washington post" for $250 million in 2013. amazon stock hitting another all-time high today. online retail giant closing up sweetly, less than 1%. $966 a share there. bring in the political power panel, angela and al, good to see you guys. >> hi there. liz: angela, first to you, one thing to be pr

george frum, ron kessler, a long-time investigative journalist, now author and opinion writer.re does this -- where do we stand in the investigation? how should we think about this? >> you should be prepared to accept that even if the most heinous version of the facts proves to be true, there may not be any crimes committed or any laws broken. it is illegal for an american obviously to participate in any kind of hack. it is illegal for an american to entice a foreigner to spend money or substantial resources on a federal political campaign. if those two things haven't happened, anything else that donald trump is thought to have done will probably turn out to be legally permissible. whether you think it's american or democratic, ethical or loyal is a different question. but it would not -- for example, it is not actually a crime for an american to collude with a foreign intelligence service to interfere with an american election, it would not be a violation of federal election laws, if it turns out to be true, it's a political, probably not a legal problem. >> and brent, the pre

one thing that you have to know about the show is that the creators of the show, the kessler brothers and "damages," there's a lot of reveals and a lot of what they do with the editing that makes it interesting to watch. and it's a nonlinear process when they edit it. they mix it up to do the story telling. i never know watching the final season, uh won't know exactly how it came out. and because we -- we do different scenes in different ways, where we rehearse in different ways, we act them out in different ways, we tonight know what take they'll use. the storylines and the story can change and we won't know until we view it. >> you starred on "friday night lig lights" here. >> did that make sense to you? >> you've done network shows and a netflix show for three seasons. as an actor, is the streaming experience different for you, other than the fact it gets released at one time? >> yeah. it's complete different -- having grown up the other way. the first show that my wife and i binged was "24." and she sent me around los angeles going to blockbusters to get the cassettes. it's a comp

one thing you have to know about the show is that the creators of the show, the kessler brothers andis a show if you watch it there are a lot of reveals and there's a lot of what they do with the editing that makes it very interesting to watch and it's a they edit. so i can do a scene in episode one and maybe see part of in the episode four. they mix it up doing the story telling so i never know -- watching the final season, i won't know exactly how it came out. we do different scenes in different ways whether we rehearse them in different ways, we act them out in different ways, we don't know what take they'll use so literally the storylines and story can change and we won't know until we view it. >> you starred -- >> does that make sense to you? >> i'm with you, i'm totally with you. so you've done network shows and you've done this netflix show for three seasons. as an actor, is the streaming experience different other than the fact that it all gets released at one time. >> yeah, yeah. it's a complete different -- having grown up the other way. the first show that my wife and i bi

our old friend, glenn kessler, former state correspondent on the fact check from the washington postt of us should have done. that white house claim that the president's air force one trip was the first flight from riaydh to israel, commercial and military planes don't fly between the two states. if you check back on the schedule of george w. bush, not that long ago, may 16th, 2008, he flew from a meeting with king abdullah, in riyadh and came to israel directly to meet with shimon perez, the prime minister, to address the israeli parliament. facts do matter. and i would suggest -- and the president's set speeches have been really good this trip. really, they have, in riyadh and israel, and one more coming at the cultural museum. when he goes off teleprompter that's when you get into some difficulty. and it's not having any experience with this. secretary of state, by the way, experienced man in the arab world and middle east but acknowledged he had never been to israel until this flight. >> wow! andrea mitchell, thank you v much. >> we'll be getting back to andrea. it is approaching
