michael got this right, the only people chairman nunes has to satisfy is the republican leadership, particularly the speaker and kevin mccarthy. who is a very good friend of devin nunes. they're old friends and the cia director, mike pompeo, is close friends with devin nunes. so operating under the rule that which gets rewarded gets repeated. if the republicans give up one of their chairmans to a partisan attack, they'll just get another target on another back. so trey gowdy was right. there is no like between the house leadership and chairman nunes right now. >> is this a partisan attack on devin nunes? >> gosh, no. it's a bipartisan attack. katie, this is a joke. the house intel committee has ceased to function. why? because of its chairman. this isn't complicated. if a chair nan man of a committ won't tell the members oh of that committee what he knows, he's got to go. i think eventually you're going to see this pressure continue to grow. the intel committee, katie, is not doing its job. it's not functioning right now. and that's all because of devin nunes. >> we have the -- what's going on with the house intel committee.

michael di antonio. his refusal to apologize or admit he was wrong, where do you think that comes from? people have pointed to roy cohen, his attorney, but also has a fascinating background with mccarthy of donald trump's mentors. i knew roy cohen when we worked together on the klaclaus von bu case. he was a man who never apologized. the important thing about roy is he was not an ideological person. what he cared about was personal loyalty, personal success, winning, being on the right side, and never backing down or apologizing. of course he ended his life being disbarred. >> his general kind of strategy was be on the attack. attack, attack, attack. >> always. and it served him very well for most of his career. in the end, when he was dying, if he had been willing to profusely apologize he might not have been disbarred. but i think he wanted to go down without having to change his philosophy and i think that helps understand a little bit president trump. he got to where he is with this philosophy. suck says in business, success in winning the nomination, winning the election. i don't think we're going to see him change much as president. >> michael, do you agree? you wrote about him,
