>> he said he didn't speak to anybody about it. >> then it must be true. >> no -- mika, mika, mika. > is in the newspaper for three days beforehand that the fbi has leaked that she's not going to be indicted. you don't think the timing of the press conference isn't leaked, as well? if they're leaking, she's not going to be indicted. the fbi was leaking. oh, she's not going to be indicted. people close to the investigation said she's not going to be indicted. you don't think barack obama knew he was going yesterday? >> i don't know if barack obama knew. nobody seemed to think that comey was coming out on tuesday morning. >> what are you telling me? >> i'm trying to separate mistakes that clintons made and there were many. maybe they haven't yet, maybe they will. from the fact that all of you guys or several of you, anyway, are questioning the integrity of james comey who until this moment. >> joe is certainly questioning. mika, please, let me repeat again for the 15th time. i'm not questioning his integrity, i'm questioning his courage. he just didn't want to take down -- it's kind of

confirmed with multiple law enforcement sources that the identity of the shooter, the sniper in dallas, is mika's from mesquite texas. law enforcement officials who we are talking to say they found that he has got no previous criminal record, no, he was not on the radar for the fbi or any other agency for extremist ties, no ties to isis or any other groups like that. so really the first time they've heard of this guy it appears is when he started shooting police officers last night in dallas and then had that standoff at the garage at the community college there in downtown dallas. that's the first time they've encountered him. again, the identity is micah exav yar johnson, 25 years old, from mesquite, texas, is the identity of this sniper who killed all these officers in dallas, wolf. >> i assume they're going through his social media, his laptop, his mobile device, they're trying to find out who he was in contact with to see if there was, in fact, anyone else who may have been involved, right? >> that's right, that's right, wolf, that's one of the things they're doing right now. they're also

but, mika, you said it is interesting who is not on the list.ng about all morning, the vp stakes. not indiana governor mike pence. what does this mean if you're reading the tea leaves. pence is maybe taking that vice presidential speaking spot thursday night or he's just not on the list because he hasn't been asked yet. there could still be some adds here. maybe bringing on board for the convention and he's not on the list either. bottom line, trump promised this show biz feel. you look at the names, not necessarily a big, glam, packed hollywood list of who's who, but you do have a lot of washington folks coming, as well. paul ryan, mitch mcconnell and formal rivals like ben carson, ted cruz, known about governor scott walker and, again, the people not coming. all those names you know about. the bush family. it will be an interesting week and we'll see how it all shakes out. i can't wait until you guys get here. >> what night does colin powell deliver his address -- >> say that again? >> what does colin powell come out on u.s. foreign policy? >>

spent when you say that on msnbc, you were on with mika and joe and she was worried about the fact is that been able to pull into celebrities to the convention. is she just competition that did or did it look at you like from mars? >> oaks generally think of the march anyways i'm used to that part. if not even a question test at the question of connecting the dots. can we get caught up with the idea of donald trump just doesn't care? can we get comfortable? when you get comfortable with a space then you can begin to move into some of the other spaces in need to move into understand what this election is. will have all the celebrities go all this. who does he really want out in front of america this week? does he want big hollywood stars and big music as? not that he wants his children and his wife. this is about branding, identity identification politics. in other words, we want to reinforce the identification you meet with us a will give you the narrative to go along with a lot of the flash that you have seen. so we doesn't really, he is not faced by the. it is get into one is upset
