nderstand president trumpling to ushe's unique and different from his predecessors. onread the art of the deal back ong flight from new zealand. if you subtrac of weekf th le of a realste br n york t are a number of precept really i think that strike home and to cite six of them, which kind of shows at this point it's lessim expert than to be a trump expert in trying to predict whatl do. you know,harud is i make deals, i do it to do it, it's my art form. so, this quest for doing deals, being better tha the predecessors, another one is listen to your gut. i dra owy conclusions, learn not to be overly impressed by academic credentials. you think back, even during the campaign of you know, i know re about afghanistan than four star generals and then i think sort of this, when people are worried that he's not listening to enough north korea expertsreading big briefing book, i think it's sort of, he goes with the gut, he goes with his instinct. another one is think big, if you're thinking y mig as ll thi big, ias out to build something monumental, if you're making a deal

and that's really a remarkable set up, and been it works because of an nderstanding and appreciation of, frankly, the people involved. legislation is critical. we often at cigy, as we sit together, point to the guides what nd it we do because we're rule based, it based, fact based, but also requires people to act in good faith with one another as doing that work. that's true for the leadership it's also cies and equally true with our relationships with congress. ranking members, members of committees, understand where we sit, where our responsibilities are under the act and what role we play and what role we importantly don't play. that system is very important. we're not policymakers. no role ranking members, members of committees, understand where we sit, where our responsibilities are under the act and what role we in dec policy. matter to us and it shouldn't matter to us whether if policy is a or b, even they are completely at opposite ends of the spectrum. what matters to us is if those programs are run effect actively, is there fraud, abuse or misconduct, that's what we're one

cts up against other nderstand foreign policy issues. i think that also gets to that point that you were making, shamila, about the short-term/long-term tradeoff. that's something that the obama administration faced, a problem the bush administration faced and a problem that the clinton administration faced and bush sr. face and every administration faces. the obama administration -- and i think even the bush administration to a degree -- wrestled with those issues and i think, luke, you're right when you point to the spending on military and everything else, sometimes maybe they didn't wrestle with them to the degree to which some of us might have liked, maybe if they had a better sense of what they were going to get out of partnersh they would have known where they could drive a harder bargain and be more long-term focused. i think the danger with the trump administration is not that they're confronting the same challenges in terms of diplomacy and its importance or in terms of long-term/short-term, it's i don't see them wrestling with

do i want to say, congressman, i think it's important for you to nderstand, i completely understand the president's fle ration with what's re reflected in this report. understand his frustration. my commitment is to make sure in ything that we do is accordance with the law and on my watch.ias >> thank you, mr. chair. et me start by saying it is ridiculous and stupid we're having an emergency hearing into hillary igation of rodham clinton's emails in 2016. 2018, and une thousands of kids have been ipped away from their parents by the trump administration's child separation policy. reunited not yet been and the kids, not knowing if they are ever going to see their where they are, s a trauma and horror we can only imagine. but since republicans control at least try to have this hearing be based on fact cts and the central from this i.g. information is reviews ersonal affected the integrity of the investigation, so director wray, i'm going to read to you some of the findings from this if you ation, and ask agree. it was found, our review did not find evidence connecting the views expressed
