secretary of state mike pompeii or' with his frustrations. >> i don't talk about things like this very often. it's only the occasion when there is something that puts people at risk or the reporting is so egregious that it ebb comment in the way i just did. trish: there is no desire to have any responsibility any more? you are so anxious to prove this president wrong and pin something on him that you are going to risk the security of this individual? frankly, security of a lot more individual, anyone that would have had any kind of relationship with this individual in question. joining me to unpack all of this. covert operations officer, former cia, mike baker. good to see you again, mike. >> thank you, thank you. trish: we had a source in russia, very close to vladimir putin, had been cultivated over a number of years. and now that source i would think that asset which had to be extracted is now pretty much in danger. i think it media holds some responsibility in all of this. what's your take on it. >> i think absolutely they hold responsibility. i don't think they would care. but whe

one of the president's allies, saying, for one, it will have to be someone who is close with mike pompeii y pompeo, who has an increasing role. left the white house after bolton took the role, rick waddell. brian hook on the screen, the u.s. special representative for iran. he has one of those critical qualifications, which is that he's particularly close to pompeo. keith kellogg, the national security adviser right now to the white house, mike pence. he was the acting national security adviser for i think just seven days after mike flynn was ousted early in the president's term. tom bossert, former national security adviser for president trump. we reached out to him. he declined to comment. he stepped down at the same john bolton was appointed. those are the key names we'll be focusing on moving forward, but donald trump's the one who's sort of driving this train. >> those are the who. how about what are they going to do? ben, we know bolton opposed the negotiations with iran and the taliban. with bolton out, does it mean we're closer now to those things happening? >> well, absolutely. a
