whitehouse: ok. so walk me through, in the light of your testimony that there are protesters and there are rioters. there is peaceful protesting and there is violence and terrorism. and that the federal officers you supervised were trained in the conduct of appropriate tactics and procedures. you and i have both seen the footage, i assume you've seen it a good deal more than i have, given your professional responsibilities, of a tall individual wearing a gray navy or maybe naval academy sweat shirt who is in the clip that i've seen standing relatively immobile. his hands are down by his sides. he's not in an aggressive or combative stance. and he is one. and around him are perhaps half a dozen, maybe more, off the screen -- more off the screen, officers in essentially combat gear. and one of them engages in a strike with his baton and if my recollection of the film is correct, a second strike and then a third. and the individual who is being struck does not react and yet the strikes keep coming. walk

senator whitehouse. mr. whitehouse: thank you, chairman. mr. cuccinelli, you indicated that there is no sort of after-action report for criminals who engage in violence. i think actually there is and it's what ms. cox does. and i wish both of you well in bringing to justice people who have done harm to law enforcement officers. with respect to lasers, i actually am the person who wrote and passed a law to protect pilots from the dangers of laser attacks from the ground, which had begun to pop up as a strange thing to want to do. but there it is. i think you both agree that we do hold our law enforcement personnel to a far higher standard than we expect the general public to adhere to. is that correct? mr. cuccinelli: certainly is a professional matter, yes. ms. cox: yes, it is. mr. whitehouse: and very often , law enforcement personnel are engaging with people during what they would probably look back on and see as one of the worst times of their lives, when they are upset when they are , emotional, when they are perhaps intoxicated. and so the

fbi found out, as sally said she couldn't explain how they found out exactly, but i think senator whitehouse certainly talked about whether it was a wiretap, but they found out that michael flynn was basically telling the russians that even though you hacked in to the election, and even though the obama administration wants to sanction you, when i'm in the white house with the president, things are going to be different. and that was deeply concerning to the fbi because they knew about flynn's contacts with the russians. they knew the history of what the russians had done over the last several months, and that concerned them. and so of course somebody told the president of the united states that. it was clear that it wasn't sally because she didn't know before that meeting that they intercepted those conversations. she was scheduled to find out that afternoon. but the president clearly knew, and the president probably found out not necessarily from jim comey but because he gets a daily intelligence briefing. this was of huge significance to the white house that his sanctions against the russ

to start their area i think that's a fascinating way of looking and framing what goes on in the whitehouse . relatedly you mentioned evan and novak. many of us are old enough to remember those amazing columns and we waited for what they were going to say next. but what you think about the role of leaking and leaders in the public policy process. do they do something that's important for outcomes? or are they just a nuisance and do they corrupt and corrode and destroy the democratic process. those are two big areas i'd like to have aconversation about . >> thank you for your scholarship which i'veenjoyed over the years . you correctly note i have three letters in the book that presidents have in their purview. one is ideological comity, if you have a team that gets along ideologically you're going to see less fighting because we agree in an ideological way. number two is process, if you have a process whereby people get their voices heard even if they don't win at the end of the day they had a fair process there are more likely to lock arms at the end of the discussion and say the president
