demanding an investigation into president trump's team and their contacts with russia. we want to know, by what authority did general flynn have these conversations and who did he report to after that? it's a story that points to confusion at the top. on flynn, the white house advisor kellyanne conway gave us one story, the press secretary another. so who really does speak for the president? and the israeli prime minister arriving in washington to start a new relationship with the white house. iran, hezbollah, syria and settlements. there is plenty to discuss. this story begins at the end of december. president obama had just imposed new sanctions on russia in retaliation for moscow hacking the election. donald trump's senior foreign policy advisor, general mike flynn, hopped on the phone with russia's ambassador to discuss the penalty. now us law bars any private citizen from conducting foreign policy. but the greater mistake was to mislead the vice president. the national security advisor told mike pence that sanctions never came up in his calls with the russian ambassador. not true.

the united states. is this a political masterstroke however, saying to trump supporters, you wanted something done about islamic terrorism, well, here is something? or is it — as domestic and international critics believe — shambolic and counter productive? i would suggest it i would suggest re i would suggest it if: to his _ f for i would suggest it if: to his !think for ffofsé 47; elf: g; fizz“ ffofsé 442 2122: 2:2 222“ in the ffofsé 2l2'2 222: 222 222“ in the first ffofsé 2l2'2 222: 2222 222“ in the first l days of the see in the first 15 days of the trump administration, is what you see is what you got. there are no better angels here, the trump we saw in the campaign, a businessman, who was a tv celebrity is the trump in the white house, he is impull si, he isa the white house, he is impull si, he is a bully and he will have his own way, until he pushes it too far. it is just not clear where this takes us, ithink is just not clear where this takes us, i think it is very easy, if you are notan us, i think it is very easy, if you are not an ardent trumpite to thi

are now? well, i think, what happened this week is reflective of the fact that trump week is reflective of the fact that tru m p clearly week is reflective of the fact that trump clearly has a hazy view of the constitution, and separation of powers, and the checks and balances that are the hallmark of the us critical system. the appeals court judges sent a strong message to him saying, you cannot invoke national security concerns, do what everyone. are these teething problems? to some extent, there is some of that going on. remember when he issued the executive order on immigration, he did not have key appointments in place, and the fact that he has now said that he is considering rewriting the order and making it more narrow, that reflects the fact that would suggest to me thatjeff sessions has told him, this is too risky, perhaps you need to dial it back, if you really want to make sure to not lose this. but i think that the hallmarks of the trump presidency seem pretty clear, people who think that he is going to pivot and become more presidential in his style a nd and beco
