it was about politics for john tester. donald trump understands up a cnn, and you go crazy saying i know things, have not learned yet that the president knows that you make a critique as well as anybody? if you say something and do not back them up that is a problem. >> naming sources can always be a good thing so charlie hurt was on the shows moniesof the president put a bull's-eye on john tester . >> you could not ask for a more sterling career and then suddenly, he meets political washington and the media in washington and he gets thoroughly slimed. what john tester did was he just went straight to the media and just dumped the whole garbage can of dirt on this guy without doing any sort of investigation we donald trump but a bull's-eye on him and he is going after him. >> and well deserved! because there were options to could have gone back to the white house and said i have concerns about ronny jackson. can you please look into this before you put him up for hearing? he did not do that. he went to the media and said h

john radcliffe was making a pretty good point, wasn't he? >> he also has a lot more information than i do.ot i wasn't in that hearing and i certainly don't know how the f.b.i. would conduct its investigations or make a decision to either charge or not to charge. that is subject of investigation going forward. certainly the subject of the inspectorr general's report whih as i said earlier hasn't been fully released. it's supposed to be coming out very soon. and the hearings were conducted. if there's additional information that needs to or somebody made available, fine. continue -- or should be made available, fine, continue. oversights are very important. i want to make one comment about oversights. it should never be a partisan operation. it should be a bipartisan operation. go to the facts and try at every point to avoid partisanship. unfortunately, that's not been the case -- >> jason:rt let me go to john radcliffe here and get your take on it. it's been a long time since you questioned director comey. what -- you've learned and looked at

i think he is more like john bolton. i think you can consider he and bolton together as a war cabinet. but i also think that warriors, and he's an army vet, warriors are less likely to slip into war then pacifists. >> greg: so true. kimberly, give me your thoughts and try to make it about 7 minutes long so that we don't have to talk to kilmeade. >> kimberly: it's going to be difficult to do anything against him. if you can be the head of the cia, how are you unfit to serve in this position. he's got a great record. i agree with you, geraldo, he's a good personal fit with the president. he trusts him, he likes him. they are able to work well together. i think he already has now the benefit of the experience of running cia. if you can be trusted with secret intelligence organization and you've done very well there to the point where he trusts you for this next position that's also integral to the success of the administration, it says a lot. on what grounds other than political, stalling, or trying to be obstructionist, ar

. >> jon: john roberts live in west palm beach, florida with more. john? >> jon, good morning to you. we heard a lot about the memos when comey testified before congress last year. seeing the memos and reading through them, very interesting, adds more context to what comey was saying in that hearing on capitol hill last year. particularly on the dossier where comey was saying to the president, we have some information from russia. the allegations could be damaging. the president asked him about it. comey says i responded that we were not investigating him and the stuff might be totally made up, but it was being said out of russia and our job is to protect the president from efforts to cooers him. that was january 6. january 28 at dinner, comey said that he told the president "i explained that he could count on me to always tell him the truth. i said i don't do sneaky things. i don't leak. i don't do weasel moves." of course, the president has been calling james comey a slime ball because of what is in his book and the president tweeting this morning, the j

john roberts is at the white house. nothing decisive or definitive but feels like there's something coming. >> about a year ago, there were rumblings that there may be some strike and then we saw the 59 tomahawk missiles launched from the base last year. so it's possible that something similar to that is on a hot boil in the front burner here at the white house and over at the pentagon. the white house pushing back against a notion floated by john mccain that the president talking in the last couple weeks about bringing u.s. forces somehow emboldened bashar al-assad to take this latest attack. russia continues to insist that there was no evidence that chemical weapons were used in this attack. but the president this morning in his cabinet meeting together with members of his cabinet quite firm in saying that this was an attack used banned chemical weapons, a short time ago i asked sarah sanders why the president is confident about that claim. >> russia insists there's no chemical weapons. what makes the president so sur
