00:00:02.926 --> 00:00:03.961
should be asking, in this case

00:00:04.094 --> 00:00:04.761
about Michael Flynn.

00:00:04.761 --> 00:00:07.231
Take a look at this.

00:00:07.764 --> 00:00:09.366
>> If I write them out in a

00:00:10.067 --> 00:00:11.268
slide format, maybe we are

00:00:11.401 --> 00:00:12.769
visual learners and you guys

00:00:13.137 --> 00:00:15.105
will follow up with journalistic

00:00:15.973 --> 00:00:16.206
curiosity.

00:00:16.340 --> 00:00:17.107
Why was lieutenant general

00:00:17.241 --> 00:00:20.043
Michael Flynn unmasked?

00:00:20.177 --> 00:00:21.111
Not by the Intel community

00:00:21.245 --> 00:00:22.946
entirely but by Obama's chief of

00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:25.048
staff, by the former

00:00:25.182 --> 00:00:25.782
vice president Joe Biden.

00:00:25.816 --> 00:00:28.018
By Susan rice.

00:00:28.152 --> 00:00:29.419
By the treasury secretary.

00:00:29.786 --> 00:00:32.789
I mean, this is extraordinary.

00:00:32.923 --> 00:00:33.790
>> Chris: Jonah, first of all,

00:00:33.790 --> 00:00:36.293
it's not extraordinary.

00:00:36.793 --> 00:00:38.795
Unmasking is pretty routine.

00:00:38.795 --> 00:00:39.296
The effort by people amend

00:00:39.429 --> 00:00:41.965
administration to find out who a

00:00:42.099 --> 00:00:44.801
masked American person is.

00:00:44.968 --> 00:00:46.069
It happens in the trump

00:00:46.803 --> 00:00:48.405
white house, it happened I think

00:00:48.805 --> 00:00:50.874
16,000 times the year before

00:00:51.108 --> 00:00:51.275
last.

00:00:51.441 --> 00:00:53.143
What's a crime is leaking it but

00:00:53.810 --> 00:00:54.044
unmasking isn't.

00:00:54.811 --> 00:00:56.213
In addition to which, I have to

00:00:56.346 --> 00:00:58.415
say that if Kayleigh Mcenany

00:00:58.815 --> 00:01:01.385
had told Sam Donaldson and me

00:01:01.818 --> 00:01:02.286
what questions we should ask,

00:01:02.486 --> 00:01:03.887
that would not have gone well,

00:01:05.989 --> 00:01:06.156
Jonah.

00:01:06.290 --> 00:01:08.158
>> Look, it's nice to see Donna

00:01:08.292 --> 00:01:09.493
so deferential to

00:01:10.827 --> 00:01:11.128
Kayleigh Mcenany.

00:01:11.261 --> 00:01:11.828
I think her behavior is

00:01:11.862 --> 00:01:13.163
indefensible and grotesque.

00:01:13.297 --> 00:01:14.831
I think that what she has done

00:01:14.831 --> 00:01:18.835
is -- there's this cliche in

00:01:18.835 --> 00:01:20.904
Washington that president trump

00:01:21.038 --> 00:01:26.443
wants Roy Cohn as doj, as

00:01:26.843 --> 00:01:27.244
attorney general.

00:01:27.377 --> 00:01:28.845
What Donald Trump wants in a

00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.114
press secretary is a Twitter

00:01:31.381 --> 00:01:32.849
troll who goes on attack,

00:01:32.950 --> 00:01:33.483
doesn't actually care about

00:01:33.850 --> 00:01:35.152
doing the job they have and

00:01:35.285 --> 00:01:37.354
instead wants to impress really

00:01:38.855 --> 00:01:40.357
an audience of one and make

00:01:40.490 --> 00:01:42.859
another part of official

00:01:42.859 --> 00:01:43.393
Washington another one of these

00:01:43.527 --> 00:01:45.862
essentially cable news and

00:01:45.862 --> 00:01:46.863
Twitter laboratory arenas.
