They're clever book and I'm proud of the work she still like two dollars and -- So still homilies national security analysts -- and a presence of -- are not coming out of the why does correlate Jones -- Well if you look at the book and that if they can't come from anywhere else.
It cites numerous.
Administration officials so the question is system.
You know I guess it's a legitimate question what are came actually from the White House or from.
Quote the administration it's still done immense damage Donna immense damage two.
Our national security our relations with our allies -- to the most.
Important operations.
We're engaged in and has been revealed which that are that are actually.
According to our Director of National Intelligence.

Who know -- Who know better.
Then there are people in -- -- you also know better.
What did you think it's gonna happen.
I don't know but it when he spoke.
And it is -- press conference he seemed much more concerned about.
The fact that people including me were alleging that this could have come from.
The White House clearly came to the administration's -- any less concerned about the impact -- can't.
It's it's remarkable.
You would think that we -- -- leaks of this magnitude that that would be the presence concern it doesn't seem to be.
But the most important thing is that we need and special counsel.
Somebody who is not beholden to mr.
holder who you know has -- huge credibility problem appear on the hill.
And we need special counsel could be appointed.
Tim -- kind of -- thing is that both and then Senator Biden and and Senator Obama.
Called for a special counsel in the case of the Valerie Plame case I'm sure you remember that.
They called -- -- then but now they reject the idea.
And by the way -- I've never heard of an investigation led by two people that's what.
Holder has -- appointed two people and one of them being any.
-- countries contributor to the President Obama but -- it's just really this whole thing is is really kind of saddening because.
You know one of our greatest challenge -- the Iranian.

And of course the presence portrays this.
Guy with the catalyst decides who -- who doesn't and that and the drone actually saw it hit its.
This whole thing is his probably.
Arguably is status anything.
As far as national security concerns -- diversity.
Cross land management -- calls.
On the part of some -- try to get the New York Times.
Among -- times to reveal their sources right.
-- British you know that never happens.
That never happens.
What they need to do -- have a thorough investigation by special counsel with the kind of authority.
-- to conduct that investigation that that the only way if seriously if it's going to happen.
But in mr.
Sanger is working mentions he -- Sources who requested to be anonymous because they would.
Quote lose their jobs well what do they worked.
I don't know -- on top of this.
-- -- investigation.
-- it turns over what's been going on forever.
And now this.
-- your call for the attorney -- most others have done to resign.
I have done that done because I think he serves at the pleasure of the president but I do think that it's just.
Inexcusable.
The fact that he is not turned over information.
-- those were investigating the congress carrying out their duties and by the way I'm sure you may recall that.
The one of these guns that -- us through this incredibly.
Fouled up operation -- ended up in the hands of people who shot and killed -- -- Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in Arizona.
