NPR's Ari Shapiro speaks with Kristen Soltis Anderson, of The Washington Examiner and author of "The Selfie Vote", and Jason Johnson, politics editor at The Root, about Former FBI director James Comey, new additions to President Trump's legal team, and the nomination of CIA Director Mike Pompeo to be Secretary of State. SHAPIRO: So if the two of you both feel like these notes were kind of a nothing burger news-wise, I'm curious about why Republicans in Congress were so eager to release them. SHAPIRO: I mean, Kristen, do you think he's right? So, Jason, clearly at least the president is hitting on this leaking classified information talking point. SHAPIRO: Well, let's talk about that Mueller investigation. Rudy Giuliani... SHAPIRO: I mean, wow, that's quite a... I mean, there were a lot of people - remember; that was the agency - that was the division, the FBI, that was considered Trumpland (ph), and there were lots of different avenues they had to go through before Cohen was investigated. SHAPIRO: Boy, Kristen, it's quite a thing to say, I don't trust this guy Giuliani enough to put him in my Cabinet, but I do trust him enough to be my lawyer in this very-high-stakes investigation. Remember that earlier this week, James Comey in an interview said, look; even if you fire Mueller at this point, you're not going to end these investigations. SHAPIRO: Kristen Soltis Anderson and Jason Johnson, thank you so much.
