Talia didn't tell me that -
That she's setting us up? Me either. She told me that she needed my approval for a new guy she is dating.
She knew how to get you here.
My sister watches too many rom-coms.

If you were in her shoes, you'd have turned that flash drive over to the FBI even if it cost you an election. If there's one thing I know about you, you are scrupulously honest.
It's not directly analogous. Daisy thought she was protecting me and the country from Miller.
True. But the thing about ethics is they can't be cherry picked. Daisy convinced herself that she was doing the right thing when she wasn't. Don't you do it too.
Daisy is more than an employee. She's a friend.
Then forgive her. But you're the President of the United States. You have to let her go.
You could have heard a pin drop.
They sure made a lot of noise once they got outside.
Circling the wagons, whining about their freedoms. Never gets old.
Except Valerie Gillian is in jail for contempt, not for something she wrote. This is about finding the truth, not about censorship.
VValerie
I got a message for your boss.
I suggest you take it up with the US attorney.
VValerie
And give that court legitimacy? Not a chance. I thought I'd skip the line and go straight to the source. Tell her that there is no way in hell that I'm revealing my source under any circumstances.
They'll hold you in contempt.
VValerie
Then I'll write from jail. I've already cleared it with my editor.
You should have disclosed it.
If it was any other candidate, I would have. But Miller is a racist and a xenophobe and a liar. I did nothing wrong. But I knew he would lie and distort and say there was collusion. And because he was a Republican candidate for President, millions of people would have believed him. And if he sunk your campaign and got elected, I wouldn't be able to look my daughter in the eye.
How can one fake video take down the entire trade deal?
It doesn't help that it's pinging around social media.

There is only one thing your Chief of Staff couldn't arrange. A meeting with Beyonce.
Presidential powers only go so far.

U-Vid shares your concern about fake news. It was a top discussion at our annual retreat.
So take down some fake news.
You know what pioneers get to accomplish? Being first. That's it.
Some get more than that.
Not anyone who matters. Susan B Anthony fought for women's suffrage but died 5 years before it came to be. Martin Luther King didn't live to see many of his dreams come true. People who light the sparks don't often get to sit by the fire.
That is a partisan move for a department that is supposed to be apolitical.
On the down low, please, Olivia. Otherwise the President looks like the captain of the Good Ship Paranoia.
Reagan bailed.
Because he was shot.
You're nervous because you have to tell jokes and you're not funny.
Can we discuss what you plan to offer first?
We're trying to prevent a shooting war in the Middle East. Can we discuss how it plays in the press later?
How is she doing?
You know in Wonder Woman when she fights off bullets with her bracelets? Like that.
I think I can be confident that I will not be convicted of the murder of a state Senator.
Elizabeth': You plant enough doubt in the public's mind and they'll believe anything.
So the attack came from a rogue commander. That means that President Lee doesn't want to escalate this conflict any more than I do.

His pride will not allow him to back down. It is a matter of honor, especially because you are a woman.
So he'd rather blow up the world than bow to a girl?
