Don had with his meeting that i think as i said most of the people, you know, when they call up and say by the way, we have information on your opponent, i think most politicians -- i was just with a lot of people. they said who wouldnt have taken a meeting like that? >> okay. so lets just come back. did you hear what he said? >> yeah. >> if you think about the time ing of that, because he mentioned the adoption, youre not actually talking about adoptions. youre talking about sanctions. cnn and ...

Donald trump, director mueller is not an independent counsel. he is a special counsel, who is answerable to the justice department which is answerable to donald trump. >> its also interesting, kerstin to hear the president say my previously undisclosed meeting with president putin only lasted about 15 minutes when reporting from folks who were there said it was almost an hour, and the fact that even if it was just 15 minutes, that they never even disclosed it. and saying oh, the president saying...

So it was surprising that came up. i never believe in coincidence. the russian adoption issue also relates to sanctions. >> right. do you know if -- he said it came up. it sounds like he didnt mention it, it sounds like putin mentioned it. which if putin mentioned it, theyre not talking about adoptions. theyre talking about sanctions. >> right. that is my read, but it was not clear and i dont want to get ahead of what the president actually said in his remarks. >> just overall, how did his demea...

For bringing on mueller and being from baltimore, maryland, where the president says very few republicans live. for the special council, bob mueller, the president had a warning, stay away from his family finances or else. as for the fired fbi director, the president leveled a new accusation against comey, saying he thinks he used a solation dossier. they discussed russian adoptions, which means they discussed sanctions, which is more than small talk. lets get to it. beginning with stunning comm...

Maybe we all have it wrong about vladimir putin, maybe hes a much more, you know, thoughtful guy than we give him credit, that he wakes up in the morning worrying about adoptions and orphans. but its hard to believe that was the topic of conversation. >> if the president was discussing sanctions, which is, you know, as i was just saying sort of what the russians mean when they do talk about adoptions, if they did talk about adoptions, which means they were talking about sanctions, whats the dang...

Russians who were suspected of human rights abuses. i dont know what you think, but tell me, do you think that putin, who was obviously a very savvy guy, is talking about adoptions with president trump and not about sanctions? what do you think actually might have taken place? >> the whole meeting is suspicious. we know donald trump has trouble with the truth, and we certainly know vladimir putin has trouble with the truth. the only other person in that exchange was the russian translator. no am...

Which no longer exists, took that opportunity away from bill clinton. donald trump, director mueller is not an independent counsel. he is a special counsel, answerable to the jtustice department, answerable to president trump. >> its interesting to hear the president say that meeting only lasted 15 minutes when sources there say it was almost an hour. and the fact that even if it was just 15 minutes, they -- and saying that oh, the president saying the words of whats interesting -- he said it wa...

Interested. his response was, lets have a meeting. i think that was the opening door with the russians trying build a relationship with the senior levels of the trump campaign team. this is why next wednesday well have paul manafort and donald trump jr. appear before the intelligence committee. it is why they are getting documents and witnesses in the investigation. we dont know for sure what transpired. we know when it was discussed, it is only after several days of public disclosures that we l...

You. im glad you introduced this segment with that comment. because that really struck me as well, the fact that of all the things the president says they talked about, he should say adoptions. of course, this is what his son said their meeting was about. and we now know the meeting was about anything but adoptions. it was about getting dirt on hillary clinton, about the magnitsky act and adoptions was really the subterfuge. are we supposed to believe the president when he said this meeting whic...

Obviously. the entire reason the attorney general stated in writing that he was recusing is because of his deep involvement in the trump campaign and that is to create the layer of independence that is rally required. when donald trump comes out and says if i had knownou yourself, wouldnt have given you the job, that makes him look worse because it looks like he wanted an attorney general who was linked close to him and would have done anything to get that. it is what in the law we call admissio...
