The ground in saudi arabia, russia continues to haunt him and all of the controversies. whats interesting is how russia is reacting. it may not be front page news in moscow, interesting to see that you and i have been told for months russia is resigned to the fact this wont be a reset with the united states, even though it is a trump administration, but yet with the oval office visit, they still seem to be willing to project some type of affinity with the trump administration. >> thats something...

Could turn the public against the president and lead to further action. so i think we have to look for what is that particular smoking gun. in watergate, of course, it was the tape in which the president is saying we can use the cia to stop the fbi. we dont want them to follow the money trail. and here there is the same thing. id like to follow the money and see if there is a russian connection between the trump organization. that seems to be something that may explain the affinity that the pres...

Time and said to them we were actually going to be saying we listened to the audio of this and verified it, to which they basically said, yes, this conversation happened, we take back the earlier denials, and that mccarthy, it was a bad joke on his part. >> again, thats what -- put this tweet up and said this was an attempt at humor gone wrong. no surprise "the washington post" tried to contort this into breaking news. you heard the actual conversation. did you think that mccarthy was actually j...

Integrity, a great depth of good will. i understand that the president, himself, has some affinity for joe lieberman, the man, and that he has eyed him at other points since winning election for a place in his foreign policy apparatus, if you will. i think the calculation from joe liebermans part is he probably has a pretty nice life. he and his wife spend a lot of time with their family. hes very involved in causes near and dear to him. hes involved in foreign policy efforts that he cares about...
