Assertions in this story? and second, if so, what would be the motivations of a russian who peddled this story to "the new york times" and other western media outlets? is this part of the russian campaign to undermine faith in western democracies? >> senator collins, first, let me say thanks for the question. reporting on this matter has been atrocious. its been ridiculous. totally inaccurate. and in our view, the suggestion the cia would swindle is false. the people swindled is the authors of t...

>> it actually gives point-by-point why the republican memo is, you know, has a lot of false assertions and also, in general, just leads the reader into a false direction. it also blows in general the cover that i think donald trump and his come policomplicit part are trying to do to fire the attorney general. is there a sense that they are looking to fire him for being accountable in his handling of the russian investigation? >> this is a sign of the times that this is a second-beat story. when...

Russians told his client about a stra taoepblic plan to take over our uranium reserve with the committee on foreign investment in the u.s. and this needs to really be looked into. >> what people ought to be looking at is why was this decision made on its face its not a good decision. but when you were the fact that bill clinton got $500,000 four months before the decision was made, and the clinton foundation got $145 million from the people who gained when their stock rose after the uranium one ...
