Entire day, its inconsistent, and its frankly very disappointing. >> let me just go to you, david, on this, the fact that he continues to cast doubt on his own intelligence agencies assessment, casting doubt on some people hes actually nominated and their assessment, in your view, does that only bolster putins hand? >> no. so from what i heard, the clip you just played, he didnt cast out on anybody. the russians and others -- >> theres no doubt -- >> weapons of mass disruption with the intellige...

After that forum. we want to get your reaction to what we heard this morning. we were watching in as we were watching this unfold live. >> i think one thing that is fascinating to note is that putin is echng the same talking points as president trump right now. clinton lost the election, it was her fault. casting doubt on intelligence agencies and using fake news and saying there is no proof that russia meddled and influenced the russian election. also said in so many words the one thing that pr...

Also. >> and the obama administration fired him when he was supposed to come up for his second tour of duty as the head of the dia, the defense intelligence agency. they didnt like his style of operation. senator lindsey graham, the republican senator from south carolina, hes casting doubt on then tire story suggesting this could have been russian disinformation put out to stir confusion. do you think thats possible? >> well, anything is possible right now, but the most important thing that we c...

Americans appearing in intelligence reports. now, just to refresh your memory, heres what congressman nunes has said previously. >> theres some information in those documents that concern me, in the reports that i read, that i dont think belong there. it would make me uncomfortable. some of it, i think it bothered me enough that i went over to the white house because i think the president needs to see these reports for himself. i was concerned about americans identities being either not masked p...
