Hearings on russia. weve gone about a year without a hearing. so i appreciate your leadership in this regard. now it seems to have taken a three-ring circus of a debacle of a meeting with president putin, a walk back of whether the president trusts his own intelligence officials, suggesting that it might be okay for a u.s. diplomat to be interrogated by russian intelligence and a reality tv summit that was a little more than photo op with a brutal dictator. having said that, welcome and thank yo...

Otherwise, the administration will continue imposing tough actions against russia in response to its maligned activities. we cant make progress unless we talk about them. ive heard many of you on this panel say that for years and years. im referring to key issues like stopping terrorism, obtaining mace in ukraine, delivering humanitarian assistance in syria. for iran, the president has said iran is not the same country it was five months ago. thats because our campaign of financial pressure, the...

Afternoon in cohen is telling the truth, why are he and lanny davis misrepresenting the language by the president? why are they leaking falsely privileged information? so much for ethics. davis said he released the tape because he was getting smeared in the press and he wanted to set the record tape. >> shepard: we just got word, had no idea this was coming from the white house, as many of you know, theres a white house pool that involving five major networks. the pool covers anything that happe...
