>> do you think he thinks he has a pretty complete understanding, those meetings. congressman heck, or do you so i think especially if there think that he is really -- may have been things going on really doesnt know and is just trying to put a good face on it? that otherwise lawyers wouldnt >> well, probably more the do either, i could see that latter, erin. but heres the deal. if, in fact, the president gave michael cohen may have foreseen him a complete 100% readout on that there might be a t...

Other americans. >> the number was the exact equivalent of the russian gru military intelligence officers mr. mueller indicted. i can imagine the conversation. he was like you want to interrogate our gru russian intelligence officials? we have 11 americans we think also committed crimes in our country. and i was on that list. so the good news, theres good news and bad news. the good news it was completely absurd, it was crazy. the state department called it that. regrettably, the white house did...

Happened in that meeting? and if we do have that expectation, when? and if we dont have that expectation, is there anything that the press core can try to do to make it so? >> unless something has been scheduled in the last three minutes, i dont think its coming up today. well have to see. part of the problem is that senior government officials dont actually know what was discussed in detail in that meeting. we know a laundry list of the issues, of course, syria, a whole bunch of other issues th...

For those sanctions to be enacted. >> thats right. i think youre right to be skeptical about whether president trump is listening to lindsey graham or anybody else. in fact, lindsey graham said in that interview also, i thought it was really important, he still doesnt know, as do apparently the rest of the government what was actually said or agreed to in the private meeting between president trump and president putin. this is one week after the summit. we still dont know what actually was agree...

The third, that he didnt know about the russians being invited. but the fourth, which i thought was the most important, and is really the revelatory point, is he still doesnt know, the nations spy chief still doesnt know what was said between president trump and president putin in a one-on-one meeting. that is stunning. >> that is stunning. and i think jonathan swan just hit on the lasting damage from this meeting because a lot of other -- the other critiques can be sort of excused away as a bre...

Out of frustration and hopelessness. when you spend your career immersed in intelligence, you know things and know things that the vast majority of the population doesnt know. if you think of the president as kind of a quarterback on a football field and think of the intelligence community in dan coats as the coach who has the playbook from the other team. the intelligence community has the playbook for russia. theyre wanting to show it to our president. the president for whatever reason is choo...

And i think the last thing they want is vladimir putin showing up here. theres been a disastrous week. we should step back. i mean, i listened to your discussion between mike rogers and jane harman at the top of the hour. this is not just a political calamity. this is a real concern for our national security. the fact that vladimir putin holds all the cards here because they were alone for two hours and even the presidents national security team, susan glasser, wrote a great piece in "the new yo...

At the time, but in that famous do-not-congratulate phone call in which president trump actually did congratulate vladimir putin, he also invited him to have the summit meeting. now, interestingly, what my reporting has shown is that president putin turned him down on coming to washington. he thought that wasnt a good idea. thats how they ended up in helsinki for this first meeting, but clearly, president trump has personally wanted president putin to come here to his white house for months. >> ...
