Advisor come at white house today because position, on the lawn, just by west executive drive, we dont know exactly what he will say, except we expect them to make the point roughly along the same lines that the secretary of state a few minutes ago to the fact that no sources or methods were discussed with the russians. i think it would be more reassuring, perhaps, panel, if general mcmaster came out and said that no sources or methods were compromised. there is a difference between discussing t...
