>> laura: obama to the rescue. that is the focus of tonights "angle." before president trump could even clarify a statement helsinki, president obama pounced. speaking in johannesburg, he hits the sitting president, populism, and attempted to breathe life into his own sad legacy. >> look around. strongman politics are descending suddenly, whereby elections and some pretense of democracy are maintained, the form of it, but those in power seek to undermine every institution or norm that gives demo...

Was hardly a surprise and it even case from his own party. todays press conference in helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory blasted republican senator and former presidential candidate john mccain the president must appreciate that russia is not our ally rebuked republican house speaker poor ryan and democrats were also swift to condemn. me in hot tired history of our country americans have never seen a president of the united states support an ...

That be suddenly werent. heres the president talking about americas intelligence community. >> i have a full faith in our intelligence agencies. oops, they just turned off the lights. that must be the intelligence agents. there it goes. okay. you guys okay? that was strange. but thats okay. >> talk about things taking a dark turn. the president, ever the tv expert, started over again for the cameras. this sort of thing, though, isnt limited to republicans. you may remember the clintons had a clo...

Think that guccifer had anything to do with russia and that the government had nothing to do with the actions of guccifer. we now know from this indictment theres only one guccifer, and its a fugazi name for the russian bad guys who are conspiring against the united states in its election. there is no other guccifer. there is only one, and its a composite of these bad guys named in the indictment. will you own that now as a reality? >> well, an indictment, as you know, chris, is an accusation. i...

If you dont want people to have that story coming out, then you should make sure this is an open meeting. you should take that indictment. you should hold it in front of putins face and say, i want those people extradited to the united states. i want to make sure that none of this is happening in the 2018 election. i would confront him directly and get that on camera because otherwise, given this presidents propensity for lying, when he comes out of this meeting, who the heck is going to believe...

Reality? >> well, an indictment, as you know, chris, is an accusation. its a charge by the government. >> true. >> its not a conviction. even russian intelligence agenciagents in the united states have a presumption of innocence until theyre proven guilty. i agree with something that congressman nadler said in the previous program with anderson cooper. i would like to see the russians extradite these intelligence agents so we can have a trial, so the dnc server can be examined, and so this charg...

Extradited. of course theyre intelligence agents. they wont be. one of the aud thiodd things abs indictment that hasnt been discussed is this really isnt how this should ever be put forward. there are three types of investigations of the department of justice. criminal investigation, civil investigations, and the much less known counterintelligence investigations. and this is counterintelligence material. i mean this makes sense in a report about russian participation in the 2016 election, but t...

Which the administration considers to be spies, intelligence agents, and steps to impose russia sanctions. and then on the issue of syria, last week the president said he wanted to withdraw 2,000 troops currently in syria today, did a bit of clean up work, saying he wants to stay there until the fight against isis is done. the president also said that he might consider staying if saudi arabia chooses to pay for the u.s. troop presence in syria. if the u.s. does withdraw from syria, who benefits ...

Brennan cant say on television because hes still bound by classification. but just give us a sense of what -- if you think about the totality of that period from early 2016 to now, what are the kinds of things he knows that he cant talk about? >> well, i dont know. what i do know is what was in the public realm throughout this period was, of course, they were actively in multiple venues dealing with the russians. business, intelligence agents, et cetera. they were hacking our election system. so...
