There is so much going on between this white house and russia that cant be explained except in the context of some other piece which we still dont fully understand. >> the people you mentioned would not need interpreters because they speak english, right? >> thats something too. >> ambassador woolsey, is he under investigation? >> i dont know. but i would assume that at least there are counterintelligence investigations looking at russia. and when those are the basis of a legal investigation, yo...

Agree, and he will be out there alone. and i dont think putin wants to in a sense publicly nail him to the wall in a set of verbal arguments at the present time. its not in putins interests particularly if hes doing well. ian has pointed out that. i think it is extremely unusual to do that. i do know that in the oval office, there are often meetings with heads of state in which part of the meeting is a group meeting, and part of the meeting is a one-on-one with interpreters if thats necessary. a...

It was interesting because that was a part of a conversation that don had in a meeting and most other people call up and say, by the way, we have information on your opponent. i was just with a lot of people, they say who are you taking a meeting with? >> um, i just dont know really where to start right there. i think all the people that were in the meeting, mike schmidt, should be asked whether they told donald trump they would have taken meeting with russian intelligence officers and with two ...

Other guys, we surrounded that complex myself and for other soldiers, we waited for 45 minutes and they wouldnt come out and talk to us. when we finally got the rest of my team there as well as some afghans that we were working with, one of our interpreters when and to try to make contact. the gazans had that compound just popped up over a low rise inside the compound and executed them point light, and through hand grenades at the rest was paid we shot two or three of them at the gate, and as th...

Compound. myself and four other soldiers. we waited for 45 minutes and they wouldnt come out and talk to us. when we finally got the rest of my team there as well as some afghanser that we were working with, one of our interpreters when and to try to make contact. the guys inside that compound just popped up over a low rise inside the compound and executed them point blank, and threw hand grenades at the rest of us. we shot two or three of them at the gate, and as the others ran to the back of t...

>> right. one thing thats interesting to note is that the russian interpreters are trained to take notes. so it is likely that russian webs besides what putin would remember as mike pointed out, the interpreter himself or herself would also have taken likely would have taken notes on the russian side. i think its -- this is a very dangerous situation. we dont have a president who is well versed in the issues. who knows the pit falls. who understands the role of the united states and role of russ...

Keeps happening and happening. you would think somebody in the white house would be like, we should just brief. he sat down with putin at the dinner, no big deal, and nobody would have said anything about it. >> exactly. my only concern in this meeting, hes an unconventional president for sure. its not completely unusual for pull-aside meetings. the one fact is i would not rely on a russian interpreter only. thats where somebody should have grabbed the cow or sent someone in to the meeting to ma...

Omar was there with four or five other guys, we surrounded that complex myself and for other soldiers, we waited for 45 minutes and they wouldnt come out and talk to us. when we finally got the rest of my team there as well as some afghans that we were working with, one of our interpreters when and to try to make contact. the gazans had that compound just popped up over a low rise inside the compound and executed them point light, and through hand grenades at the rest was paid we shot two or thr...

Writing down notes. making notes afterwards. i most certainly believe that he would have done so. and again, remember he knows all these issues cold. he is trying to persuade trump to be his buddy, against the so-called fake news, against the deep state that is out to get him, and putin and to bring them along to see the world the way he does. and he is very good at it. ive been in many meetings with vladimir putin, with president obama and other senior administration officials and the obama adm...

Notes. some interpreters take notes as well. there is always a record of presidential meetings with every foreign leader, specially with a leader like the russian leader and it is very important that those minutes be quite specific. here, you have a situation where the russians are saying one thing. we are saying another. clearly, those two stories dont add up. chris, i come back to just judgment here. the president has to support his own intelligence community. what kind of a leader would he be...
