And so, again, if the concern is theres something about vladimir putin, theres something about russia that donald trump wants to protect those interests even more than the interests of the united states, again, the lifting of these sanctions is going to be more evidence that hes got more -- hes more in russias corner than he is the united states corner. >> i want to turn to mike flynn, who a lot of people view as sort of the original sinner, if you will betsy woodruff, lets watch christie on jar...

Was in debt to to the tune of i want to say $19 million when manafort joined the campaign >> this is totally unacceptable. and actually, this is an instance where a huge bipartisan majority of the house just recently voted to disapprove of the lifting of these sanctions i find it really, really hard to believe that mr. deripaska has somehow turned over a new leaf hes a bad guy, and we should not be lifting sanctions on any of his entities. >> talk to me about the gop not naming members to the ho...

In our elections and other maligned acts around the globe. some of the information that has recently been revealed was not given to us when we first voted to block that lifting of sanctions. we should have an opportunity to vote again. thats why i have asked that we again consider blocking -- lifting those sanctions. they should be in place, those sanctions, not only on him personally, but on his companies. thats where his financial interest is. >> thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >>...

Mud on their face and this is a lie from the treasury secretary exposed by "the new york times", very serious for the treasury secretary because we know the treasury department was not for the lifting of the sanctions and he over rode them. why once again do they always want to make oligarchs happy? i think we know the answer. >> harry, that is the big why. >> yeah, absolutely. again, if youre looking to try to figure out does the president act like somebody who feels an obligation to do things ...

They say guess what? well keep the sanctions on his company but get rid of the personal sanctions on him because hes going to lose money and hes not maintaining control and there is a confidential document saying its not so. >> this is really serious. it means that treasury secretary mnuchin essentially lied to i think the republicans, the republican senators he was trying to get on board. i want to make the best case for why the sanctions should have been lifted because a lot of people that don...

Thumb drive. he thought it was full of holiday pictures, not classified information. you also have rudy giulianis russia reversal, trying to clean up the confusion. hes telling the new yorker even if candidate trump was involved in the discussions in 2016, it wouldnt be a crime. and democrats in congress may have fresh ammunition after the report of lifting of sanctions of a putin connected oligarch. we have a lot to get into on this front. let me bring in michael mcfall, joyce vance, peter alex...

The president is seizing on the rare statement from special counsel robert muellers office. a report in buzzfeed is not correct, that report claiming the president instructed his former fixer, michael cohen, to lie to congress. buzzfeed attributing its report to two federal law enforcement officials involved in the investigation of the matter. and happening right now, in cities all across the country, thousands of people are holding rallies in the third annual womens march. a live picture right ...

Convinced, that nato has provided indispensable global security for 70 plus years. we have been in major conflicts like world war ii. they have got to step up. i think that is one of the things that this president has brought to the table. around the globe. why are we always doing all the heavy lifting? why arent others stepping up and sharing a lease proportionally what the burden is? and i think that is a fair question. >> bill: general, thank you so much for your north korea, syria, nato. rus...
