Possible scenarios. briefly, what are they? >> what i was trying to describe is a question about why were the russians talking to the trump campaign during the campaign. the three ideas i laid out were, one, the most serious one, somehow the trump campaign and the russians were colluding, the hacking was authorized by the trump campaign. thats the most serious one. the other idea what jeff sessions said, basically these contacts were incidental, there was no real meaning to them, sessions said i...

Surprised that the abe/trump meeting went as well as it did. nearly every other ally has had some problem, even with theresa may of the united kingdom. she had to say that donald trump really supported nato. this was a robust, full throated support of japan in a way that was very, very die could the muss wi dichotomus of what we have seen during the campaign. whether steven miller gets it and this is convincing to the rest of the world, i dont know. but i think that with regards to japan, it was...
