Those were ahis word. seems like it would have been a much bigger deal for the president of the united states and would have merited him sitting down with putin saying what the heck are you doing and if youre going to continue to do this, were going to get involved. >> that is a fair criticism, that even some democrats like adam schiff, diane feinstein, have leveled against the president, that he waited too long to launch the sanctions and punish russia. but i just want to get your personal unde...

Understand the political side of it and say what are we going to do from this point forward. donald trump called for a 90 day action plan. he will put dan coats, general flynn everybody to task immediately to come back with what are we going to do about this, how do we prevent it from other nations and sole actors that are out there. i think the president-elect has acted in a very responsible manner and he also complimented the intelligence community. so i think he wants the public debate over w...
