if anything, its trying to raise a red flag, a comparison to pre-9/11 security issues. >> theyre vastly different, of course, 9/11 and this cyber intrusion into our election process. really not quite comparable. but it is true that meddling in our election system is not good for our democracy and that we should be taking efforts at the state and federal level to make sure that we have safeguards in place to prevent it and that were aggressively pursuing those who have hacked it as mueller has...

The presumed perpetrator of that terror strike? >> ed, terrorism, i cant even likeen this to 9/11 but lets remember vladimir putin accused of a assassinating his own formr spy in the u.k., attacking and killing. servers and bitcoin and hiding money to attack our election process -- >> hes a bad guy. >> its a bad thing. but to go to that level seems over-the-top. >> i think youre right, to call it terrorist attack is extreme. whats more important is for president trump to acknowledge there is an ...

>> it depends how they treat horses if he releases a prisoner. and gets a significant political concession or if he thinks that they need to improve their image that is very battered in this country. we saw this russian intelligence officer just being indicted. by the mueller investigation for interference in our election process. >> activists really can only wait and see what comes out of the meeting tomorrow in helsinki. >> lauren greene, thank you. >> i think the president should be clear out...

Going to be someone else next time. this is about russia seeking to impact our democracy and the integrity of our election process. >> so why wont more republican members in your auguste body -- >> is it auguste? there are people who do feel it is a legitimate investigation. and, you know, the circus that went on last week was just that, it was a circus. i think that most people feel that this is a legitimate investigation. it should proceed to its logical conclusion, whatever that is. i would a...

Well do it each way each time which reduces how we select supreme court justices. i think to protect the integrity of the senate they ought to wait and have this again after the election process. >> as you know, i spoke out against prolonging the -- >> right. >> justice garland into the supreme court. i thought that vote should have been taken. i also believed it never should have been changd. there is a reason we want to see consensus. >> that being said though, elections have consequences. one...

Meet with mr. putin alone. whats your take on that? >> i think that makes sense. i think probably the best course of action is to cancel the meeting, given the revelation of all of the information we now know publicly how the russians attacked our democratic process. i would say this. if the president insists on meeting with mr. putin, he has to not ask him about russian interference in the election process, he has to confront him with the detail, the extraordinary detail that we knew january of...

>> i dont know that any of us should be breathing a sigh of relief and in terms of saying that, you know, we are in a situation where if the amount of details thats contained in this indictment is backed up by evidence and facts we are subject today a huge amount of vulnerability that im hopeful that our counterintelligence is now better prepared to handle moving forward. we are subjected to having our election process compromised in every way at every juncture even if not in presidential electi...

Alter the results of the election and there is still absolutely zero evidence of that whatsoever and it is bogging down our political process. >> brian: theres a big call among some leadership on the democratic side to not meet with vladimir putin. would that be a good move? >> why should he not meet with him? i cant figure out democrats for the life of me. they debate themselves all the time on issues. they have absolutely no problem, its about principles. when barack obama met with human repre...

>> i think that we can clear i will say at this point that -- that the way that the obama administration handled the information that it had as early as september of 2016 could be called into question in terms of it was definitely worthy of probably in hindsight at least a bigger reaction, however, again, this is an ongoing investigation and there was a lot of concerns we learned through hearings and through the -- inspector generals report, theres been a lot of concerns not only by the fbi but ...

Shouldnt have this meeting, this indictment today follows on from an earlier indictment for russian activity in social media, activities in 2016, this is not like the first thing and know, we cant meet with putin. weve known theyve done this and done it a long time. >> neil: the president did not apparently. originally he did missed it, said it was president true. thats what the guy says. im sure hes savvier than that. he knew there was some attempt on the part of the russians to screw around in...
