>> -- and let me just say that we can say enough what the mission of the senate committee is. which is to look at all activities that russia might have taken to alter or influence the 2016 elections in the united states. in addition to that, the mission of the committee is to look at any campaign contacts from either committee with russian government or russian government officials that might have influenced in any way, shape or form the election process. we take that very seriously. its not som...

With russia, that would brand-new news to all of us. and it really sent sock waves through the committee that day and everything came to a halt after that pronouncement. after that hearing, everything started unraveling. and i really believe that whats happened is that president trump has won, once again with distraction. we are not talking about the connection by russia and trump associates, were not talking about their actual involvement in the election process, were talking about alternative ...

Terminologies. but theres no doubt that it does strike at the heart of what our democracy is. im not sure that i would agree with dick cheney. i think what we do know is that the russians were doing an information operation, an influence operation and if they convinced americans to vote one way or the other thats bad on -- its not the russians fault per se, its bad on us for listening to russian propaganda. but if it went a step further and there was actually some sort of cooperation with the do...

Think, well, is that part of -- is our election process legitimate? it all depends on exactly how far it went. >> you know whos leading the investigation, and that is the house intelligence committee chairman devin nunes is leading this investigation into the possible, possible collusion. nothing has been found yet between the trump campaign and russia. many say that he has now compromised the investigation with a secret meeting at the white house. can he still lead this investigation, laura? >>...

Whisperer, you are not independent. anything he told the president, frankly, and not telling ranking member, it violates one of the first preaccepts of a committee supposed to be bipartisan, supposed to be working together in an investigation of the white hou house. this all started to explode last week after director comey said not only is he doing an investigation but hes doing an investigation with the russian connections with the trump campaign. that was the first time that had come out. tha...

Majority of americans want, according to a poll, if he has nothing to hide, then he has nothing to lose because this will taint his presidency for the next four years, if indeed he lasts that long, because, look, the fbi since last year, is doing a counter intelligence investigation, that means theyre investigating russias interference into our election process, but trump aides worked with russia. paul manafort was a campaign chairman who ran that campaign for several months and when the "new yo...

Be ridiculous for me to stand here and suggest that i possibly could. what i can tell you is under the penalty of law, every single person has filled out a form that is being vetted by whatever level of classification they need to get by the appropriate law enforcement agencies or hr entities. but i cant prevent somebody from fully disclosing everything on their taxes or filling out a form. i can tell you if theres an instance brought to our attention where someone misled us, they would be sent ...
