his mind think that his meetings with the ambassador with kislyak had anything to do with this news story and even his follow-up question during the press conference he was still thinking of it in that other framework, not his meetings with kislyak. now, it's still a little unclear if in that moment he recalled those meetings because you will remember last night the department of justice initially said that he didn't remember the meeting and through time he's had some more clarity, clearly was able to talk about the fact, they talked about terrorism and other issues. but it's worth pointing out that he is, of course, russia's ambassador to the u.s., but also he's considered in the view of the fbi and intelligence agencies to be a top spy for russia. he's someone to be considered someone who will go back to russia and share intelligence, what he collects in the united states. and, so, this isn't just some, you know, ambassador. this is someone that the u.s. views as a spy which could be argued a lot of diplomats are.
