it's quite interesting to me that the president continues to ask for loyalty or to attest the loyalty of senior law enforcement officers in the country and then turn around and say that those who maintain their independence are illicitly or unlawfully biased against him. it's a certain irony that i think belies the president's true motives here. he's not motivated by the best interest of the country, he's thinking about himself and himself alone and we as americans need to understand that our rule of law is critical to ensuring our basic rights and that's what's at stake here. >> yeah. evan, one more quick topic here. this is on cia director mike pompeo recently met with the russian spy chief. mystery meeting. raising some eyebrows. chuck schumer questioned the meeting to which pompeo responded today it was a way to quote keep americans safe.
