and definitely donald trump could be for another six or seven years. the end game here is just let you know that we know what you were doing and we don't want you to ever do it again and if you do, we're going to hold you accountable. i think that's the language of the meeting. elizabeth: you talked about the protester holding a sign that president trump isn't nice. can the president really avoid chris civil right now -- criticism right now? regardless of how the meeting goes. we'll hear it play out from members of the media and members of the media in russia are obviously quite different but we'll be able to see the different story lines. how is it going to be received? how is the meeting going to be received, the aftermath? >> the truth of the matter is, the white house will try to tell their side of the story. the media will tell their side of the story. i've served in a couple white houses. the end of the game here is you do what you think is best for the country. this president has an agenda.
