>> sort of a follow-up on what you were talking about. our obsession with russia and responsibility -- there's a report out today based on a lawsuit that was filed that says that sean spice r was pushing around this story -- perhaps the one responsible for wiki leaks. sean put out a statement, he said it was just a meeting. he said the guy didn't know the president. the lawsuit alleges the president knew about it and had an influence on the story. did the president know about the story prepublication. >> the president had no knowledge of the story and it's completely untrue that he or the white house had involvement in the story. beyond that, this is on going litigation, and i'd refer you to the parties involved which aren't the white house. >> does it disturb you that the press secretary for the president of the united states gave this incredibly passionate push back on focusing on russia.
