>> when our secretary of state is sitting down with the partner that matters most, china, trying to negotiate something that would resolve and keep us from going into military conflict with north korea, which brings in south korea, japan, china, and russia, and he's knee-capped by the president, it hurts our nation. >> so, paul, if, in enafact, yo have that, then you have an indictment come monday, i can't imagine the leaders abroad would be thinking, well, who's pulling the strings here. >> right. well, the one thing i will say is that the president is not leaving for asia until the end of the week, so if there is, in fact, an indictment on monday, we'll have a couple of days of news cycle for that to play itself out. as we know, the president is very interested in changing the subject from the trump/russia, as we call it, investigation. so in fact, having him 14 hours ahead in a different time zone where he's not live tweeting "fox & friends" or other programs might be beneficial.
