data to further its sweeping and systematic interference in the presidential election? that s a little bit out of our path. fair enough. did your investigation find the russian government perceived it would benefit from one of the candidates winning? yes. and which candidate would that be? well, it would be trump. correct. the president. the trump campaign wasn t exactly are reluctant to take russian help. that s correct. was the investigation s determination what was the investigation s determination regarding the frequency with which the trump campaign made contact with the russian government? well, i would have to refer you to the report on that. we went through and we
campaign wasn t aware of the method that they were using to capture the information. but i will go in with an open mind and hopefully as the attorney general looks back to that whole process we will have the facts be what they are. so i think at the end of the day, i do think that lindsey graham, senator graham is right. i would naturally the first call i would make is to the fbi. but it may be that we should have better awareness that that should be what we all do when we get information from a foreign entity that s trying to meddle in our elections. hairs layers are you saying that the president should have different rules then? no. i m not saying that i m just saying in this case, it probably makes sense to make people aware that we have a serious threat from russia, china, iran, a number of other nations, that are trying to meddle in our election. so we have to be hyper vigilant. well, you know, during a senate hearing last month, attorney general william barr said if a foreign
a large number of m.p. s saying they support the result of the referendum and want to implement it and then they re being doing their best to be very obstructive and . this is project fantasy on the part of the leave campaign wasn t it i mean like david davis is promising twenty sixteen that the first calling point for a british negotiator won t be brussels it will be berlin to strike the deal absolute access for german cars in industrial goods in exchange for a sensible deal and everything else well what s worse the fact that that didn t happen or the fact that he simply had no idea that individually you members can t negotiate pilots well i wonder if i m going to merkel is being is beginning to be a bit worried that the e.u. is being allowed to overplay its hand because if the e.u. thought it could take the united kingdom captive in these negotiations it s finding that that is not the case but you re not addressing the fact that the british political landscape is littered with these
