let s talk about the collusion issue. donald trump is a no collusion so i am vindicated. in fact, we don t know what else mueller might know in terms of contacts between americans in russia. that s one of the problems with indictments. they don t exist to exonerate people they are about detailing what crimes we do know happen. of trump critics saying this does not exonerate him. there is the word called on windy that some of the russians did communicate with the trump campaign but the officials did not know what was happening to them. is there a different scheme out there and a different one that russians were engaged in that mueller is following up? it s possible. it seems this is what the clapper report was referencing. we now have to wait and see what the mueller probe does.
closet. there s still financial stuff and the collusion issue. that hasn t been resolved yet and for a president of the united states to just push this away, and ignore his responsibilities to protect our electoral system is horrifying. it s one thing the intelligence agency says something, oh you can say they re hacks, which is what he did. i believe putin. putin is very sincere he says but the intelligence agencies are. now we have an indictment from a grand jury and a highly respected prosecutor. he ignores again the issue. so how do america protect their civil rights, their civil liberties here. congresswoman, thank you very much, appreciate the time this afternoon. liz holtzman joining me in new york. emotional plea, students who survived the deadly shooting out at a florida school speak out, what they want from their elected leaders. purchase. let s do this. got it. book the flights! hai! si! si! ya! ya! ya! what does that mean for us? we can get stuff.
$1.2 million per month trying to influence the election. they were organizing rallies. they were putting out false information. they were sowing divisiveness. after these indictment, if the president doesn t acknowledge that and he still has not. i mean, russia can t take it seriously either and we ll proceed with upcoming 2018 potential interference, right? yes, i think he has. i think his statement was a step towards acknowledgement. h.r. mcmaster has said there s no doubt the russians have meddled in the election. it strikes me the trump national security apparatus gets it here but what do you do with that information? if the president could take a pro active step to put a group of people together whose only job for the next two years was to stop this from happening in the future that would be a great step that i would think would unify the country on this collusion issue. i know this, the russians are meddling and we ve got to stop them because they are hostile to the uni
the collusion issue. trump is saying no collusion, therefore i am vindicated, but, in fact, we don t really know what else mueller might know regarding contacts between americans and russia. well, that s one of the problems with indictments is that they don t exist to exonerate people, they are about detailing about what crimes we do happen. you have crime critics saying it does not exonerate him, word unwitting that russians did communicate with trump campaign but officials were unwitting and they did not know what was happening to them. so the question is, is there a different team out there and completely entirely different one that the russians were engaged in that mueller is firing up that could deal with collusion, it s possible but seems as though this is the this is the deal, this is what the clapper report was referencing and we ve got to wait now and see what the mueller probe does next and when they decide if ever to close up
that public appearance. he seemed simply be being there physically tying himself to that indictment. obviously, he s been under fire from the president. to me, that s an assertion of independence rather than a display of bias, but different people see everything in this probe through different prisms. eboni: do you think the president has made a mistake since the beginning of this probe, describing it as a hoax, being fairly reluctant to even acknowledge any russian interference whatsoever and tying the russian interference and collusion issue as one in the same when you see here the doj making these two separate issues? yes, and that s the big news from the announcement and this isn t a particularly apolitical, we heard mcmasters talking about the fact that this provides incontrovertible evidence of russian meddling. a distinct issue, a r separate
