the fact of the matter is, it is dangerous. the longer we go and we don t actually, by law, restrict the executive from doing something like this, we would be doing something dangerous and not in the national security. i m heartened by the fact that there has been bipartisan pushback in the last 48 hours, but i urge my republican colleagues to actually put country ahead of party and vote for this much like the russia sanctions bill passed the senate. it s bogged down now in the house, but passed the senate 98-2. that s the same sort of overwhelming vote that we should cast on this and make sure under no circumstances, a week from now, a month from now, this trump white house would actually put together this cybersecurity unit with the russians. evelyn, quickly i want to get your reaction to the breaking news of the night from the new york times that donald trump jr. received an e-mail saying that there was information from
called magnitsky sanctions against human rights violators from russia, which is something very important to vladimir putin. and she was coming armed with something with a quid pro quo. the russians understand if they want something from the americans, if they want something from donald trump, they have to offer something in return. now, i don t know exactly what she was offering, but i know exactly what she was asking for, which was to repeal sanctions against russian torturers and murderers, which is something that s very sensitive to vladimir putin. bill, take a minute and tell us how these sanctions were put in place and why they were put in place and whose name is on those sanctions, how that happened. so the sanctions are called the magnitsky act. the magnitsky act is a piece of legislation named after my lawyer, sergei magnitsky. sergei magnitsky was an anti-corruption in moscow, uncovered a massive $230 million russian government corruption

when he is going to be there friday what will the perception be? well, i think there will be a lot of par oddies, won t be a lot of respect. he has almost zero respect in europe. all the people claimed that sort of the mantle of trumpism over the last year have been defeated at the polls. in europe. probably because of trump, because of to coin a phrase, because of the incontinence and incompetence of his administration. maureen he le pen is discredited and the right winning is on the defensive. populace is on the defensive precisely because of trump. that is truly a sign of his incompetence european leaders have a strong feeling for the way russia operates. when they see in unfolding and the latest information tonights saying donald trump jr. was told
