obvious, but i would like to clarify just in case it wasn t chblt in a key sentence in my remarks i said the word would instead of wouldn t. the sentence should have been, i don t ee asee any reason why it would. he was hearing it was unpatriotic. that certainly got to him. so the white house will find out if all of the fallout is over or if it lingers. so many questions here at the white house and on capitol hill. dave and christine. joining us from washington, cnn politics digital director zach wolf. zach, let s give the president his mulligan on the wouldn t/would. then there s 90 other minutes of press conference that were hair raising for nato countries and for american national interest. let s just have a little bit of context around this.
looking at individuals like michael cohen and paul many of the it is rare hazing and un-american and it s frankly surprising to me that more republicans aren t coming forward and just saying we are going to unite and do all we can to keep this from happening again. why do you classify it as hair raising? what about it is hair raising? that we allowed it to happen and we didn t stop it while it was happening right in front of us and that we continue to allow the russians to be in our systems, interfere in upcoming elections as they have said they will and we are not showing the unity, putting up the she would that republicans and democrats would normally put up when our country is attacked. mike short said there is no need to pardon cohen at this point. that s quote. do you think pardoning him at this stage would be an obstruction of justice? the president has broad pardon power but that doesn t mean he can t be held accountable by congress. to me that would qualify as a high cr

fellow at the independent women s forum. do we need to do more? yes, in fact, we need to get beyond tit for tat. we need to recognize what s needed remember when president obama mocked romney? we need to bring back that playbook because this is a matter of major deterrents now needed. we can t keep responding to each attack. we ve got to draw lines that putin really doesn t dare cross. you say there are a lot of things about him and his actions right now that are really hair raising. like what? i just came away from a conference here in manhattan on putin, talking about his rise. and when you look at the trajectory, the making of this dictator, the move into the middle east and syria, the sort of territorial acquisition where he can poise right now with a
