whole committee was in violent rejection of a policy. let me put up something from the piece i referenced. the washington post also writes, devin nunes tried to discredit the fbi. instead he proved it s on to something. if nunes was trying to cast doubt on the basis and motives of the fbi s interest in page and his campaign he failed miserably. far from demonstrating the fbi was out to get trump the memo suggested the trump campaign could have had an active russian spy working as a foreign policy adviser. why isn t the trump white house thanking the fbi? this was my question last week. we missed pieces from the plot, right? carter page was first under surveillance in twl2013, years before donald trump named him as an adviser. and carter page went around the world talking about how trump would have better relations with russia. why wouldn t they want to know if he was a russian spy? well, i think that it s not just one russian spy. there could have been two russian spies because
tillerson said, nikki haley said our priority is no longer to sit and focus on getting assad out. well, the united states of america is known to help people who want freedom and democracy. none of us are arguing for american troops on the ground there to fight against bashar al assad. but we certainly believe we can fight isis and help people struggling against one of the great brutal dictators in history, bashar assad and his minions. there was a story about the torture of thousands and thousands, murders of thousands and thousands in damascus. these are war crimes on the sale of nazi, germany, or pol pot. why isn t the trump administration saying any of that? you re asking the wrong guy?
means that the secretary of state could be characterized and reported upon by these other foreign media entities. is that a big mistake and is this something that we need to be worried about for his next big trip? no press? i do believe it s a big mistake and secretary tillerson. i ve heard some good things about him from some of my friends in the state department that he s calm, deliberate, analytical, but i think shutting the press off on a big international trip, you know, the secretary of state works for the american people. so you guys should be included, and i think that probably will change. i hope it isn t the trump white house saying, hey, all foreign policy is happening at the white house because that would be a mistake because our diplomats should be making that foreign policy, but at the same time, you know, you want to be open. you re sending messages around the world, and i think the state department just from some of the stuff i ve read has been diminished a bit, that
that is what we re doing. we re voting for a name on a ballot, but there s really an underlying set of electors that you represent now. how did you make this decision to not vote as you were committed to do as an elector? it s been a little bit of a long process, but ultimately, this weekend was kind of the final raindrop that created the flood, if you will. mike pence being on the sunday talk shows, repeating the attack on our institutions that donald trump had started about 3 million illegal voters voting, which is fake news at best. there s no good accounting of that anywhere, and if there were any kind of a validation of that, my question would be why isn t the trump campaign asking for a recount go those states. but when you attack our institutions, our constitution, when you spend more time attacking the cast of saturday night live than you do with your daily intelligence briefing, i have to start evaluating whether i can support
any kind of a validation of that, my question would be why isn t the trump campaign asking for a recount go those states. but when you attack our institutions, our constitution, when you spend more time attacking the cast of saturday night live than you do with your daily intelligence briefing, i have to start evaluating whether i can support you as a president. what do you say to other electors who actually don t believe they even have the power to make a choice? i think you re in the wrong seat. you ve been put in the wrong office. the electoral college is designed to be a safety valve, and there s almost a three-prong test. is this someone who can protect the national interest and do they have a financial interest? i think the heard it is clearly objective. but i think mr. trump fails on all three. you re right. it is very clear go the original
