different issues, he circled back to the loyalty question. he brought it up. comey claims that he didn t give any sort of signal, didn t nod, do anything. then they went and talked about these different issues and the president circled back to it toward the end of the dinner. it s clear based on comey s account of things that this is something the president wanted to reach an agreement on with comey, don? listen, josh, there was a comment of the nature from vladimir putin in an interview with bloomberg in 2017. here s the quote. it says trump is a grown man and secondly, he is someone who has been involved with beauty contests for many years and has met the most beautiful women in the world. i find it hard to believe that he rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world. josh, as you answer this, you re the former assistant, i should note, to comey. what do you make of that comment? wow. what can you say? you know, i har
any sort of signal, didn t nod, do anything. then they went and talked about these different issues and the president circled back to it toward the end of the dinner. it s clear based on comey s account of things that this is something the president wanted to reach an agreement on with comey, don? listen, josh, there was a comment of the nature from vladimir putin in an interview with bloomberg in 2017. here s the quote. it says trump is a grown man and secondly, he is someone who has been involved with beauty contests for many years and has met the most beautiful women in the world. i find it hard to believe that he rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world. josh, as you answer this, you re the former assistant, i should note, to comey. what do you make of that comment? wow. what can you say? you know, i harken back to a recent book from mike isikoff and david corn, russian roulette, talk about then-citizen trump,
for mi6. the accomplish intelligence ministry. he briefed prime ministers and cabinet ministers but he did have this extensive network in russia. he had produced reports that were viewed as reliable by the fbi and the state department and he s hired to go out and look at trump s ties to the to the creme lkremlin and what the kre up to. he comes back with a report that is called raw intelligence. some of it, in broad strokes, have turned out to be on target. there was, indeed, a kremlin influence opposition. they were targeting it. there are details that have not been confirmed and that were salacious and has given the opportunity for critics to go after. but if you want to understand how it all came about and who the players were, we lay it out in great depth. mike isikoff, we appreciate
