potential collusion. there s still a lot to be developed. we re not in a role of pushing or advocating or prosecuting this kind of crime. that s going to be done by the special counsel. senator blumenthal, let s talk about the foreign picy that have unfolded over the last two days or so the president at the g7 essentially walking away from a commune kay, and his advisers going on television to provide further negative comments about the prime minister of canada. take a look and then we will talk about it. there s a special place in hell in any foreign leader that engaged in bad faith diplomacy with donald trump, and then tries to stab him on the back on the way out the door, and that s what trudeau did with the press conference, and that comes right
make that clear. there s no evidence of collusion. the republicans have been repeating that over and over and over again. do you think democrats first of all, i should get you to say whether or not you belief there is evidence of collusion, and do you think democrats are pushing a message on this front strong enough? there is evidence of collusion, kasie. just take the meeting at trump tower involving the president s son and son-in-law and campaign manager who were there on the promise with the expectation they would receive dirt from hillary clinton from a russian agent, so there is evidence of collusion in that meeting, in the guilty plea document involving george papadopoulos, and in various other very specific and public evidence,
