she could not pass the senate bill. those were pretty dark days. we were discussing how we would go forward, and it just became clear to me that he shouldn t go forward. without republican votes, it s going to hurt him politically, and that was more important to me than passing the bill. by then, all the negative advertising and all the negativity about it had really started to bring down the popularity of doing anything. it just looked like it was not going to pass, and it if it failed, that would be a disaster for him. the president said, i want to bring everyone together one more time. i want to try one more time to explain what we re trying to do, to talk about the problems and see if we can get support. the last meeting he had in february of 2010 was a bipartisan meeting at the warehouse, which was televised. he brought the leadership to sit down together and make one last

hold on a second. i don t want to get too far away from the point. what don t you agree with, ken? i don t agree with jennifer that he shouldn t go forward with the meeting. oh, okay. i do believe that an indictment like this demands it be part of the agenda. yeah. but it doesn t mean you have to cancel the meeting. jennifer, don t you guys i want to talk about this with senator blumenthal also. i don t understand why you re saying this so help me understand it. it seems like you get what you want either way. if he goes there and speaks truth to power and owns the russian meddling in a way we ve never seen him do before, you get what you say you want. if he doesn t do that or somehow vladimir putin is willing to show that he never did that and has a very different understanding, you still get what you want because then trump is exposed as someone who backed down from putin. so why wouldn t you want the meeting to go forward? are you talking to me? yeah. ken would lo
