with a one-on-one between the two leaders, jim. i m sure the russians do like the idea of putin and president trump meeting head-to-head. cnn s fred pleitgen, thank you very much. joining me now, jake sullivan. he is a foreign policy expert who has served as a top adviser to both hillary clinton and joe biden. jake, let me ask you, this republican delegation that went over to moscow, it was interesting to hear senator kennedy say, and he s a sound bite machine, just put quarters in him and he spits them out. but he was saying that he told the russians to stay out of our elections. that s something that donald trump could take a lesson from. it would be nice if he would step up and do the same thing, coming from the lips of the commander in chief. but it looks like for now we ll have to rely upon members of congress to carry that message of highest levels of the russian government. and what do you make of this intelligence committee report coming out of the senate today. it s so u
