and that is part of what the draft of mueller s report, i m told, is to be about. i ve asked you before on this broadcast, given your experience at cia and pentagon, especially, diminishing nato, that starts the list. what a return on a minimal investment, if it s all true for putin? resisting sanctions. undermining nato and other international institutions as you noted. also, the president took the word of the former kgb spy master in helsinki, vladimir putin, over the word of our own intelligence community. there are multiple instances and by the way, and the pullout of syria which is, of course, what drove secretary mattis to leave the pentagon, to resign. there are multiple instances where the president has shown he is enacting the most obsequious, most deferential, pro-putin policy in our nation s history and the question has to be why. of course, maybe he s a genius of american foreign policy.
