to russia and putin, former kgb agent, the future of this country. keep in mind that it was the military who put out the department of defense put out a document not more than seven months ago that said russia is the principle adversary of the united states and here s the president standing next to that adversary who is documented, not only by the intelligence agency but by the mueller investigation in what the president calls a witch hunt and mueller found 25 russian witches who have involved themselves in the american election process illegally. so what did the president do? he simply abandoned the field and gave putin everything he could possibly want. no wonder the russians are crowing about the success. they have an american president in the palm of their hand. congressman john garamandi, thanks very much for those direct thoughts. any moment now president trump
itself undermines the integrity of our democracy and the protection of our free and fair elections, which is more sacred than being a republican or a democrat. congressman costello, i want to thank you for taking the hard questions and for speaking honestly. appreciate you having me on, jim. best luck to you. coming up next, she s a russian national now charged by the justice department with being a foreign agent who conspired against the united states. so what do we really know about her, her role in russia s election interference, and how she operated? that s coming up. your paycheck.
is going to address his controversial summit with the russian president vladimir putin. his first time speaking out. we ll take it live. that s next. friends, colleagues,
speaker of the house should have named names. this is the president who failed us. the speaker failed us by not naming the president here and hanging it directly on the president. we ve heard some critical comments from sitting lawmakers, republican lawmakers i should say. certainly a number of democratic lawmakers. when you speak to your republican colleagues privately, do they tell you that they re willing to act now legislatively to react to the president s comments, for instance bypassing further economic sanctions against russia, sanctions that the president cannot stand in the way of? absolutely we should do that. we ll see if they have the courage to come up with these additional sanctions. there also ought to be a censure motion. this action by president trump is not repeated anywhere in the history of the 44 previous presidents. none of them have so abandoned their oath of office as to literally turn over to russia the investigation, to turn over
equivalency? i think the question over why the president treats russia the way that he does is something that is curious is too innocent of a word in the sense that it just doesn t make sense. i don t know why. i was listening to your panel a moment ago. does putin have something on the president? i don t know. what did they talk about for two hours? i don t know. but all these things come to life, and more substance getting put behind them when he acts this way. but even more to the point, i do hope senator corker does bring forth administration officials next week to ask about if any deal was made with putin. i do think that we should protect the mueller investigation. but i would also highlight that in our congress, we have put more sanctions on russia in the past few years than the previous several administrations.
