comment and then you have the coverup where officials knowing that that statement to russian officials is something that should not be known by the public so they take extraordinary measures to keep it not just from the public but from other members of trump as own administration. and as we reported tonight, chris, my colleague pamela brown and i, that it was not limited to that meeting in the oval office. it was not limited to the steps they took after the ukraine president. they took similar steps after the president spoke to the russian president and after he spoke to the saudi crown prince. it it s a pattern of troublesome patterns with foreign leaders and to conceal those steps from other members of his administration. point, counterpoint. their argument is we have all different ways, if you don t
