their participation in the 2016 election, it was bizarre to see a current employee of merrick garland s justice department say nothing. i mean there wasn t even a note of it would be very serious for a hostile foreign power to intervene. i mean how how daunting is that ahead of another presidential election that republicans and john durham whatever party he s in these days, are all interested in fogging up the lens around russia s role in meddling in an election? i mean it is really alarming because, of course, there s no question that russia may try to do exactly this again. that is decide donald trump would be really good for them and they re going to intervene. and now with a.i. they have more powerful tools to be able to do that. but it is shocking. some very basic questions we asked him about the wrongfulness trying to get dirt from a hostile foreign power in that trump tower meeting, heole really shied away from giving
