that present? i think the danger going forward is that we don t know what happened in that meeting. trump has been fairly consistent in his behavior here, but it s very clear there are two things, don. first is president trump s inability to disassociate meddling in the election with his own worries of collusion. and what bothers me there is basically we re saying he can t put the core interests of the national security first. and the second is he thinks something s out there. i don t think putin was actually showing him the videotape or anything controversial at the time. i think he believes something s out there and until he does he s going to continue to kowtow to putin s desire there. republican congressman tray gowdy was not happy with trump vi inviting putin to the white house. he says the administration should consider quitting his
