00:00I mean, these are issues of potential national security.
00:02You have to cover them, especially in light of...
00:04How is that, though?
00:05Excuse me?
00:06How is it an issue of potential national security?
00:08Well, I think the efforts...
00:09What is the basis for saying that?
00:10How is it an issue of potential national security?
00:21Well, I think the efforts...
00:22What is the basis for saying that?
00:23The efforts by and on behalf of Russia to interfere in the election and what they may
00:29have tried to do, whom they may have tried to cultivate in furtherance of their efforts
00:34are very important questions.
00:36Regardless of who won the election and how Hillary Clinton handled herself and handled
00:41her campaign, it's all irrelevant to the questions of Russian interference.
00:45That's not true.
00:46Of course they are.

00:57You're talking...
00:59I'm not talking exactly about that.
01:00I think one of the reasons that this meeting is so troubling is because what the president
01:04had called a hoax and a witch hunt is now demonstrably not that because Russian people
01:13reached out, and not like citizens, not like just good people from Russia, but a lawyer
01:18with very specific contacts reached out to his son with a solicitation of negative information
01:24about his political opponent.
01:26Right.
01:27And he's going to have this conversation for a month now.
01:28Either Duke, Tim, or whatever happened in the meeting happened.
01:30Shows it's not a witch hunt.
01:31Right, but what...
01:32No, no, no.
