I know they’ve beaten Americans, yes. I think the Putin fan club wouldn’t care, though. I think there is a prevailing belief of some here now that Putin is pursuing America’s interest and is a swell fellow, certainly not a former KGB man.

I’m not a Putin fan-boy.

You make claims and I’m asking how you know things. Supposedly the Russians hacked the DNC - there is no evidence to suggest this, but it’s claimed.

There’s a story about one diplomat getting assaulted. Granted, one is to many, but you claim it’s many diplomats being assaulted.

You made the claim. I’m just asking how you know this.

I don't think we believe that. I think we believe that our national interests and Russia's national interests are aligned enough on some fronts that we can cooperate. Trump knows that, but Obama's anti-nationalist (unless you're Palestinian, of course.)
