american and russian people to identify mutual interests and expand dialogue and cooperation that can pave the way to progress. >> laura: sounds pretty good. so, why is that thought now suddenly so subversive? because we have a republican president in the white house. by the way, republican president who is backing up the conciliatory talk, building bridges with tough sanctions, as well. the democrats have the midterms ahead of them. they are coming. barack obama and the democrats clearly fear that trump might succeed where they failed. that's "the angle." joining me now for reaction is glenn greenwald, cofounder of the intercept and a deep skeptic of the intel community. glenn, the hair on fire commentary by the former intel chief of today and yesterday is quite something. i want to play for you something that john brennan said this morning and get your reaction quickly. >> this is a big question, first of all, in terms of those who are on mr. trump's national security team, whether they can continue to serve in good conscious and individual who basically betrayed his nation. what mr. trump did yesterday was to betray

laura's absolutely right. the way to go about this if he really wants to cooperate and he really has information of value is tohannel of his attorney to the prosecutors and the investigators. >> i think we make a mistake sometimes to berman's point, this is a cry for help. communicating to donald trump through the medium of television and by appealing to trump's self interest through the fear of flipping. he's going to get the president's attention that way he knows. it speaks how disthe ended michael cohen feels from the president who has been his patron and really the court self definition for a long time. he has a lot of interest that may be important to prosecutors. >> that's a great point. but remember all the things he was saying. some things were contradictory to what the president said. the fbi not wanting to vilify them. not wanting to call the overall investigation a witch hunt. there may be a cry for help and signaling ribbing him in the rib cage and saying to himself, well, i'm not on your team entirely about all the things that you said. >> we want to move on to the latest in the scott pruitt epis
