in particular we were just talking about russia and what russia is going to do. there's statement from the national security counsel which essential says that given our intensified cooperation with russia after the boston marathon bombings that we really expect them to extradite snowden to the united states and let him face justice for the crimes for which he is charged. it's very clear that the u.s. is saying, look, there's going to be problems in a bilateral way with hong kong and china because of this and they're putting russia on notice here. they're dealing with this realtime. it's tough to talk to people in the administration when they are in the middle of this. it's clear they want to get out of it as quickly as they can and get this person and the american public is ambivalent about it. my question is when do we hear from the president?
