when you talk about the standard for a crime and i've spoken a lot with professor alan dershowitz abouthis thing that's what we're talking about because if you talk to the russians or had a white russian at a bar, [laughter] on any given night, it seems as though you are now a suspect but it's going to take a whole lot more than that isn't it susan? >> i think so. i mean, where does the trail go from here? there's no evidence that george passed this information along to anybody in the trump campaign. can they get more out of him on this? it's not clear, but i think in congress what you're going to see is maybe a couple of revelations in the coming months , first i'm told that they may come up with, you know, how close was the collusion between trump russia but first they may get into how much influence did the russians have on this election? so i think we may hear two outcomes. trish: don't go anywhere we've got lots more to talk about as we get ready to ring in the new year what will be the biggest stories of 2018? we're looking ahead and i've got more with the panel we'll see trish: t
