i think also earlier last week, you saw secretary of homeland security kiersten nielson and vice presidente pence in new york hosting a cyber security conference where they made very clear cyber and election security were important priorities. the number one topic this calendar year by the main steam media on television is, in fact, russia. and the election. and yet, when the president said russian hoax, he's not talking about meddling, he's been clear, like he was clear in ohio thanks for playing the clip. when he says russia hoax, he means the investigation and some others on tv under oath wanting to suggest somehow the russia wrestling and we know that the judge in the manafort trial specifically instructed folks to not mention russia, trump or collusion. and trump. . >> brennan: i hear you and the message from the podium was very clear. which is why the question is why is the red not drawing the more clear distinction to what you just drew which was the difference between his election and the validity of it and questions around it and facts as presented by the national security team. ?
