what tom friedman wrote late today from the "new york times." there is overwhelming evidence that our president for the first time in our history is deliberately or through gross negligence or because of his own twisted personality engaged in treasonous behavior that violates his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. trump vacated that oath today and republicans can no longer run and hide from that fact. every single republican lawmaker will be and should be asked on the election trail. are you with trump and putin or with the cia, fbi, and nsa. because a number of people voiced that sentiment that what we witnessed violated the oath that all of our presidents swear to. a reminder of the words our presidents repeat with the hands on the bible. >> please raise your right hand and repeat after me. i donald john trump do sell emly swear. >> i donald john trump do solemnly swear. >> that i will faithfully execute. >> that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states and will t

. >> so this morning in the "new york times," columnist tom friedman writes this. quote, every single republican lawmaker will be and should be asked on the election trail, are you with trump and putin or are you with the cia, fbi and nsa. so i will ask you, congressman? are you with trump and putin war the cia, fbi, and nsa? >> i think that's a dangerous statement to make. members of congress are part of democracy. the intelligence community is a creature of congress. i don't think we want elected officials to say i'm with the intelligence community. i'm with the intelligence community and i have voted so on the intelligence committee and have sent to the president of the united states a statement that russia meddled for the purposes of damaging hillary clinton, all things which he disagrees with but it's a dangerous road to go down in a democracy to say we're going to elevate the intelligence community among our democratic institutions. >> in april you and your fellow members of the house intelligence committee released your final report on part of your more than

>> well, i heard your interview of tom friedman, who also says he sometimes agrees with the president, sometimes the president's right. but his team on foreign policy, by and large, certainly, i think dan coats, jim mattis, full disclosure, i serve on mattis' defense policy board, and pompeo are strong. and i think they buffer him in good ways. what's missing here is the lack of process. if there were a good process, i think we would have much better statements on the front end and, you know, somebody said that trump asks all the right questions, he just doesn't have the right answers. we need a better strategy. and it's painful. and every one had aspen said this in different ways, to see america's preeminence as the leader of the free world eroding in various ways. you don't have to think america is the policeman of the world to think america's role, its moral role, the city on the hill, the ronald reagan phrase, is very important. and it's been all throughout our lifetimes. and if it goes away, it's a tragedy. >> jane harman, david chalian, thank you both very much. >> thank you. >>

thanks so much, tom friedman. >> pleasure. >>> next, trolling trump.he message one newspaper sent to the president as he arrived for that controversial summit in helsinki. >>> plus, putin puts the ball in trump's court. -i've seen lots of homes helping new customers bundle and save big, but now it's time to find my dream abode. -right away, i could tell his priorities were a little unorthodox. -keep going. stop. a little bit down. stop. back up again. is this adequate sunlight for a komodo dragon? -yeah. -sure, i want that discount on car insurance just for owning a home, but i'm not compromising. -you're taking a shower? -water pressure's crucial, scott! it's like they say -- location, location, koi pond. -they don't say that. it's like they say -- location, location, koi pond. introducing e*trade personalized investments professionally managed portfolios customized to help meet your financial goals. you'll know what you're invested in and how it's performing. so you can spend more time floating about on your inflatable swan.

present company aside, one of the most prominent columnist in america tom friedman on the other network traitor. toto, we are are not in kansas anymore. but the point i'm trying to make in this novel, is that when vladimir putin interferes in our election, when he meddles in brexit to try to weaken the european union and britain, when he conducts acts of murder on british soil. i mean, twice in 12 years they have utilized a weapon of mass destruction on british soil, he's not making this stuff up. he's reaching into a very old kgb playbook called active measures. it's exactly the types of things that the kgb, under lenin and stalin, going back to the earliest days of the soviet union. you know, soviet union and the new russia are paranoid and aggressive at the same time. it's a really dangerous combination. and they've always reached out to try to affect, shape the battlefield beyond their borders and med untdle in our politics. they've been doing this for a long time, and quite frankly, they're very good at it. >> you mentioned you had grown up in a military town. >> yeah. >> the post-
