This is the same guy who at the podium invited Russia to hack American records/files/computers to get more dirt on her 'cause the more the better no matter the source/treason involved. He was SO enthusiastic about it! Jumping up and down and clapping his hands with anticipation!The unknown source leaks that nailed Michael Flynn was evil and unconscionable and destroyed a very good man.Bullsh**!
