America Has A Critical Role To Play

We Know That Russia Was Involved In Hacking Our Democracy. We Know That The Evidence Or Information Is Sufficient To Warrant An Fbi Investigation Of This. We Are Trying To Do As Much Of This As We Can In The Public Eye Transparently. Obviously, Some Of It Will Have To Be Done In Closed Session.

Whether We Kept A Certain Number Of Troops There Or Pulled Out Completely, If We Can't Get The Maliki Government To Include A Large Segment Of Its Population In Its Security Forces And Protection, Then The Small Amount Of Forces That We Would Have Left There Might Have Slowed This Day, But They Wouldn't Have Prevented It Altogether.

A Tremendous Number Of People Come To The Country Legally, But Overstay Their Visas. And There Has To Be A Far Stronger Mechanism For Being Able To Track Down People, Have Overstayed Their Visas, To Have A Responsibility For Who They're Coming To Visit Or Stay With.

That Bomb That Took Down That Russian Airliner May Have Been The Size Of A Soda Can. And That Bomb Killed More People Than All The Paris Attackers Combined. So This Is Still A Grave Threat.

It Was An Echo Of Director Comey's Testimony That Trump Showed No Curiosity, No Interest, No Concern Over The Russia Hack. The Only Element Of It That Concerned Him Was How It Might Impact Him Personally. That Says, I Think, A Lot About Where The President Is Coming From, But It Was Quite Jarring Given This Was An Attack On Our Democracy By A Foreign Power.
