Indeed...'What was he supposed to say?'...given that a GOP-led Senate Intel Committee found that his

Campaign Manager, Paul Manafort, had turned over internal polling data to a Putin operative, Konstantin Kilimnik.

Think about that...if you've got the courage.

btw, IMO that wasn't a negotiating session...it was an "Order Taking" session...with NO other American Official in the room...or notes taken to give to our Intelligence community....this is documented fact.
