I think its important to note that this was in the regular course of his work on armed services. He met 25 times with ambassadors last year. The day after this meeting, he met with the Ukranian ambassador. The meeting was in his senate office with two defense policy staffers--meaning, this wasn't some secret. It was in the Russell building. We aren't going to do any interviews at this point. He's said the entire time (on the record)--if he needs to recuse himself from something he will.

I'm going to assume the NBC Alert about the AG meeting with the Russian Ambassador during the campaign is accurate but is there anything about the reporting I've seen thus far that you want to push back on? 2. Let's say I pitched you on an interview where Shane Smith, my big big boss, interviews the Attorney General. What would be your reaction to that? 3. Is the AG going to recuse himself from any involvement in the federal investigation into Russia influencing the election? 4. Will the AG resign? 5. If you need me to send this email to a DOJ emaIl address, please tell me.
