Blumenthal on Trump’s ‘Recklessness’: Americans Will Be ‘Alarmed, Astonished, Appalled’

BURNETT: "Your colleague senator corker, I just quoted him a moment ago just said, talking about the White House, quote, they’re in a downward spiral right now and have got to figure out a way to come to grips with what’s happening. How significant is that statement from Senator Corker?"
BLUMENTHAL: "That is profoundly significant because it reflects the conflicting and confusing statements which is why the White House now has to provide a full explanation to the American people. People are going to be alarmed, astonished, appalled by the recklessness and carelessness at best of this kind of talk with the Russians. Remember, there’s a common thread here. The Russian interference with our elections, the foundation of our democracy an existential threat to our nation and potential collusion between trump associates if not the president himself and those Russians. His firing of Director Comey when he was engaged in an investigation of that potential collusion. And then literally a day later this kind of disclosure."
