Different people will take away different things, but I found it interesting that Trump sees Russian interference in the election only in terms of collusion, either with his campaign (No!) and Clinton's campaign (Yes!) He sees the whole investigation as a circus designed to de-legitimize his election. He never once mentions the ads that the Russians took out, with or without the help of the DNC or the RNC.
Another Q & A I found troubling:
SCHMIDT: You control the Justice Department. Should they reopen that email investigation?
TRUMP: What I’ve done is, I have absolute right to do what I want to do with the Justice Department. But for purposes of hopefully thinking I’m going to be treated fairly, I’ve stayed uninvolved with this particular matter.
Absolute right? Stay tuned...2018 will be an interesting year.
