the President got tired of me being the guy who had to tell him, no, Mr. President, you can't do that, it's illegal.
Russia has often employed malicious tactics against the U.S. and Europe to drive us apart, and serially harassing and intimidating diplomats are not the behaviors of a responsible nation.
We will see the world for what it is, be honest with ourselves and the American people, follow the facts where they lead us, and hold ourselves and others accountable.
