"Mass Hysteria"

About what? About Russian interference in our elections.

U.S. intelligence officials are concerned about what Donald Trump might be revealing to the Russian leader, the way he revealed classified information to the Russian foreign minister when he met privately with him in the Oval Office at the beginning of his term.

Sending lethal arms to Ukraine, bordering Russia, is a really serious adverse action against the interest of the Russian government.

So is expelling Russian diplomats and imposing serious sanctions on oligarchs that are close to the Putin regime.

GLENN GREENWALD: That's because the reality is-and I don't know if Donald Trump knows this or doesn't know this, has stumbled into the truth or what-but the reality is that what the Russians did in 2016 is absolutely not aberrational or unusual in any way.

The United States interferes in Russian politics, and they interfere in their cyber systems, and they invade their email systems, and they invade all kinds of communications all the time.

Even if the Russians did everything that Robert Mueller claims in that indictment that they did, in the scheme of what the U.S. and the Russians do to one another and other countries, I think to say that this is somehow something that we should treat as a grave threat, that should mean that we don't talk to them or that we treat them as an enemy, is really irrational and really quite dangerous.
