"One of the worst classified briefings we have received from the Trump Administration,"

trump is trying to payback putin by lessening sanctions on a Russian oligarch. Congress can block this and tried to find out what was going on. See https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/democrats-set-to-grill-mnuchin-on-easing-of-some-russia-sanctions-1423156291505

She may be rattled because of the implications . . . .

That the GOP want to do business with Russia after they attacked our country, helped steal an election, etc.
