Norway Says "No Thanks."

[RoadRunner79]

I agree with much of what you say, and agree with those who advocate that someone in that position needs to be smarter and more careful about what they say (not one of Trump's strong suites).   I was trying to look up exactly what was said, and in what context, when I realized, that there wasn't any recording or text.  It was quotes from a closed door meeting of lawmakers.  

(emphasis added)

...as reported by Dick Durbin (D) and confirmed by LIndsey Graham ®.

When two tenured, prominent, respected members of congress from opposite sides of the aisle agree to the substance of comments made in a closed-door meeting, I see no reason to cast reasonable doubt on the substance of those comments.

I'm just getting into the story, but to my knowledge, they (Trump Administration) are not denying that those comments where made.

That isn't what I was contesting.  (unless you would like to turn it into a discussion about the epistemology of testimony... but we should probably start another thread if we want to do that).

Edit to add... thanks for the info though!
