So we havent had a chance to digest it. But the Attorney General in his Confirmation Hearings was very clear with a oneword answer when asked by a senator whether he had contact with the russians in any way, shape, or form. He said no, period. No condition, no modification. So obviously that turns out to not be accurate there is no reason to believe that Jeff Sessions in the Confirmation Hearing was trying to hide something. He may simply have forgotten. But it does mean two things. Number one, ...

His committee chairman to launch this investigation into the manhattan district attorney and demand his testimony before backs investigation has concluded. tell us more about the vibe going on at capitol hill right now. law >> he defended it because he has publicly encouraged his committee chairs to do whatever they could to investigate and to look into it. so what is interesting is, especially at -- pam, someone like you who understands we, a recent string of the, law the way, particularly the ...

These are huge leaps. all it would be doing is sending a signal essentially down the street to the justice department, saying this is something we want. ultimately, the appointment of a second special council be a decision made at doj, not made in the halls of congress. what you have here is a group, some in the freedom caucus, some not, essentially forming a trump caucus here. to say we are sticking up for our president by pursuing this resolution which, again doesnt actually force any action. ...
