Why and where did you get this information from. can you talk about anything else on that level, because weve interviewed over 300 people and i know things like meadows contempt and bannon contempt get a lot of attention as they should because they need to come in front of the peoples legitimately constituted inquiry into this stuff. but there is a lot of people that are giving us a lot of information and this could be a key piece to that. the reality is about a year ago now, and i cant believe ...
