Trying to repeal health care and keep doing it until we reach whatever it is you want. We know what it is you want with a special committee. We understand that thoroughly. Earlier today, i want to make a comment that one of my friends on the other side of the aisle, i deeply regret this, signed a report claiming that the democrats were fundraising off of the class republican fundraising off benghazi. We looked into that because i was very concerned because i was the one making the charge about the fundraising and its absolutely false that democrats are doing that. The report was from a conservative web site and all they found was that the chairman of the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee Posted a statement on his web site condemning the republican Campaign Committee to fund raise off the tragedy in benghazi. So lets stick to the facts here. We are going to continue as i understand it, several reporters asked the leadership do they intend to stop fund raising off these peoples d
Clear that it is not going to be a circus or political because they are concerned republicans have too much power and democrats will get shut out and it will be political . I had a conversation with the minority leader yesterday and made clear this is a serious and investigation that we want to Work Together to get to the truth. I think the 75 split is fair. Frankly fairer than her Global Warming committee she set up. If i may, from their perspective, its not so much about the ratio its about the power that the democrats have or dont have from their perspective. Ms. Pelosi and i had a conversation about how the committee would operate. There are further conversations that are continuing on that issue. Speaker boehner, do you a and speaker boehner, do you a response to the president s Global Warming report that came out yesterday . No. Im not going to get into a debate over the science here. It just strikes me that every proposal that democrats have to deal with the issue of Climate Cha

Recognizing israels capital. Lets begin with the apparent disarray with the president s legal team right now as the russia investigation clearly intensifies. President trumps personal lawyer sparking a fierce debate after suggesting that the president cant obstruct justice because he is the president. A white house lawyer contradicting that statement saying that wouldnt be his defense and insisting they would be relying on the facts to defend the president of the United States. Clearly there are dramatic developments unfolding in this investigation. That has been very, very apparent for sometime. It appears to be escalating. Joining us with excellent reporting on all of this, whats the latest . Ty cobb, the president s lawyer who is dealing directly with the special counsels office is saying what john dowd is partner in this. Saying thats not a legal strategy.

The former eagles wide receiver torrey smith now with the panthers said its not true that some equalals players didnt stand for the anthem. He tweeted, if you are going to tweet, tweet fact.
