Congresswoman, i have been briefed on the special counsels investigation. Do you believe the involvement of the hostile foreign entities interfering with the elections is more severe than the false representation of voter fraud in elections . Do you believe that a foreign interference with electionis is more severe . Congresswoman, i think foreign interference in our election system in the United States is a very serious and ongoing concern. I also believe that voter fraud is a serious concern. After you left office, you pursued a series of other political offices, one of which is the United States senate. Yes or no, if during the pursuit of that office a hostile foreign power contacted you to offer dirt on your opponent which at the same time included other candidates such as steve king and now senator joni ernst, would you have contacted the fbi . Congresswoman, im not here to answer hypothetical questions. Im here for an oversight hearing. I dont believe you have the responsibility

Hearing mueller say that was a moment in history and makes us wonder what President Trump and his administration heard. Because just listen to them. We consider this very much to be case closed. He said the case is done. And president tweeting those same words. The operative words. The case is closed. Thank you. Case closed . Well thats not what mueller said, right . Because mueller was Crystal Clear that the ball is now in congresss court. The constitution requires a process other than the criminal Justice System to formally accuse a sitting president of wrong doing. And thats it. A process other than the criminal Justice System. That was mueller. That process, other than mueller, and charging a sitting president is congress. And as for why mueller did not charge trump with a crime when nearly 1,000 former doj prosecutors
