drafting, that there s literally a trillion-dollar hole in the thing. can you be confident they re not going to pass something that has some massive, massive error at the heart of it? no, i think that s exactly right. and after all of their criticism of read the bill, which by the way i think is always a legitimate thing to ask of your legislator. did you read the bill? and it is true that you ve got to work with staff for them to help you interpret certain aspects of the bill. sometimes they re referring to a different part of the u.s. code. so i get that it s technical and sometimes it s a gotcha question. but let s be clear. there literally is no bill text. this isn t just a matter of the individual member not poring over 500 pages. staff hasn t seen it. it s not available because it isn t written yet. so the one thing i wanted to add is that it is a miracle that democrats and the resistance across the country have been able to make this so close. a lot of people i think had a rou
nondisclosures, omissions seem to be a pattern for jared kushner. we know he left off that meeting with the russian lawyer on the security clearance form. there s now an e-mail chain on wikileaks, russian back door overtour, communications with michael flynn that the senate judiciary committee is asking about. yet kushner s lawyer says he has been completely cooperative. do you agree? he has. abby said they re asking gotcha questions. in the press, we use that term. a lot of people don t know what a gotcha question is. it is a question designed just to embarrass somebody in the political system as opposed to legitimately get information. lowell s contention is they complied to the specific requests given for relevant documents. he also says technically jared kushner s answer was accurate
testimony before congressional investigators, they say he told the senate judiciary committee that he personally had not had any contact with wikileaks during the campaign. he also said he could not recall anyone else on the campaign having contact with wikileaks. the senate judiciary committee earlier this week published a letter in which they say specifically that jared kushner not only received an e-mail detailing his contact with wikileaks, but then forwarded that as well. that letter signed by dianne feinstein and chuck grassley also claims that jared kushner failed to provide them with certain key documents they requested. some of them specifically pertaining to wikileaks. the attorney for jared kushner abby lowell put out a statement saying senators are asking gotcha questions. here s what he told us. this is a classic gotcha question. mr. kushner was asked if he has contacts with wikileaks.
what this latest revelation does, don, is it turns up the pressure for kushner to go back to capitol hill for more interviews and to explain himself. we heard yesterday from the leaders of the senate judiciary committee who sent a public letter to kushner s lawyer saying that kushner had failed to turn over documents that they know exist, and that includes information about wikileaks, don. so what about kushner and his camp? are they responding? what are they saying? they are. abbey lowell, his attorney says that the wikileaks question is a gotcha question. he adds that, quote, in over six hours of voluntary testimony mr. kushner answered all questions put to him and demonstrated that there had been no collusion between the campaign and russia. and lowell, by the way, also disputes the judiciary committee s letter accusing kushner of not turning over documents. he also says that the senate judiciary committee should ask other congressional committees for their transcripts of their
this was uttered during the rally, i love wikileaks, it s amazing that nothing is secretive when you talk about the internet. well, it s true and it seems that s come back to bite he and his advisers. i don t know how people can go to congress and say something without realizing that there s hard evidence that disputes what they ve said. this is the weakest washington we ve seen in years. you know, everything gets out. and i think the lawyers are really taking the wrong tact here. classic gotcha question. seems like a pretty simple question, did you have contacty do you know if anyone in the campaign had contact? i wonder if they re wondering what the definition of is is. it s ridiculous. they were dealing with chaos get, how likely this is inadvertent that he really did not know at that time or remembered this e-mail that he passed on?
