But well find out what the ig report says. i think that illegal leaks always are going to attract attention regardless of which side is doing them, if theres any kind of plightization here, i -- politicization here, i doubt it. the leaking was so apparent, so obvious, it was going to attract attention. howie: therefore, there was an investigation, but again, no charges were ever brought. the mainstream media are going crazy over this, saying it has watergate overtones. the probe did go through t...

Subpoenaed members of congress and their stats and acquiring the data, when the house subpoenaed donald trump and people in his orbit, they basically successfully stalled for years in court. they got the supreme court to more or less ratify a gutting of that house subpoena power while the executive was able to go in and get the phone records from apple. >> thats a great point, chris. they put themselves as a co-equal branch on higher ground than us. and they stymied our investigation into don mc...
