And so thats interesting. they also say on a couple of occasions that he said something, and then when he was confronted with the fact he changed it. we cant ignore he is at the same time sending information back to the trump team as to what hes being questioned about in this investigation. so you have him lying, and you have obstruction and cooperation with the west wings team representing trump. thats significant. >> thats such a significant point you raise because theres been a lot of this th...
