Important work of the department of justice. doj is on the front lines fighting the deadly, uncontrolled opioid epidemic, and it is still gaining strength. the doj hiring freeze risks the safety of correctional officers in our federal prisons, and curiously, the request for the federal bureau of investigation is less than congress provided for fiscal year 2017, even while the bureau conducts the crucial counterintelligence investigation into russian influence in our 2016 election process. while ...

In the process. they didnt think they would be dealing with president trump, they thought they would be dealing with an injured hillary clinton. they didnt like the way she was involved in discussions about mr. putins reelection. she department like the way the process was working and he made it clear and not afraid to let everyone know he was involved. he came in and sold the the world what they were doing. that message was sent to say leave my process alone and at the same time he let everybod...

Investigation within the committee and i think we will get to the bottom of how deep russia was involved in that election process. you satisfied with the sense of urgency in the trump administration and i tried to bring it up. senator manchin was questioning and he said the first he has heard about the threat was through the news media. as attorney general, you remember the national council to me told me its not coming up as a top tier threat in the trump administration. does that lack of urge...

Their collusion, based upon the evidence, there was no collusion. the fact that russia included the mic intruded into our election process should be troubling to everyone. nobody saying it didnt happen. >> tucker: im sick it didnt happen. theyre not 22 intelligence agencies in this country there are 17 and that includes the coast guard. not one person who was ever made that allegation to me has explained how they affected the outcome at all. they didnt have the election, they did alter the elect...
