isn t it? he is not supporting manchin toomey. the irony is he sat there at the table while he berated manchin and toomey for essentially being in the pocket of the nra, but he is not supporting their legislation that even rise to that level. exactly there was a lot of bold talk. and you re right. we ve seen total retreat, total retreat. okay. i want to ask you a broader question about this. i guess the question is i watched that meeting, and i thought to myself, none of this means anything. i ve wamped this happen four times. are you going to do another one of these meetings? what does the president s word count for? what does it mean? i think there are two things. on guns, i ll tell you where i m going go, because i represent newtown. if there is even a tiny chance. you still feel that way? if is there a tiny chance that he flip-flops back into doing something, i ve got to fight for the people i represent. and for the people in america who have been waiting five years f
the president can t even support that that is the most basic number one thing law enforcement is asking for. that was in manchin toomey, isn t it? he is not supporting manchin toomey. the irony is he sat there at the table while he berated manchin and toomey for essentially being in the pocket of the nra, but he is not supporting their legislation that even rise to that level. exactly there was a lot of bold talk. and you re right. we ve seen total retreat, total retreat. okay. i want to ask you a broader question about this. i guess the question is i watched that meeting, and i thought to myself, none of this means anything. i ve wamped this happen four times. are you going to do another one of these meetings? what does the president s word count for? what does it mean? i think there are two things. on guns, i ll tell you where i m going go, because i represent newtown. if there is even a tiny chance. you still feel that way?
and go kind of above and beyond. and this report really, it s a farce in so many ways. it s a farce in its conclusions about what happened, given that they allowed witnesses to come in and refuse to answer questions with no follow-up, no subpoenas, no attempt to hold anyone in contempt. and it s a farce in claiming putin wasn t trying to elect trump. not just because the intelligence community has concluded otherwise, but grand jury of 23 average americans pamping in the mueller investigation returned an indictment that said explicitly the russians were trying to elect donald trump. they re ignoring that evidence completely. they are giving you that is basically the line that we heard from vladimir putin the other day. it s not the russian government. these may be other individuals. he even use kind of a slur to describe who those individuals might be. julia, one of the issues here, one of the people they talked to is one small example of the house intel committee s inquiry is one
robert mueller or tries to answer written questions, that s what they wanted. and that will be the end. they start to wrap it up. they really keep telling the president just a few more weeks and we ll have an answer. and even if we see other trials, they ll go ahead and say the president is free of my wrongdoing. yet here we are in mid-march, and the probe seems to be getting bigger. we know mueller is looking at the seychelles meeting and a new report from bloomberg today says the obstruction case could be on hold because mueller thinks it s so important to get cooperation from other witnesses that he wouldn t want to pull back on any of that cooperation by moving too quickly with obstruction. which means there is more that he wants to get from people who are part of that obstruction case and that there is really a strategy here. and it s a strategy in a case that didn t looesn t look like coming to an end any time soon. and it s even widening to include foreign business dealings of j
but then, their work is not done. because the committee, just because it stopped this investigation, i don t think we should conclude that they re done messing around in this space. nunes has made it very clear he is off looking at the state department now. going to try to find some way to show that allies of clinton were somehow colluding with the russian there s. another claim we didn t touch on that this claim makes is it was the clinton campaign with the russians to elect, i don t know, elect donald trump i guess. they re not done. if this committee keeps kind of running interference for the president and his legal team, which i think they are, adam schiff and the democrats on this committee are going to have to keep pointing out when the facts don t add up. and julia, the mueller investigation really doesn t look like it s wrapping up right now. you ve been reporting about this expansion and the expansion into the seychelles meeting. they do not seem like they ve basically figur
