And the controlling law. Use of an obstruction theory from the Mueller Report would be unsupported, unsupportable in the house and unsustainable in the senate. Do you remember writing that . Yes, i do. Why did you write that . Because i think its true. The fact is that this was reviewed by main justice. The special counsel did not reach a conclusion on obstruction. He should have. I think his justification quite frankly was a bit absurd on not reaching a conclusion. But the attorney general, Dep...

Mr. Eisenberg, he told me to take my concerns to him.

[silence]. Now, turning attention to the ron johnson letter, if i may. Yes. On august 31st, Senator Johnson is getting ready to travel to the ukraine in september with murphy. Johnson called the president and sought permission to be the bearer of good news. Right. The president said i am not ready to lift the aid. Senator johnson, he writes a 10 page letter. Very detailed. He gives some remarkable details. I would like to read it. Its on page 6. This is Senator Johnson speak. I asked him whether...

Now behind him . I dont really know. He responded when i said get ahold of the secretary, he said i agree and i never knew whether he reached out to the secretary or not. That was sort of the end of that. At one point in your text you said lets get on the phone and you said you are an individual that doesnt like to walk through these issues on texts when you can talk about it on the telephone, correct . I say talk it on the telephone correct . I say that to everybody when something becomes more ...
