Monday. >> sean: redacted and declassified? >> the president absolutely should unredacted and declassify these documents so that the country can move forward. and hopefully john huber who has been charged with this by attorney general jeff sessions is actually doing his job, because that is his job. to investigate. that was what was promised. >> sean: we need him, we could use cory booker on this. >> the john huber investigation i am convinced is nothing more than window dressing. it is not a le...
