it's enormously important, and one thing we've been focussing on is we've been hearing a lot about people who are coming before the committee and what we've seen is the importance of the document record, of the texts, of the memos of the things they put down on pavement maybe that's metaphorical, too. digital stuff. that's proving to be just as important. in terms of the lawmakers, i think you're referring to the "new york times" piece that details really a tremendous detail what these guys did and how far they were willing to go. i think it's enormously important. i think you've heard members of the committee say, one, we're trying to make sure this doesn't happen again, and, two, we're going to take this wherever it goes, even if it means politician some of our own mess. you saw in the aftermath of a couple of the meadows' text coming out, saw a lot of glum faces on the house republican side of the chamber and it may be sinking in that some who thought they were texting the chief of staff it's going to be revealed. >> let me just read a line from this fantastic "new york times."
