the story of watergate that up until that time they had tuned out. and it involved actually having real people and a real investigation too. up until now, that's something i have to say that congress has really lost a lot of investigative capacity even that was there when congressman dent first came into office. i mean, you know, there used to be legendary investigators on capitol hill. they weren't just sending political letters to people. they had people who could actually turn up new information and new facts and get witnesses who could build a story in the way that great investigative reporters can. and i haven't seen any of that really coming out of this congress. what we talk about as a congressional investigation is basically like a political letter that is tweeted out the second that somebody writes a news story. >> yeah. that's got to be the last word. susan glasser, thank you for helping us with the breaking news. charlie dent, brian stelter. manu, thank you as well. i appreciate it. if you look at your screen, the house panel to take up formal steps on impeachment probe next week. we'll continue on right after the break.
