rationalization here but basically what happened is this complaint goes over to the justice department, the justice department has to make a decision whether to open an investigation. and what they sort of lay out today, they did want think it warranted that. they didn't think it had reached that bar and they decided not to do that, not to move forward with it. but still what happened was the complaint was not transmitted to congress. it sort of remained within the administration, and they sort of held back on it. and obviously that now has created to them disclosing it because the perception of them holding onto it was so damning. >> michael schmidt, thank you for joining us on short notice. i appreciate it. >> just more on who else could be implicated in the white house administration next. be implicated in the white house administration next.
