To include a couple of presidential contenders. we've got amy klobuchar and senator cory booker on the panels today, assumie ining thew up. they will press him on this key finding that there was no fbi plot to sabotage the trump campaign. that is, in fact, the key takeaway. it says this -- the inspector general -- and i'm reading now from the report -- found no documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or motivation influenced the decisions to open the investigation. republicans, though, will press him on that same finding. so you've got lindsey graham, who you well know leads th...

Seem to have everything that's been a response to everything that the democrats have done. they announced impeachment charges, michael horowitz report. bill barr is out there. articles are introduced. horowitz testifies today. on one hand they get exactly what they want. they create sort of confusion about mueller, the obsession to get trump. that story is out there. it seems as if this is part of a strategy the way the trump administration has used the government to respond to impeachment. >> last night in hershey, pennsylvania, i was there, covering president trump's rally. he talked about t...
