trump for president campaign, corey lewandowski and rick dearborn both testified on the russia scandal, and like steve bannon yesterday, corey lewandowski, reportedly refused to answer some of the committee s questions today. that s part of how we know that something really important and something really different is going on when it comes to steve bannon and the mueller investigation and the russia scandal overall. yesterday, the big news we were trying to sort out last night is the fact that steve ban nonon w into that house intelligence committee, refused to answer questions and was hit with a subpoena to try to compel him to answer their questions. that s an unusual occurrence, and part of the reason we know how unusual that is is because corey lewandowski walked into that same committee. he also apparently refused to answer their questions, but they didn t subpoena him. there wasn t word that the committee demanded to have him back in to ask him the questions in a harsher ....
on the border detention centers to try and find some answers. now, every president, every party has left their fingerprints on the state of our immigration system today. the reagan administration s amnesty policy drew widespread backlash and still gives some nservatives pause today. the bush administration had its faults. the administration struggled to handle a spike in migrations amid mass deportations. but at the moment, the current administration is separating families from their children at our bor with mexico, not because of a law, but because this administration has chosen to do so. so far despite nearly 2000 children being separated from their families, what s missing from this story are a flood of images of these young children. it was images of children, after all, that spurred the president to change course in syria. so far, this young toddler has become the face of this policy. stop and look at her for just a moment. and remember that there are thousands thousa ....
