honored that recusal with regard to matters pending the department of justice, but i just want to comment on what may have been on anybody else s mind or offer any opinion about that because it s not for me to make those decisions. well, it is exactly, i think, why senator schatz asked a whole series of questions about the scope of recusal, because i am a lawyer. senator schatz may not be. he asked better questions than i did, but i also am having real difficulty understanding the scope of the recusal, its contours in definition, and i have an unresolved question about whether or not that s why the attorney general failed to appear before us today, is to avoid having to answer direct questions about the scope of his recusal. i do appreciate and respect your appointment of a highly talented special counsel, and there have been questions from both sides that imply strong support for his independence and his conduct, and i appreciate the care with which you are answering my questio ....

they did not defund planned parenthood. they definitely don t want to build a border wall. but now almost ten months into the republican congress, top republicans on capitol hill have finally found an issue they can really rally around. preserving president obama s immigration policy. the trump administration has announced that next tuesday will decide the fate of daca, the obama era program which apparently illegally gives work permits to illegal immigrants who arrived in the country as children. killing that program would fulfill one of the term campaigns promise. it would also fit with the republican party s stated position against amnesty and in favor of enforcing the law rather than granting politicized immunity. scrambling to preserve daca. this morning in a radio interview, speaker paul ryan begged the president to keep the program in place until congress can pass a bill granting amnesty to the illegal immigrants daca covers. i actually don t think you should do that.
