Strategist. good morning to all. i want to start with this investigation at the pentagon into potentially if russia was involved or attempted to cover up this chemical attack. is there any plausible explanation for that russian drone being over the hospital where some of the victims were being treated hours after the chemical attack beyond some involvement or attempt to cover this up with the information that we know that soon after the drone was there, there was a bomb that was dropped onto that hospital. >> if you were a conspiracy theorist you would say one led to the other. i'm not sure th...

Reporter's privilege? >> senator, i know those cases come up from time to time. your description of the case is accurate. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> before we recess, i'd like to enter into the record a commentary in the chicago tribune called "crying wolf over neil gorsuch." it turns around concerns over chevron deference.
