investigate this and oh, my god how could president obama have done this to president trump, and they were quiet, with the ni microphones except f microphones except for john mccain and lindsey graham. the question is why would the president want congress to spend money investigating a question to which he has the answer by virtue of his tweet? and can make that public any old time he wants. let s talk turkey here. this is a president on a twitter storm clearly angry about the way that his staff had handled things, deciding to take things into his own hands and try to change the subject, who knows, probably divert attention from russia, all of the above. and sean spicer was asked and this because he hasn t shown any evidence. imagine if he had evidence of this action by the former president it would be the biggest political story in 50 years or so and he would want to put it out there and we will wait to see what he does. i think they are hoping this does become like groundh ....
reporter: certainly. that will be a challenge for some of them especially in districts where the president is very popular. if members did not side with him on this. i think the big question right now is will it get to the floor? that s a decision that doesn t reside in the white house. it s really a decision for the majority leaders of the republicans, kevin mccarthy a long with the speaker, they run the floor. if they believe it is sort of a doomed bill, they ve got to make a calculation about tip typically you could see them not put it on the floor with that political exposure for each and every member to be recorded on something that went nowhere. that s typically how this goes. we saw the president saying he wanted a vote. that was a point of leverage. in the time we ve been talking about this and when we ve been updating our own whip counts and describing the mood and the atmosphere, i can assure you, if there were people in leadership who thought we had that wrong, they ....
if the administration was standing by that tweet which sean spicer said the president is, then why could congress then need to investigate if this information already exists? the press secretary talked a little bit about the issu i have to listen to the vshage again, the transcript, but he talked about credibility and the idea there is a separation of powers as well. we also talked a little bit about the idea that hey we are in tax season, tax day is just over month away. will the president release his returns from this most recent year? the president secretary said he would got back to us. and then is the president still under audit for past returns? the press secretary confirming he indeed is. a separation of powers, and they don t want to be perceived as directing congress to investigate in a certain way. harold ford is this going to dog them much longer? it will. the question by halle and the other young lady spelled i out. i think the health care the governors will be the ....

election, haven t provided anything to lead me to believe or should lead you to believe, and i continue to see reports coming from media sources saying when they checked in with law enforcement or intelligence community sources. there s nothing more than has been previously reported over and over again. so at some point you do have to ask yourself what are you actually looking for? how many times do you have to come to the same conclusion before you take the answer? that s what i m saying. mara? just to follow-up, did you personally reach out i m not going to say what we discussed internally. we did our job about making sure that when people had reporters had questions, we let them know what subject matter experts were available to discuss the accuracy of a newspaper story. mara? i m sure people will come back to the budget question, which is during the campaign, the president said he was not going to touch medicare, social security. treasury secretary repeated that. sou ....
