Being compromised by the russians has escalated in the last couple days among those who i know you talked to in republican circles? >> i think it's certainly grown a little by but i think two big points will happen to change the game a little bit when michael cohen testifies in public. we'll learn a lot more about what's going on and right from cohen. it's going to be pretty much appointment viewing but the second thing is the mueller report. that will be probably the most important day in congress since probably the bank bailout in '08. if i'm in congress right now working for any member of t...
