More about the student who launched an attack on the campus of Ohio State University. Ramming his car into a crowd of people, then jumping out of the car with a butcher knife. Slashing several more. At least nine were injured in the attacks. One remains in critical condition. Abdul Razak Ali Artan said to be between 18 and 20 years old, he is identified as the attacker seen here just months ago when he graduated from community college. Artan was a student at ohio state who lived in the area. He was a legal resident of somali descent. In an article that appeared recently in the school newspaper, artan said this. Im a muslim. Its not what the media portrays me to be. If people look at me, a muslim praying, i dont know what theyre going to think. Whats going to happen. But i dont blame them. Its the media that put that picture in their heads so theyre just going to have it, and its going to make them feel uncomfortable. I was kind of scared right now. Pamela brown is outfront outside the attackers home in columbus, ohio, and pamela, youre learning his facebook posts may indicate a possible motive . What are you hearing right now . Reporter thats right, were learning from Law Enforcement sources, kate, that just before the attack, the suspect posted on his Facebook Page grievances about attacks on muslims. Tonight, investigators are trying to figure out the motive and determine whether this was an act of terrorism. Around 9 52 a. M. , chaos erupts in the heart of the campus near buildings for the science and engineering programs. A car jumps a curb, plowing into pedestrians. Then the suspect identified as abdul Razak Ali Artan jumps out and continues to attack with a knife, slashing people. He exits the vehicle and used a butcher knife to start cutting pedestrians. Our officers was on scene in less than a minute and ended the situation less than a minute. He engaged the suspect and he eliminated the threat. The suspect is d. O. A. Reporter artan was an ohio state student of somali descent and permanent resident of the United States. Officials say he came to the United States in june of 2014. His mother told a Community Member that hed been complaining recently about grades at osu. He was interviewed at the beginning of the school year by the Student Newspaper and spoke of being uncomfortable openly praying and projecting his muslim faith on campus. Law enforcement Officials Say that on facebook, he complained about attacks on muslims. Investigators say it could be the motive but are continuing to investigate. As artan unleashed chaos on campus, a text message from the University Went out to all students telling them to shelter in place. A tweet from the universitys Emergency Management department told them to run, hide, fight. We did hear, like, three or four things that would sound like gunshots then we heard sirens come. So we assumed they were gunshots. Reporter students barricade their classroom doors in an effort to keep the attacker at bay. One class piled up chairs at the door. As Law Enforcement arrived on scene to try and contain the situation as quickly as possible. And we have learned from officials that there is an elaborate camera system on campus, and so investigators were able to pore through these cameras and determine that the suspect was in his vehicle alone, but tonight, investigators are speaking to any friends and family trying to piece together the why. Kate . A lot more to go through right now. Pamela brown in columbus, thank you so much. I want to go to cnns justice producer, shimon, youve been breaking a lot of news all throughout the day on this. Were learning much more about what the attacker told that Student Newspaper. What are you picking up . So, yeah, i mean, the student paper kind of gives authorities some sort of glimpse into his mind and what he was thinking. Aside from that, i can tell you that family that has spoken to authorities and to the Community Members has given indication he was having problems at school, whether it was grades or having a hard time fitting in. He did have some trouble fitting in. In the article for the school newspaper, he had complained that he couldnt really have he didnt have a place to pray. Let me read for you what he said. They quoted a short portion here. I wanted to pray in the open, but i was scared with everything going on in the media. Im a muslim, its not what the media portrays me to be. If people look at me, a muslim praying, i dont know what theyre going to think, whats going to happen is what he told this school paper. Certainly this has given some idea of what was going on in his head, what he was struggling with for Law Enforcement. Its probably an important piece to the puzzle along with the facebook and what the family has told authorities. Yeah, and a lot more of the puzzle to fit together right now. Getting somewhat of a glimpse of what was going on in his mind as you said. Shimon, thank you so much. Outfront with me now, art roderick, former assistant director of the u. S. Marshals service. Juliette kayaam. And retired nypd detective sergeant. Michael weiss, coauthor of isis inside the army of terror. When you look at the information before us, yes, theres much more were going to learn especially as it just happened this morning. You have 18, 20 years old of somali descent, in the u. S. As a legal resident. Used his car first, he had a knife. He got out to attack more people. You think all of this bears the hallna hallmark of isis, why . The hallmarks of isis. Until recently the spokesman of isis, he was just killed, essentially called upon muslims in the west to do this. He said not all of you are going to build sophisticated ieds. If you have a knife, take a knife, stab the infidel in the heart. Find a rock, smash his head in with a rock. We saw that to grisly effect in nice. Bearing the hallmarks of an isisstyle attack does not necessarily mean this is an isisstyle attack. Alienation, he felt imperiled by his muslim faith. Ive done a lot of profiles of isis jihadis, particularly those coming from the west. It usually starts this way. Theres a whole network in france where unemployment is very high and Muslim Population there says, look, as muslims and people of arab descent, we cant get jobs because all the white french guys get jobs. That is not the only motivating factor. Right. Lots of people feel, you know, disassociated from their society and they dont become jihadists. Its still way too soon to tell. Absolutely. Art, michael mentioned the attack in nice, france. I mean, this when you look at this, this is not a sophisticated attack that we saw play out today, but it does have eerily similar qualities to that attack on bastille day in nice, france. A car plowing through people in nice, he had a gun and he was able to kill 84 people. A knife in this circumstance. Do you draw comparisons here . I do, kate, and i mean, its also when you look at what happened in nice, france, and you look at San Bernardino, you look at orlando, and you look at the other shootings that weve had in the country that have been tied to terrorism, weather inspired, mainly inspired. I mean, there seems to be a lot of checks in the category that this seems to be heading in this particular direction. But there was a lot more planning involved in those other attacks. So i think were going to find a combination of disenfranchised youth having an issue at school, but also being a muslim and listening possibly or inspired by isis in some manner to create this attack because if we look at the type of attack and the methods used and the weapons used, this falls right in line with what weve seen overseas and what a lot of these websites are putting out for inspired individuals to commit these types of acts. Right, but, again, joe, if you hear a little bit of whats coming out, the profile of this attacker, he was telling his family possibly he had trouble with his grades. He had trouble fitting in. He was scared on campus. He said in the article. That does not make a terrorist. I mean, thats not necessarily exactly that sounds like a lot of people who are having trouble fitting in in college. I mean, when you want to find a motive, what are investigators combing through right now . Well, basically two things theyre going to be looking at. Internet records, cell phone records. Going to see if theres any, you know, communication overseas which, you know, weve seen in the past. There wasnt any. So, i mean, theyll be looking at what hes been watching on the internet, google searches and what have you to see what hes been looking at and see how this ahas has hes been looking at and see how this ahas h affected him. There was another attack on a campus in 2006. Unc. The guy drove his jeep and ran over nine or ten people. This isnt the first time weve seen this here. Isnt the first time. Back then it had to do with atrocities against muslims. Yes. Right before doing it, too, something similar what this guys doing. I think investigators are going to look at that case and see if there are similarities between the two. What joe brings up an important point. I want to ask you. We have unfortunately seen horribly deadly attacks on College Campuses in the past. No deaths here, fortunately, against, thankfully against the people who were attacked. Why are campuses, College Campuses, why do they continue to be such easy targets . Are campuses doing anything to change this . Oh, yes, absolutely. I mean, look, theyre the ultimate soft target. You need the students to be able to be together in public spaces. Right. Move from classroom to classroom. These big universities like here or ucla are wide open to pedestrian and vehicle traffic. So theres no way youre going to make a university or college hard. The students wouldnt want that, the professors wouldnt want that. So heres a goodnews aspect to this. We have to remember, the response look like it was phenomenal, right . I mean, these text alerts, these communications, these telling the students and the kids what to do. While this is not a good news story, this was not a successful attack. Whatever the motivation is. Some combination of terror, something else. I think as a society, we have to begin to look at those as sort of the Silver Lining out of these kind of random attacks that theres no Security Apparatus thats going to be able to stop every single one of these guys. So, so there is a Silver Lining on a day that looks, you know, like a day weve seen all too often in the last few years. Excellent point. And also, of course, the quality of the training of the officer that was fortunately near the scene and could be there within seconds to neutralize this attacker. We learned that also today. Guy, thank you so much for being here. Outfront for me next, breaking news, jill stein calling for a recount in pennsylvania, as donald trump points to unfounded conspiracy theories of voter fraud.

This as president elect donald trump starts an allout war, twitter war, that is, against the recount. Hes turning the tables, claiming that hes actually the victim of massive voter fraud, even though no breaking no breaking news alert needed here, he won the election. Friends. So wheres his proof . Jeff zeleny is outfront. Reporter donald trump is showing signs tonight of being a sore winner. The president elect is suggesting with zero evidence to back up his claim that he won the popular vote. And hes a victim of widespread election fraud. In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, trump wrote on twitter i won the popular vote. If you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. After repeatedly railing against the system on the campaign trail it is a rigged system and be careful with the voting, be careful with everything. You watch everything, folks. Reporter hes now throwing out blatant and baseless allegations on twitter. Serious voter fraud in virginia, New Hampshire and california. So why isnt the media reporting on this . Serious bias, big problem. Election officials in all three states say trumps charges are flatout wrong. Trump transition officials have not offered any hard evidence to back up his staggering claims of fraud. Hillary clintons lead in the popular vote has climbed to over 2 million. Despite charging that millions of fraudulent votes were cast nationwide, trump is actually crying foul over the recount getting under way in wisconsin. The Wisconsin ElectionsCommission Said today it would start counting nearly 3 million ballots again. At the request of green Party Candidate, jill stein. Shes pledging to foot the tab in wisconsin, even as she pushes for recounts in michigan and pennsylvania. Trump swept the three rust belt states, turning them red for the first time in more than two decades. A recount is highly unlikely to change the outcome. This is certainly not bush v. Gore. Reporter trump who won wisconsin by 22,000 votes called the wisconsin recount a scam. Mark thompson, leader of the bipartisan wisconsin election commission, blasted trump for ped pedalling what he called a conspiracy theory. To say its not being fair or people are counting illegal votes, from my vantage point, is an insult to the people that run our elections. Reporter the Clinton Campaign says there is no evidence of wrongdoing, but still plans to observe the wisconsin recount. Mark, clintons top lawyer, responded on twitter. Were getting attacked for participating in a recount that we didnt ask for by the man who won the election, but thinks there was massive fraud. Now, Hillary Clinton has not yet commented on allegations of fraud from donald trump, but her running mate, senator tim kaine, has. Hes from virginia, of course, one of the states trump said had serious voter fraud. Tonight, kaine called trumps comments shameful and an insult to voters. Now, as for that recount in wisconsin, the state elections board said just a short time ago, the cost would be 3. 5 million. More than three times the original estimate. Jill stein has until tomorrow evening to write that check. Aides say she will, and plans to go forward in michigan and pennsylvania as well. Kate . Those will be expensive as well. Jeff, great to see you. Thank you so much. Outfront tonight, jeffrey lord, was white house political director for president reagan. Nira tandon, president for center for American Progress and served as the policy director for Hillary Clintons 2008 president ial Campaign Mark preston is here as well, our executive editor for politics. All, thank you so much. Mark, what is donald trump doing here . He won the election. Reminder. Yeah, the 64,000 question. You know a lot of republicans here in town are wondering that as well. You know, there had been a little bit of a bumpy start, kate, as we know to his transition or at least thats what the perception was in the media, and then you started to see some names that were rolling in that started republicans here, potentially james mattis as defense secretary, mitt romney potentially as secretary of state nkand of course has gotten a little bit bumpy in the last couple days. Ill tell you this, kate, hees pl hes playing from a position of weakness now, not of power. Hes had all the leaders the past couple weeks calling him on the telephone to give him praise and congratulate him on his win. He even had the japanese Prime Minister alter his schedule and come to new york to see him then you see him tweeting about this. He has won, and right now, kate, republicans here in washington and elsewhere are wondering what is donald trump doing . Yeah, or is he just that easily provoked still . I mean, jeff, there is no evidence to back up trumps claims. We dont know exactly where he got this idea that millions voted illegally. The only place this is being pushed is fake news and conspiracy websites. I mean, are you okay as a supporter with the president elect tweeting about something that is only being pushed on conspiracy websites where there is no evidence . Kate, kate, i would radically disagree with you. I have no idea about the numbers, but in point of fact, john fund who now writes for National Review online and has written a book about the summbjt a couple years back, im quoting here, in 2005 the u. S. Government Accountability Office found that up to 3 of the 30,000 people called for jury duty jeff, jeff. From Voter Registration rolls you just said 2005. You can stop there. Were noncitizens. Kate, noncitizens are voting. Now, what is the number . I dont millions, millions of fact. Jeffrey, jeffrey, jeffrey. You just it is an established fact. You said 2005. We are talking about the 2016 election. And regardless, yes, fraud happens, voter fraud happens, but millions of massive voter massive millions of people voting illegally, massive voter fraud, there is no evidence of that. Weve already talked about this. Kate, this is a cousin to the argument about criminal illegals in this country. Not one death in this country should occur from an illegal because they shouldnt be here. Not one vote should be cast by a noncitizen because they shouldnt be voting, period. Jeffrey, he won the election. It is over, my friend. You should relish in that fact. I understand. Now, as to the president elect, look, its the 21st century. Hes going to be tweeting. Get with the program, kate. I mean, you know, Abraham Lincoln used the telegraph. Im hip with it, my friend. Im hip with it. Nira lets go. Rock n roll. Jump in on this. Can i make a point here which is very simple, which is that if there was any illustration of voter fraud before this election, it was actually donald Trump Supporters voting twice. The only instances we had of actual voter fraud was a handful, not enough to change this election, but a handful of donald Trump Supporters who said they were voting twice because donald trump said the voting was going to be rigged. There is no evidence, absolutely none despite jeffrey lord talking about 2005, there is absolutely no evidence that there was voter fraud and the fact of the matter is that donald trump is acting every minute in every day as if there is something to be worried about in wisconsin. Hillary clinton didnt ask for this recount. Jill stein did. Shes participating in it. The reality is that if you had concerns about why should she participate . If you had concerns about voter fraud in wisconsin, donald trump has confirmed them because moment after moment, tweeting into midnight on saturday night, and then talking about allegations of voter fraud neera, jeffrey lord does raise one good point. Im only giving you one good point in this discussion, jeffrey lord. Im not talking about 2005 anymore. In the myriad of lets figure out the Hillary Clinton was the one who said when she conceded the election, we need to allow we need to allow him the space to lead. She conceded the election. She also went nuts on him when he even said that he might not concede he might not accept the outcome of this election. Is this not just slightly hypocritical shes now participating in the recount . I actually hope that everyone will see the statement which is to say that hillary did not call for the recount. She wants to be represented in the recount to make sure its accurate. I hope donald trump and his lawyers will be represented as well. I think that would be a better outlet than lying. Im sorry, it makes me sad to say this, that the president elect would lie about california, New Hampshire and virginia. Okay. Any set of facts one thing and youre done, go, jeffrey, go. Okay. Kate, theyre also asking here in pennsylvania where the margin was 70,000 votes. I believe im correct to say that in the famous bush gore situation, the recount in florida got al gore 1,200 votes and he still didnt win. If the vote is accurate, then dont fear the recount. If the vote is accurate neera, wait. We have to end it here. We have to end it here, jeffrey. Heres the point. You said its not going to change the outcome. Exactly, my friend. He won. Move on. Dont tweet things there is no evidence. Its over. Kate mark preston, you look great. I just want to say that. Thanks for coming and playing. Thanks for having me on. Thanks, guys. Talk to you in a bit. Outfront next, donald trump is said to be irritated with top aide Kellyanne Conway. Whats going on behind trump towers closed doors .

Vice president elect mike pence telling reporters just moments ago this. There will be a number of very important announcements tomorrow. Hows that for a tease . Comes as president elect trump is said to be, quote, irritated by his former Campaign ManagerKellyanne Conways criticism of mitt romney as possible secretary of state and that fight over romney among trumps closest advisers now spilling out in the most public way. Sunlen serfaty is outfront. Reporter the infighting within Donald TrumpsTransition Team is now boiling over into a public feud. Thank you. Reporter a deep split emerging within the president elects inner circle over who should serve as secretary of state. The battle lines are drawn between those fighting for mitt romney, and those for rudy giuliani. Im all for party unity, but im not sure that we have to pay for that with the secretary of state position. Reporter top adviser Kellyanne Conway saying supporters of trump will feel betrayed, one of his most vocal critics such a prominent cabinet post. He went so far out of his way to hurt donald trump. There was the Nevertrump Movement and then there was mitt romney. Reporter transition sources tell cnn trump is irritated over conways Public Campaign against romney. A charge conway disputes, but now others within trumps inner circle are going on the attack. What do i know about mitt romney . I know that he is a selfserving, egomaniac who puts himself first, who has a chip on his shoulder, that thinks he should be president of the United States. I think we would be enormously disappointed if he brought mitt romney in in any position of authority. Reporter trumps incoming chief of staff it isnt a matter of warfare reporter downplaying the infighting but playing up a potential romney pick. Theres a lot of opinions about this, and, yes, it is sort of a team of rivals concept, if he were to go toward the governor romney concept. Reporter as this public jockeying between romney and giuliani loyalists continues, other options for the position are emerging. Trump bringing in former cia director retired fourstar general David Petraeus to trump tower today. Very good conversation and well see where it goes from here. Reporter petraeus resigned in 2012 and pled guilty to mishandling classified information which trump accused Hillary Clinton of doing via her private email server. Also under consideration, tennessee senator bob corker who will meet with trump tomorrow. Really good. Reporter and mr. Trump is now also calling in mitt romney for a second round of meetings since their first sitdown nine days ago. With the case of governor romney, the two, quite frankly, hadnt spent that much time together. And so this gives them a little more time to do so. Thank you. Reporter romney quietly waiting in the wings in the time since, making no mention of the drama swirling around him. Tweeting only about his family. No greater joy than making discoveries together with grandchildren. And as all of this plays out, if you look at Donald Trumps schedule between today and tomorrow, he will be meeting with three of the people who are under top consideration for this very important job. So certainly a lot of focus right now on filling out this very important position. Trump tweeting after a meeting with general petraeus that he is very impressed with him and, of course, all eyes on that dinner that trump will be having tomorrow night with mitt romney. Of course, kate, the man at the center of so much of this infighting. Kate . Yeah, quite a dinner date tomorrow night. Sunlen, thank you so much. Outfront now, former Senior Adviser to mitt romney, kevin madden. Cnn political kmcommentator, be ferguson. And david gergen. All, thanks so much for being here. Good to be with you. Kevin, there seems to be a lot of anger out there toward your former boss. Kellyanne conway, then congressman Chris Collins calling romney a selfserving egomaniac with a chip on his shoulder. Almost feels like theres a campaign of sorts right now going against romney. What do you say to all of this . I think Reince Priebus actually, he summed it up pretty well that theres a diverse array of opinions about some of the decisions that are going on inside the process of putting together a cabinet. I think, you know, Kellyanne Conway, shes a very shes a very loyal staffer to president elect trump. She has very strong opinions and im sure that shes offering the same opinions that shes offering publicly privately so, you know, i think ultimately this still comes down to a decision that the president elect, himself, has to make and that those i think whats very different is that many of these opinions are being aired publicly, but this is not a conventional was not a conventional campaign and it was successful. Its not been a conventional transition and hopefully it will still be successful as a result. Still so unusual that, yes, those things happen in private, but to hear it in public, unusual to say the least. So, ben, you think kellyann is right here, that if trump picks romney, that hes going to pay. Hes going to lose supporters. Well, hes going to lose his core supporters. Remember, he said im going to drain the swamp. Picking mitt romney doesnt drain the swamp, in fact, it fills it up. There are many people that say that mitt romney is the epitome of what they didnt want and thats why they voted for donald trump for president and hes going to have a very hard time if he chooses him getting people that those core supporters that waited in line to see him for five, six, seven hours, took a lot of heat advocating for him around their friends and on social media, if this is his major, big major pick and he picks an establishment guy like mitt romney whose biggest speech of his career over the last four years is a speech where he trashed the intelligence of donald trump and basically said hes an idiot and doesnt know anything and hes a fraud and a phony, i dont think you have to pick mitt romney in this situation. Theres other people that are qualified. Why you need to pick him and make your base automatically question you would be a very bad decision, in my opinion. David, let me get your take on this. I mean, youve seen a lot of these transitions play out over the years. A rir ari flesher, press secretary to george w. Bush, tweeted out, he said this on twitter something tells me Kellyanne Conway would not air antiromney point of view if trump didnt want her to. He, trump, hes stirring the pot to see who can take the heat. Do you think that could be the case of what were looking at right now . Well, im not sure if theres any better explanation, and i sort of like im sympathetic with what ari is saying. Who can believe this otherwise . Kellyanne conway and these other people sandbagging mitt romney so publicly is astonishing. Its never happened in any other transition in memory. And i heres the other thing. Im not sure why mitt romney would want to take it under these circumstances. Knowing hes coming into an administration that has many people like ben or kellyanne or others who hate him, theyre going to sabotage him from within. I dont hate him. Theyre going to make it difficult for him to be secretary of state. He has the right qualifications, but, you know go ahead, david. Lets be clear less than high regard. Go ahead. Heres my thing you have less than high regard i think Donald Trumps style here is so different than mitt romneys style, and people said they wanted something different. They did not want a career politician, and the reason why mitt romney will take this job if its offered to him is because its a secretary of state, and he went out as a loser and now he wants to come back and have a major Important Role to play here. I get why hes taking the meetings. I understand why he wants the job. I just dont think that he let me say this. Hes going to connect well with donald trump. Go ahead, david. Hold on one second. Ive known more than one secretary of state in the last 20 years whos had a very unhappy relationship with the white house. And it is the worst possible job to have when the white house continually undercuts you as secretary of state. It is a miserable job under those circumstances, and i cant imagine if mitt romney does not become secretary of state, it could well be because of these kind of attacks. I will tell you on the other hand, that whats encouraging to people who want who are looking for a mainstream candidate, if you guys dont want mitt romney, you got two other candidates now and David Petraeus, general petraeus and senator corker. David . Who i think would be met with widespread respect. One hfd word answer, kevin, you know mitt romney well, does this whole episode make it more or less likely mitt romney would take this job is. I think hed take it out of a sense of duty. Doesnt matter. I think what david talked about, there are some very real challenges. I disagree with what ben was saying, mitt romney is not a career politician. But i think there are a number of other candidates in there that, to davids point, are very good. I mean, David Petraeus, not a career politician. Bob corker is not a career politician. Hes been a politician for a long time, though. We have to get into the definition of what a politician is, my friend. Hes an establishment guy. I think theyre widely respected. Establishment, nonestablishment. What people are going to be looks at is whether or not theyre qualified for the job and whether theyre willing to take it. Maybe well get an announcement, hold on, maybe well get an announcement tomorrow after the mike pence tease, more announcements tomorrow. Ill tease to that as well. Thanks, gentlemen.

Draintheswamp. Trump isnt backing down. Acknowledging that his rise to the white house makes his name a hotter brand than it was before. Ethics lawyers, though, warn if trump doesnt go further to separate his presidency from his pet projects, there could be problems. I think it jeopardizes the country because the danger is that hell make decisions that benefit him financially but are not the best decisions for the country. Reporter and professor gillers points out trump is right in at least one respect. The conflict of interest laws that apply to members of congress and cabinet members specifically exempt the president and vice president. That leaves some people pointing to the little known emolument clause in the constitution, that bars Public Officials from accepting gifts or compensation from foreign governments except if congress consents. So with republican majorities in both houses and a Justice Department possibly led by jeff sessions, the emoluments clause is unlikely do be enforced. Kate . Ah, the emoluments. Jessica, great to see you. Thank you so much. Outfront now, john, editor and chief of the daily beast. Jessica schneider, she points out very well this tangled web of business interests that donald trump has in multiple countries. She just highlighted three. There are so many more. Can donald trump is there any sense that donald trump can untangle the web at this point . How dangerous is this . This is an unprecedented thicket of conflict that at the very least creates a huge perception problem and at worst, something far, far worse. But as jessica pointed out, it is actually not illegal for the president to do business even out of the oval office. It would be illegal for cabinet secretaries, other people in washington. Which is where you depend on the character of the person in the office. The problem is, Donald Trumps not exactly in the habit of drawing a line between the personal and the profession. Hes pretty blithe about the fact he could do but maybe he wont. The last president who talked that way was richard nixon, famously said if the president does it, its not illegal. Watch out, people, this is going to be a big political. The potential for conflicts of other countries is massive. It was no secret during the campaign that he had all of these business interests. It didnt hurt him then. What can they do about it now . You have republicans in the house and senate in control. The issue is his base isnt going to be offended, as he famously said during the campaign, he can go out on 5th avenue, shoot someone and theyd still love him. Now hes president of the whole country and hes got to deal with this. If he doesnt, its going to snowball. If republicans insist theyre going to ignore it, theyre going to look like the hypocrites they are. Not over by a long shot. Emolume emolument. Outfront next, more on the breaking news.
