Transcripts For MSNBCW MTP Daily 20170307

Well talk to one of the republican nominees, senator ben cardin. Im confident of his judgment. And california love. As the nations second largest city heads to the polls. This is mtp daily. And it starts right now. Good evening. Im chuck todd here in washington. Welcome to mtp daily. Yes, by the way, its a tuesday and people are voting somewhere. Im going to have that later. Republicans have been waiting for six years for a republican president to join with a Republican Congress to unveil a plan that would once and for all repeal and replace obamacare. That day is today. And republicans may have something of a mutiny on their hands from within their own ranks. Right now, its a full court press from Republican Leadership and the president. Paul ryan just wrapped up a News Conference attempting to get the entire republican conference on board. This bill, the American Health care act, it keeps our promise to repeal and replace obamacare. It delivers relief to americans fed up with skyrocketing premiums and fewer choices. We just heard from the president , as he met with republican lawmakers at the white house today. Im proud to support the replacement plan, released by the house of representatives and encouraged by members of both parties. I think really that were going to have something thats going to be much more understood and much more popular than people would even imagine. Meanwhile, some of the plans fiercest republican critics wrapped up their own News Conference and they ripped into the plan. Theres the leadership plan that was brought forward, which i believe when y look through it, is bisobamacare whats been introduced is not the bisobamacare replacement an repeal plan weve been hoping for. I think amidst we can find a pony around here somewhere. Moments before that press conference, hhs secretary tom price made his pitch for the legislation from the White House Briefing room. But oddly, he seemed to dodge questions about his support personally for the legislation. Do you support everything on the bill on the snabl table . This is a work in process. Im glad you pointed out the bills on the table here. The Vice President said he was confident that the bill would be passed in a matter of weeks. Heres what he told casey opportunity about gop opposition to the plan. Why are conservatives so opposed . I think were very early in the legislative process. As the president has made clear, were open to working with members of the house and senate about ways to improve the bill. We believe the American Health care act is the right framework for replacing obamacare in the days ahead, the president and i look forward to making that case to the congress and the American People. Important phrase the Vice President just used there, dont forget it framework. In some ways theyre creating just enough distance from this bill, and its just the beginning of this. The white house says this is merely the start of a negotiation. It seems they have a lot of negotiating to do. Conservative republicans, youve been hearing from the House Freedom caucus there, and republican groups are slamming the plan as obamacare light. Theyre unhappy with what this law keeps in tact. Like obamacare, theres a penalty for folks who dont have continuous insurance. Like obamacare, there are subsidies, and two core obamacare conditions, preexisting conditions and staying on your parents plan are left untouched. So thats the part that you can make the obamacare light. But other republicans seem to be unhappy about what this takes away. Theres the rollback of the Medicaid Expansion. Weve seen other others, the la being marked up tomorrow without any guidance from the Congressional Budget Office. Wheres regular order . What happened to that phrase . It means we dont have a nonpartisan estimate of how much this plan will cost or impact the deficit or how many people it will cover. And by the way, theyre supposed to mark up the bill now. On top oh of that, theres the fog of trumps own position on this. The president has been all over the map on health care. A few weeks ago, he was vouching for universal coverage. Joined now by a member of the House Freedom caucus. Without making an assumption of where you stand on this bill, let many ask you where do you stand on the repeal and replace bill, sir . Good to see you this evening, chuck. Im undecided. Im still trying to examine it and trying to figure out if theres more pros or cons. Some key issues to me theres a provision in it according to a summary that i got from the ways and Means Committee that suggests that american taxpayers are going to be responsible forgiving away money to foreign nationals and qualified il yeal to pay for their health care. So there are a lot of things that have to be looked through. In short, though, it appears to be the largest Welfare Program ever proposed by republicans in the history of our country. You called yourself undecided at the beginning of your answer. And then to quote you, its still the largest welfare proposal that a republican has ever introduced. So congress ann, let me ask you again, are you in favor of this bill or not . You probably have a pretty good idea from my remarks where im leaning. But i dont have a Congressional Budget Office scoring of the bill that tells me what they think the impact on deficit and debt will be. If all of a sudden im surprised and this is going to ve taxpayers a lot of money, reduce our deficit, make us more solvent as a country, that could persuade me otherwise. With this administration and this president , its the art of the deal. If suddenly the package is changed considerably to make it more platable, that can change my opinion somewhat where i stand. Right now im keeping my options open, but there are some major problems with the bill and hurdles for me to overcome before i can support it. What do you think the longterm impact could be on sort of where health care goes in this country if a form of this bill is enacted . Because right now the replacement bill does look like its going to leave a lot of the obamacare architecture in place. Well, if you believe in socialized medicine, then you ought to be for obamacare and in favor of this replacement. Because ultimately, this is a huge step in favor of socialized medicine. And thats where were going to end up. If this legislation passes by way of example, were going to have a continual debate from here until eternity on how big the subsidies should be. Thats going to be a Campaign Issue every year, that overtime i think the subsidies will continue to get bigger and bigger, which means that youre going to have larger and larger deficits, which means that our debt is going to become less manageable. We really ought to do everything we can to avoid that. I have been to your district. Ive seen you. You are a fiscal conservative, and nobody would say otherwise. Im curious, hearing your concern about the debt, are you concerned that theres now a republican in the white house that doesnt have that same concern about the debt as you do . Ll, last week, president ump gave an excellent address to the United States congress. But the one thing that disappointed me is that there was not one word mentioned about our deficit and our debt and the threat that that poses to our country. I really wish that that stage opportunity had been used to impress upon the American People the precipice that we face. A precipice that can undo what it took centuries of our american ancestors to build. Does it concern you if he didnt bring it up in his speech to congress, doesnt that tell you where it is on his priority list . Im hopeful that well be able to change that as a priority. But youve got the secretary of defense mattis, youve got mike mullen who both have testified or stated that its our deficit and debt which is our nations greatest National Security risk. So its incumbent upon people like myself, and the director of office of management and budget to impress upon the white house this is an issue we can no longer set aside. If were going to save our country from bankruptcy, it needs to be the number one issue with respect to every subject matter that we address. Hopefully we can impress upon the white house the seriousness of the situation. Let me button up health care. Is there one major change that house leadership can make that will say ill accept some of these provisions, whats to you what is the biggest thing you would like to see fixed in this official proposal . Well, if were going to have a christmas list major change, it would be to repeal in total obamacare. Then implement market reforms, interstate competition for insurance carriers, eliminate the exemptions om the antitrust legislation, things oh of that nature. Competition forces pricing to be reasonable, and then send it to the states and let the 50 states decide fo themselves what kind of Health Care System they want. If they like obamacare, they can pass obamacare provided they can pay for it. Congressman brooks from alabama, as always, sir, thank you for sharing your views. Let me bring in our panel. Hugh hewitt, jennifer palmeri, and dan mulles. Hugh, there it is. We were talking in the green room in this respect. Does the Republican Leadership here, do they have more of a problem on the right of their party, House Freedom caucus, mo brooks, i think we know where he stands, or more of a problem on the left, say susan collins, rob portman, what say you after hearing that interview in the Critical Path to passage is in the senate, and there are four republican senators who said you have to save the Medicaid Expansion. So they have to get it from the senate back to the house, so it is on the left side of the party they have to deal. Im sorry, dan. I dont know how they do this, because heres what i do know. Maybe jennifer will correct us. I cant think of any democrats that are going to help the Republican Party and replace too many mo brooks votes. I agree with that. There are senators that hugh knows on the right who stepped up and criticized mike lee who was at that press conference. Rand paul is another one. So theyve got that problemn the right. And theyve got the problem with the Medicaid Expansion group, the four on the left. I dont know yet. But as everybody says, were at an early stage of this. Its not as though this is going to sail through quickly. Whats amazing is that the house Republican Leadership is trying already to sell this so hard, which tells you but without the white house first of all, do you think obamacare light is a fair description of this plan this yeah, it is the same [ overlapping speakers ] im it is keeping it would do a lot of damage and a lot of people would lose coverage and its not ultimately sustainable fiscally speaking. But it is i can see why i can see why congressman brooks has the problem he does. The Freedom Caucus just said it was socialized medicine. This is not going to become law. This is not going to be the congress that rolls back a benefit like this. Its never happened in history. Look in the white house is hanging back. I understand its also the position the white house is in, do we lead do we lock ourselves into supporting a particular bill or do you let the debate play out . It seems dangerous. Heres the problem for the base and the Republican Party. Let me play this montage about whats been said about obamacare the last four years. Obamacare is nothing more than the largest tax increase in the history of the world. Many democrats had recently come out against obamacare saying specifically they understood now about the death panels. Obamacare is really, i think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. And it is in a way slavery. Obamacare is the biggest job killer in this country. Everything about obamacare was a lie. It was a filthy lie. This is why i understand why mo brooks and rand paul are going, weve been saying this is the worst. Not saying we disagreed with how they did it on the margins. This is the worst plan ever created in the history of mankind. Stop. I believe the bill is a major retooling of the health care of the United States in that it would allow for a genuine capping for out of control entitlement. Thats the center of this reform, getting rid of the taxes and mandate. I think getting it to the senate allows step two to come forward. I dont agree its obamacare light. But it is mostly the medicaid devolution. Everything theyve done, it seems some form of this bill, and whatever comes out of the house will be a more conservative version that comes out of the senate. How will they pass a bill that democrats wont be able t say well, were just going to use this architecture and were going to go back to the old medicaid formulas. Seems like its easy. If medicaid is deinvolved to the states, thats a significant thing. Youre assuming they can pull that off. I dont buy it. Republican governors have talked about that for ten years. Theyve never been able to figure out whats the formula that holds them until they started looking at the details. They want the flexibility. But the pricing is always a problem. So thats a major its a big reform and a big if and how you structure, particularly because of whats happened with obamacare, with some states expanding and some states not. That alone is a big problem. But the idea that this bill is shocking to the Freedom Caucus also it shouldnt be a surprise. Everything that has been said about this issue as republicans have tried to grapple with it, has moved it in the direction of what the house leadership has done here. So the idea that this is somehow a shocking departure from those who say weve got to repeal it, what have they been watching for the last six months . Very quickly, jennifer, is there a point where some democrats think why dont i get involved in this . I cant imagine. Human nature takes over too at this point where everybody believes nobody likes thats what made it hard to pass in the first place is human nature. But people are going to believe theyre going to lose something. You mean like all those promises of getting rid of the bush tax cuts that became permanent . These things this is an unconventional time and presidency. But some l gaws oravity till abide. You guys are sticking around for the hour. Coming up, did the cias classified computer hacking Weapons Program just get leaked for all the world to see . Plus, President Trumps truth telling problem. Theres still no evidence to support his wiretapping claims. And he still hasnt asked to see if hes right. Well dig into the cost of these credibility problems, next. Deartheres no other way to say this. Its over. Ive found a permanent escape from monotony. Together, we are perfectly balanced. Our senses awake. Our hearts racing as one. I know this is sudden, but they say. If you love something set it free. See you around, giulia welcome back. Wikileaks is back, and they released a trove of documents purporting to reveal cia hacking secrets. If true, this could expose some of the u. S. Intelligence communitys closely guarded cyber weapons. This includes documents marked top secret and suggests the cia may be able to tune into any smartphone and smart tvs into listening devices. If you watched mr. Robot, this is already in their hands. Wikileaks says the cia tools allow the agency to bypass popular encryption enabled apps. Nbc news has not verified the authenticity of these leaks, and the cia spokesman declined to comment saying we do not comment on the authenticity of content of purported intelligence documents. But general Michael Hayden told andrea mitchell, we need to carefully consider the motive behind this wikileaks dump. Isnt it surprising that wikileaks seems to be focused on transparen only aut the United States of ameca and its friends, not the totalitarian regimes around the world. I joined the army in july of 98. I did active duty 11 years. And two in the reserves. Our 18 year old was in an accident. When i call usaa it was that voice asking me, is your daughter ok . Thats where i felt relief. It actually helped to know that somebody else cared and wanted make sure that i was okay. That was really great. Were the rivera family, and we will be with usaa for life. Usaa. We know what it means to serve. Call today to talk about your insurance needs. Welcome back to mtp daily. Its been four days that President Trump made the most serious allegation of his presidency, that president barack Obama Wiretapped the phones of trump tower. All it would take to fact check is a phone call to the director of the fbi. But when sean spicer was asked today if President Trump had done so, he said no. Republican you lawmakers and white house officials have been asked repeatedly about these claims and theyve had to delicately determine how to respond. Take a look. I think that the president of the United States, who has stated categorically that trump tower was wiretapped, that he should come forward with the information that led him to that conclusion. I dont know why the president believes this, the current president believes it about the former president. Im sure theres a reason and its up to him to explain. I wish the president had not done via tweet. This is such a serious issue. Im assuming in a tweet, hes probably not as accurate as we would like him to be. I think the president s tweets speak for themselves. They do. Well, okay. Yes, that is a fact. They do have a voice. Dan, this we are getting to the point, and i had this happen a few times on sunday, everybody is like, you cant take the president at his word all the time like this. Are we in that position now . That were we all have to be conditioned that everything he says or tweets is not true . I dont think so. I think the reaction to those tweets is evidence that people are not calloused to the idea we shouldnt pay attention. Hes the president of the United States. He made a shocking accusation. The white house has run away from it since then. The administration as a whole has run away from it. They are you have to wonder whether theres anybody around the president who believes there is any veracity to this story. Hugh, it seems to me, if nothing else, the one thing i take away, theres still nobody the only piece of evidence supporting any kind of an assertion is that general flynn was subject to surveillance, because that was leaked was he the subject or the russian ambassador. However, my first job in the executive branch was special assistant to the attorney general. President obama would have nothing to do with a counterintelligence division. Someone needs to be there to review tweets before they go out. That tweet would not have gone outy anyone with an intelligence background. I know that president obama and Hillary Clinton were different media consumers than this president. This president wants more. You worked for two people that hated the press. The press. Hes obsessed with the press. But how often would you give him reading material that you knew was potentially untrue but you thought it was important that he see it was out there . President obama read a lot of press. You know, he famously had it onno onnon his ipad. There were times when we would say you should not you should be aware of this, that this is out there. Its not true, but you may hear about it. But you would say its not true . Sure, we would say its not true. Are we confident that if somebody is putting this in this clip, breitbart is writing about this, youre going to be hearing about this, but its not true. Do you think theres anybody that says that to him . Theres no evidence that theres anybody that says it to him. I think theyre telling breitbart what to put in. Everything weve seen in the way he operates, thats not the case. He absorbs information he sees on tv and accepts that no matter source as credible if it fits his view of the world. He might be watching this, he watches fox in the morning. It is not i dont know what your system was. I know in the reagan white house, there was a disciplined system of information flow. I think thats gone because of social media now. I commend the piece that Jenna Johnson wrote today, connecting what was said on fox and the tweet from the president. Hes thrown out a Conspiracy Theory that hasnt been walked back. Nikki haley had to contrast trump on the twostate solution. Mcmasters said dont use islamic terrorism and he defied that. At what point do republicans feel uncomfortable apologizing for this . Hes got 90 approval in the Republican Party. 90 of the country that voted for him believes hes speaking truth to power and they dont care about the niceties that the elites care about. They care about shattering what is a protected class. So this discussion does not penetrate into the blue state wall that collapsed. And until it does, i dont think any republican is going to say mr. President , stop. It may not penetrate his supporters, but it goes beyond manhattan and washington. This is why his Approval Rating is so low. I think its important that the press do treat each tweet seriously, and chase it down. But what im glad to see is the general public does not seem to be losing their capacity to be shocked or outraged. Its not diminishing any one act. The impact of all those things that you cited that are not true is hurting him. I think over time. Quick word. I think one key is elected republican officials. Yes. In a sense, more than trump loyalists in the states. If they eventually, and you have to believey will, become so uncomfortable with that style of leadership, with those accusations, then hes got a big problem. Hughs right, until then, they see the poll numbers. Stick around. Coming up, the president s pick to be number two at the Justice Department. Who would be number one on the russian april. Senator ben cardin wants a 9 11 Style Commission on russia will join me on why he believes this is the right man for the number two post. Well be right back. Have fun with your replaced windows.

He didnt know what you were asking about. I said that as i was asking the question, i said you dont havent heard this, and i dont expect that you have heard it.

On capitol hill, questions on russian attempts to enter veer with the 2016 election with potential contacts between the russians and the Trump Campaign dominated the hearing for President Trumps hearing to be the Deputy Attorney general, rod rosenstein. Thats because hes the one who will be in charge of any investigations involving russia and the Trump Campaign, since attorney general Jeff Sessions has recused himself. So that upped the stakes for this hearing. Democrats are calling for a special prosecutor, but rosenstein could not commit one way or the other. Are you willing to appoint a special counsel to examine russian interference at elections and other criminal activity . Im willing to appoint a special counselor when i determine its appropriate based on the policies of the Justice Department. How can you investigate your boss . If theres evidence, senator, that the attorney general and president have information relevant to a criminal investigation in this case, as . Previous cases that ive handled, ill make sure theyre questioned. You view it as an issue of principle that i need to appoint a special counsel in a matter that i dont know if its being investigated and i view it as an issue of principle that i should not be promising to take action on the particular case. Senator ben cardin, who introduced rosenstein at the hearing, said hes confident in his judgment on the russia issues. Cardin was also the recipient of a cash of documents marked secret senate from the state department in the days before the inauguration. Senator cardin joins me now. Senator, let me first start with todays hearing. You introduced him and vouched for him. Youre a democrat vouching for a republican president s nominee to be number two. Why . Chuck, good to be with you. Rod rosenstein is a professional prosecutor. He has the confidence of all the sta stakeholders in maryland. Hes been u. S. Attorney for a number of years. Hes a person who basically is a professional. Hes a public servant. We trust his judgment. Hes shown by his leadership, going after gangs, unifying us on our attack against terrorism. Hes been a person who has called it the way it should be. He has not been partisan, and we believe this was a welcomed nomination by President Trump. What do you believe should be the trigger for a special counsel . And i know you want a special commission and theres a separate debate there. But what should be the trigger for a special counsel in your opinion . Well, there are two separate issues here as you point out. One is getting all the information about what russia was doing. The contacts made in the United States, its intent and interfering of our election, how we can protect ourselves against these attacks. In my view, that requires an independent special commission that devotes its full time to figuring out what happened. Similar to what we used when we were attacked on 9 11. In regards to any criminal investigations, it is very clear, if theres any criminal evidence about the involvement of the Trump Administration or the Trump Campaign, then a special counsel would be necessary. Let me go into this the cache of docunts, the spreading of this information and your office go name checked, im sure you love that. Because then everybody said, senator cardin, what do you got, what do you got . But obvious hi youve been through this material. Is this material that you got, is it definitive in your mind that it points the finger right at russia and what they were doing . Or is it a circumstantial is it a list of circumstantial evidence . First, let me make it clear, i requested documents in my role as the ranking democrat on the Senate Foreign relations committee. The information was made available to the democratic and republican staff. It was marked classified, so im not at liberty to talk about the specifics. But i can tell you, that prior to receive thing information, there was clear indication that russia was engaged in attacking our country. Thats been substantiated in a public release from our intelligence agencies. So its clear they were trying to compromise the integrity of our election. To me that was actionable and ive called for action. Okay. But what the material that you got sent, did it reinforce this conclusion . Does it add evidence . Does it give i mean, i guess the question is this the thing thats missing here is how did they do it . There suspect a full explanation of how they did it and who helped them do it. How far away are we from answering that question . I think we know some of the methods theyve deployed and used in order to get information. We know what we have to do as far as protecting ourselves against cyber attack. But we dont know everything and all of our vulnerabilities. Thats one of the reasons why an independent commission is necessary, oh that we can protect ourselves. So russia is going to try this again. Theyre already engaged in flnce elections in germany, france, the netherlands. We need to take steps to protect our Democratic Institutions. Russia is using our Democratic Institutions to compromise our way of governance. So we know what they did. We know how they got some of the information. We know some of the methods they deployed in order to do a cyber attack successfully. And we know how they use that to create in some cases fake news and then use social media in order to bolster the importance of that news. You called it an attack on our country. Whats the proper way to respond to an attack like that . Is sanctions enough . I believe it was an attack. I believe it was an attack maybe not by a mig, but it may been by a mouse, but we need to take the strongest steps we can to isolate russia through sanctions. Sanctions are working and hurting russias economy. We proposed sanctions because of their incursion into ukraine. We need to call russia out. We need to get all the facts before we decide how we can best protect ourselves. Do you think we just havent done that does there need to be a moment at the u. N. . What is this leading to, all this evidence . What more needs to be done . There are two bills that i filed in congress with republicans in order to take further action. One would impose more sanctions against russia. It would set off a Democracy Initiative in europe and authorize us to counter their propaganda. I think there are steps that we need to take. But i would be the first to acknowledge i would like to get more information. Thats why i support the independent commission, repoing to congress and the American People exactly what russia was doing. All right. Senator ben cardin, thanks for coming on and sharing your views. Up next, its election day in l. A. Apparently i might be the only one obsessed with this. Stay tuned. But there will still be pain. It comes when your Insurance Company says theyll only pay threequarters of what it takes to replace it. What are you supposed to do . Drive threequarters of a car . Now if you had Liberty Mutual new car replacement™, youd get your whole car back. I guess they dont want you driving around on three wheels. Smart. With Liberty Mutual new car replacement™, well replace the full value of your car. Liberty stands with you™. Liberty mutual insurance. When youre close to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment . If you have moderate to severe psoriasis, you can embrace the chance of completely clear skin with taltz. Taltz is proven to give you a chance at completely clear skin. With taltz, up to 90 of patients had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. In fact, 4 out of 10 even achieved completely clear skin. Do not use if you are allergic to taltz. Before starting you should be checked for tuberculosis. Taltz may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Tell your doctor if you are being treated for an infection or have symptoms. Or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. Inflammatory bowel disease can happen with taltz. Including worsening of symptoms. Serious allergic reactions can occur. Nows your chance at completely clear skin. Just ask your doctor about taltz. Tonight, im obsessed with east coast bias. New york city or washington, d. C. Or baltimore or bostonr philadelphia are holding a Mayoral Election today, you can bet you would have heard arent it. But i bet you didnt know that voters in the city of angels, theyre at the polling right now. East coast bias isnt totally the blame. Turns out people in los angeles might not know theyre supposed to vote today. The headline in the l. A. Times, election, what election . Apathy abounds as l. A. Votes. And there was this one, too. What if los angeles held an election and 80 of voters didnt care . So whats on the ballot today . The mayor is running for reelection. Plus, there is a controversial ballot initiative, restricting certain types of new development in l. A. People in los angeles are notoriously bad in turning out in local elections, almost as bad as they are for turning out for the first pitch of a dodgers game. In the boast of the last two Mayoral Elections, 22 of registered voters showed up. There was even talk for offering cash prizes for voting. But polls close at 8 00 p. M. Local time. So if youre watching in los angeles, get out and vote, both of you. Traffic is probably not a nig nightmare near the ballot boxes. Well be right back. Y business. Y business.

I know this is sudden, but they say. If you love something set it free. See you around, giulia. Time for the lid, the house intel devin nunes. Lets bring back the panel. By the way, l. A. Theyre running for 5 and a half year term because it was so bad they are moving theirlection to the even numbered year. They will get a 5 boost. You were california back when they cared. I did. Lets talk about russia lets go to russia devin nunes. How much longer how much patients do you think republicans will have in congress. Democrats got tired of white water after a year. When does that happen . I think it happens soon. I have a piece of from washington about the history of support of the white house, not the opposition, but the support say segregate, aggravate and remove. Had president clinton not slipped up in the middle, they may have compartmentalize you mean. The wall was different. Im for a special prosecutor but it needs to be insulated even if it can be impacted by political appointee, they can direct questions, thats what we need to go to but it needs to have special protections. It seems the commission is another theres so many people leery of the prosecutors with people having that was a good model. And dissent. How about bob gaits and mitt romney heading up special election on this . It puts the Trump Administration of two years of this kind of administration as to where it would lead. How is it different if they dont have this . I think its a reality. Im not saying yes or no. Im saying the idea that this is preferable, i think if you believe the president theres nothing there. If theres nothing there, go get it done. Nothing to hide special interesti prosecutor, let it go. If theres nothing no hide somebody would have called for it already. And revealed what is behind the tweet. I believe theres collusion. I believe the trump staff was in coronation with the leaks, they were way too prepared. We have not we dont have direct evidence of that, im saying, i believe there is happening live to through it. The Trump Campaign was ready to go with their statement about that, whatever that leak was. As of the time they put that report out in january there was no evidence of that. Right. There was no evidence im not saying he said there was not evidence at at time or that he knew of. I think thats im saying thats why i think there needs to be a further investigation. There will be. That is when the Trump Administration is in a whole other universe. Republicans demanded special councils on the server, they got none. Its a high standard. If the republicans on the hill say no, they will have a lot of history to back up the no. I guess i go to this theory which they cannot get Health Care Tax reformed and a budget passed and investigate russia. The politics it over loads the circuits. If you take russia out of it. Thats what im wondering here, when do the circuits get overloaded here in. Put aside congresss ability to do thing, you need the president and the white house involved as well. They are ghg to be districted no matter where the investigation is. You are great. Thank you, very much.
