One day after introducing their obamacare fix, republicans are facing a backlash from the health care industry. Democrats, moderates and conservatives. Theyre all bashing the house plan as nothing but obamacarelite and rhino care. We are divided on replacement. Its a missed opportunity. Do we need to lower the bar in what we believe as conservatives, simply because a republican is now in the white house . There are things that have to be done, that have to be included, but we got a starting point. And i think amidst the excrement, we can find a pony around here somewhere. However, according to cnn, trump did warn of a 2018 republicans couldnt get a bill passed after seven years of promises. They singled out rand paul after he voiced his opposition to the plan. Later today, the house ways and Means Committee will take its first pass at the health care rae form bill. Its now been four days since President Trump accused president obama of tapping his office. No, i havent. I have not seen that evidence. I think that the president of the United States stated categorically that trump tower was wiretapped, he should come forward with the information that led him to that conclusion. And with little to no Public Comments from the President Trump himself, its left his aides. Have they come up with any evidence at all . I have addressed this multiple times. Do you believe president obama ordered Something Like this . My job is to represent the president nothing has changed. Its not a question of new proof or less proof or whatever. Has the evidence been sheaar with you or other members of the president s senior staff as to why he made this particular accusation . Farce as far as me, no. If hes sitting on this information he found out, hes now directing or asking or recommending that the intelligence communities look into this, and you talked about they have resources and staff, which they do. But why expend those resources and staff if the president has it. I think theres a difference between directing the department of justice which may be involved in an ongoing investigation, asking congress as a separate body to look into something. Meanwhile, on capitol hill, questions on the president s unclaimed aim are aimed at rod roddensteen. He would ultimately lead any investigations into russia and the twoikt campaign. No president can just unilaterally say go wiretap that american citizen, right . My answer to that, senator is i would hope and i would agree with you that that would not happen. He would not commit to a special prosecutor on the issue, despite democrats demands. Some key dems have already said they would block his confirmation. And we have word of the first public intel hearing, it will be held in less than two weeks. The first witnesses asked to testify, former deputy ag sally yates and james comey.
