After the procedural vote, Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell pledged to keep working to get there and noted democrats doug two struggled with passing obamacare. We watched a similar process seven years ago. They had a lot of differences. We are going to sort this out with a so thoroughly open amendment process and a situation where 51 votes can change the bill.

One of my sources says to me, hes going to find out if we have to fight and where this leads. They seem to think that Rudy Giuliani will be the one to be able to do that where nobody else was able to do that before. In some interviews today he talked about his prior relationship with Robert Mueller. Its not clear to me how a prior relationship with mueller would impact an on going investigation.
