Joining me Peter Alexander and pete williams. Peter alexander, today two memos, two clarifications, one from the defense secretary from general mattis, one from general kelly at Homeland Security. In one case general mattis, excluding iraqis who have helped our military during the war, the other from homeland, excluding people with green cards and permanent, and citizens and permanent visas. These are the clarifications indicating there was not effective consultation with these cabinet level people with the Different National Security Officials prior to the executive order.

Which would make those comments basically a lie. Certainly would make his testimony to Charlie Crist a lie. If done under oath, perjury. The statement he made in the senate, he deliberately misled the United States senate in a hearing which, of course, judges have been impeached for doing as much.
