government investigations. just thinking about your paper s coverage of scott pruitt. he s gone but no one has gone back and looked at his conduct. tactical pants and a phone booth and what else. where do you see some of the leads opened by investigative journalism going if democrats take over control of the house or senate? not only subpoena power again, maybe that s complied with, maybe it isn t, but the thing to look at is how the republicans used it during the obama years. it gave them leverage to drive forward on issues and stories and really gave them something to grab onto. now you ll have investigative journalism, a party that s interested in getting to the bottom of this and scoring political points, and it s going to be a big deal whether the trump white house is going to comply or not. it s going to be something they ll have to contend with every day. phil rucker, you brought it to where it will be if this comes to pass and that s the pr. we have an example of what inves
like last night? if donald trump is sitting in bed tweeting or sending out a message that completely undercuts the message you came up with or sits down with lester holt in an interview and undercuts everything the white house has said about the russia probe, how do you handle that when a guy at the top is calling the shots and he s putting out his own message however and whenever he wants to. i remember the chaotic first week, mika and i went to lunch with the prs at the white house about ten days in. you could hear the protesters outside. it was the executive order that caused mass chaos across the world, and certainly the airports. protests in the street, it was 24/7 news coverage. it was an yourly way to start the week. and i remember donald asking me, how do you think the first week into? i said well, i like the union guys. you brought the union guys in and talked about making the steel pipes american, that could

team to wrap it up, to say we have cooperated you re saying you re saying this is a timing issue because midterms are coming up? is that part of the focus? yeah. if you look at the president s tweets and if you look at rudy giuliani s statements, what they are saying is, you know, wrap this up, wrap this up, let s get this done by september 7th so we don t have this dragging into the mid terms. may i just lynn, go ahead. this is the good part about the tweets and the insight. he went to bed tweeting about allowing don mcgahn to testify. that is 12 hours ago. five minutes ago, he did that tweet that you just talked about, about don mcgahn. what an insight into the president. so he goes to bed thinking about this and he is getting up this morning thinking about this and trying to put out these tweets to set the agenda for the sunday shows. do you think it has anything to do with timing as ross is suggesting about the fact that
