special counsel. it feels unbalanced. so i think it s prudent to maybe take some time to determine the facts. abby: we ll see how people respond in john huber comes out and says we aren t going to put forward a special counsel, will people be satisfied with that, will there be an uproar saying, no, this is the wrong way to handle t.is pete: til we get to the bottom of what really happened. was a candidate spied on or not? that s as bad or worse than watergate and we re not getting those answers. griff: we ll ask chairman goodlatte of the house judiciary committee coming up in the next hour. i want to touch also this morning on the story i just got back from california abby: did you sleep at all, griff? griff: i got a little bit of sleep on the plane. abby: but it s a long flight out to california, you went on the ground to really get a good sense of what s going on there because it is now a sanctuary state and not everyone is happy about that. griff: that s right. there s been bac
expulsions, that s coming up next. bobob goodlatte and maria bartiromo coming up on the show, we ve got two big hours still to come. well, like most of you, i just bought a house.
counsel, and that is where jeff sessions comes into play. he s put someone in that role to assess this for the next little while and see what they come up with. pete: jeff sessions approach is you ve got the inspector general at d.o.j. horowitz doing his work, i want to appoint john huber you said of washington with subpoena powers and grand jury powers, they could work together to investigate whether or not a second counsel is necessary. basically lay the groundwork for it. and it seems that trey gowdy and goodlatte who are going to be on the program later are satisfied with that at least for now but a lot of conservatives saying why aren t we going straight to a special counsel if we have all this evidence from comey to mccabe to strzok to page to ohr, mcdonough, why aren t we looking that right out the gate? griff: and we had governor mike huckabee on the show the last hour and he said what is sort of a prevailing thought in washington now, this is a pretty good good step.
