Over the coming week, besides whether congress will fund the government before thursdays shutdown deadline more on that later is whether donald trump will attempt to fire the top doj official overseeing the russia investigation, Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein. The fear hell use the nunes memo to act against rosenstein and perhaps replace him with some willing to derail or even shut down the russia investigation.

Good afternoon, good luck. Thats the answer coming from Rudy Giuliani. Does he want to interview the president . Good luck. After what they did to flynn, the way they trapped him into perjury. When you say good luck, you mean, no interview. Thats a joke, over my dead body, but you know, i could be dead. Making the tv rounds, giuliani seemed to cause more harm than good. Things went awry when discussing building a trump tower in moscow. Those discussions went on until the election. According to the answer that he gave, it would have covered all the way up to november of 2016. Earlier they sent those conversations stopped in january of 2016.
