dana: all right, peter doocy stick around. we will bring our panel back, don t go away and we will be right back. dana? i do have one more thing but john roberts come up close he was supposed to leave at 3:00 today. dana: for that trip, codell? he might have been on the way to the airport. if your flight is supposed to leave at 3:00 and it s a half an hour drive from the capital, it is safe to say. but yeah, and outgoing. codell, or would have been out of the country tuesday at midnight. dana: actually, might be sitting there a while. dana: amazing and terrific timing as you are trying to get a shot end. stick around, peter and collin reed, greg steve, the panel we will be back with him right after this.
