trump team and republicans who called schiller to testify or to be interviewed thought that this would be that this would put the matter to rest. and as ken just pointed out, there are a a number of ways in which democrats are seizing on it to suggest that, though, it verifies, corroborates a sort of key part of this and it doesn t put the matter to rest because, of course, he didn t remain outside of trump s door for the entirety of the time for the entirety of the night. now, it sort of shows the degree to which democrats have seized on this particular instance which is in the dossier as sort of this holy grail. like if they can prove this or get any corroborating evidence of this, it would somehow be the smoking gun that would sort of begin the process of mueller actually being able to bring some kind of charges against donald trump. really it s difficult to see how it would, a and then b, there
bowling alley because there s like three different rooms, and all of the rooms in this bowling alley are full. pam, as we re watching you, we re watching miguel almaguer on the naval helicopter where they are lifting someone else into that military chopper that is rescuing people who are stranded in beaumont. i want to bring bill karins in. this corroborates about things being worse off pam, do we still have you on the line? yes. how many people made it from the civic center to the bowling alley? i don t know if anybody came from the civic center. i heard that there s people still at the civic center. that was that s the pictures we had shown with people in the bleachers and 2 to 3 feet of water on the ground. right, we were supposed to go there but they got to the water got too high and couldn t make it. now your mayor had said the entire city is flooded which we didn t know if it was a general
