Hearing, but thats what it turned into. Of course we know its going to be partisan, but this hyperpartisanship that were in now is just really unprecedented and its really unbelievable. I was embarrassed actually watching today. I was sitting there, saying, chris, this is whos running our country . What is going now we know why people want to vote the bums out. You know what, thats the hope. The hope is people will see this and say we want better. No matter your stripe, right, left, or reasonable, that you make different choices based on what youre seeing. Look, i am a lawyer, which means that im very, very good at eating chinese food. Or reading body language. What was that . It sounded like you and me after ten drinks on the weekend. Well, speak for your simpselt i do have to say, you know, we have to figure out what were going to do, and i dont think the people in washington, many of them did themselves a service today, any service. Guaranteed. Thank you, chris. See you soon. Nice j
The documents. The documents we received from a different source and the initial batch in mid september. Im not understanding. You said you got go back. Did you get documents from bruce orr in. Yes. At some point we received material. What were those document snz. We received documents, not me excuse me, sir. I can maybe make it simpler. Was it the dossier . What i am authorized to tell you in response to a question did you receive documents from bruce orr the fbi directed me that i may say not me, the fbi received documents and material from mr. Orr. Did you . I appreciate that. You did not . No. The fbi did get documents from bruce orr. Yes, sir. Did they get the dossier . My direction from the fbi is i may tell you the fbi received material. This is amazing. This is amazing. Nelly orr let us bring the director of the fbi to answer those questions. The gentleman cannot answer. Asked and answered. He cannot answer. The regular order. I understand, mr. Chairman. The fbi has instructed
Will you authorize release of them to the United States congress . No, sir. Mr. Chairman, point of inquiry. Im trying to understand his answer. My understanding was that the Inspector General did not see what he is claiming to be his personal text, that they were requested and he delivered what he said was business related. So if i understand correctly, no one has seen anything that he determined, mr. Strzok, determined would not be delivered because in his opinion they were not business related. I have a number of texts in front of me that i would say were very personal that were looking at that undoubtedly he would have objected to turning over. The gentleman makes a good point. He may want to ask questions about that when hes recognized. First, the gentlewoman from texas. Mr. Chairman, thank you very much. Im sorry my colleague walked out before mr. Strzok gave his answers. I hate no one. I do not hate the administration, the president , my colleagues. I honor this nation. So i beli
The United States commitment to nato is very strong, we mains very strong. But primarily because everyone, the spirit they have, the amount of money they are willing to spend, the additional money that they will be putting up. Germany has agreed to do a lot better than they were doing and were very happy with that. We had a very Good Relationship with angela merkel. Im meeting with president putin on monday and i think we go into that meeting not looking for so much. I hope that we are going to be able to get along with russia. I think well probably be able to. He is representing russia, im representing the United States. So in a sense were competitors. Not a question of friend or enemy. He is not my enemy. And hopefully someday maybe he will be a friend. Bill that was in brussels. Kevin corke is now in london. Good afternoon. There appears to be a disagreement over exactly what the president was able to get our allies to agree to. Where is the discrepancy and where are we now . Listen
Sir, it is as frustrating to me as it is to you. I can tell you, sir, i would love you know what, agent strzok . Mr. Chairman, may the witness be permitted to answer . The gentleman will suspend. If its so frustrating, answer the question. If youll allow him to, im sure he will. He has never answered the question. Stop interrupting him. Were showing you the highlights, but i have to tell you this was unique what we saw today, the level of disarray, the level of dysfunction on really all sides. A standout moment, though. A republican made trumps case that the probe is a witch hunt by attacking strzok as a philanderer. Not a trace of irony on his face. Listen to this. I cant help but wonder when i see you looking there with a little smirk, how many times did you look so innocent into your wifes eye and lie to her about oh, mr. Chairman. Now, i just want to emphasize this. It was much more heat than light today, and literally you just heard that republican congressman from texas say, beli
