Rose welcome to the program. We begin this evening with two members of the House Intelligence Committee, dem krad kem krat adam schiffnd republican peter king. They got a sense of why this is is such an important matter and why it deserves investigation. The breathed of the russian attack on our democracy, the fact that the fbi has an Ongoing Investigation to determine whether there was coordination between the Trump Campaign and the russians. As well as the directors, both of their willingness to establish that there is no evidence to support the president s claim that he was wiretapped by his predecessor. Any one of those things i think on a normal day would be quite a revelation but there was a lot packed in today. And i think ultimately the most important thing is it gave a good glimpse at why this is so serious. And why we ought to do Everything Possible to do a thorough investigation and conduct it in a nonpartisan way. We continue with Matthew Rosenberg of the New York Times and
