Wolf Blitzer looks at politics, breaking news and international stories. Undoubtedly, hes going to confirm all the suspicions mounting for the past year that hes been using his chairmanship to protect the president. We recall last year when he viewed some things he viewed as problematic in those intelligence reports. He rushed to the white house, briefed the president about it before even briefing his committee. He was forced to step aside from the Russia Investigation on his Committee Last year, but he still wielded considerable influence from the outside.

You have to go in front of the entire body and say who youre going to vote for. The democrats lack leadership. I dont think they have the right policies. To the point of the peace beforehand, i dont think that there is some big wave coming from the democrats. I sat there in 2010, the rafter, the election after barack obama.
