So who really does speak for the president . And the israeli Prime Minister arriving in washington to start a new relationship with the white house. Iran, hezbollah, syria and settlements. There is plenty to discuss. This story begins at the end of december. President obama had just imposed new sanctions on russia in retaliation for moscow hacking the election. Donald trumps senior Foreign Policy advisor, general mike flynn, hopped on the phone with russias ambassador to discuss the penalty.

In fact, he said today, hes willing to have comey and rogers come in behind closeddoors testimony, but he also wants a guarantee that clapper, that yates, and others are going to testify openly and that hasnt been assured. Even today, he still hasnt gotten assurances from nunes thats going to occur. And jack, let me also ask you, if you were d
americans believe that barr is covering up for trump and not being transparent. they give him a negative rating for how he handled the mueller report. 44% say they don t approve of what he has done with the mueller report. if that makes you feel better it has no effect on anything. it s a poll. the american people are not being hood winked by a guy who is now trump s lawyer. this is what trump wished for all along. he wanted a attorney general like holder was. the russian story is now into summer reruns. i saw it on the first run. i don t need to see it again. i know what the flynn story is about. the economy is going well. the world is peaceful. they have to keep doing the russian story. greg, don t look here! we already looked for 2
