the regular line, fbi and doj. i don t think robert mueller is the arbitor of truth in america. we can make our own judgment based on what has come out so far. the mueller report is going to be important. the idea that we re in some perfect thing between the fbi is a nest of corrupt leftists and the ffbi was trying to do their job, i don t think those he is not you are right. he was appointed in 2017 because you had a situation where the white house and doj and fbi were at odds. you bring in someone with a sterling reputation at the time. republicans even sung his praises. who is just in charge of this one case out of the chain of command. that way we don t know what s in his report. this is why you have a special counsel. this is happening as this new attorney general has been sworn
executive branch. i think you have a situation here where republicans who were critical then are as jeffrey said going to probably fall in line with an executive overreach in this case by president trump. we don t flknow how the president is going to divert potentially billions of dollars from existing appropriated funds to go ahead and use that money to build his wall. legally, what do you anticipate? a couple steps. we will see lawsuits from different interest groups right away, questionable whether they have standing or not. then it seep seems we might se resolution of disapproval from the house. nadler hinted at this. if that happens, then it turns to the senate for a vote. that s where things could get dicey, given all the republicans you played sound from them, do they hold firm on that? do they back the president? mcconnell has signalled he would back the president. will the rest fall in line? i have a guess.
released that manafort shared polling data in 2016 with kilimnick. he said they need to be investigated further even as republicans say at this point there s no signs of any collusion between trump campaign and the russians, but this revelation from the federal judge last night that paul manafort lied about those interactions with kilimnick add ing more fodder to mark warner as they push forward on the russia probe. you re right. it looks like this division on capitol hill over this in intensifying. it is and i think one of the reasons we see is clearly because now there s more focus on the senate because the house is in democratic hands, the chairmanships are in democratic hands. there s more pressure on burr, ranking member of the intelligence committee, to hold a line for republicans. whether how that plays out though and how that affects his relationship with senator warner, we ll see. how do you see it?
