God to be here. Maria investigation is turning criminal now dagen in terms of the origins to have russia probe, we are seeing more and more evidence of really exactly what went down as weve been discussing for the last 2 and a half years. Dagen ability to enpanel panel a grand jury and with bob mueller, the way special counsel worked, he couldnt report to congress, technically john durham would be able to report to congress, again, being out like keeping congress and the public informed about whats going on is going to be very important and flies in the face of what the democrats are doing in terms of this process because its not really impeachment.
