in washington certainly never set foot in a congressional hearing room because republicans kept their hearings fired up in their dogged pursuit to question hillary clinton. jason chaste said it s a target-rich environment even before we get to the day one. we ve got two years of material already lined up. she has four years of history at the state department, and it ain t good. well, that was then. one month and one presidential election ago and this is now. give him a chance, he hasn t even been sworn in yet. it s pretty hard to criticize him or suggest that there should be an investigation by congress when the guy hasn t even been sworn in yet. the possibility of a clinton possibility had chaffetz ready for a roast, the looming donald
white house with unprecedented conflicts of interest. indeed constitutional scholars warning that because he s poised to personally profit from the presidency he may be committing a clear impeachable offense on his first day in office. democrats are appealing to them to play fair. representative elijah cummings and his colleagues sending chaffetz a pair of letters asking him to take the obvious step and investigate trump s conflicts. how did chaffetz respond? didn t. silence. we got the same answer. twice today we asked him to make a statement, they turned us down. he did appear on fox news where he mocked democrats call for action. give him a chance. he hasn t even been sworn in yet. it s hard to criticize him or suggest an investigation by congress when the guy hasn t been sworn in yet. hasn t been sworn in yet. kevin mccarthy embarrassed his party last year when he suggested that the benghazi committee was in reality a
twice today we asked him to make a statement, they turned us down. he did appear on fox news where he mocked democrats call for action. give him a chance. he hasn t even been sworn in yet. it s hard to criticize him or suggest an investigation by congress when the guy hasn t been sworn in yet. hasn t been sworn in yet. kevin mccarthy embarrassed his party last year when he suggested that the benghazi committee was in reality a partisan effort to damage hillary clinton. for some reason i can t figure out why mccarthy no longer thinks those sorts of investigations are such a good idea. telling reporters, quote, i think it s been a bad thing, it s harmed the ability for people all to work together. here s the short answer for what republicans in congress will do barring a massive story they simply can t ignore about trump s conflicts of interest and possible corruption absolutely nothing. the effort to hold trump
programs under hhs but really attack the obamacare meltdown from the perspective of a provider who cares about the patience and the doctor and his point of view will persuade a lot of democrats, i think, the come forward. i ve already heard the president-elect say, maybe we keep the preexisting conditions. 60 minutes. so it s going to be a negotiation but dr. price and congressman price, about the perfect person to lead that when the president-elect sends someone up to the hill to have those conversations. let me ask you about the president-elect and what he tweeted earlier this morning. folks who burn the american flag should perhaps be put in jail or lose citizenship. we heard from our chief legal correspondent who did note the supreme court has said that flag burning is protected by the first amendment. justice scalia himself. why can he tweet out stuff like this? guy hasn t had a news conference in about five months. he s not taking questions from
polls. will that happen again for the less inspiring hillary clinton candida candidacy? if there s news that makes democrats less enthusiastic, republican constituencies tend to vote. they re the people who pay their cable bills on the day it arrives. democrats, maybe yes, maybe no. how does this play to them in terms of is this something that makes them say, oh, i guess she has real trouble, or does it make them play the, wow, look, they re really out to get her. this guy hasn t even looked at the e-mails yet and he s coming out this close to an election when i ve heard people like jeffrey say you re not supposed to do that. i think my own attitude towards sports. i generally know 48 hours before the super bowl who s in it. i may know the name of one of the quarterbacks. but that s it. and i can be easily influenced by stray bits of information. in the same way, late deciding voters do not follow politics
