We wanted to make it clear out gate. And there was a lot of anticipation for today a lot of people counting down to this and weve seen senators speaking all throughout the afternoon aboutiates and everything else. A lot of testimony there and interesting testimony. Tom fitzgerald joins us now. So, fitz, i saw Washington Post headline today it said yates throws white house under bus. Well, the bus not only went under over the white house and backed up a few times and wept along the route as this went there were good things and bad things in here you have to imagine from the white house prospective. On the one hand you had president obama former director of National Intelligence doubling down on that statement he told meet the press that up until this point he still snows of no evidence showing that the Trump Campaign directly participated in or had knowledge of russian interference in the 2016 election. So theres that. But make no mistak what sally yates had to say today was eyeopening.

Violence of any kind is never justified and is the last refuge of the incompetent. Thankfully, none of the members or their staff or police were killed today. And i will say this even in the horror of this day, there was reason to take heart in bipartisan responses like this we will use this occasion as one that brings us together, and not separates us further. We are united in our shock. We are united in our anguish. And an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Stephen so i just want to say thank you to the congressional leadership and to the president for responding to this act of terro
