trump jr. when he shows up, because he doesn t really have a credible face. well, we are calling for public hearings and would be delighted to have junior at a hearing. this has been an act of war by russia and it should not be lost on any of us that they have used multiple platforms to undermine this democracy, whether it was the tv stations or facebook. or hacking into our political institutions, the dnc, and the republican national committee, or furthermore, hacking into the very election system, both the voting records and i m not convinced that they did not get into the machines. and that is what we have to spend a lot of time on. we don t know that yet. senator, what is your position on subpoenaing people like flynn, the sr. and maybe the junior flynn. and also bringing in question like maybe donald trump junior, because i was getting the clear
