issue. it is urgent analysis. it is not something like, can you consider moving this policy over here. it is my paper straw, given. paper straws are great, electric cars are great, until we deal with fossil fuels none of it matters. exactly. you had vaughn hillyard on earlier talking about jeff sessions. donald trump has a his story of letting people back into his orbit after they left in a negative way. you know some of them. i think he will. if you ask if it is between jeff sessions and roy moore? no, doug jones. or doug jones? he s going with jeff sessions. it might happen. i think he is going to go with jeff sessions rather than lose a republican supporter in the senate. i m katie tur. it is 11:00 a.m. out west and 2:00 p.m. in washington where despite some government officials close to the president declaring absolute immunity to avoid testifying to congress, others are painting a damning picture of what happened around ukraine. today is day 46 of the
they find ways of ignoring it. it was unfortunate that he did it but not an impeachable offense. my goodness, this is a case where you ve got a president of the united states basically extorting another foreign leader for his own political benefit. i can t think of something that would be more impeachable than that. katie, i would also say this. you know, what is even worse about this or just as bad is you look at what the president tweeted all weekend long. if anybody else in america employed by a tv station or a law firm or a bank had tweeted that stuff, they would have faced hr on monday morning who would have said, you better start or you re going to get fired. what specifically are you talking about? yeah, and if the response to that from the employee was, forget about it, i m a stable genius or i have unmatched wisdom, you would say, okay, if you could clean out your things today that would be good. and while he was doing all of that this weekend, ron w iran w
information he has about more egregious offenders. i m wondering about the climate here because on the one hand the doj is criminally investigating the investigators when it comes to the investigation into the 2016 election, the robert mueller investigation. on the other hand, the sdny has had a lot of free rein it seems to pursue investigations at will and to indict at will. i m thinking michael cohen in particular. rudy giuliani used to head the sdny. rudy giuliani is not on the bubble like michael cohen was. he s still very close to the president. and it seems like he has at least some relationship with william barr. how would that affect an investigation into rudy giuliani? well, katy, i agree with you, i think this is the elfingerprielephant in the room. under normal circumstances i would expect the doj to act in good faith and pursue the evidence where it goes. put william barr has acted in a way that i think makes it

katy. who is he and why is jim jordan so upset about this happening on a saturday? he s a top state department official, knows a bit about ukraine. the dueling channels here between traditional diplomacy and the side channel diplomacy between rudy giuliani and ukraine and the president of the united states, so he brings more expertise there and can help answer more direct questions about what the state department knew and how they were handling this issue. as to jim jordan s complaint, the republican push back on so much of this process so far has been process oriented, feeling as though the inquiry itself needs to be opened up more, get more members of congress involved, get the public involved. the other day jim jordan sent a letter to mr. jordan copying the committee chairs essentially apologizing for the fact they
