The penalty of perjury. And some they provide a road map of potential leads that the special counsel is exploring to ultimately determine whether the president colluded with russia or obstructed justice. According to the New York Times, muellers questions emerged from the ongoing negotiations whether President Trump will ultimately speak to prosecutes. They were read by the special counsel investigators to the president s lawyers who compiled them into a list. That document was provided to the times by a person outside mr. Trumps legal team. And while the questions themselves are fairly broad they could represent a legal minefield for a president known to stretch the truth. Today, in an attempt to distort the news in his favor, President Trump incorrectly claimed that none of the questions related to potential collusion with russia. So disgraceful that the questions concerning the russia witch hunt were leaked to the media. No questions on collusion. Oh, i see, you have a made up phony
Trouble. Again, markets move in both directions, and theyre functioning very well. And later treasonable doubt.

Secretary mattis has a point and well get to it in a few moments. But we begin with another day of extreme volatility on wall street. The dow with losses of more than 500 points, with gains to nearly 400 points. Yesterday its largest single point day loss in history. Right now you can see there the dow up a little bit. A stomachchurning few days, but in the grand scheme of things, a small blip in a nineyear bull market. If you had 100,000 in an s p 500 index fund on election day in 2016, well,
