We can expect Democratic Senators to hone in on mccabe to try to get some information about what is happening. Shifting timelines from the white house, undercutting republican support and their resistance for the calls for a special counsel or prosecutor here. That will, obviously, dominate this hearing.

There was a deadline the other day for a voluntary submission of documents from general flynn and others involved in this controversy. Obviously, not met a subpoena forthcoming and, also an invitation now from the same committee to jim comey himself now, of course, a private citizen to come and testify before this committee and presumably in close session as early as next tuesday, hallie. I want to know what is going on behind you. See anybody coming in and out. Anybody saying anything to this hearing so far . No, weve seen the chairman richard burr

Sandra not that well, dont start rumors here. Bill nice to see you while. Its a great day, im very excited for tonight. Ill keep my powder dry and tell you why. Harris lets get to the news paid republicans on the House Intelligence Committee are voting to release a classified memo they say reveals Major Concerns about abuses of government surveillance powers in the Russian Investigation. Now President Trump has five days to review that memo. The white house says he will meet with his National Security team and counsel to talk about it in the coming days. If he wants, he can object to the release of that memo. The congressman jim jordan believes the president will approve it. I think well go thumbs up, but every journalist in the country see and let every american see this memo.

One thing we know for sure is that nbc screwed up, but thats pretty much allha we can be certain of. If nbcs first story was wrong, why do we assume the second was right . We dont know the truth and we have no way of knowing. In the absence of honesty from our government, we are totally dependent upon leaks for our news and many of those are dishonest. Michael cohen by the way stillly doesnt know why his office was rated why his phones and emails were reported to the government. No one in the government isic required to tell him nor will they tell him. Imagine if that happened to you, one day men arrived at your home and seized your computers and files at gunpoint, and never explained why they were doing it, and the next thing you knew, the
