but i think to susan s point, this is critical. he announced, because he had to own the field early. he had to claim the nominations and say this is still my party. but what he hasn t done is actually run. if he s not going to run, then it doesn t matter, he didn t get in it to win, it he won it for prosecution defense, or grift as michael cohen side. okay. don, susan, dated, many thanks guys appreciable. meantime, christmas came early for the house committee and there s another big that led committee, one member s bill to answer question everyone has wanted for years? my dad knew your come too fast? 12 hours!! not coughing? hashtag still not coughing?! mucinex dm gives you 12 hours of relief from chest congestion and any type of cough, day or night. mucinex dm. it s comeback season.
but we got to know what it is. okay. so then-candidate trump, all right this is just days before that meeting. here s what he said. you know, the people of crimea, from what i ve heard, would rather be with russia than where they were. i mean that sounds like a kremlin talking point. is that suspicious to you? it is suspicious. what s even more suspicious is there s you know, clip after clip of him saying, i had no dealings with russia. i have no dealings with russia and so on. and he, at the same time, was sending out all of his people to have dealings with russia, or maybe they were doing it all freelance. but it sure seemed suspicious, and that s what the michael cohen side of the investigation is about. was he negotiating trump tower moscow at the same time? and, you know, to me the most important point, don, is not that he lied. it s the kompromat. it s the compromising material that the russian government has had on him since the start because they ve known after al
