I think the bigger point is because theres something there, wed love for him to come and see it, which is what we said. It turns out theres something of sub tastance there for him t know about and if there wasnt, he would have walked out that moment from the white house and come out and declared this was a big waste of time and a big doll and pony though, but he didnt. He hasnt and therefore, i think thats very telling in what he probably saw on friday. Its certainly is an attempt to distract and hide the orgin of the materials, the white house hand, the question is is of course why and i think that the answer to the question is is this effort to point the congress in other directions. Basically say dont look at me, at russia, theres nothing to see here. You know, i would tell people when ever they see the president use the word fake,
President trumps former National Security adviser, Michael Flynn, pleading guilty today to lying to the fbi. He is now cooperating. Flynn now the most senior white house official that we know of cooperating with mueller and he is the fourth member of Trumps Campaign to be charged as part of the russia probe.

Documents from his plea hearing revealing that a quote, very Senior Member of trumps Transition Team directed him to reach out to foreign governments including russias to find out where they stood on a u. N. Security counsel resolution about israeli settlements and to pressure them.

Flynn also admitting that he lied to investigators about his calls with the Russian Ambassador. Those calls focusing o

Today the rules committee, a panel that usually meets to little fanfare in a small room of the capitol was the focus of the attention. They met to set the rules for tomorrows historic vote and Republicans United in their opposition used to forum to vent. Sadly, the democrats impeachment inquiry has been flawed and partisan from day one so i guess it should come as no surprise that democrats preordained outcome is flawed. Were in a kangaroo court. Its backwards. Were more alice in wonderland than we are the house of representatives. There are a couple of signs of dissension. Nearly all of the centrist democrats announced they will vote yes on impeachment.
