Is there wire fraud or fraud on Karen Mcdougal . What did she think she was signing . Theres a host of questions and possible crimes that could be charged. I think they are running scared from Michael Cohen. I think also theyre running scared from him because of what has come out about what hes saying about the 2016 Trump Tower Meeting with also goes a long way, if true, in helping to put trump in a conspiracy with the russians. Its important to note sort of one of the main take aways. Because Rudy Giuliani did address that. And he suddenly says that trump, it wasnt that he didnt know the Trump Tower Meeting took place. Its that trump wasnt there. We already knew that President Trump was never at that Trump Tower Meeting. The issue always that he absolutely had no knowledge of it. Now Rudy Giuliani
underway. but so far that s correct. it s not underway. so far house speaker paul ryan and mitch mcconnell haven t been willing to bend. ryan says he hopes the president can be patient. except for this when he was asked about a shutdown. is the funding of the border wall going to wait until after the midterm elections? ? probably. and that s something we do have a disagreement on. so homeland security won t get funded? most of the government will be funded. you re not worried about a government shutdown? that s not going to happen. he wasn t last week. the president says he need a wall at the southern border to stop immigrants he claims pour in and infest our country. for fact s sake, let s say what his own department of homeland security says about that situation at the border. in government fiscal near 2016 there were just over 563,000 apprehensions at the southern
president trump holding a meeting with republican and democratic lawmakers at the white house to see if they can reach a concensus on gun legislation. i want to you listen this this exchange with elizabeth esty whose district includes sandy hook. and i was sitting with new member training when i got calls and texts about a school shooting what turned out to be 20, 6 and 7-year-olds. i haven t had a day i don t think about that, chris and i don t think about tp. that s been our nightmare for the people we represent it s now ted s knierim and now yours. why didn t they do something about it when that happened? i mean when you look at columbine, you look at so many horrible events why didn t they do something about it? why didn t this group of people plus others and some have gone and some will be here. we tried. i think people tried. but i think your point is this
