moderate republicans, but the money has always been a big part of it, the town halls where they would show up to pressure members of congress have always been a big part of it. we re seeing a combination of pressure points. targeting these lawmakers and two now on the money side. now these trifss are not nye yooef. and they know there will have to be a change in control of the senate. so they re not giving up on that but they also say hook, we re in a crisis situation. the rate of gun deaths is the highest it has been in 40 years, so these companies are in a potion, both through their policies of donating and who they support to actually make change much more quickly than perhaps congress is. heidi thank you for your reporting on this.
may be exposure by don jr. and allen wiesel berg on the money side and check-writing side. let me hypothetically compose if there s a conspiracy with all four of these people and we know the southern district cannot charge the president right now because the office of legal counsel memo says you can t indict a sitting president, then it could be the southern district of new york has an interest in bringing one unified conspiracy case against all four possible co-conspirators the day president trump leaves office. i m not saying that s going to happen. i m saying i don t think we can jump to the conclusion based on judge pauley s order today there will never be charges brought. jeremy bash, let me just play one of the people that has essentially pleaded guilty to his role in this conspiracy testifying to the role and participation of some of the other individuals just now named
