Sir i do congressman and your lawyers have looked at this large concern definition thoroughly and if given you advice yes congressman if the black letter law was so clear and black letter how is it that weve got different attorneys given as you in the united different opinions. Thats rhetorical question. That that with respect to this issue. Just to clarify my caucus and was in our group in front of us last week did a very good job of telling us what he did what he didnt do we now know for sure what it is that he was able to do as part of his investigation he did not request records of the call from the president and the reason he did as he did the difficulty working through all of that would have probably meant that he couldnt comply with a 14 day timeframe so even he did not try to.

The president ial oath of office requires the president of the United States to do two things, faithfully execute his or her office and protect and defend the constitution. That oath, of course, cannot be honored if the president does not first defend the country. If our National Security is jeopardized, if our country is left undefended, the necessity to faithfully execute the office becomes moot, where there is no country, there is no office to execute, and so the duty to defend the nation is foundational to the p

Theres nothing available. I have been bugging the department. And you are going to approve the project. Y
