Special coverage with Mollie Hemingway. Mollie, thanks a lot for coming on. What strikes you about what we know now . We really wont know yet whats in their report.

The reason why thats significant, you take a step back and think about what brought us here. Several years ago, there was a political operation that was secretly bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National committee to claim that donald trump was an agent of russia. This was back to the media who largely took it uncritically and accepted it and push it out.

Routinely. In any other election and we have had new elections. It is then because the outcome of the election was affected. I would remind that you 283,000 people cast legal votes in this race.
