we don t know where any of this is going and i keep coming back to that because why do we need to decide the case here? yes. the s prima facia evidence the president may have obstructed justice but we have a long ways to go high re we have a long ways to go tonight. stunning details we are expecting to hear on capitol hill tomorrow about president trump s fired fbi director james comey. as well as we ll have more on the president s reaction in a moment. and i thought, well, you need to go to the doctor. i was told that is was cancer, and i called cancer treatment centers of america. dr. nader explained that they can pinpoint the treatment. once we identified that there was this genetic abnormality in her tumor, we were able to place her on very specific therapy. our individualized care model gives each lung patient specific treatment options with innovative procedures that are changing the way we fight lung cancer. we have excellent technology that allow
