former russian agent died without knowing what killed him. the results from a battery of tests came in too late but they did come in. it turned out he was killed by something far more lethal than common rat poison. it s pilonium. the news shocked the world even though most people weren t sure what it was but paul joil knew what it was that his friend effectively burned to death from radio activity. it is a horrible death. it is a gruesome death. he lived longer than any man normally would under those circumstances. and he lived just long enough within 12 hours long enough for
make this issue for the president? joining me now is senior foreign affairs correspondent for politico michael crowley. thank you. thank you, luke. schumer released in the middle of the debate and knew it would down play it and ordly lead the show and smart guy, he said this though. in his statement. i thought it was very striking. this is language we have heard from republicans and committee hearings. i m going to read it. quote, in the first ten years of the deal first inspections are not anywhere any time the 24-day delay is troubling while inspectors detect isotopes after 24 days that delay would allow iran to escape detection and approve a military dimension it is tool that is go into building a bomb and don t emit radio activity. that is a pretty forceful rebuke
