immigration, health reform and if they can work in a bipartisan manner, i think 2020 will be interesting. if they focus only on these investigations and i think everyone s going to be very upset in the next two years are going to be a waste of everyone s lives. juan: lawrence, what do you see it? what you hear from nancy pelosi, it s not going to scattershot. they have specific targets. lawrence: what are they requesting? it s traditional that people give up their taxes but there s no legal right for a candidate to give it up. it s political. juan: no, i don t think it s political. lawrence: there s no investigation that needs to happen. he has the right to withhold his taxes. colluding with the russians, where they getting involved in this and they told us they were wanting mueller to finish the investigation. juan: i think they do want mueller.
if that s the best the democrats will put forward after having won the house, 2020 will look awfully good for the republicans. bill: jerry nadler, democrat from new york said our very first witness on or after january 3 will be to subpoena or summon if necessary mr. whitaker. they have him initially in their sights. you know, they will find out that s a clean operation, so if he is in their sights, they are focusing on the wrong area if there is any right area to focus on. bill: axios had this headline. democrats load subpoena cannon with 85 plus trump targets. do you think there will be a battle inside the party how the strategy plays out? in the democrat party. bill: nancy pelosi says it won t be scatter shot. how do you control it? there won t be a battle, but
been a little bit scatter shot. i certainly know from my reporting that republicans on the hill have tried very hard to focus him where they would like him to be focused at any given moment. this race did sneak up on a lot of republicans here in washington. but what s the president s thinking about, you know, his role in the midterms? obviously he s saying out loud i want to go to all these places. as rick points out, this place should be one where republicans help. broad republican territory. that is not necessarily true across the map. that s not true across the map, but the president who does president always like to travel, he s actually by all accounts been eager to be out on the road as we mentioned earlier. he wants the personal adulation. he s there campaigning for, he gets from the crowds. people sometimes suggest a rally maybe in september, october and he ll say, that sounds great but let s do it now. can we do it next week? so he s eager to get out there. you were at all
