capitol hill, this is all setting a precedent whereby we re not even staffing up on these committees. yeah. we may be issuing a report out of burr s committee, but even when we had the investigation into whitewater. right. even after the election in 2000, where we had we thought a problem with the integrity of our voting system with pregnant ballots or hanging chads. hanging chads, yes. the congress came together i was in florida then. i don t remember pregnant ballots but hanging chads. i thought that was a thing, wasn t it? i don t think so. so cute. maybe it with was. maybe. i m sure it was. yeah. but the point is that congress is also taking its cue from the president s visceral dislike of any talk even of doing anything on russia. if you listen to the testimony yesterday, the really scary thing, again, despite the anonymity, that it may be too
counterparts the foreign ministers of other european nations. they are talking a lot in this statement about the 1994 budapest agreement. as you know that s the agreement that among other things convinced ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for the promise that its territorial sovereignty would be respected. we ve been discussing this internally at cnn because if that is not upheld and if the world does not show that it is serious about allowing, making sure that ukraine, the promises made to ukraine are kept, in other words, you gave up your nuclear weapons, the rest of the world will make sure in exchange that your territorial sovereignty is respected, is it not important setting a precedent as the united states and other countries try to convince countries like iran, north korea, others to not have nuclear weapons or to give up their nuclear weapons, is it not important to show that the world the word of the world
