inquiry. i m trying to understand his answer. my understanding was that the inspector general did not see what he is claiming to be his personal text that these were that they were requested and that he delivered what he said was business-related. so if i understand correctly, no one has seen anything that he determined, mr. strzok determined would not be delivered, because in his opinion they were not business-related. i have a number of texts in front of me that i would say were very personal that we re looking at that undoubtedly he would have objected to turning over. the gentlemen makes a very good point and he may want to ask questions about that when he is to be recognized but first ms. jackson lee from texas for five minutes. i m sorry that my colleague walked out before mr. strzok could give his answers, i hate no one. i do not hate the administration, the president, my colleagues, in fact i love
congress and is now to appear behind closed doors on friday and into monday to talk more about this. so the reality is this is very, very far from over, chris. yes, matt, lisa page, as she pointed out they wanted her there today. now it s going to be tomorrow. chairman goodlate, trey gowdy, expected to have some tough questions for her as well. based on what you saw today, what should she be expecting? i think she ll be expecting a bunch of very unfair questions. look, she was willing to come in and do an interview yesterday. she had to delay that because she wasn t a bell ble to review fbi documents she was asked about. i think she ll make the same point you heard pete strzok make at the beginning of his testimony, which is really the typical point which gets lost in this back and forth. for all these accusations against him, for these conspiracy theories he was
together to put a tax bill together. i think they get something done and done before christmas. mitch mcconnell, speaking of spending, talking about a shutdown, he says a shutdown won t happen. as garrett points out, we don t know how the talks go until chuck, mitch and paul head to the white house on thursday. that is the day before the funding is set to run out. are you as confident as mitch mcconnell that on friday we won t be talking about a shutdown? there are a lot of ways to get to avoiding a shutdown. obviously, this has problems for republicans, my understanding of what they talked about last night between the white house and congressman meadows and the house freedom caucus was taking it up until after christmas, maybe until the 30th of december. you can always do a day, two, three days. those are things that you can probably get done just by turning over. if you can t get that done, there s a real problem. but that would be a problem on the democrats side as opposed to th
this morning we re getting word there s confusion within the diplomatic core about the direction of the new administration, a lot of confusion. one example, the president called nato obsolete multiple times. cabinet picks praise the alliance. diplomats say what? number of key positions unfilled. many leaders and diplomats overseas don t know who to turn to for clarity. cnn s elise labott has new information this morning. what are you learning? this is a little typical of any administration that s turning over, especially when there s a different party, especially after eight years of the obama administration. what s unusual in this situation is that you have a combination of a lot of top management positions at the state department gone, a lot of those people were political appointees that left after the administration but also a lot of career officials also left. they took out that institutional knowledge with them. some of them have served for
that make sure everybody sees everything. get this out of the way. turning over. they are going to look at it and they are going to investigate what is on it. so juan. that s not a criminal investigation. why isn t she doing it? well with i he guess it goes back to what i said at the very top to you william. i think she is very entitled and privileged and she thinks she doesn t have to do it. you will still despite all that you will still vote for her. me? you mean compared to any republican in the field at the moment? compared to anybody gandhi could be running and you would still vote for hillary. what if bill o reilly was running for president man come on. deported williams. say hello to kunga. mary katharine give me the last word. i think she is not interested in doing business in a transparent way. she has made that clear many times. i think she doesn t want to turn over because she doesn t want people to find out what was on it. if she did she would have don
