so when corker said what he said, i understood it. i mean, but this is what i knew all the time. but one of the things i tell my constituents, let me say this, is that while president trump is playing hocu s pocus, we have to keep our eyes on what we re fighting for. that is fighting for our destiny and our democracy. all right. thank you so much elijah. as always, we always greatly appreciate you being here. elijah cummings and willie, i sat on the government reform and oversight committee. i can tell you that republicans were shocked and stunned and deeply saddened by wasting tax dollars in a far less egregious ways than how trump s cabinet is wasting it. t really unbelievable that these are the people that said they were going to drain the swamp, and i have never in a quarter
ivanka s brothers. there s something wrong with this. in other words, what they did was take their e-mail accounts we wanted to look at and transfer them to an organization that they say they said that they had broken ties with because of conflicts of interest. and basically i m asking them what do you have to hide? and we will continue to pursue this. we want to know whether those documents were classified. what was done how the trump organization protecting those documents? and so, again, joe, going back to what you were talking about, let me tell you something. if democrats did one did this and republicans would go crazy. they would be all over it. we would be spending million and millions of dollars, but they are absolutely silent. you hear nothing but silence.
around the country on private jets and military jets for bizarre reasons like this. you have the treasury secretary that goes with his newlywed wife. they stand on the top of a pile of gold at fort knox to see a total eclipse of the sun. you have a vice president who does what may end up being a $500,000 pr stunt. they actually tell the press, sit tight, he s going to be right back down. he uses the secret service, government planes, flies out to indianapolis and back to l.a. you have the interior secretary and the epa, head of the epa, you have all these people living like rock stars on taxpayer s dollars. i can t imagine what republicans would say if barack obama or bill clinton s people did that. let me be clear, joe. the republicans in our congress and the senate are aiders and
could be the moment we are all looking for, where a bipartisan effort on the hill, to have hearings to examine these issues thoroughly to take them to the public results in productive legislation, also a real understanding of how the russians manipulated our election. how they tried to manipulate american voters. this could be a coming together moment that we need if it s handled properly by responsible adults. carol. there yeah. you know, talking about the russia investigation, you know, how do you, you are saying this could be a moment, how do you see what would be a good prescriptions for this and what are types of things that you think, you know, democrats and republicans could actually agree on? it will be important i think to keep everyone in their lane. bob mueller has a lane, engaging in criminal investigation here. but prosecutors have always played a role in looking forward, in seeing what sorts of
friends every day and spinning out of control in some ways. and really the question, we re only nine months into this thing. right. and he s got three years left of this. in addition to making all of us just totally exhausted, what does that mean for the country? and how are we going to sort of make it through this long yawning period in front of us? and the ugliest part is ahead, because we will be talking, willie, about elections and you are going to have donald trump going out trying to campaign for people or being angry at republicans to try to distance themselves from donald trump on the campaign trail and it s going to happen in places. it may not happen in a lot of places and it will happen. i want to get back to corker. nobody defending the president against this charge.
