Starts right now. And good evening, thank you for joining us. Were waiting to hear from fbi director james comey whos going to speak at a dinner for the Intelligence Community. Well bring you those answers to questions live when they happen. Earlier today, the top two members, the Senate Intelligence committee spoke to reporters in advance of their first public hearing tomorrow into all things russia. And while its obviously too soon to draw any conclusions as to the shape of their investigations, the shape its going to take, its hard to miss the sharp contrast between todays rollout between straight

Today. Today you can sense the chant coming from the trump people. Listen closely and you can pick up a slightly different rhythm right now of dont lock me up, dont lock me up yesterday it was reported first by the Wall Street Journal that trumps former National Security adviser Michael Flynn, the guy saw there going after hillary, his lauer is looking to get flynn immunity in order to testify about what he knows. According to his lawyer trumps former National Security adviser certainly has a story to tell.

Question. Why isnt adam schiff saying, yeah, lets go look at it . Instead just like yesterday when he said hell go look at it. Let me finish.

I know this not because ive talked to him, but because ive read the documents and read the public reporting which you can read as well and you probably already know, which is that he was willing to sign the letter. In fact, he said today, hes willing to have comey and rogers come in behind closeddoors testimony, but he also wants a guarantee that clapper, that yates, and others are going to testify openly and that hasnt been assured.

Profiting off his ties to people in power. And companies that hired him like at t and novartis pony up for access, something that his boss railed against his candidate. I know the game.

The latest Political Developments of the day and interviews with top newsmakers are featured. The 06day period. This needs to be over with soon. I think its been very bad for the country and were at a point in this inquiry where they can wrap it up. Mayor, i know youve said and i said we want to see this come to closure soon here. Mayor . Yes, we do. Its about time that it ends. I also think and i hope the Special Counsel is sensitive it as we are. We do not want to run into the november elections. So you back up from that, this should be over with by september 1st. I think it needs to end very soon and it needs to end very soon because the nature of whats taking place here is irregular and thats being kind. From lock her up to wrap it up, that sounds like lawyer speak for we might be losing. The latest evolution of their messaging strategy from no dough lugs to collusion isnt really a crime to lets call the whole thing off, we see more signs today mueller is zeroing in on another trum
