involved in this inquiry and in fact under federal indictment. i ll just add one other thing from page nine, one of the big picture summary items here that democrat reaches, there were so many other officials in the government either knowledgeable or involved they say up to and including the defense secretary, the chief of staff and the vice president. republican pence was someone who democrats wanteded to get a lot more information from alopg the way. they had a state department employee who was detailed to the vice president s office come and testify both in closed door and in public. but they were stone walled by the vice president s office. one member that i think we ll hear a lo lot of of 71 different either requests for documents or subpoenas, that were blocked by the administration. they argue in this that it s as clear cut of case of obstruction as you could possibly find and i think there s maybe some validity to that argument. drats will haemocrats will have easier time argui
