They were close. The lights went out, the helicopters began to shoot. People were running left and right without direction, without knowing where they were going. It was not just machinegun fire. There were bombs. The noise w

The comments we heard from callers of questioning about whether president prshould have informed democratic leadership aheadof time. Currently in his comments he mentioned he didnt. Did we know what the president supposed to do or torby tradition has done in these situations . The president wouldnt form what is called a gang of eight. It is leadership of the house and senate , republicans and democrats as well as a Certain Community chairman including the Intelligence Committee chairs and one of the reasons that i imagine trump will continue to hit on his adam schiff is one of the traditional people that he would have told ahead of this rate and that did not happen and he specifically said leaks were part of his rationale for that.
