conspiracy theory the president has sold the attorney general on, and the attorney general shame fa shamefully, in a disgraceful show of says he s going to investigate the investigators. remember this is the theory that republicans were proceeding on in the judiciary inquiries into peter struck and lisa page, all they had against struck and page they had called the president a moron or idiot, and we can find you lots of comments by ted cruz and marco rubio where they said he s a compulsive liar and serial philanderer and unqualified for office. likely half of america or more have said. congressman, appreciate your time tonight. thank you. delighted to be with you. out front next 11 deaths already this climbing seen on
