my colleagues in the last several days who say they, quote, just don t want this target on their back. in many nations, democracy has failed because those with authority would not act to protect it, because they sat in silence. history will judge those of us in positions of public trust. remember that as you cast your votes. joining us now is university of michigan law school professor and former u.s. attorney barbara mcquade, good to have you with us. barbara, if the house votes to recommend charges to bannon, it goes to the u.s. attorney s office for a final decision on charges. how quickly could things move from there? frankly, geoff, it seems like it could move very quickly. ordinarily in investigations, a prosecutor has to make sure that all of the facts have been gathered, any supplement investigation has been done. here all of the facts are known. it s a very simple case
up a supplement investigation into judge kavanaugh background. the president didn t have much choice. we got the statement from the press secretary sarah sanders who said i ordered the fbi to conduct a supplement investigation. this must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week. that will be the argument. what is the scope be limited? . the request from the judiciary submit was for all allegations to be investigated? does that include ramirez and the avanati client? they would interview people who were said to be at the party.
