the next question, did the president pressure barr to do it? trump has come down on both sides of the question. he says he didn't talk to the justice department, but he should be allowed to ask his aides to get a lighter sentence if he wanted to. to repeat what the president said, he didn't talk to the justice department. what he did do was tweet. he thought the sentence prosecutors were asking for was too long. the next day the doj did just that. stone will be sentenced next week. bottom line, eight days after the end of the impeachment democrats are back to asking tough questions. >> something egregious like this demands the inspector general investigates and the chair of the judiciary committee hold a hearing now. >> today the senate will vote whether to remove the president's authorization of use of military force which originally was granted to george w. bush after the 2001 terror attack.
