david michaels, had assured us that osha has the teeth to be able to have the authority to put emergencye. we're seeing less of this. cdc guidelines are too weak. we're more and more seeing voluntary programs as the states are starting to reopen. voluntary programs are not the language we need to hear right now, mandatory programs, as we're seeing more and more workers are impacted. >> let's me just underscore, make sure i understood something you just said. in terms of the federal, there is a part of the federal government that is responsible for making sure that people work in a safe environment, osha, the occupational safety and health administration. out of all of the people who have been infected on the job and all of the people who have been infected on the job who have died, osha has yet to issue a single citation to any workplace in the entire country for covid-19 safety issues? >> that's right. that's right. and as you can see, it's -- >> that's absolutely astonishing. >> it is astonishing, and again, it is a problem with enforcement. we know that particularly this pandemic has

working for michael gove ten years later, he blamed the teaching unions follow standards. there were run—ins with colleagues and davidpsychopath. it was the eu referendum that brought boris johnson and dominic cummings into the same team. the former was the front man. mrcummings the same team. the former was the front man. mr cummings credited with the winning strategy. it's a formula they have tried to recreate in government. mr cummings came in with ambitious plans to reform what he called a broken political system. the civil service was criticised, advisers sacked and cabinet ministers driven out if they didn't like it. the conservatives were soon backin like it. the conservatives were soon back in campaign mode, a winter general election called to break the parliamentary deadlock. the message was simple and, ultimately, successful. get brexit done! the emphatic election victory gave mr cummingsa emphatic election victory gave mr cummings a chance to put long held ideas into practice. investment in science and technology and in areas of the uk that had been neglected for years. in a of the uk that had been neglect

for unmasking on michael flynn, you have to ask what he was looking for, what was he trying to find? when you think of the leak to "the washington post" and the fact that they told david ignatius -- they were looking at a logan act violation and then went sideways for that and revealed the highly classified conversation, which was very legitimate, michael flynn, sir sergey kislyak, you have to ask yourself how long did the obama officials do this and that needs to be the biggest part of the concern for john durham and that's exactly what he's going to be looking at. how extensive were these unmaskings? we only know this sheer accident and by sheer coincidence that we were able to find this out. had president trump not won the election, we would never be the wiser and this is how. that administration and those people at the administer showinf operated. >> sean: this is just the tip of the iceberg. gregg jarrett, two best-selling books on this, let's talk about the legality in play here and the judge. >> judge emmet sullivan. as i wrote in a column today, he has either taken leave of his senses or he is exhibiting outrageous political bias. i think it's a bit of both. w
