elijah cummings has come out of the meeting with rod rosenstein. let's take a listen. >> again, this is not about the briefing but my feelings. it's three parts to this very significant moment in america's history. one, we have a -- an election that was interfered with by the russians. that's got to be looked at. two, we have a situation where there's a question as to whether there was some type of collusion. three, we have to discover and work on whether there was a coverup. i am convinced that the congress has a very significant role, as does the special counsel. and i think that the congress's role is to look forward. to make sure this does not ever happen again. the threat that somebody in russia or some foreign land can dictate who sits in the oval office and determines our policies and our destiny should upset every single one of us as americans. now, i know mr. rosenstein was the u.s. attorney in maryland for over tenyears. i've always known him to be a very honorable pe. i'm very -- i was very pleased, certainly, with the selection of mr. m
