as the subpoenas start to fly we talked about this last night on this program, that michael cohen, donald trump's lawyer refused to cooperate with the committee. so the next stage is of course he gets hit with subpoenas. now we're seeing michael flynn, michael cohen faced with this decision about how do they comply with these subpoenas. >> that's right. one wonders if they will comply fully with the subpoenas and what further steps are available to the committee and are taken by the committee. meanwhile, the big investigation, the serious investigation, robert mueller's investigation continues, and will clearly want to look at and talk to and examine records from these individuals as well as others. but the point that you just raised, though, the russians are sophisticated about this sort of thing, right. so i wonder why they didn't just say ix-nay on the villas or perhaps they did. and the trump administration made these preliminary moves to give them back anyway. it's all very strange. and you have to wonder, is it that unsophisticated? or are they that beholden to the russians? >> miek

michael cohen denied that. there is a meeting in a new york hotel between michael cohen and a ukraine law makers he gave him a plan to ease sanctions. michael cohen has told the "new york times" that's not true. actually he threw it in the trash and recommended it should be gen to michael flynn. >> i'm not talking about that. the meeting with this ukraine figure did happen. >> it did happen yes. >> to renado's point that's not covered by privilege. that's presumably why they want to talk to him. >> one of the many reasons. the allegations in the dose yay are floating about. they want to find out where he's gone an who he's spoken to. they've shown his passport to reporters. i've seen it. there's no stamp for prag. you've would n necessarily get a stamp for prag if you're in italy. the other thing i want to know the trump campaign hasn't -- those that worked for the trump campaign have been sent a letter by michael glass inner saying preserve all the documents you have relating to this campaign. that includes te

president trump's private attorney, michael cohen. they were approved by both parties for their russia meddling probe. but the three others were issued yun lat rattly without democratic approval. the wall street journal says those were issued to the fbi, cia and nsa for information about alleged unmasking by former obama administration officials seeking details about what led to the unveiling of the names of trump aids who were in contact with russian officials and were caught up in surveillance of foreign officials. former national security advisor susan rice, samantha power and former cia director john brennan all named in the subpoenas. a senior aid claims nunes was acting separately and he only recused himself. >> can this investigation continue? >> why would it not? >> in april nunes announced he was temporarily putting mike conway in charge of the russian probe. he faced a firestorm of criticism about how he handled classified materials when he obtained documents in a secret white house meeting. >> i have seen intelligence repor

and michael cohen, longtime trump attorney. michael cohen has denied colluding with the kremlin. flint has sought immunity in exchange for congressional testimony. the issuance of the subpoenas was first reported by "the wall street journal" ." >> bret: james, thank you. more on this with the panel. now to the first track of the two track investigation. lawmakers tell fox we are finally going to hear from our hosted fbi chief james comey on a host of issues and we are told the testimony could come within days about what president trump said to comey about the michael flynn investigation. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has the stor story. >> a source close to the investigations has fired a fair director james comey has spoken directly and in private to special counsel robert mueller to go over the spoke of his testimony that could happen as early as next week. to ensure it does not interfere with or jeopardize mueller's probe. former justice department official said the process is called deconfliction. >> if you are director mueller, you, you want to talk to c

just last night, michael cohen refused to comply with the request for information from the house and senate intel committees but said if he were subpoenaed he'd be happy to testify. whether that complies with document production, a whole big issue with mike flynn that is unclear and whether they may all be protected by a broad reading of attorney-client privilege. of the seven subpoenas, two go to the former national security advisor, mike flynn as well as this is consulting firm. joining me is the national correspond for reuters. great to see you during the busy times. what are these subpoenas looking for? >> we're not quite sure. from appearances and they want to hear from these gentleman. one of the curious things that happened was the committee put out a bipartisan statement announcing mr. flynn and cohen and their respective firms. what it didn't mention was the committee chairman, devin nunes, in april recused himself from leading the investigation, apparently on his own, without telling the democratic members of the committee, issued three other subpoenas, to the national secu

particularly from michael cohen. mr. flynn had already received like process from the senate so i expect we're likely to hear back from him in shorter order than we will from mr. cohen. >> you've got four subpoenas that you and your -- the republican congressmen who are in charge of this russia investigation, one for michael cohen, one for michael flynn. who are the other two for? >> we sent out subpoenas to the persons as well as their businesses, so that constituted the four subpoenas pertinent to the russia investigation. as your reporters have covered, the chairman acting on his own initiative and without consultation with the minority sent out subpoenas apparently to three of the intelligence agencies seeking documents. that is obviously a concern that that's being done without consultation with the minority. apparently the white house wishes to push away from the russia investigation and direct attention in other places and unmask suggest apparently where the white house wants that attention directed. but i think m

seven subpoenas in the russian probe, four of them from michael flynn and the president's attorney michael cohen. >> the chairman of the committee is devon nunez. you may remember he said he was stepping away and he named somebody else to oversee the work of the committee because of the mess that he had gotten himself in by apparently playing a role for the white house, was supposed to be a nonpartisan investigation. guess what? he's back. he signed three subpoenas that go not to the substance of flynn and anybody else around the president, but to the unmasking, and he subpoenas obama administration officials about that. now this raises huge questions not just about nunez and his impartiality but what it means for this investigation. all this as president trump is telling us that he's going to make a major announcement in just hours on the paris climate accord. the speculation is that he's going to pull the plug. we have it all covered. let's begin with cnn joe johns live at the white house. joe? >> reporter: good morning, chris. this has the potential to be extraordinary even explosive testimon

in this case, michael cohen, and michael flynn, the fired national security adviser. they're sending subpoenas for personal records and kind of following suit with the senate intelligence committee for business records as well, something they believe will avoid any effort to invoke the fifth amendment. but as you noted, there are also three separate subpoenas. now, does this mean there's some grand split inside the committee? maybe not in the committee, but certainly with the committee's still chairman, devin nunes. i'm told from committee sources that democrats had no knowledge that these three subpoenas were being sent out. under committee rules, devin nunes as the sitting chairman has unilateral authority to issue any subpoena he wants. now, the rules recommend that he consults with the minority, but he did not. now, why do these subpoenas matter? guys, this goes to the heart of why devin nunes is no longer overseeing the russia investigation. this was the issue that he had such a hard time with. he went over to the white house. we all kind of remember the committe

this is a bit odd, anderson, because the second sentence from michael cohen is false.he dossier has not been debunked by its author, christopher steele. steele has said that not all of it is fully verified. we know from our reporting that some of it has been corroborated. so a little bit of an odd defense there from that second trump lawyer, michael cohen. anderson? >> strange to put out a statement that has something not factually accurate. athena jones, thank you. gloria borger, jeff toobim is back, harvard law school's alan dershowitz, you say this actually strengthens his position against director comey. how so? >> let's look at the constitutional picture. the president could have told comey you are demanded, directed to drop the prosecution against flynn. comey acknowledges that. he says in the statement historically presidents have done that to the justice department. we've had a few years of separation. that tradition doesn't create crime. remember what the president could have done. he could have said to comey, stop this investigation. i am now pardoning flynn.

. >> in addition to the president beefing up his team, michael cohen now lawyering up. vice president mike pence hired a personal attorney although he downplays the significance calling it routine. michael ka pew toe has hired a personal course. compute toe has been contacted by the fbi, it's just the sign of the widening of those probes to the top of the white house. >> we also learned michael cohen who was lawyer for president trump during the campaign also hired his own lawyer. thanks for update on all of moving parts there. >>> on congress democrats and republicans are united in their hopes fur steve scalise to make a recovery. the latest, he is improving but still in critical condition in a washington hospital after a gunman shot him wednesday on a baseball field where the republican congressional baseball team was practicing. that baseball field is set to reopen tomorrow, perhaps a sign of moving forward after such tragedy. we saw a big push for both parties to put aside their bickering and work together in the wake of the shooting. >> i think we need to fine more

president trump's personal lawyer, michael cohen, has said he will not comply with it voluntarily but will comply with the subpoena. >> a source telling cnn out of seven subpoenas in total, four related to the russia probe, the other three related to so-called unmasking of american names from redacted foreign surveillance reports. sources say those subpoenas came from committee chairman devin nunes, not from the committee's russia investigation, and they were issued without the consent of democrats on the panel. >> the move raises questions about nunes and his role in the russia probe. he had said he was stepping aside temporarily from that investigation, though you know, he never officially recused himself. we also learned recently that nunes was still reviewing intel on the russia investigation. >>> later today, president trump expected to announce the united states is pulling out of the paris climate accord. white house officials caution nothing is final until the president speaks this afternoon. it's not clear how a potential withdrawal would work, but pulling out of the climate a

and both vice president pence and trump's p erpersonal attorn michael cohen hired attorneys if needed in the probe. they are told not to read too much into it. vice president pence isn't the only one lawyering up. president trump's personal attorney and former campaign aide michael kaputo, they have both hired private attorneys. >> lots of lawyers getting assignments right now. thanks very much, jessica, for that. jez ka snyder reporting. reaction to all of this. ruben gallago, a member of the armed services committee, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> let me put that tweet up from the president that is causing all the stir right now. he says i am being investigated for firing the the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director, witch hunt. i would like you to respond to that. was that tweet a statement from the president of the united states appropriate? >> it's not appropriate. first of all, i guess thank you for confirming. none of us knew this was actually occurring at this time. we don't get that type of notification. second of all, i think it is an attempt

why doesn't he hire michael cohen a trump lawyer to balance it out?r is there is an id logical predisposition in washington, d.c. generally to not like the president. so, the president is right to suspect that people who are pals, who play behind the scenes ball who leak things to get the president, would have something going. i mean, and all these leaks from the deep state as it were, i mean, this is all about zipping, you know, accident happening the president. so i understand why he's concerned. he should be. >> but, everybody widely praised the selection and appointment of mueller as the special council saying that this was a guy of integrity and a man who had deep experience doing this kind of investigation. >> yeah, this is before he started appointing all of these people here. i mean, i've seen no attempt on his part to balance out the investigators. there's nobody there who has any connection with donald trump. there are people there who have connections to hillary clinton. that on it's face is a conflict of interest. it's simply wrong. >> so

, not marc kasowitz, but michael cohen who was of course a fixture during the campaign, key surrogate for then candidate trump, has hired his own personal outside counsel for dealing with the russia probe. that person goes by the name of steven ryan. you see in the president's inner circle and even his close associates outside the white house, a lot of people are lawyering up in this investigation. wolf, as you mentioned, the president's going to be out here in just a short couple of moments to talk about his new policy when it comes to cube bach cuba. he's going to be introduced my the vice president mike pence and marco rubio who traveled down to make this appearance here in little havana. what we understand and the white house has essentially confirmed most of this is this is not a total rollback of the obama administration policy. the ambassadors are still going to say in havana. in washington people will still be able to travel from the united states to cuba to do cultural and religious missions. there will be restrictions on individual travel into cuba and the treasury departmen

house investigators issuing their first subpoenas to flynn and president trump's personal lawyer michael cohen seeking their testimony and business records. congressional investigators are examining whether attorney general jeff sessions had another undisclosed meeting with russian ambassador sergey kislyak, this time at a reception that session and kislyak attended in april when then candidate trump delivered his first major foreign policy address at the mayflower hotel in washington. >> have you met with any other russian officials since you endorsed donald trump? >> i don't believe so. we meet a lot of people. >> reporter: sessions failing to discloese meetings with the russian ambassador twice before. and again when he applied for a security clearance amid mounting pressure back in march sessions of forced to recuse himself from the russia probe. the justice department defending sessions, denying any wrongdoing. hillary clinton leveling a sharp accusation suggesting russia did not act alone in their election interference. >> the russians in my opinion and based on the intel and counter int

four for former national security adviser, michael flynn, trump lauer michael cohen and their businessesbe, and three for classified reports related to whether former obama official susan rice, samantha power and john brennan improperly accessed the identity of trump associates in intelligence reports. rice strongly denied it to us. >> let me -- >> the name of mike flynn -- >> i leaked nothing to nobody. and never have and never would. >> meanwhile, hillary clinton for the first time blasted russian spies for hacking her campaign manager's e-mails and then working with american political operatives, she said, to target her campaign with false messages on the internet. >> the russians, in my opinion, and based on the intel and counterintel, people i've talked to, could not have known how best to weaponize that information unless they had been guided. and here's what -- >> guided by americans? >> guided by americans. >> reporter: clinton also said donald trump and bernie sanders could get angry about issues at rallies, but that voters didn't accept that kind of anger or passion from a woma

we have seen this repeatedly with his personal lawyer michael cohen, where michael cohen will go after reporters in not so friendly language for reporting things that they don't want them to report, not necessarily things that are not true. on the subject of tapes, i was just speaking to a source close to the president, and i know there's a lot of question as to whether or not these tapes exist. i know the president said very, very soon we will find out. and that's usually when he doesn't have anything to said. there's a whole host of things that we were going to get very soon that we never good. but to those in the white house, this sounds very much like a bluff. if it's a bluff. what does that mean? his callous disregard for the truth. he doesn't seem to care whether or not something is true. from what we have seen from him. >> he said i did not say let this investigation go, but even if i did say it, it would have been all right. he's doesn't get that he's being alleged to have committed a crime. when he says nothing wrong with it. could be criminal and possibly impeachment. so that

michael cohen is an interesting figure. he has ties to russia and the former soviet union and various, shall we say, business people there. that was before he came on board the trump organization and started working for trump. in the intelligence dossier that was compiled which christopher steele, the british spy -- former british spy and that was the annexed part to the briefing that president trump and outgoing president obama and various congressional leaders got, michael cohen is alleged to have met in prague with the russians to kind of trade information or maybe receive instructions. again, this is unverified. we don't know if it actually happened. a lot of journalists have been on this case and have not been able to turn up anything. but he seems to have a lot of ties to russia and the former soviet union, to some pretty salacious people going back decades, and he might have a lot to say. but it seems like he would have even better reason to invoke executive or attorney-client privilege than attorney general jeff ses

michael flynn, michael cohen. they're not peers of samantha power. >> well, they're totally different parties, first of all. >> yes. >> i don't want to pay you $2, so it is unprecedented we have this going on right now. i think nunez is actually trying to get to the bottom of what is going on. however, the timing of this is very concerning and it should not have been done in a freelance position. if any official, be it any administration, unmasks somebody for some sort of political motive, that is absolutely unacceptable. i think that nunez really needs to explain why he did it now, of all times, and why the president put out a tweet just the same morning that he did it. is he still colluding with the white house? >> ithe a chance it could blow up in his face though if they subpoena samantha power, susan rice, et cetera? if they were unmasking tied to bad behavior that members of the trump campaign engaged in with russians -- >> right. we don't know. susan rice in interviews has said that the -- you know, this was

subpoenaed by both congressional intelligence committees, as was trump's longtime personal lawyer, michael cohenis the scope of the investigations reaching watergate proportions? jill wine-banks was an assistant special prosecutor in the watergate investigation. it is so nice to have you joining us. you were on the watergate team. there were plenty of people, who were citizens, who said this is a witch hunt. that was pushed by those who supported president nixon. similar things happen around trump, there are plenty of people, including president trump himself, saying this is a witch hunt. what would you say to them? jill wine-banks: it is not a witch hunt. not only is there a lot of smoke and a lot of accusations that demand to be investigated, we know that the russians hacked the election. we know it impacted the election, and we don't know whether they had any help from americans. and if so, who? soledad: so what do you think are going to be the most valuable things that come out of the special counsel's investigation? what is he looking for right now? jill wine-banks: the special counsel is l

issued by republicans and democrats on the committee, jointly supported for michael flynn and michael cohen, former national security adviser and president trump's long-time personal attorney. michael cohenles with business entities associated with those. there's not a ton of controversy around those. it's note worthy they did issue the subpoena for michael cohen. the flynn subpoena is what the intelligence committee has been up to. the second piece are the additional three subpoenas that are around unmasking of names and requests from the obama administration and you can see obama administration officials there on the screen, that may have made these unmasking requests and this is the former head of the russian investigation but still the chairman of the house intelligence committee, devin newness. he still has the power to sign these subpoenas as chairman of the committee, and he's doing that in trying to figure out who in the obama administration asked to see the names and these signals intelligence reports. and that, of course, related potentially to leaks of classified information that

and now a slew of trump associates, including his personal lawyer michael cohen, are lawyering up. vice president mike pence hired a personal attorney although he downplayed the significance today calling it routine and former trump campaign aid michael caputo has also hired a personal attorney. sources tell cnn, wolf, that caputo has been contacted by the fbi. >> all right. elise, thanks very much. joining us now democratic congressman hakeem jeff rivers new york, a member of the house judiciary committee. congressman, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me, wolf. >> you know the president tweeted this today. i'll put this up on the screen. i am being investigated for firlgt fbi director by the man who told me to fire fbi director. witch-hunt had. i want you to react to being that tweet. was it appropriate? >> well, twang appropriate. this is a president who has engaged in questionable behavior over the last several months particularly as it relates to the ongoing investigation into possible collusion between his campaign and russian spies as well as the possibility there m

. >> is there anything that you can tell us, sir, about president trump's personal lawyer, michael coheno testify in september before your committee? >> no, we're a little bit focused on a step at a time, alex. our next step is next wednesday to have jeh johnson in for an open public hearing. he was the director of the department of homeland security. mostly we'll be talking about the infrastructure of elections, networks throughout the country and what the russians attempted but evidently failed to do in the last election cycle in that regard. we also have agreed to a witness list and are beginning our work in earnest in the house permanent select committee on intelligence. >> but very quickly, having secured his testimony, michael cohen's i'm speaking of, how much light do you expect to him to shed on russia's meddling considering his ties to trump? >> tbd. the fact of the matter is you never know what these people will say until they come before you and you have the opportunity to ask questions. sometimes there are no surprises, sometimes it's really boring, and sometimes, frankly, it

you have subpoenaed michael cohen and apparently he's going to comply with the subpoena, whether it's testimony or documents for september 5th. this is still june. you all take off the whole month of august and i'm sorry to drop this on you because you're the one who showed up. if you really want to move this along -- >> my job. >> why don't you move this fast and why not move it up to july fifth? >> i want to move as fast as we can. and that also includes having all of the documents that this individual can provide. some witnesses have suggested that they want to come in, but they don't want to give us the documents. and, greta, that would be like a doctor examining a patient, but only making an analysis based on what the patient says and not using all of the tools at his or her disposal. we want to review records. we want to go through the time line, the correspondence with individuals in russia. so, we'll hear from them when we're ready and i hope that's sooner rather than later. >> are you satisfied with this pace? because it's not being stepped up? >> no, i'm not satisfied at all

and who can forget donald trump's in-house lawyer at trump tower, michael cohen, who contributed this moment to the presidential campaign. he's the one who said, you can't rape your spouse. it is true. you cannot rape your spouse. and there's very clear case law. michael cohen has now had to hire his own lawyer because of his contacts with russians, if any, during the campaign are also being investigated. the only trump lawyer who has not yet publicly humiliated himself in defense of the president is the only one who has not spoken publicly in defense of the president. that is john dowd. it may be that the only way for a lawyer to avoid public humiliation in defense of president trump is to simply remain silent. meanwhile, special prosecutor robert mueller, himself a former fbi director with impeccable legal credentials, has hired 13 lawyers all with experience in investigating the mafia, al qaeda, and richard nixon. a spokesman as told politico that robert mueller intends to hire several more lawyers. as of tonight, the investigation ofhe president pits robert mueller's dream team ag

targeting fired national security adviser michael flynn and the president's personal attorney, michael cohen. the other three seek information about unmasking requests made by the obama administration. so, let's get to this first. breaking it down is shimon peres. seven subpoenas, what do we know about them? >> so, that's right. it's just a continuation of this investigation now on the house side. the senate intel committee had already issued subpoenas. so, yesterday late, we were told that michael flynn, his flynn intel group were subpoenaed, that the house committee wants to look at his records. keep in mind, flynn's records have already been subpoenaed by a grand jury out of the eastern district of virginia. >> right. >> michael cohen, who is trump's personal attorney, was recently seen at the white house. it's not clear what they're looking for from him, but our understanding is that certain records pertaining to perhaps some russian communications, if he had any russian communication. he has denied it, but he has said that he's willing to cooperate if he's subpoenaed. >> so, that's half

approved seven subpoenas, four for former national security adviser michael flynn, trump lawyer michael cohen and their businesses on the russia probe and three for classified reports related to whether former obama officials susan rice, salmmanth power and john brennan improperly accessed the identity of trump associates in intelligence reports. rice strongly denied it to us. >> did you leak the name of mike flynn. >> i leaked nothing to nobody and never would. >> reporter: hillary clinton blasted russian spies for hacking her campaign manager's e-mails, then working with american political operatives she said to target her campaign with false messages on the internet. >> the russians in my opinion and based on the intel and counterintel people i talked to, could not have known how best to weaponize that information unless they had been guided. and here's -- >> by americans. >> guided by americans. >> who did she say creted those, top fund-raisers and the president's son-in-law. >> they came to jared kushner and basically said we will marry our operation, we will marry that with the rnc. on

donald trump's personal lawyer, michael cohen, has been called to testify. he's responded to a subpoena affirmatively to testify in front of the house intelligence committee on september 5th. that's according to a source with knowledge of it. it was first reported by bloomberg. >> back up one detail. september 5th. >> september 5th. >> why? >> i -- i don't know why it is going to be that much farther down the line. the house right now -- house intel committee will not comment on this. >> we'll be talking about football season by then. i'm looking at nicolle -- >> they'll be on recess for the summer. >> listen. one of the things that i understand to be happening for a lot of the folks that are wanted on capitol hill, i put jared kushner in this category, too -- is that they have big, complicated sets of facts, and they have been now part of multiple organizations. at least in jared kushner's case, he was part of the trump campaign. has a set of calendars, contacts, and meetings and e-mails pass a campaign person on whatever system he functioned. then he was p

four of them related to the russia probe, those were issued to president trump's personal lawyer michael cohen. michael flynn and both of their business entities, those were for documents both men were reluctant to turn over. there were three other subpoenas unveiling the identities of americans in intelligence reports, this all relates to the unmasking request made by obama officials. susan rice and samantha power. congress continues to ramp up all of their investigations. >> house intelligence aide expects that came from devin nun nunes. nunes recused himself from the investigation for now? >> this has been stirring a lot of contention within the committee. the fact that devin nunes despite subpoena power, that's drawing concerns. chairman nunes can in fact still unilaterally issue subpoenas, one senior house intelligence aide tells us those three subpoenas likely came from chairman nunes himself this was discussed a few days ago. he talked about, and said he wanted a committee vote on all subpoenas that were issued. this this case it looks like it didn't happen and it looks like he entered

investigators want to hear from comey's attorney, michael cohen. he's telling fox news, there has not been a single piece of evidence linking me to this fake russian conspiracy it's not surprising to me, because there is none. kennedy: the white house defending jared kushner on claims he met with russians to set up a secret line of communications with the russians. where do we stand on russia? are we talking about it? there is a lot to talk about? or is this a narrative being driven by the president's enemy. >> it's a classic insider washington scandal it's got washington in a frenzy but boring the rest of the country to death and it will amount to nothing. it reminds me of the valerie plame scandal with bush. you had years of conspiracy theories and a special pratt keus cuter and nothing came of it. -- a special prosecutor, and nothing came of it. kennedy: now former f.b.i. director james comey is going to testify reportedly next week. what is he going to say, and do you think that has the potential to change the story and turn it into something m

multiple contacts between close trump allies, people like carter page, his foreign policy adviser, michael cohen, trump's personal attorney, michael flynn, his first national security adviser, jared kushner, his senior policy adviser and son-in-law, paul manafort, his campaign chairman roger stone. his longtime political confidant jeff sessions, his attorney general. these are individuals who appear to have been in somewhat regular contact with russian spies at the same exact time that russia was hacking into our election, and we've got to figure out what exactly they were talking about. there's at least a possibility that there was collusion taking place. we also know that the president refuses to release his tax returns. is he hiding something from the american people? why is that the case? we also know that the president regularly criticizes our allies. he criticizes great britain or france or australia, mexico, canada, the european union, nato. he's not afraid to criticize others, but for some reason, wolf, he's never been able to utter a negative word about vladimir putin or russia. these a

that is of former national security advisor michael flynn and michael cohen.rump's long time attorney who has denied colluding with the a russians. we will see how all of this plays out. it's just heating up. brian: crazy thing we thought it was all going to be democrats and republicans working together. some people thought that absolutely not. republicans didn't even tell the democrats they were sending out subpoenas for the unmasking. pete: effectively two different investigation. democrats committed to finding out about russian collusion no evidence so far. the republicans said real scandal is unmasking of names and leaking of information to reporters. if it goes from susan rice john breneman to samantha power. that's widespread. ainsley: russia thing has been investigated for how many months now, 8 or 9 months. have you heard brennan and clapper say it, no evidence that shows collusion. but there is definitely a leaker. there is definitely unmasking happening and i think republicans want to get to the bottom of it. brian: they both are going to be doing th
