you have a bipartisan group of whotors like mike crapo, put together a proposal with senator graham andenator cardin calling for tougher sections on the russians that would codify the sanctions under the obama administration and give congress the final approval should president trump try to refute that come to lock them back. i spoke with senator wyden, a democrat on the intelligence committee, earlier today, and he was what he had to say about the matter. what is especially important to me are the circumstances with respect to his refusal. as you know, in the open hearing, i asked mr. comey about that. mr. comey said that he could not give a full answer because he responded to me there were problematic matters that he could not discuss in public. it,n: so there you have democrats still pressing the administration on the notion of obstruction of justice and the ongoing investigation. but right now, no republicans i'm speaking with our suggesting that there is standing for such a charge. julia: i just want to talk about one thing here, tim, how we tie the comments james comey made last w

i spoke to mike crapo earlier this week.e told me directly they have a host of other issues they have to work through until they can address dodd-frank. this is a much more conservative bill than anything likely to get out of the senate. there is some bipartisan support from even some democrats like senator heidi heitkamp, senator joe manchin. again, they've got to get through gse reform, they have to get through a host of other issues, and those russia sanctions. very busy to do list moving through the senate. david: tnk you very much. alex wayne there as well and tim o'brien joining me. our chief washington correspondent. here onaking news glencore. glencore seeking to buy allied stake for $2.55 billion. let's get a check on the markets this afternoon, bloomberg's julie hyman is here with the latest. the nasdaq, and the dow all touched intraday record straight however, it's a different picture right now. the nasdaq turned sharply lower, off 3/4 of 1%. the volume today is eye-popping, 20-day average, specifically for the na

not but they are beginning together a sections package led by senate banking committee chairman mike crapo. it would codify previous sanctions we saw in the obama administration, and this is really interesting, and i think we should underscore this -- it would also give congress the ability to approve, the senate the ability to approve or disapprove, should president trump at any point decide to walk back russia sanctions. so clearly they are looking to take proactive steps to keep these sanctions very much intact against russia for their actions. i think that is great context and very important to remember, as we await the start of this testimony, which, again, extensively goes back to the idea of russian interference in the elections, but has since taken on broader parameters. we can see jeff sessions, the attorney general, entering the room. he is making his way to the front, where he will be testifying. what is interesting here, kevin, testifyingcanceled before panels overseeing funding of the doj. why did he agreed to testify before the senate intelligence committee? senator forabout

now that you have this -- >> mike crapo is in charge.s on him. >> is there enough oxygen to get this passed? ben white laid out a couple of comments, one that this is like a potted plant, you put it in the senate where it gets no light and no water. another is this is a 600 page doorstop for the senate. is there any incentive or initiative with the senate, with all the other things they're going, and get this passed? >> other than the relief for small banks, no. that's got a lot of support. and they always have. there's a lot of politics there. small banks are extremely important to both parties. especially coming up on the midterm election. and the same thing with the fiduciary rule. financial advisers. there are a lot of them. the cfpb, changing that into a more traditional agency, i don't think that's going to be on the front burner because once the republicans take over they may like the idea of having a director. you know, things will flip over. in fact, i would tell you -- >> that's interesting. that's sort of counterintuitive view
