it is a much broader legal problem for the republicans than devin nunes described. what he said is true, that is criminal. it would be criminal. but it's also criminal if you accept anything of value from a foreign individual or a foreign government. especially when it happens to be an enemy of our country, not a friend or ally. but you cannot accept anything even from our closest allies if it is a foreign person. so once you have his description was of a portuguese giving something to the candidate. it doesn't matter what country it is. you can't take it. anything of value is barred by our election laws. and, so, there is a much broader thing. and it doesn't matter whether you public it or you knowingly allow someone to publish it or whether you just send an e-mail that says i love it, especially later in the summer and then wikileaks publishes it later in the summer. >> jennifer, the notion that the senate has to immediately take up a bill of impeachment, the last time we saw an impeachment of this level was of a federal judge. 1988 in august the house voted to im
