bush, valerie plame was outed, they outed a cia set when they thought it was good politics for them. what traditionally has reined in a president's desire to take this immense power and use the cia or the fbi or the justice department simply to persecute their political enemies? what reins them in, typically? >> most presidents have a sense of restraint. they know they shouldn't abuse power as president of the united states. and the other thing is fear of getting caught. since watergate, 1974, presidents have been very nervous they might be caught doing some of the things that nixon did that led to three counts of impeachment that were suggested against him. one of them was abuse of power. and joy, what's a better definition of abuse of power than going to all these intelligence agencies and getting damaging information they might have on yourself as president and also possibly on your political enemies. >> fear of getting caught. but there has to be consequences when your caught, aye, there's the rub. >> that's for sure. >> we shall see if there's any for donald trump. michael besch

i plame our leaders since president nixon. somebody has dropped the ball or taken their eye off the ball and u allow a trade imbalance of $400 billion-plus and the properties. and our manufacturers went to china and now coming from china and looks identical, yet it's made by china and robbing that profit, the jobs from american manufacturers that should go here and has to stop and i commend the trump administration for standing up. and i think -- mr. fortenberry: the reckoning is here. the consequences have been here. mr. yoho: i appreciate you. i hope you participate in these. because, you know that day of reckoning is here and if we don't do it today, it will get worse. we have to do something. it is not president trump or the businesses that are bold enough to stand with him. we, the america cap people need to stand behind him. his isn't a fight with the chinese people. i've got to yield to the rules committee and ready to file a rule. we'll come back. i send to the desk -- thank you. i send to the detching a privileged rep
