rod rosenstein said he wouldn't go ahead with what he knows now.'t even know at the time, liz, that the dossier was funded by the democratic national committee. how do you not know that? they literally hired christopher steele to get information from russia of all places to take down a presidential candidate. so this was a huge story. ted cruz said it was probably bigger than watergate. you could make the argument that was the case. i get the protests are a big story, no question and coronavirus obviously. that has taken a big back seat but as you said, none of the broadcast networks covered it. when it was covered by places like npr, it sounded like this, anchor, may i start with an observation. doesn't it seem out of left field with everything going on in the country right now, senators are focused today on the russian investigation? in other words let's not look into something that took up 2 1/2 years of the country's time, blotted out the trump presidency like an eclipse blots out the sun and we shouldn't try to figure out what happened? report
