in italy, in france, in austria, in germany and hung gaary and t uk. all of them are supported by russia in one way or another for all or most of them the feeling is also mutual. they also support russia. here's a picture of the head of the league party in italy sitting in the european parliament wearing a vladimir putin t-shirt. the creepy american factor in all of this is that all of these far right anti-immigrant, anti-europe parties that are poised to destroy the european union from within, they are not only supported by russia and supportive of russia, they are also being buoyed and to a greater or lesser extent all being advised by steve bannon, who moved his operation to europe after what he did here for us in 2016. so sometimes i think it helps us as americans understand our own situation to take a broader lens on this stuff, right? we are still muddling our way through our own situation every day. i'm going to talk with the chairman of the judiciary committee in just a minute about the latest fights to try to pry loose information and document
