Ed what do you make it -- other crisis that isn't getting nearly the attention.
Well I think the congress that has a reasonable situation there -- the Department of Justice.
So won't give them the necessary information but I think what it is now escalated quite frankly with the president declaring expected to privilege.

New hours but -- given that the department of -- -- -- The fact is that you mentioned earlier on your show all of these things have been not really covered by the news media the -- now.
Went as soon as -- -- -- learn.
