what did russia do that he'd have to do that? you haven't stated that yet.I didn't expect them to answer, btw. Their ducking the question about whether Trump asked them to sway the Russia probe shows to any thinking person that Trump did just that, but we already knew that. What was interesting to me was Coats saying he didn't know if he had a legal basis to not answer. I suppose the Senate could subpoena him and hold him in contempt if he refused, but I don't think that's going to happen. The FBI is doing the criminal investigation, and they can't duck that. The Senate is in theory investigating the Russian interference in the election.
