breaking news. >> we begin with the breaking news on former special counsel, robert hur, in the hot seat up on capitol hill. republicans and democrats ripping apart as findings in the biden classified documents investigation for very different reasons cnn's chief legal affairs correspondent, paula reid, has more on this politically charged hearing >> do you swear or affirm under former special counsel, robert hur, grilled by lawmakers from both sides of the aisle today about his investigation into president biden's mishandling of classified documents mr. hur, why do you do it? why did joe biden, in your words, willfully retained and disclosed classified materials? i mean, he knew the law in an office like 50 years. >> you exonerated conviction. >> i noted not6 own right. willful or it's not sure it

has. mr. hurts my time >> biden's memory took center stage age as her sat in his report that he did not charge biden because he believed a jury would see him as a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. >> you find in your report that the elements of a federal criminal violation are met, but then you apply this senile cooperator theory that because joe biden cooperated and the elevator and go to the top floor, you don't get a conviction. you understood when you made that decision, didn't you, mr. hur, that you would ignite a political firestorm with that language, didn't you? >> congressman politics played no part whatsoever in my investigative steps. >> you cannot tell me you're so naive as to think your word prince, who would not have created a political firestorm, you understood that hur told the committee he stood by the words in his report, my assessment and the report about the relevance of the president's memory was necessary. an accurate and fair both sides, using the issue to try to score political points i

have a good memory and all that stuff, like a great memory showing dueling videos, eat, drink gaps by trump, and biden. >> my memory is so bad i let you speak. >> her was also pressed on the differences between biden's case and that a former president trump, those being that biden returned the documents, he allowed for searches jews, various properties, and even sat for a voluntary interview with the special counsel. >> would you find the present biden engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct justice? >> no >> did you find the present by to engage in a scheme to conceal know well, her explained that he did not have enough evidence to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. he made it it clear that his report does not absolve. the president just heard did you >> completely exonerated president biden? that is not what my report does >> also emphasized that he was making a legal conclusion about biden's mental state, not a medical one. >> mr. hur, based on your report, did you find that the president was senile?

>> i did not that conclusion does not appear in my report. >> a transcript of biden's interview with hur was released just a few hours before the hearing, causing republicans to cry foul. >> the timing is not coincidental. >> and after the hearing wrapped, the white house responded saying the hearing should with the classified documents investigation against biden to rest, their conclusion was simple, that there is no case here. the case is closed. >> it's time to move on >> whole republicans say they are moving on to try to obtain the audio of biden's interview with former special counsel her know her is now a private citizen. he left the justice department last week when asked if that recording should be released, he deferred to the justice department and the white house. now, wolf, they are unlikely to release that. but i think we're going to hear a lot about that recording over the next few months. >> paula reid reporting for us, paula, thank you very much. lit let's break all of this down with our legal and political experts and laura coates, you're our chief legal analyst.

let me start with. you heard disputed claims from democrats that effectively he exonerated president biden by not formally charging him with any potential crime out there. explain what's going on here. difference between avoiding a specific charge, an exoneration. >> well, exoneration means that i'm saying you've done nothing wrong a prosecutorial discretion where he's talking about is that even with the evidence that might support some wrongdoing, i cannot meet my burden of proof, therefore, i'm going to exercise my discretion to suggest that i shouldn't be prosecuted kidding you. every prosecutor knows it's not just the idea of thinking in your gut, you can prove something. you actually have to prove it to a jury of people who were wanting you to meet your burden of proof. it means you got to get the right evidence in the right witnesses to testify to that effect. there can't be so-called ines. next patients you can refute and some way down the line. and so he recognized distinction between what you can prove and what you think you know, and a prosecutor worth his or her salt has to be able to go with what they can prove and he's

saying, i couldn't beyond a reasonable doubt. beyond reasonable doubt, not easy, necessarily. alice did her by saying he did not necessarily exonerate the president. did he give republicans are potential political opening? >> well, he certainly did. and look, they're looking at this from the standpoint. well, if you're not completely exonerating him, then there's something there, right? and here's what republicans are taking away from this. three things. one being, they look at this as a two-tiered system of justice, right there looking at the underlying crime of willful retention i've docx classified documents. the same crime, donald trump is being prosecuted for it because he has cognitive ability and joe biden is not because he is an old man with a bad memory. number two, they're looking at this from the standpoint of joe biden lied to the american people when he had that press conference after this first came out, he told the american people, i did not disclose classified information to my ghost writer. he lied about that. and as jim jordan said today, he had 8 million reasons to do so because he has $8

million from this book that he's writing, but he did, as we heard from her today, he shared this information with his ghostwriter and thirdly, they're taking away from this. this is just yet another case. the fact that they're going after trump for willful retention of classified documents with the mar-a-lago case. he is yet another victim of the weaponization of the justice system. and this is the fact that trump is facing charges. this is a weaponization of the doj. that is what republicans will be taken away from this ashley etienne, i want you to listen to adam schiff. he did some really tough questioning, tough question on adams of robert hur today calling his characterizations of the president's political. listen to this exchange you don't gratuitously add language that you know will be useful in a political campaign. you were not born yesterday. you understood exactly what you were doing. it was a choice. >> what you are suggesting is that i shape sanitize omit

portions of my reasoning and explanation. the attorney general for political reasons, know, i suggest that you not shape your for political reasons is what you would not happen sponsor. and that did not happen what, do you think? >> no, i thought those were the most effective question lines from adam schiff and even hank johnson. adam schiff has a credibility as being a former prosecutor and he made the point, you had a choice, but you chose to use language that you knew would cause a political firestorm. here's my i've managed a lot of these hearings in the house and here's my major takeaway is this was another attempt by republicans to weaponize the house to hurt joe biden. and it did not stick it really amounted to four hours of an opportunity for democrats to do what adam schiff did to remind the public, hey, this guy's a republican. he was a top lieutenant and trump's doj. and therefore, he's politically motivated, but also gave them an opportunity to say that donald trump was charged with a crime. he obstructed and then tried to cover it all up. joe

biden on the other hand, no crime, no file, nothing here. >> it's really easy and i say this as someone who's been, i've been a hill staffer, a senior justice department official, and actually a witness before congress myself, and it's easy to get lost in all the political noise that happened here. what this was, number one, bob hur, as the special counsel, was obligated under law to submit a report to the attorney general right after submitting that report in which he did not call for charges against the president united states resigned from the justice department, which is incredibly amen your special counsels, john durham did the same thing and testified here today what is important to know is that charges are not being brought because he did not establish would not have been able to establish that these could've been charges that could have succeeded in front of a jury. that happens all the time in the art and science prosecutor it doesn't matter if you think there was misconduct. it doesn't matter if anybody in their heart thinks someone's innocent, not guilty exonerated, whatever else it's what and this is laura's point

earlier. what can you establish beyond a reasonable doubt in front of a jury? that is the important thing. that is the legal determination that was made and all this mishegoss. i don't know if you liked that one wolf, but all was nonsense about whether someone's senile or whatever else simply does not matter in the eye. the law doesn't matter in the eyes of what's relevant for to congress. >> i can't spell mishigas, but i can spell proof and when you do so, you have to have an eye towards what the evidence actually shows. what was very clear to me from this entire testimony is that had donald trump behaved similarly to joe biden in terms of cooperating, providing the evidence, providing the documents sitting for the different deposition and interviews not fighting when he had every opportunity to return the documents, he too would not have been charged. now, of course, her did not want speculated about the nature of jack smith's case. but every time he was asked down the line, what trump did compared to what biden did, it was very clear. the big distinction was the behavior of

the person who is actually retaining the documents. and i thought really effectively, there was the attempt to suggest well, hold on. if you created a new doctrine here by saying that, hold on, i can do whatever i want as long as i returned the documents, he was not there to create a doctrine. he was there given the charge of, here's the evidence before me. what can i prove? and that's pro vii, but here's the problem with that. >> a lot of what we've heard >> before from the president in this case he has contradicted himself with regard to what he knew about the classified document. we had documents in several different locations and the president claims as though he didn't was not aware that they were there and that brings to mind the question for many people, republicans and others. if he doesn't know where these documents are and he cannot remember a lot of the facts that are the basis of this report. how does that make them good to be the president of the kind of stable question, not a legal one though. and the thing is it's a political question, not a legal one. and i think this rush to compare trump's

conduct to biden's is simply the wrong analysis. the fact is, if they thought they could convict joe biden beyond in a reasonable doubt, they want to charge him with a crime. they can't and they won't kill. >> it goes ryder was an issue though >> we go ahead. yeah. no. i just want to say you're elliott's absolutely right. but this is the court of public opinion that we're talking about here. and i think there's one thing that's sort of night that shouldn't be lost because we're talking directly to the mayor. can people hear and that is the gop, the republicans antics come out at a cost. there. they had a member of the judiciary committee that decided i'm going to retire early today. it's it could potentially come at a cost to their to their majority in the house. but in addition to that, it comes at a cost to the american people. there's no movement by this particular, that particular committee bipartisan about border legislation, no movement to keep the government open and fund the government. so that's what we have to remind people love, where sometimes this is politics. it really comes at a cost of the american people are guys everybody standby. we're going to continue this conversation. excellent yiddish by the way >> the nonsense. thank you,

line against russia's brutal attacks for the next couple of weeks for this, not nearly enough for where i'm announcing today. congress must pass the bipartisan security ago now, which includes urgent funding for ukraine, we must act before it literally is too late >> cnn's oren liebermann is joining us from the pentagon right now. he's got details on is this latest package that the president just announced, essentially a stop gap measure. >> wolf, we can hardly even be called that the white house made clear that this $300 million package could last a matter of weeks, perhaps as little as a couple of weeks. and you heard president joe biden say, they're two years into this war, this package could help out ukraine for just a couple of weeks here, here is what's in it. some of the critical ammunition and weapons that ukraine needs in its fight against russia, including 155 millimeter artillery ammunition. ukraine able to fire much less than russia in this case, and having to ration some of that anti-aircraft missiles which are needed to repel the russian air assaults that have become pretty routine

at this point russia has used those to devastating effect, as well as more there, even if it's only a little bit in the tiny fraction of what the us has been able to provide in the past, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy showing his gratitude on twitter or x saying in a tweet every round of ammunition saves the lives of ukrainians who faced daily attacks by russian occupiers. now both the white house and the pentagon made it clear that this is only a tiny fraction. of what ukraine needs and what's needed here is that $90 billion supplemental that already got through the senate and is now waiting in the house. where does have bipartisan support in terms of what's in it that first number there is the big one, at least for this conversation, $60 billion in aid for ukraine that is desperately needed to make sure ukraine doesn't see any more territory to russia we'll oren liebermann at the pentagon. thank you. joining us now, the united states ambassador to poland, mark brzezinski just got out of them meeting at the white house with president biden, as well as the polish prime minister and the polish president ambassador.

thank you so much for joining us this bigger ukraine funding bill is still very much on the line right now. >> take us inside today's talks at the white house and you were there. does poland still feel the united states is a reliable, reliable partner >> excellent question wolf. and what happened today was remarkable. a polish president and a polish prime minister who are on opposite sides of the political spectrum. traveled to washington to stand in solidarity with the american president joe biden, to ask congress to get this supplemental past. why? because for the people of poland, this is 1939 this is central europe being attacked by a vicious foreign attacker. and in this case, it's russia against ukraine and poland has been sticking its neck out in terms of sending weapons to ukraine, to the ukrainian so they can defend themselves and also,

poland has been welcoming literally millions of refugees who have poured in from ukraine into poland. wolf, you were in poland last spring. you see the number of refugees on the street. every one of which is welcomed into a polish home or apartment as a product of national policy. but the polls expect the americans to continue to support the ukrainians. and this is what the polish president and the polish prime minister wanted to hear from the american president, and they did. and they also wanted to hear here, america's firm and total commitment that article five, all for 11 for all article five of the nato pack is sacrosanct to the americans because the polls are close, they have a history of being left by allies who promised to support them and then didn't. so they are anxious and uncertain. >> they're very nervous indeed, i saw that when i when i was

there, as you know, president duda is calling on the nato countries to boost their defense spending to at least 3% of their gdp. is that a position president biden would have doors president biden at the vilnius nato summit last summer, asked all nato allies to exceed the 2% >> gdp spending on defense threshold. and we now have over 19 countries doing that. and it will be even more at the washington summit this coming july i don't think there's a sense that 3% now needs to be the new threshold. it is. i think very important that the poles have exceeded 4% of gdp in defense spending this year i gotta give the polls a lot of credit for what they're doing to help ukrainians right now and for its involvement in nato, which is so critical as you know, donald >> trump reportedly told the hungarian strongman viktor orban he wouldn't give ukraine

another penny. how much alarm is there among european allies right now over a possible second trump term that the support of ukraine is existential for the poles and other central europeans because they know that putin of russia, who was a kgb agent, who is the son of a kgb agent, has as a and will not stop at ukraine. and that if he defeats ukraine, he will continue to go west for, so for the poles and other central europeans, this is existential and again, it's 1939, except this time they feel they can do something about it, which is why the polish president and prime minister are in washington today. of course, they came to the white house, but they also went up to capitol hill to meet with the house speaker and the senate majority leader in minority leader to make the case that this is about democracy versus dictatorship.

and democracy must win. that's a critical moment right >> now, poland, of course, being right on the border through with ukraine, they're very nervous right now. ambassador presents kyiv. thanks so much for joining us. thanks for all your important work. we appreciate it. >> thank you, wolf, coming up new insight into our top story. we're going to talk to a key member of the committee. who questioned former special counsel, robert hur congresswoman pramila jayapal is standing by live we'll discuss when we come back what happens to the golden boy of new jersey >> i engaged in affair with another man. >> did you want to be outed? united states have scandal with jake tapper. >> i've got to get a therapist have they're having an interview with jake tapper, new episodes sunday at nine on cnn. >> i shall lay and i lost 75 pounds is gallo. i went from musk is 22 sides, six before i go lower, nothing seemed to work. i was exercising her over an hour every day. it was really discouraging that golos so easy the weight just falls off. >> realtor dot com's real view

bring in cnn's brian todd bryant, whatever impact hur's investigation may have, special counsel probes as we all know, have left lasting marks on presidential history. many of them certainly have wolf. and while some investigations revealed tangled plots and sinister intent, other probes took on a life of their own based on how the president respond want it to them former special counsel, robert hur's report is the latest in a long contentious history of special counsel investigations into presidents and their top aides. >> it represents an existential threat to both the reputation and the very existence of a political administration since the watergate hera, every american president except one has faced a special counsel or independent counsel investigation into himself or his associates. the only exception barack obama, some of those probes fizzled out unceremoniously. others shaped history. >> i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow

>> the most significant by far for historically is watergate. because after all, it resulted in the resignation of the only president who has ever been forced out of office, richard nixon >> often these investigations are shaped by how the president has responded to them. >> this was a hoax, this was a witch-hunt. >> president donald trump remained defiant through robert mueller's probe into russian and election interference and obstruction of justice, he was not prosecuted in the case. richard nixon's response to the watergate investigation got him into more trouble when he covered up the break-in and was accused of obstructing justice. bill clinton ultimately faced impeachment over his lying about an affair with monica lewinsky during independent counsel, ken stars it's investigation of handle. >> i think the one lesson that's been learned over the years is that a president hides things at his own peril. >> these investigations change the course of presidency is often for what they revealed, the iran contra probe exposed a scheme by the reagan administration to sell arms to

iran in exchange for hostages with the money from the sales going to fund the contra rebels in nicaragua. in spite of a congressional law against it, which the president ultimately admitted to what began as a strategic opening to iran, deteriorated in its implementation into trading arms for hostages several officials in the reagan administration were prosecuted by independent counsel lawrence walsh, but not reagan himself. some of these probes have been outright unwieldy. iran contra went on for years and was enormously expensive. starr's investigation of clinton expanded far beyond its original scope, >> quite water was about a failed real estate hey, deal in arkansas that bill and hillary clinton invested in and ended up being about something completely unrelated. namely, this romantic relationship between bill clinton and mine conoco lewinsky >> while independent counsel or special counsel investigations have been damaging to past presidencies, they've also proven to be very

unpredictable. the analysts we spoke to pointed out that even with the damage done to presidents ronald reagan and bill clinton by the investigations into them. they both came out the other side being more popular in the poll wolfers, the exact for the history, brian todd reporting for us tonight, the white house and top democrats are doubling down on calling president biden innocent >> in the classified documents investigation. but former special counsel, robert hur, repeatedly pushed back on suggestions. he exonerated the president as in this tense exchange with representative pramila jayapal. >> this lengthy, expensive and independent investigation resulted in a complete exoneration of president joe biden for every document you discussed in your report, i need to go back and make sure that i take take note of a war that you used, exoneration that is on a border. i'm going to crush you with my question i just ask us, i'm going to continue with you exonerate a convicted did not exonerate or it's not a sure has a democratic congresswoman,

pramila jayapal is joining us now, live. congresswoman. thanks so much for joining us by using that word and explosive word exonerate. did you actually wind up helping make republicans point that president biden? did willfully retained classified documents >> wolf, it's always good to be with you and know, look, the common definition of exonerate is to absolve of any blame. and that is exactly what the 345 page report that robert hur did show that he at an insufficient evidence to prosecute joe biden on any of the charges that he was investigating. and so he was not able to show that joe biden willfully retained classified documents and that he was, you know, that he was guilty, so he was arguing it was a distinction without a day difference in my opinion, maybe who was auditioning for to be trump's attorney general. >> but >> you can't have a 345 page report and these rules that

literally lays out charge after charge that you found insufficient evidence to be able to move forward with and then say that somehow that person is not absolved blame and that is what the word exonerate means in common language. now, obviously he was trying to use a legal term of exoneration, but you can look it up and merriam webster dictionary exonerate is actually what happened in this report. >> hur said today that he quote, did not sanitize him quoting now, did he did not sanitize my explanation nor did i disparage the president unfairly. how do you respond to that? >> at the record reflect that the witnesses answered. >> i think he was trying to have it always he was trying to say that he was fair, but i understand that he felt that he had to show his work he kept saying that, but there are lots of ways to show your work without prejudicing the report and the person that is in the report and that's why typically these documents are

not made public. they are usually classified, but he knew he's a very smart guy. he knew this one was going to be made public. and i think there are plenty of ways he could have characterize his belief that a jury would take a number of factors into consideration without prejudicing and drawing conclusions that i feel we're very inappropriate about president joe biden. >> another important topic i want to question one very important you've announced, you won't support this latest effort to try to force a vote on an aid package for ukraine and taiwan because it also includes aid for israel. would you support this aid if it includes conditions on that military aid to israel? >> i think that is a discussion that is very worth having. and i would just say that this whole situation that we're in is because republicans have refused to support aid to ukraine >> speaker johnson has the

>> responsibility to put the senate passed bill on the floor. he has not done that because of the ukraine aid. i will tell you, wolf that i would support a discharge petition today if it included only the ukraine aid if it included taiwan aid, i would be fine. obviously, if it included the humanitarian aid for gaza and for other places that would also be very good. but i think you would see a complete the united democratic caucus on the issue of aid for ukraine and that is something that we should consider, but certainly if we start looking at conditions real conditions on aid to israel, i would support defense of aid, iron dome aid for israel today because i think that's important too. attacked israelis. but what i want to is continue to support united states offensive military aid going in to kill people in gaza. when benjamin netanyahu has continued to say that he is completely opposed to a two-state solution he has

continued to encourage the expansion of settlements in the west bank and he's continued to block humanitarian aid to the palestinians in gaza, even though we are providing him with that offensive military aid, i just i think that is absolutely untenable. >> representative pramila jayapal. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> i'm just ahead, president biden and former president trump. now, just hours away from likely clinching their party nominations, are the two candidates are ramping up their campaigns just ahead of their rematch. >> anderson cooper, 360. >> tonight at eight on cnn >> so i can take all these trips because priceline has all these amazing deals and that's what i said deal on, you're right is our infinity deal >> deals the deals are heavy price

are the campaigns need to do as they pivot to this general election >> yeah. what can we take one second and just reflect on the magnitude of this moment. both of them likely to become the nominees officially tonight cross the threshold of delegates first time since 1956 we got our rematch four years later. that was stephens in an eisenhower first time since 1912 with teddy roosevelt, we've had a former president on the ballot again. and the first time since 18 92, we've had a rematch between a sitting president and the man who ousted out of the white house four years later. so certainly an historic standoff. and then when you add to that the magnitude of the gulf between them on all the big issues that we're facing. tax and spending. immigration. beck writes abortion, democracy with trump promising just the other day that one of his first actions would be to pardon the january 6 many of the january 6 rioters. if you've got trump basically making a simple hey, things were better when i was

president, i handed biden a good economy, a secure border prime under control, and he messed it up. that retrospective comparison i think is the heart of trump's argument. we saw it on super tuesday night when he said if joe biden and just stayed on the beach the last three years, the country would be in better shape by biden as much as possible, wants to make this a perspective campaign about what each man would do over the next four years of returned to power, as you know, ron, georgia is one of the key battleground states voting today, trump won there back in 2016, but lost in 2020. what are you looking for there? >> yeah. i mean, you >> see because i think democrats are the most pessimistic about georgia of any of the five states that decided 2020 by flipping from trump's 16 to biden 2020, that was georgia, arizona, michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. the sunbelt breakthrough has been absolutely critical for democrats, not only the presidential level, but in the senate where they now have all of the senate seats in arizona and georgia. but holding those

breakthroughs that, that kind of beachhead that biden established in 20 maybe more difficult for them. then maintaining their strength and former blue wall states of michigan, pennsylvania, amazon it's constant, so i think people will be looking at turnout tonight in georgia, but whatever happens tonight, georgia probably looks like the shakiest of the states that biden flipped from 16 to 20. >> key battleground state indeed, ron brownstein, thank you very, very much coming up. bad headlines amounting for boeing right now with the heads of major us airline saying today hey, the company's problems could impact your upcoming trout >> tnt sports is on trutv. brian todd, here we go. tnt sports is now on trutv primetime so would you get to nashville hot tenders and three mandarin orange tenders?

officials could potentially be subpoena to testify. this comes as we're learning more about another boeing jet that suddenly dropped in mid-flight. your cnn aviation correspondent, pete muntean new images show the aftermath of monday's mysterious in-flight jolt on a chilean boeing 787 >> latam airlines says a technical event caused a strong movement on board, injuring 50 passengers who peppered the pilots with questions. i immediately engaged with him and said from what was that and he openly admitted he said, i lost control of the plane. my gauges just kind of went blank on me and that's when the plane just took a dive >> boeing's as it is standing by to help investigate the incident. the latest involving a boeing plane following the alaska airlines door plug blowout in january, a wheel falling off a united flight

last week and hydraulic fluid traveling from another united flight during takeoff from sydney. this one week people are pretty wary of boeing right now. and when anything happens on a boeing people want to know, though there was no clear link between each incident, boeing remains under the microscope of federal investigators, the federal aviation administration now says it has completed its review of the 737 production line with the new york times reporting boeing failed 33 of 89 quality control audits. >> it wasn't just paperwork issues and sometimes it's ordered that work is done. sometimes it's tool management at it sounds kind of pedestrian, but it's really important in a factory that you have a way of tracking your tools effectively so that you have the right tool. and at unit oh, you didn't leave it behind >> faa scrutiny follows anger from the national transportation safety board, which blasted boeing on capitol hill last week for failing to provide records that detailed the omission of key bolts from the alaska airlines plane.

boeing says those records do not exist. >> we don't have the records. we don't have the names of the 25 people that is in charge of doing that work in that facility. it's absurd that two months later, we don't have that wolf. >> you mentioned the national transportation safety board just announced that rare public hearing on the alaska airlines door plug incident, these things have typically been reserved for things like the east palestine real disaster and the miracle on the hudson. but this is the first such hearing to focus on an incident involving a 737 max. boeing has not indicated how how will respond, but it is answering to the findings from the faa's audit, a new boeing memo instructs workers to precisely follow every step one building airplanes, the pressure is on from the top all the way down to the factory floor at boeing both merely that pressure is needed to pete muntean. thank you very, very much coming up. we'll have a live report from uvalde, texas, the police chief

city's police department's chief. he actually was not here on the day of the horrific shooting. he was on vacation at the time, but this was still his police department and so when this report came out last week, essentially clearing these officers, he took a lot of heat from the family members. he was actually supposed to be here today to answer some questions to possibly make a presentation to the city council where i am here tonight. he's not here. his deputy chief is here it's unclear if he will speak, but certainly the families have a lot of questions for him. this is all happening as really this community is just reeling from what happened here last week, i got a chance to speak with the former mayor of uvalde, who wanted this investigation when he was mayor talking about just how horrific to hear those words from that investigator and what it did to this community. take a listen. >> well it r2p, they rip the wound wide open again, instead of instead of a terrorists, it's torn, it's gushed wide
