We sought to find out, is that blocked number, Donald Trump's blocked number, because we found out during the investigation that Donald Trump used a blocked number during the campaign. We asked to subpoena the phone records so we could match up, did Donald Trump receive a call at the same time Donald Jr. was making that call to find out, did the president's son seek the president's permission, the go ahead to go forward with this meeting. The Republicans refused. They didn't want to know, they wouldn't ask the phone company for those records. That tells you a lot about the fundamental unseriousness, the really the head in the sand approach the GOP took.
