EXCERPT:

GEIST: "Let's bring in Democratic congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio. Congressman, always good to see you. You tweeted a short time ago about the resignation of Michael Flynn, quote, 'Good, but so many questions are left unanswered.' What questions do you still have?"
RYAN: "Well, all the ties to Russia. I think this is the pulling of the first string. We just don't know how long it’s going to take to unravel. Clearly this is the canary in the coal mine of Trump’s relationship to Russia, Flynn’s relationship to Russia, going back to Manafort. I think Republicans in Congress are taking this very, very seriously and hopefully there will be some investigations. I think the country needs to know. This is not a partisan issue, I think this is about the country."
