Published | Video Starts at 02:22

I also want to make clear that, that When generals are having conversations about what to do if they receive illegal orders... they are following the law. Constitution of the United States, then they are following the law. They are not breaking the law. But let's go on to what else you said. Senator, if I might, if I might. (02:22–02:36)
