JULIE BANDERAS (HOST): Alright, I've got to get your take on Jared Kushner, his statement today. He is going to be questioned by the Senate and House Intelligence Committees. One of the questions are going to be: Did you know about the meeting? He says he did not. He said he didn't read the email chain between Donald Trump Jr. and the others, Rob Goldstone among them. 

JASON CHAFFETZ: I think it is an embarrassment that the United States Senate even called Jared Kushner before them. This does not rise to the level of a Senate inquiry. And certainly it was a different standard when, all of a sudden, you had Hillary Clinton, you had President Clinton taking millions and millions of dollars at the same time his wife is the secretary of state. 

BANDERAS: And destroying 30,000 emails, but we are talking about a meeting between two people. He was not a politician at the time. There's something to be said there.

CHAFFETZ: He was a private citizen. It's the throes of a campaign. It's ten minutes! And he is trying to get out of the meeting. Are you kidding me? Hold that same standard to the Clintons, and it would be totally different.
