REP. MICHAEL MCCAUL: I wish the president hadn’t waived the sanctions in the national security interests of the United States. I didn’t understand that. And quite frankly this is kind of Putin’s play here. The pipeline’s already been completed by the way, it’s about certification.

I do know President Biden said he would put an end to Nord Stream 2 if there was an invasion. So I want to hear him say this is an invasion, and I am going to put an end to Nord Stream 2. That would have a major deterrent effect on Putin to stop him from taking over this entire country [of Ukraine].
