Election. Thats a big development, courtesy of the New York Times. We have that story in documents show. And later, Elizabeth Warren surging after the debate. Well show you the numbers that suggest one way shes rising. And then the ultimate fact choke stop and frisk policing the judge who issued the famous ruling, cutting down bloomberg policy is actually our exclusive guest on the beat. So there is a lot on the show. And we think it will be interesting. We begin with this. The truth still exists. The truth still matters. Those are the new words from federal judge Amy Berman Jackson today. She said them. They read they will aloud in court as she sentenced roger stone to prison. This is an historic day. This is judge trump recently attacked sentencing his longest serving adviser, to 40 months in prison. Thats just over three years. A prison term longer than what stones lawyers were petitioning for and longer than what donald trump has been publicly demanding. A reminder tonight as all this other stuff is going on. What may be the most important thing you need to know about america. We have independent life tenured judges in this country who can stand up to political pressurem himself. Who can stand up to the Justice Department which is a separate Branch Government which famously here has made this rare intervention in the case to cut down stones recommended extension, leading to the recommendations. Stone remains out of prison. While these other procedures play out. He is the sixth trump aide to be found guilty in bob muellers probe. You take it together and trumps aides have been hit with more prison time than any other president in history. And judge jackson while hammering the actions, noting the dismay and disgust at the defendants belligerence which should tran scent party and echoing what i mentioned to understand. She said the truth still exists. The truth still matters. And continued, stones insistence that it doesnt, his belligerence, his pride and his own lies are a threat to our most fundamental institutions, to the foundations of our democracies. The Mueller Probe is over. Like any accountability in our criminal justice system, it is this process and punishment system, it stretches out over time. While it has certainly seen misrepresentations including from the doj itself. It has seen metling. Judge jackson here, an independent arbiter, struck a blow very clearly backing up muellers work. Backing up the convictions and a blow against those undercutting it. Which as mentioned, include the Trump Administration. She fact checked claims from stone and his allies. Stone had not been prosecuted by his adversaries, nor by anyone to gain any quote, political advantage. Now about that meddling by bill barr. This is case last week that everyone was freaking out about. That donald trump was intervening in, and bill barr was talking about. This is now happening with this prison sentence for mr. Stone. And tomorrow morning stone prosecutors, when they stepped down last week in what some called the tuesday night massacre, at a very procedural level, the doj replacements had to go finish this up. They told the court, that orange request which caused that whole firestorm for a tougher sentence, they said it was presented in good faith. Thats a type of legal compliment of those who left. Trump has been attacking them. Then they made a different argument. They said bill barr softened it because of a, quote, miscommunication. This is our top story for a reason. Has the big, important story and it is a rejection of what bill barr and the president is trying to do. And my job is to show that they saw this as a miscommunication. My job is to try to share with you the factual context that weve learned. Four prosecutors dont typically take career altering step of withdrawing from a case over a miscommunication. The Justice Department doesnt typically leave something this big open to any potential miscommunication. Everyone involved understands the high stakes, the scrutiny. This is last known case handing down a prison frerm the Mueller Probe. And of course, it involves the president s adviser. As for mr. Barrs he claim hes also fine going soft order stone, he just objects to donald trump tweeting about it. This is had looking thinner and thinner because oops, he did it again, tweeting about the case including making his top promoted tweet for his 72 million followers a fox news clip now advocating a stone pardon. President trump could end this travesty in an instant with a pardon and there are indications tonight that he will do that. Democrats will become unhinged if donald trump pardons roger stone but theyre unhinged anyway. What happened to roger stone should never happen to anyone in this country. It is completely immoral. It is wrong. Fixing it is the right thing to do. In the end, that is only thing that matters. This is where Donald Trumps brazen disregard for ruse undercuts his attorney generals attempts at a more lawyerly strategy. Donald trump is blatant talking about that pardon today. I would love to see roger exonerated. I would love to see it happen. I think it was treated very under fairly. Ill watch it very closely and at some point ill make determination. Today the president falsely claimed stone was not at all involved in the 2016 campaign. Heres another stonetrump ally now in prison as well. Ive known him for a long time. And hes actually a quality guy. Hes a nice guy. Roger always wanted me to run for president. And over the years, every type a president ial race came up, he always wanted me to run and i didnt have interest at that time. Rogers relationship with trump has been so interconnected, it is hard to define what is rogerer and what is donald. It will clearly be a Trump Presidency but i think it is influenced by a stone philosophy. A stone philosophy. Well, lets talk about that briefly. The stone philosophy is what was roundly rejected and criminally sanctioned in federal court today. Because some lies are crimes like lying to congress as this judge told him and told america. Truth matters. And he was sentenced to three years in prison which may have donald trump worried in the midst of talks of more russian meddling about whether there may be more to say about the 2016 collection mr. Trump was involved in. Im joined now by two former prosecutors. David kelly, the former u. S. Attorney general for the famed sornl district of new york and my former boss. And im joined by former federal prosecutor, john flannery. I begin with you, having handled tough cases. This is something that was just a huge clash across america from last week the resignations. Everyone saying, wow, all this posh judge jackson. Did it impact in any way you can discern . What do you make of the sentence of mr. Stone . First, i think it is bizarre that were listening to fox news say that lying to sxong threatening a witness with death and being convicted of that is a travesty. I think judge berman was able to cut through all that. And i think the sentence was certainly lighter than what the prosecutors had originally recommended what they recommended was completely consistent, not only with the guidelines. It was scarily within the guidelines. Not low, not high but squarely within the guidelines. And youre talking about rules that apply to everyone for the number of years you get. Exactly. Thats the problem. They did exactly what they were supposed to do and they were completely consistent with current Justice Department policy. What the second letter did was to step away from all those principles, all those rules without any level of transparency and say we wont do it. The lack of transparency is particularly troubling. Im going to press you on that. Do you buy bill barrs Justice Department defense today . This is new. That it was all a miscommunication . I dont buy it. If you look at the court transcript, i think it was the assistant u. S. Attorney crabbe, i think it is, who refused to really go into deliberations before the judge. He wouldnt explain what was behind that. And i think, look. Theres something to be said for not revealing deliberations of internal Justice Department deliberations. Here, youre confronted by a judge. Are you, why are you telling me to do what the guidelines tell you to do . They didnt really do their duty in terms of giving guidance to the judge. Heres the guidelines. We think you should be soft on them, were not saying why but do it with a wink and a nod. What do you think of the sentencing today . I thought the judge did a very good job in a very difficult situation. She upheld each of the enhancement thats got the first team to the first numbers they had. Seven to nine years. It was very interesting, when crabbe appeared, as david noticed, and he was asked, how did that second memo come about . It has your name on it. Did you sign it . Did somebody prepare you for it and have you sign it . Thats where he went silent. I think if we didnt have two kinds of lawyers in this nation, we would be nowhere. The same true in watergate. We have leaders who stood by the law and four resigned the case. One left the Justice Department. Then we have, apparently shea. He became the u. S. Attorney general in part to handle this case. You mentioned barr. Let me share. This was his did defense of why they tried to go in in this very unusual way and lower the recommendation. Take a look. They wanted to advocate for a sentence that was at the top between seven and nine years. I came to the view, as my colleagues did, i wouldnt support what i thought was an excessive sentence. I think the 2,000 lawyers that objected on, this was an intrusion of justice and an under fair and inappropriate and illegal way, had an effect on what he says. Because today, when the assistant u. S. Attorney general was there, and the judge mentioned, you probably dont know anything about this case, which of true, he upheld the original recommendation of those prosecutors, directly contradicting the statement you just played. I think what we have is these guys who signed that letter. And federal judges putting out a special meeting to comment on this. I thought judge jackson laid it out very carefully. That she wouldnt be bowed by political pressure. And trump himself is supposedly from the evidence at the, having a conversation that was the very thing that was the subject of this. The wikileaks information. He is implicated in this. The old law is that you cant be a judge in your own case. Here he would pardon them, pressure the Justice Department, and barr would do what he was told. I think we push back on a legal system and i hope we can push back even more. This is such a constitutional crisis in our country, at the top we have corruption, people doing and serving themselves and not the law and not justice. I would hope that we on see the same thing that happened to mitchell and to meese happen to this guy. He has no business doing this given the speech he gave in nevada wheflt gave that statement that you showed on theary. That was outrageous. He has no on business. Here we are a week out from all these efforts including the direct targeting of judge jackson, the senior judge in that circuit spoke out against. Parts of the system are holding. We will 73 there are more developments. Meanwhile, the other new reports that americas spy agencies are telling us. Later, we will tell you about what weve learned about last nights debate. New information including how many voters may have tuned in to something that could really shape the race going into nevada. And later, an exclusive judge calling it unconstitutional racial profiling. Whatever happens out there today, remember, you have the hilton app. Will the hilton app help us pick the starters .

Turning to breaking news, the New York Times reporting that russia is formally interfering in the 2020 election to help trumps reelection. U. S. Intelligence thats the who work under the Trump Administration have related this news to the house intelligence committee. That according to five sources that spoke with the New York Times in the briefing. Angered trump so much pits, according to this new report, the reason he ousted the current acting director of all intelligence in the United States and replaced when i am a loyalist who has literally almost no intelligence experiential inside the u. S. Government what so ever. Youre joining me by phone. Thank you for being here. Why dont you tell us both your retook this news. I think it is extremely scarey. There is nothing more threatening to National Security handle the to have facts gathered by our Intelligence Community and then politicize it. I dont know all the facts. I dont know what was in the briefing, obviously. It sure sounds like the reporting from the flork times suggest that he removed mr. Maguire because he didnt like the facts his staffer was reporting. Youre referring to both the international news, which is the Trump Administrations own Intelligence Experts telling them news they may not like. Russia interfering i trying to change at the highest levels of running u. S. Intelligence. I would like you to tell us, one of the several who wrote this new piece who have just on msnbc moments ago and said that part of what is happening, according to the election, is meddling in the 2020 primaries. They told the house last thursday, february 13th, that russia was most certainly interfering in the 2020 election in the democratic primaries trying to sow chaos. I wassed it would be the same will in 2016 and adequate concerns about russia going into possible voting infrastructure. Ambassador . We shouldnt be surprised. Weve done almost nothing to protect ourselves since 2016 i do admire what facebook, google, twitter, theyve all been combatting this. If you read what theyve been doing, february 12th. Facebook reported that they removed, coordinated inauthentic behavior from russia. Thats evidence that russia is interfering in our elections. We dont know the full extent of it. Correct . And thats what is troubling. That the president cut want people toppi know the full exte of it. Ive said it maybe a hundred times over the last four years. I dont understand why the president doesnt understand that this is no good for him. It discredits his own election or reelection. So he should be out in front of this condemning what the russians doing instead of trying on cover it up with. No disrespect to grenell but he is not qualified to do this job. Hes most shirt not qualified to do it as a part time gig while serving as the ambassador to germany and i think it sends a really negative signal to people i know in the Intelligence Community, somebody who used to work in the government, who deeply defend their project, which is to provide facts. Then let the policy makers interpret those facts. To give him the facts first and let the rest us as policy makers interpret them collectively together. Not before they get to the president of the United States. And one of the officials who said all of this, according to the new reporting, has discussed the russian meddling publicly in this cycle. Take a listen. The russians are already engaging in influence operations relative to candidates going into 2020. That is a big statement familiar to everyone because of this story, all the way back to 2016. Here you have it affecting person he will. The times reporter saying with it the 2020 campaign. So shes just echoing what bob mueller, christopher wray, the director of the fbi, and as recently as october, what theyve all said already. We know this. We know from almost every intelligence official who has testified before congress recently that the russians are still trying to meddle in the u. S. Election process. The news in a sense here is something that might, he just got out. The president s sense of his legitimacy is driving his reactions, not the desire to protect americas National Security. So we should in response to this have an all hands on deck approach. From democrats and republicans and the white house, getting together in an ideal world to protect American Democratic processes. What we have instead is the president putting his own political anxieties that shift might have heard this, somehow delegitimize his election beginning, putsing that before the National Security. Let me ask the other question that we would ask in fairness to anyone. You mentioned schiff putting him off. I dont see how anyone defending the government rules can defend any attempt to knee cap intelligence. What about the argument from trumps allies, that adam schiff has played a dual role. He just ran the impeachment trial. The president is in a sense responding to that dual role which involved the removal of the president. Thats irrelevant in this case when russia is trying to meddle in americas election. And the president and the white house have just been informed of that. It is irrelevant what role adam schiff has played. Involved in trying to stop russia and china and iran and all the actot the American Democratic process. It doesnt really matter what theyve done before hand. The priority has to be protecting the nations security. Put very forthrightly. My thanks to both of you. When we are back in 30 seconds, ill be joined by a prosecutor. Were tracking these two big stories. The new prison sentence for a trump aide who claimed a back channel to the very had emails which did help trump in 2016. Roger stone getting over three years. And trump just issued other controversial pardon this is week. The whole process has flouted the actual ruse for Justice Department pardons where there is a dedicated pardon attorney, paid by you, taxpayers, that is supposed to ensure full time that this is done in a fair way. Reports show donald trump is listening more to people on fox news than his own doj. So if at times supplanted by Tucker Carlson who promoted people trump pardoned this week and is now pushing the stone pardon. The clip youre about to see is the one trump posted to his online followers today. There are indications that he will do that. Democrats had become unhinged if trump pardons roger stone but theyre unhinged anyway. What has happened to roger stone should never happen to anyone in this country. It is completely immoral. It is wrong. Fixing it is the right thing to do and in the end, that is the only thing that matters. Had youve bone this for a while. Yes. There is a lot going to including russian interference in 2020. One is the interference by the russian government and the second is Donald Trumps coverup of all of this. Roger stone, the reason he does not want roger stone to go to jail is because roger stone knows where all the bodies are buried. He is the only person in america that dealt with two people strategically releasing the stolen moise from the Democratic National committee. Guccifer 2. 0 who mueller identified as a russian intelligence officer, and on wikileaks which mueller also identified as a cutout for the russian government. And here you have roger stone who back in april of 2016, before anybody knew about anything about stolen emails, was knowledgeable about what the russians had. And else the person who supposedly fired from the Trump Campaign in 2015. Yet if you look at the phone records that came out during the stone trial, he had multiple conversations with donald trump, with rick gates, manaforts deputy, and manafort who was the campaign manager. So youre reminding everyone that people like mr. Manafort andimely broke. Not mr. Manafort though. How about half flipped . He did a flip with a twist involved. He kept his mouth shut. Now youre an olympics referee on the back flip. I take your legal point. What im asking you, as you say, hardly enough in your view. Is donald trump afraid if roger stone gets closer to really serving this threeyear sentence, that something could change . No question. I appeared with roger stone on one of your shows. He is an extremely weak individual. He talks a good game. When he matters jail cell clang behind him, he wont take very long of will. Weve thought about that. Today is the day, roger stone famously attacked judge during the trial. Almost went to jail just for that. Donald trump attacked her. The interference by trump. Has the story that donald trump may not want people to understand fully. You have this history going toe to toe during watergate. You wrote a memo about tear interrogating him. I was able to interview both you and roger stone. Lets take a look at 2017. Roger, thats what many young people know about richard nixon. But there was more than. That do you think even notwithstanding watergate, he was a Great American . Well, arms limitations with the soviets. What does this tell us about watergate that has been less known . I think it tells us that watergate was a much greater attack on our democracy from all different almosts. Wrong, wrong, wrong. That never happen. Absolutely wrong. It went on like that. Now you see him awaiting prison. More broadly, what is judge jacksons message, do you think, to the nation in these times when there is so much concern, fear and cynicism about whether anything works . Her message is clear shelf didnt Pay Attention to all the noise around her. She took her job very seriously. And she came up with a sentence that she thought was fair and appropriate. Whatever that sentence is, even though it is over three years, donald trump also knows that roger stone is a weak individual. And roger stone could very well turn into another one of his lawyer friends who wound up cooperating against him. Michael cohen. If you go back and look at the spire picture. Its not just roger stone. His had good buddy Paul Manafort supposedly cooperated. Dont forget, through public statements, he has assured that hell get a pardon. Such interesting analysis. Youre so close to this. If donald trump thought there was no cost to the pardon, he might have done it by now. You can pardon preemptively. Right . There is Something Else going on heading into reelection. Russia interfering. Donald trump afraid of perceptions. Vulnerable in some ways but potentially, afraid of what mr. Stone could say if he ever started talking. Youve been on the story with us from the beginning. Thank you. Nick will be back on the beat tomorrow i know what the great hip hop podcaster.

Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure.

The democrats running for president face off in nevada. This was the ninth primary debate and we can report, america was watching. Take a look at this. Previous debates averaging around 10 million viewers. Yesterdays debate doubling to 20 million combined viewers. Look at this. Senator warren who many said had a great night now says shes raised 5 million since walking off the debate stage. Well break it all down. Lets look at key moments from Elizabeth Warren. A billionaire who cause women fat broads and horse faced lesbians. Im talking about mayor bloomberg. Mayor buttigieg really has a slogan thought up by his consultants. It is not a plan. Its a power point. And amys plan is like a post it note. It was boxing in the 1950s. Thats what Elizabeth Warren did. Titanic, meet Elizabeth Warren. She brought a howitzer and she waunlts afraid to use it. I have no doubt bees to drop another 100 million to try to erase americas memory of what happened on that debate stage. A big night for warren . Yeah. She had some incredible moments in confronting bloomberg. The danger for her is that it was all attack. She attacked bloomberg but she attacked clone, she attacked buttigieg, she attacked sanders. All in the same 30 seconds. She really went after everybody. And there is a moment when it is exciting to watch. But in a way, she was such a whirl of attacks that she herself was a little blurry at times. And thats the question. People who are in politics sometimes focus on things. Like the pugnacious moments. Thats why we look to the fundraising and other indications. It seems, especially in nevada, a fight for democratic activists. Not every random voter who may tune in later. Were seeing the signs that they liked her being that pugnacious. I want to put on Something Else. We keep an eye across the culture. The attacks on bloomberg actually went viral. A social media user saying warren going after bloomberg and setting to it a classic beat to the rapper, a reference to a rap battle he had with another rapper, jayz. All you need to know is it is about dising, bodying or ethering your opponent. Which is a what whatever this shows. And horse faced lesbians. No. Im not talking about donald trump of what you hear here, this is widely shared today. People liking that shes putting out a distract on michael bloomberg. One funny thing about the horse face quote. If you go back to the source, the wisdom of mike bloomberg, hes actually talking about Princess Anne of great britain. It is a strange line. I think that she chose that one partly because so many of the things in that book were so frankly obscene that you couldnt really say them on television. Youre saying horse race was the safe for tv thing bloomberg said. Yeah. He had to be ready for this. Was he ready . No. And thats interesting of it is not like there arent people who couldnt have given him better advice. If he didnt buy their services, he didnt want their services. Over, hell be a manager, hell have great people around him if hes president. Maybe not. You still have to be the guy who uses the advice. Youre making a great point. Weve heard other candidates say ill get the best people. Youre saying debates, unlike the ads and other things, allow the voters, and we saw a double the number of voters to assess for themselves. Does this person know how to take information and lead. Which i thought was really striking. The other key moment i wanted to get you on. Where this could be where this lands. Everybody wants to know, who will be in the lead and what happens heading into convention. You have people asking, what if nobody gets a full majority . Should they be the nominee . Take a look. Whatever the rules of the Democratic Party are, they should be informed. Let the process work its way out. Let the process work the process includes 500 super delegates on the second ballot. So i think that the will of the people should yes. Now this is where the whole thing could head. The whole enchilada. Sanders in 2016 took a different view. Some say it depends on how youre doing. The broader context is in 2008, barack obama, his top strategist david axel rod was all about this. He told politico, referring to the clinton campaign. When they started out. It was about delegate. Now we have more delegate. Bits the popular vote. If that doesnt work out, theyll probably challenge to us a game of cribbage. Staying only fair sthipg whoever is in the lead. You dont hand it back to the super delegate convention. Insiders. Do you think that sanders is swaf this obama standard . No. I think when people get to the convention, if it is that situation, people are going to look at what theory of the case matches the number of delegates they have. What does that mean . Theyre going to think, what is the right way to do it . What is the right way that gets me closer to the nomination. Could you think the Democratic Party would have a civil war on its hands if it took person who finished first and gave someone else the nomination . They would have trouble getting together for november. That said that may be the understatement of the week. Who knows what happens, if it is a very small margin, a big margin, if there are smoos suddenly make someone seem disqualified in some way. It is hard to say for sure how it will look then. Before this debate, it was Amy Klobuchar who had the big moment and was surging. So it is ill tell you. The Democratic Party under chairman perez talks a lot about representation, fairness, votesing rights. They did change the rules to get bloomberg out of debate stage. If they are creditably views as messing with the rules for who came in first to give someone else the nomination, it will be a fight like youve never seen perhaps in milwaukee.

It was only pulled back they ruled against the policy and is an expert on the exhaustive public record. The New York Times has reported over 5 over 5 million stops were made in bloombergs tenure and in one year, for example, say 2011, 80 perfection perce 8 were people of color. It was a demeaning and humiliating experience and noting no one should live in fear of being stopped. This was a huge story. Remember a little bit of how it was all covered at the time. Tonight a federal judge has come down hard on one of the most Controversial Police tactics in the country ordering changes to new york citys socalled stoppolicy. The judges scathing position condemned the new york police. The judge said tens of thousands of new yorkers had their rights systematically violated. Today the court called it what it is, which is racial profiling. Judge is here. Thank you for being on the beat. Thank you for having me. You spent years, up to ten years on all of these cases. You are literally one of the most knowledgeable experts on this most controversial practice. What do people need to know about it and what if anything was incorrect in last nights debate conversation. What they fwheed need to kno that the court said you can stop and frisk people, but you have to have reasonable suspicion that a crime is being committed, about to be committed. Thats the only basis for stopping and frisking somebody. The frisk part is you have to believe you were in danger. That wasnt the case in these 5 million cases. It appeared to me that what we had was racial profiling, going after a target group which was young black males, 18 to 25. Thats what was going on. The police targeted themselves to those neighborhoods where they believed the crime was heaviest but they also believed thats where the criminals were heaviest. They went after the groups. The stops were mostly dry. 90 of the stops resulted in no further Law Enforcement action. The frisks produced very little of anything. 75 of 1 had anything, any contraba contraband, any guns. It was a failed policy that terrorized, not to mention humiliated hundreds of thousands of young minority of new yorkers. As policy, the mayor ran a policy in a way that you say terrorized people based on their race. Yes, but i want to say the policy started before this mayor. It started with mayor giuliani. Bloomberg picked it up. Bloomberg expanded it enormously. It grew under him to its height. Ill say this whether you do or not as a former judge. Mayor giuliani had a tough policy that was controversial on predominantly tough neighborhoods in new york. Thats right. Mayor bloomberg said lets make it harsher. Thats true. There was a second half of the question. What did people say last night that was wrong. Mayor bloomberg said when i realized it was bad towards the end i ended it and it dropped 95 . That is not accurate. In the last two years or so it began to drop dramatically. 65 , not 95 . It wasnt because he realized, because he had an epiphany, it was because of the court rulings. Joe biden said the Obama Administration stopped it. I thought you stopped it. Is joe biden correct. Of course hes not. You got in ahead of me. Lucky im not in your courtroom. Thats right. I appointed a federal monitor in august of 2013 who didnt take office because mayor bloomberg insisted on trying to appeal my ruling in getting it overturned. Joe biden in your opinion took credit for something judges did. Thats right. Elizabeth warren pressing Mike Bloombergs use of nondisclosure agreements. Could he release those people now . Oh, he absolutely could release those people if he chose to. Some of them may not wish to be released, thats right. Some of them want the privacy of that agreement. But what Elizabeth Warren said correctly, give them their choice. If theyre released and they choose to talk, let them talk. If they dont want to talk, thats fine too. Hes not giving them the choice. Vice President Biden said very simple, release them. Judge, this is a day and a time in our history when federal judges are in the news a lot for all kinds of reasons. They were rarely out in the public square. As a retired federal judge, i appreciate you doing that. Thank you for having me. Thank you, judge. Well fit in a quick break.
