Unsettling problem the air force has gotten itself into. Look at the headline on this. Force that protected u. S. Nuclear weapons. I cant see it on my monitor. There we go. I couldnt tell that you could see it. Force that protects u. S. Nuclear weapons loses explosives on north dakota road and offers 5,000 to get them back. This is how the news gods welcome me home from vacation. The air force is offering 5,000 for leads on the whereabouts on a box of explosive grenade rounds its personnel accidentally dropped on a road in north dakota while traveling between two Intercontinental Ballistic Missile sites. Airmen from the Security Force team were traveling on gravel roads may 1, in north dakota when the back hatch of the vehicle opened and container filled with explosive ammunition fell out. The air force sent more than 00 air men to walk the entire sixmile route where the grenades were probably lost, according to a statement fwrt local sheriff, but two weeks after it was lost, the box of explosives still have not been found. Missing ordinance is a belt of linked grenades from the mk19 automatic grenade launcher, this ammunition is specific to that launcher and will not operate in any other launching device without catastrophic failure so if you are watching tonight from north dakota and found a green metal crate dont open it. The air force didnt tell the local sheriff until three days after this thing went missing. Now they are setting up tip line and offering 5,000 reward and making this Public Service announcement because any damage to the container could result in an explosion if you locate the box and find it in a damaged state the area should be evacuated immediately. Again this is a box of live grenades dropped out of a bumpy truck on a road nobody noticed it. Couldnt find it. Didnt tell the local cops for three days. Now its been two weeks. Uhoh. And that is the part of the u. S. Military responsible for the security of our live nuclear weapons. Its been that kind of day in the news today. Welcome back. Today north korea called off talks with south korea. Less than 24 hours before those talks were suppose the to start in the dmz and north korea calling off planned summit because joint exercise is going on between u. S. And south Korean Military its a exercise thats been happening every year for a decade but today north korea, surprise, decided this planned military exercise, this annual thing, is now viewed by them as such a terrible provation that talks tomorrow with south korea are off, at the last minute, and might mean the meeting next month between kim jongun and donald trump is off too. Nobody ever accused the north korean dictator of being the worlds most rational negotiator until donald Trump Association thought donald trump should be the first u. S. President to meet with x. North korean dictator but that meeting may be off now, they had no idea that was coming. No matter how you feel about donald trump talking to the north korean dictator and calling him honorable and complimenting him how excellent he treats american prisoners in north korean, surprise is not anything anybody looks forward to anything to do with north korean and nuclear weapons. For now it looks like the north and south korean summit tomorrow is definitely off. The u. S. North korean summit next month is basically on ice. Anything could happen at any moment well let you know more if we learn more over the course of this hornet. In federal court in washington, Paul Manafort was dealt a big setback. His lawyers once again sought to have the multiple felony charges pending against him thrown out basically by arguing that the special Counsel Robert Mueller was somehow improperly pursuing this line of inquiry in the charges against Paul Manafort. Manafort is pursuing that same line in d. C. And virginia, facing charges in both districts, the virginia motion is still pending but the judge ruled on the matter in d. C. And she ruled against manafort in a big way. Quote, the indictment alleged that not only definitives uk crane clients were supportive of and supported by russia but that manaforts primary client was embedded in russia relative to the charges. Quote continuing so Donald TrumpsCampaign ChairmanPaul Manafort already had his civil suit against the special counsel and Justice Department thrown out. The judge hearing his criminal case in d. C. Has also today ripped manafort as attack on the legitimacy of Robert Mueller and of the special counsel investigation and the judge has denied manaforts motion to dismiss felony charges pending against him in d. C. Again manafort will try this same line of argument in virginia to try to get the charges dropped there too. This ruling today does not bode well. It was not just a no, it was a no with about ten exclamation points from this judge. Beyond that legal trouble for the president s Campaign Chairman today. The New York Times has dropped this box of grenades off the back of the truck. According to the times, the fbi and u. S. Justice department are now investigating the data firm that the Trump Campaign used during the 2016 election, the controversial data firm that has disbanded in britain cambridge analytica. It is not clear whether the investigation is tied to the inquiry led by Robert Mueller special counsel. Times reports this tonight can thats interesting. And meanwhile. We also have a whole new plot line to try to figure out tonight. I swear the news gods save these things up for me when i go fishing, like a test to see if i can get into the swing of things and make sense of Something Like this right after i get back. This is a weird one. This starts with basketball, sort of. You know how theres regular soccer. Theres prosoccer and then theres indoor soccer, looks like a cross between ice hockey and foosball but its live, arena soccer hasnt quite caught on in the same way but is a spin off of normal soccer which is hugely profitable, successful and profitable. Similarly you know how there was once an xfl, an xfl spin off of profootball like a cross between profootball and prowrestling, that spin off didnt catch on either, xfl only lasted one season. Well like arena soccer, for soccer and xfl for football theres also a probasketball spin off now. Its three on three instead of five on five. You play on half court instead of full court an the rules are tweaked to make it just different enough that its a spin off of regular basketball. Not just a mini version of proball. Theres all sorts of gimmicks in this three on three game. In regular basketball one point for three point and two points normal shot and three points outside of the arc that marks the u, the far distance from the basket. The new three on three, in addition to one, two, and three point shots theres a fourpoint spot if you stand in a specific circle marked with the four. Those spots are really far away, so to shoot from there you get extra points, four points, and theres only three players instead of five players. Theres a very fast shot clock. You have to take a shot at the hoop quickly when you get the ball. Makes it exciting for fans. Theres tons of shooting. For the players its also nice. Not that much running around. For its short court only half a court. You have to shoot really fast. Theres not a lot of players on the court it pass it around anyway. Its perhaps not a coincidence that the athletes expected to be the stars off the three on three league are player whos are retired from the nba, players who are still very big and very strong and probably very good shots but maybe dont want to run up and down the court so much any more. Three on three probasketball. It may eventually become, you know, the biggest maybe bigger than nascar, bigger than the nfl, bigger than olympic curling, who knows. Skys the limit. But for now pro three an three basketball is a quirky idea, right. Its a first season start up idea. Might work. Might not. Among the founders of the league are ice cube. Legendary rapper who was in nwa and other things and gone on to acting and sports stewardship the guy who played ice cube in Straight Outta Compton was ice cube sons in real life. I know. Another founder along with ice cube is a connected hollywood guy names jeff q they filed a lawsuit in california, brought a civil lawsuit against investor whos they say promised a ton of money to get the league up and running but the investors fell through on the commitments and that hurt the league. It makes clear these guys are thinking big about their start up Basketball League. In the civil lawsuit they are suing for damages, specifically 1. 2 billion in damages. Sure, why not. The reason this random start up half court retireeoriented new Basketball League is making National News tonight is actually because of a new filing in that lawsuit. It diverts from the four point shot and shot clock and exciting rule s about Technical Rules and swearing. With this new filing and lawsuit it veered sharply towards the white house and weirdly towards the special counsel investigation, the basketball lawsuit did, im not kidding, that story is next. Stay with us. This is emilys third nomination and first win. Um. So, just. Wow um, first of all, to my fellow nominees, it is an honor sharing the road with you.

Halftime hits when a team reaches 25. Theres a 14 second shot clock. Thats right you only got 14 seconds once the ball is in play. Animated ice cube explaining the rules of the big 3 threeonthree proBasketball League that hes a founder of. Our life as american citizens is just weird enough now that mr. Cube and his cofounder and by extension their new quirky basketball start up league are now part of our National Political news and news about scandal involving our new president because of a lawsuit that was just filed by the cofounders of that league against investors in that league. So check this out, this is a sworn declaration that ice cubes Business PartnerJeff Kwatinetz has fired, quote quote continues by way of introduction, right. Now we get to the reason of the lawsuit. Quote and now heres the reason for the lawsuit, quote definitives only funded 6. 5 million said they would put 20 over could you haved up only 6. 5. Quote continues now at this point i need to tell you the defendants in the lawsuit are four guys, supposed dead beat investors said they would give this money and didnt hand it over, four guys from the nation of qatar and the leave investor is the lead investigation that governor uses to spend money all over the world. His name is akmed. R. The lead defense in the civil Law Enforcement at this point of the lawsuit he becames the main character. Quote quote continues now, this guy, who helped found this Basketball League, had a previous business relationship with steve bannon. He was connected to steve bannon. Hes a friend of steve bannons. So maybe its a normal thing that this investor guy and his firm is like hey i need you to hook me up with bannon yes technically from the rules of logic but step back for a second as i citizen this is crazy, right . This is a lawsuit about qatari guys not coughing up their investment for aged players and now offering money to make steve bannon their paid agent after he has been fired from the white house. What . Yeah. This is real. This is our life now. Youre not asleep. Back to the transcript, quote o i have no idea about Michael Flynn and your money. But at this point, the story is still absolutely worth ignoring, right. Maybe this is a fascinating wacky off shoot of the plucky story of the threeonthree Basketball League that could. Right. Without casting aspersions on any of the people involved this is a civil lawsuit file in california in a showbiz sports world case by a guy that once had business connections to steve bannon. No reason to think this is anything other than a wild assertion made as a publicity stunt to make people talk about new way to play basketball without running around too much. But then this happened. Michael a the lawyer for Stormy Daniels and her case against the president and Michael Cohen, he has a flare for the dramatic, obviously and he has broken some significant news over these last few months during which time hes become unavoidable for comment in the media but made subsequent claim thats have been born out and he just posted online this picture with this cryptic caption, quote. Obviously the only recognizable person in this photo is Michael Cohen on the right. We dont know what avenati is up to with this. Tick, tick, tick. Whats going on . What details . Whats this about . This is his follow up quote now at this point, its still possibly just a publicity stunt for the threeonthree Basketball League with an assist from lawyer from Stormy Daniels hyping that publicity stunt and one of his own, wild claims about qatari guy linked not just to basketball. Seems nutty but late this afternoon we get confirmation from the qatari guy in question who was an official and he confirms, yeah thats me. Yeah that was him in the elevator at that picture at trump tower. He confirms he was there december 12, 2016, to meet with trump transition officials. A person familiar saying quote so. The news gods are mischievious and i swear they sometimes throw things at us just to make sure were pay ago tension. In this story we have a qatari Government Official who was in control of a huge pot of qatari money and is accused of bragging he used qatari money to bribe, slash fund Michael Flynn and hes accused of using more qatari man to bribe fund steve bannon and turns out believe it or not, the dude was actually at trump tower during the transition and he confirms and admits he was there during the transition to meet with trump transition officials, plus Michael Cohen who was not a trump transition official or a Trump Campaign official but whose Financial Life is held up by the ankles and shaken by federal investigation led by prosecutors in the Southern District of new york. Qatar was also approached by Jared Kushners family about funding their real estate family, those approaches made after Jared Kushner was working at the white house. Qatari famously not handing over information to the Robert Mueller investigation as the investigation clearly tries to follow the money. So there you have it. Threeonthree probasketball of all things is now part of the scene and the cast of characters here. And eventually somebodys going to have to explain why the teeny, teeny, tiny very rich nation of qatar keeps turning up in the middle of all these shady trump story lines. Joining us, curator of timelines between connection of qatar and Trump Administration thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. This story is nuts. And i spent almost all of the first almost all of the amount of time reading about it thinking this was a publicity stunt that was dropping names and provocative allegations just to get attention to this Basketball League then we got confirmation from this qatari official saying he was involved with meeting with trump officia officials, what do you think is important about this story . Theres a lot of moving parts on this timeline and true qatar keep popping up in various weird moments. Lets start briefly with the steel dossier which alleged there was going to be a plan to sell 19 of this giant oil company that russia owned as a state oil company and to sell 19 and generate commissions to pay off the trump people as a kwid proquo for lifting sanctions, that dossier doesnt get published until after the election, around time of the inauguration. Turns out while was in couple hands the events were playing out in realtime. Jump to after the election. December 2016. First of all, you got kushner and flynn troo iitrying to set secret line with the kremlin on december 1st. December 7th, qatar and another Company Called glen core from switzerland they go ahead and buy 19. 5 of that Russian Company rose nift and these events youre looking at happened four days later, december 12th in trump tower what are these officials alrumaihi and finance minister alatani they show up, okay. There seems to be a plan that is connecting the dots and one month later we get the steel dossier that shows this plan was coming together. It turns out when the purchase was made we didnt know it was qatar was only revealed later. Heres how it connects to the basketball organization. If that time something right that in june 2017 why is qatar back in the story . My speculation is that qatar fwhwas in on the deal to be intermediary between russia and trump. They needed to get the money to the trump world. Once the dossier gets published in january, qatar gets cold feet, then when they start backing out, there is a gulf crease is with the saudi arabia and united arab themmerits and the reporting it kushner tried to escalate that cries in april. Crisis in april. Then trying to get back into good graces with bannon and 184 million loan qatar backs to give to kushner. My speculation is the deal was in place. Qatar plays intermediary role in december. Then the dossier gets published. They freak out. Ultimately when the screws are turned they then deliver a loan to kushner. So, when this allegations that turn up in the basketball lawsuit actually turn up, this is after, according to the lawsuit, allegations in the lawsuit that are denied by the gentlemen in question, this effort is to try to make contact with steve bannon. Steve bannon has already left the white house at this point. This is reportedly after the fire and fury book upsets the white house and leads to steve bannon being fired. At that point why would qatar be trying to cultivate steve bannon after he has left the white house . I think theyre trying to figure tout. Theyre in a very tough position, right. This crisis between saudi and qatar is still brewing, its still a block aid and they are trying to find various angles to work things out. If you look at the timeline that seems to connect the dots. Lets focus onto key events of the story. Right. Qatar is at trump tower these two qatari officials just coincidentally show up at trump tower on december 12th immediately after qatar is the purchaser of nose nef theres a lot of investigation to connect the dots. Thats the key event we learned about today. That seems to be the linchpin that could have been part of delivering this money from russia to the trump world in return for sanctions. I dont think any of these people knew exactly what they were doing. I think theres a lot of sloppyness in this story and i dont think they expected the steel dossier to come out. So we have i think a degree of inexperience, over confidence, desperation and panic that leads to a lot of weird steps to the story. Emphasis on weird. Jed shugerman professor at Florida Law School this is a weird turn from the confirmation of the qatari official that he was there in trump tower that day was very unexpected turn thanks for helping us through. Nice to see you. Yeah, thank you. We have a lot more to get to tonight. Good to be back, kind of. Be right back. Stay with us. Let someone else do the heavy lifting.

I thought after sandy hook, where 20 six and seven year olds were slain, this would never happen again. It has happened more than 200 times in 5 years. Dianne feinstein and a new generation are leading the fight to pass a new assault weapons ban. Say no to the nra and yes to commonsense gun laws. California values senator Dianne Feinstein the investigation took almost three years but when they closed it they did so with just a couple dozen words, quote that was november 2010 prosecutor john durham was in charge of investigating specific part of the cia post 911 secret torture program to investigate the tapes of the agents torturing their prisoners. The judge ordered the cia to turnover the tapes but instead the cia fed them into a shredder. Investigated the case for three years to see if who destroyed the tapes should be charged with a crime. Found they destroyed 92 tapes logging hundreds of hours of interrogation and torture and he had long findings and recommended no charges, case closed end of story. The Durham Report sat in a filing cabinet in the Justice Department. When the New York Times wrote about it they buryed it on page twelve of the paper but one new nuget in the story if you podger to read quote. A spokesman for durham telling the times, quote the investigation is ongoing. So john durham gets appointed to look into this stuff and decides nobody should be charged for shredding the tapes, but could cia officials involved get charged anyway not for destroying the tapes but for lying to a grand jury and to federal investigators about the destruction of the tapes. Ongoing investigation for that part of it. Well, that second investigation kept going for another couple years. Digging into whether anybody at cia lied to federal investigators and grand jury about turning those tapes into confetti. The New York Times durham investigation now reporting again with new urgency on the little known second report written by durham related to the investigation centered on anybody who was interviewed by investigators or testified by grand jury may have made false statements or commitment commitmented perjury during the investigation. The next director of cia, as the official, she over saw the sight where torture took place and is the person who drafted the cable that ordered the tapes to be shredded. Because gina plays a big part of in the story of the tapes and investigation that came after it, and the senate about to vote whether she should be in charge of the cia maybe a good time for the senate to see that second secret john Durham Report. Democrats have asked the Trump Administration to see it. They want to read it before they vote on gina haspel did she tell the truth to investigators . To a grand jury . Turns out there was a twoyear long investigation of that. What were its findings . Should senators be allowed to know that before they vote on her . The Senate IntelligenceCommittee Votes tomorrow on gina haspels nomination to lead the cia, suggested to be on track to be confirmed by the senate. Before this becomes official theres a key piece of gina haspels story, her history with the cia torture program that right now is locked in a filing cabinet at the Justice Department with senators not allowed to see it. The first vote on her nomination is tomorrow. Will Senate Democrats get the key to that filing cabinet in time. Watch the space but dont hold your breath. vo we came here for the friends. And we got to know the friends of our friends. And we found others just like us. And just like that we felt a little less alone. But then something happened.

In march 2012 toward the end of the first obama term we got a special report from the rurts Reuters News AgencyChinese Firm Helps Iran spy on citizens, suggesting a chinese phone Company Called zte violating sanctions on iran by settling the irangovernment technology to allow iran to spy on its own t citizens, house Intelligence Committee reported zte didnt answer questions couldnt be trusted. The matter of zte was big issue during Obama Administration and remained an issue. Just last month Trump Commerce secretary announced huge penalty against zte fine of more than 1 billion and seven year ban from the Company Getting parts from the United States. He said the company lied to u. S. Officials how it handled and settled allegations not just of them selling equipment unlawfully to iran but also doing the same to north korea. That was just last month. A fine of more than a billion dollars and seven year ban on getting parts from the u. S. Then all of a sudden this weekend, new arrangement. The Commerce Department has been instructed by President Trump to help get zte back into business. Right away. Fast. The tough on china trade wars are good and easy to win president has all of a sudden decided that he wants to help this Chinese Company. Which republicans and democrats have said is a threat, which violated sanctions on both iran and north korea and then lied to the u. S. Government about. And maybe it has nothing to do with new york reports about the Chinese Government offering half billion in financing for a theme park at an indonesia resort where donald trump and his company have a big financial stake. Maybe the president reversing course on the big Chinese Company is something President Trump wants to give in on maybe out of the goodness of his heart.

Adam schiff is the top democrat in the house Intelligence Committee and has been well known in the last year and half for his role in the Intelligence Committee investigation of the russia scandal but back before anybody knew that this was going to be a Trump Administration controversy congressmen scherff was key part of a bipartisan investigation are of a chinese Company Called zte and condemned zte and described them as a threat to the United States and now President Trump has reversed u. S. Policy on that company and declared that he wants to help that Company Despite previous bipartisan conclusions that zte was a threat, despite decision by the Trump Administration just last month that they should be fined more than a billion dollars an fanned seven year banned for seven years for buying part froms the United States. What was the threat from zte . The threat was the Chinese Government could use the telecommunications back bone that zte provides to commit espionage in the United States to spy on Government Agencies and defense contractors that we considered after an investigation of zte and wawei another chinese tell com first that this was unacceptable risk to our National Security and mike conal way introduced legislation to prohibit zte from buying and more compelling, is the fact that they were cheating on sanctions that we improsed over Irans Nuclear program. And their missile program. And sanctions over north korea and then lying about it to us. This capit u elimination by the president is really inskplikable it is inviable to our National Security and so Something Else must be going on. Of course you wonder when you see this reporting about china investing half billion in a trumprelated project whether the two are connected. And thats wonder is the right word. Theres no obvious direct suggestion that the president has made this u turn in u. S. Policy away from a bipartisan consensus in u. S. Policy and conclusion of his own Administration Even just last month theres no indication it has anything to do with the Chinese Government funded the project Trump Administration is invested in over seas but theres a reason president s in the past havent had those business interest nor accepted that kind of Foreign Policy nag their involved in so to avoid that appearance it may have motivated decision making. Exactly right and the point of the constitution. We should not have to guess what the president s motivation is or wonder is the president doing this because of some unseen strategy involving trade or National Security or is this because his family stands to benefit to the tune of who knows how many millions of dollars, we shouldnt have to wonder. He, like other president s, should have divested his business interests, his family members shouldnt be using their positions of responsibility in the administration to further their own businesses. Its exactly the problem that the moluous clause was designed to address and unfortunately we should be doing investigation of this in congress but the committee would be doing it is chair bid trey goudy and although he brought endless benghazi investigations now he decided since clints are not a target no point in investigations on that committee.

He told us what he could about it
