stake is just the death penalty. i think what the defense is doing by admitting or acquiescing to the guilt early is trying to diminish as much as possible many of the horrific details of this incident and trying to diminish some of the evidence coming in that will obviously be used and come in anyway at the penalty phase, but the defense attorneys want to try and diminish that impact on this jury as much as possible, which is why i think you re hearing them making these statements now about expecting him to be found guilty, but it s absolutely going to be relevant when they start addressing what the penalty phase is going to be because we know where the federal prosecutors are trying to take that case, which is the death penalty, which, as i said before, is the same place that the state prosecutors when they try him again on separate charges are going to try and take this case. we re going to see a lot of pretty horrific details coming out in presentations from the
justify the means. look at how boeing ceo responded. you can t always take his tweets as policy. doesn t that overtime weaken? now on the glowing part of the phase. he is testing a lot of these boundaries. what ends up happening. and do people end up acquiescing. don t take it all as policy. he uses twitter for grand proclamations. he gets on and said hey, i m saving 1100 jo. days later, it takes a while and
strategies. this is a one-on-one nation communique that is just not good for that part of the world. admiral williams, same question. do you worry about the contested south china sea, for example? i do, there s $5 trillion of trade that flow through the straits in the south china sea area. i guess some time ago, president obama has been a little bit i guess more acquiescing to china s demands. it happened in the it s happened in a couple of different areas. and i think that donald trump in a sense is kind of standing up to china and saying, it s not going to be business as usual. so it is change. i hope it s not business as usual. vis-a-vis china. we have to make a strategic decision, a policy decision. policy drives strategy. is whether we re going to compete, or whether we re going to cooperate with china. and we haven t fundamentally
julian assange. the state department, we know, is categorically denying that allegation. yeah, tough for julian assange, somebody who, obviously, thrives on the internet, not to have access to the internet. you re right, the state department saying that they did not put direct diplomatic pressure on the ecuadorians to restrict julian assange s internet service. it happened over the weekend after the latest leak of hillary clinton s e-mails. i guess it depends on who you believe. of course, the state department ulwod say that they didn t ask for this, they didn t apply pressure for this. a spokesman saying while our concerns about wikileaks were longstanding, any suggestion that secretary kerry or the state department were involved in shutting down wikileaks is false. again, of course, the ecuadorians would say we acted independently, didn t act after pressure from the u.s., because that leftist government wouldn t want to be seen to be acquiescing to a u.s. demand, if
drug trade. frankly mexico started their extradition proceedings already. this is in stark contrast to the last time he was apprehended where the mexican president nieto refused and said we will only extradite him to the united states after he serve ad 3 or 400 year sentence. this time like that they are beginning that process. bill: emily, why would the mexicans do that? why would they not just go ahead and take care of justice for him? it is probably a mix. number one, they have been embarrassed frankly. the last time they tried to bring him to justice twice he escaped. secondly there is a political climate between the two countries right now reflecting mexico s proaction in terms of dealing with us and acquiescing to our requests. bill: he is escaping because he is getting help on the inside. i think everybody can see that. appears pretty obvious. sean penn is in any sort of trouble here legally or not? frankly not really.
