are the top of the food chain. if you start treating your people, and we have a problem with morale in the va. and i will say this, the veterans of this country deserve better than that. our vetting is not through yet. still have more information to gather. if this turns out to be solidly factual, then we have a big problem with admiral jackson. do you have doubts that it is not factual? not yet. so in terms of alcohol, from what your sources are saying, there were times when he was not able to function in his job. that is correct. and other times when he was inebriated and wasn t called upon to do his job.
though there s something wrong going on here and, again, nunberg, himself a lawyer, is looking at standard prosecutor practices, good practices used everyday in this country. when i practiced law it s the first thing you did. you had a discovery request, you got all the e-mails and you spent the next month or two sorting through the e-mails trying to piece things together. that s, again, as you said, boilerplate. john heilemann, though, i had somebody tell me yesterday that long te that what we saw yesterday was a guy who wasn t the sharpest tool in the shed, several of his friends said he was inebriated. and also this is a guy who well, actually fashions himself after roy cohn. in fact, uses doesn t he have
or being discreet. so many things wrong with him. the president hired him and touted his hiring and now trying to sort of rewrite history a little bit. he was not an integral member of the foreign policy leadership, certainly not, but he had a larger role than they re trying to admit now. he touted his abilities, it s on tape so it can t be denied or said that his words were twisted. do you think it s plausible that if papadopolous is this volunteer who s clearly ambitious, trying to make a name for himself in this campaign, that he would have had this information about the russians, but then kept it to himself and not told anyone in power within the campaign that could then capitalize on that information? it certainly is possible. this could have just been entirely idle bluster in a drunken meeting with a foreign diplomat. he could have been inebriated to make these wild claims early predicative. things happen like that in hindsight where we can put the
incidents, this crash that we re talking about? it has been a deadly year for the u.s. navy. there were collisions, u.s. navy destroyers in june and august that combined, resulted in the deaths of at least 17 sailers. and the u.s. navy report came to the conclusion that those collisions could have been avoided, and that there were a number of mistakes made by the crew, by the commanding officers of those vessels. more recently on the island of okinawa itself over the weekend, a u.s. marine crashed and killed a japanese local while inebriated. and that has resulted in a decision to suspend all alcohol for servicemen and women on the island of okinawa. so it s been a difficult and deadly year for the u.s. armed services in the pacific ocean this year. isha? it definitely has. ivan watson joining us there with the very latest from hong kong. ivan, appreciate it. thank you. those of you staying with cnn
they had brought in a substitute. he said he would see me at dinner later on that night. brad said he was going to belgrade about 90 miles away to pick up his friend larry moore who needed a ride. it was odd. he doesn t leave his teaching job for very much. yes, it was odd. what made it even more bizarre, brad never returned home. that s when we knew something i mean, we knew something was already wrong because brad hadn t come home, and that wasn t his nature. that wasn t the way brad brisbin was. when police interviewed larry moore, he said he met brad at the diner as planned. but he said brad was depressed and inebriated. brad told larry that he was tired of life and tired of his wife, tired of the restaurant and was going to leave. borrowed some money from him, left the restaurant.
