attorney rudy giuliani has made the perfect phone call excuse. now they want to make him responsible for having taken classified documents and preserved them. really if you look at the espionage act, it s not really about taking the documents, it s about destroying them or hiding them or giving them to the enemy. right. it s not about taking them and putting them in a places that roughly as safe as they were in in the first place. taking classified documented, some marked classified sci is as unsafe as keeping them in the national archives and west wing. the espionage act actually does refer specifically to willfully retaining documents and failing to deliver them on demand to the federal employee or officer entitled to receive them. as we said, this perfect phone call excuse has come after an evolution of excuses made by the former president s supporters for having the files stashed at a country club. here s his youngest song the evening after the search. my father

student loan could cost over ten years. the white house is struggling to answer who is exactly paying the tab for the millions of college students off the hook. john: you don t have todd s number on speed dial, john? i ll pass it off to you. sandra smith in new york. biden administration sticking to their line of defense that the plan is fully paid for, even comparing the handouts to covid loans, even though the pandemic assistance was intended to be foregiven. john: biden facing backlash with a growing number of democrats distancing themselves from the controversial hands outs. i think a targeted an i approach right now, people making 30, $40,000, didn t go to college, they need help as well. it does not help people who have already paid off their college debt. a band aid step, a point in time step. not yet contending with the root issue, which is the affordability crisis of higher education in our country. sandra: or bipartisan political panel is on set and read
