of the constitution all over this current supreme court. all three were nominated by president trump who promised that he would bring in conservative jurists. but at that point, the president could never have known that in one term he would have the opportunity to change the face of that court so dramatically. marc thiessen wrote this today. whatever else history says about trump, he secured his place as the most consequential president when it comes to the supreme court. today in reaction to this enormous seat change decision, nancy pelosi slamming the justices as right wing politicians a label that jonathan turley took deep offense too. a woman s fundamental health decisions are her own to make with consultation with her doctor, her faith, her family. not some right-wing politicians that donald trump and mitch mcconnell packed the court with. with that, we bring in ari fleischer, civil rights attorney and leo terrell and democratic strategist, jessica tarlov. let s st
He then added this. Based on the fact that no president has been tougher on russia than me, they will be pushing very hard for the democrats. They definitely dont want trump. They didnt dont want trump, he said. Even though last week russias president admitted he did favor mr. Trump, at least in the last election, which is what Intelligence Agencies had been saying for a long time, but putin finallied a mid it. President putin, did you want President Trump to win the election . And did you direct any of your officials to help him do that . Translator yes, i did, because he talked about bringing the u. S. russia relationship back to normal. Now President Trump says the russians actually dont like him, despite what President Putin just said. Which is weird because not only did truputin say he liked trump the last election, but because of that Helsinki Summit, Relation Ares with russia had suddenly changed in matter of hours. He said that. It was recorded. Everyone heard that. Lets play i

Another, oh, 20 yards down field. Which, i dont even know if thats a crime, colluding about russians. Keeping them honest, its not. That much is true, and thats all. There is no anticolluding with russians act anywhere on the United States code. But there is plenty about Campaign Conspiracy and finance abuses not to mention obstruction of justice. Not to mention most would agree, its just wrong to be scheming with a hostile power. Its a touchy subject, as you might imagine. Because of that, its not the first time theyve felt compelled to describe their transgressions downward. Just after the election, Campaign Spokesperson hope hicks said, quote, there was no communication between the campaign and any foreign entity during the campaign. It never happened, she said. Three months later, never became to
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. This from cohen. He has been lying all week. He has been lying for years. Reporter lying for years, he says, which is strange because that means Michael Cohen must have been no less a liar when Rudy Giuliani was praising him for not being liar. So was mr. Giuliani lying in that clip you just heard, or lying in this one from just a couple of months ago . The man is an honest, honorable lawyer. It all becomes clear right now. Its confusing, to say the least. The honest honorable lawyer has also been deeply dishonest for years, or at least this week. Maybe its like truthful hyperbole or something. Or maybe like so much else these days is yet another thing that would be funny if it werent so serious. After all, the assertion by Michael Cohen if true casts serious down on the president s longtime claims of no collusion with russia.

In the days after the president ial election Donald Trumps advisers had a message about contacts between russians and members of the campaign team. In the ensuing months as numerous such communications were revealed the message changed. There was no collusion with russias effort to disrupt the election. On monday President Trumps lawyer Rudy Giuliani presented a third line of defense, even if mr. Trump did collude with the russians he committed no crime. My client didnt do it. Even if he did it it is not a
crime. Hacking is the crime. The president didnt hack. He didnt pay for the hacking he said on cnn. The article goes on. It is just a word choice, said a Criminal Law Professor at georgetown. Im s
