and do you follow the rest of this story that this could mean very bad things for roger stone? yes, brian, i do agree with that inference that people seem to be drawing from this, under the rules of evidence you need to get the best or original document. you can t you know, to charge someone to put into court. and obviously they would want to have that just to make sure that the copies that they ve been looking at are accurate. but more importantly, under the rules of evidence you need to have the orange the documents eventually in court. i think it is not a question if roger stone is going to be charged but when and this seems to make it more imminent and what he will be charged with. this seems to indicate he will be charged with some kind of false statements relating to his testimony in congress. but i suspect he will also be charged with other things. so i think that s really sort of the hanging question out there, is he going to be charged with some kind of not collusion but c
some type of covert war going on in africa or there is some type of coverup. i am a bit surprised. we have been doing these types of missions all over the world and certainly all over africa. and in this case in niger, for over 20 years. we have been there quite a long time. steve: sure, and colonel, one of the things he gave the time line as best they know it but the big hanging question really was why did the guys who found themselves surrounded by 50 attackers, why did they waited one hour before they called for air support and back up? that is a great question. that certainly jumped out in my mind. the investigation still has to figure it out. i will tell you anyone who has been in combat knows it doesn t always start the way it looks in the movies. sometimes it s just you hear a shot off in the distance and you call that up and that s kind of starts the clock on when contact started. sometimes insurgents are known to do this, terrorists are known to bait people into ambushes whe
obviously was linger gone by this february and remember, again, last tuesday she said at the news conference that even though she was using a personal account she believed that as she was sending emails to staffers who had official state department accounts they were being in her words automatically archived and kept. we now hearing from jen psaki that s not true. remember another key point which is that document i asked her about today as she was on her way into an event here in new york city whether or not she signed that departure document. showing accounting for all the records that she had and she was supposed to turn over to the department. she didn t answer. maybe she will answer at future news conference or something like that. that is still a hanging question he that has been looming out there as to whether or not she signed a document where you are swearing under the penalty of perjury as you know greta, that you are accounting for all the records. in this case obviously we k
increase. as with all things congressional, it remains a hanging question as to whether anything will actually be done on this issue. i want to ask your thoughts in terms of what is called a discharge petition. the lanes are so narrow that we must talk about these strange devices about what legislation can get passed. the idea is a discharge petition would need the support of 18 republicans, the majority of the house, and it could force a vote by simple majority on raising the minimum wage. in this particular congress, it seems unlike that house republicans will do anything to support house democrats on this issue. do you think that that could be useful in terms of showing the country where each party sits on
reporter: it is massive. a wells fargo tobacco industry analyst just came out and said that they are estimating that the market this year alone in the united states for e-cigarettes, $1.8 billion. even more surprising is their expectation that this market for electronic cigarettes is going to surpass the market for traditional smoke cigarettes in the next decade. if that happens, i think that will be astounding. what we don t know yet is what the fda is going to do. they have said that they could come out as early as this month, so that would mean in the next two days, with a proposed rule to regulate e-cigarettes. that could change the entire game and on top of that, there is still this big hanging question, is nicotine alone really safe to inhale. some studies say yes but more recent studies like one out of brown last week says not so fast. there are a lot of questions here and mayor bloomberg and new york city getting out in front
