I just want to salute you and your public work in uniform, military uniform as well as civilian clothes. I heard you say you were committed to protecting whistleblowers. I was wondering what your definition was. Im thinking of edward snowden. My dear brothers and sisters, chelsea manning, my dear brother jeffrey sterling. Two in jail, one outside of the country. Would you define them as whistleblowers or in a different way . Dr. West i put you on the spot too much. Very penetrating question. I appreciate your reflections. I would define whistleblowers as those individuals who come forward consistent with the statutes for the appropriate authorities with the appropriate clearances to adjudicate. Its my understanding that our government has designated mr. Snowden and before him, private manning to be not whistleblowers.

Lays out the case that Hillary Clinton has the judgment, toughness, commitment and experience, which makes her one of the most qualified candidates to ever run for office. I know how hard this job can be. Thats why i know hillary will be so good at it. In fact, i dont think there has ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.

Over the years of knowing each other, weve gone from fierce competitors to true friends. The campaign endorsed her just minutes after he sat down with Bernie Sanders. A meeting that left the idea of party unity on sanders mind. Donald trump would clearly, to my mind and i think the majority of americans, be a disaster as president of the United States. I will work as hard as i can to make sure that donald trump does not become president of the United States. Senat

People acknowledge on the matter tell nbc news that he was forced out. City hall gave us a copy of his resignation email. You can see it runs one long paragraph. Im going to read part of it and former chief of Oakland Police and he writes, i am truly honored to have worked with and led the officers over the last three years. Having made so much progress, i believe the timing is good for me to move on and to explore other opportunities. What those opportunities is or are has not yet been made clear. Under what the department did for his leadership the city of oakland has seen a 39 decrease in murders since 2013 and under chief wentds leadership, four officers were suspended for Sexual Misconduct involving an underaged woman. A federal judge was so displeased with how internal affairs was handling the investigation that he appointed an independent monitor to take over.
