Im waiting for him to ask for a cut of his income. Proving that an attack on one is an attack on all, members of the u. S. Intelligence community including 13 former intel chiefs, most of whom have served under democratic and republican president s rebuked trumps broadside against brennan in a rare statement. Writing, quote, we have never before seen the approval or removal of political clearances as was done in this case. Beyond that this action is quite clearly a signal to other former and current officials. As individuals who have cherished and helped preserve the right of americans to free speech, even when that right has been used to criticize us, that signal is inappropriate and deeply regrettable. In explaining the swell of concern about Donald Trumps conduct from former officials of all political persuasions, one of the signatories told me today, quote, you simply cant do this. The Intelligence Community doesnt function like this. Speaking today to a source familiar with then c
Breaking. I was really glad to see people on both sides of the aisle condemning what happened yesterday strongly. And stranger things. Barack obama with a big reference to the explosive events in finland, about the times were living in. And they are strange. And they are uncertain. Each days news cycles bringing more headspinning and disturbing headlines. Good day, im Chris Jansing for Andrea Mitchell who is on her way back from hills. An unprecedented level of condemnation for President Trump, including by normally reliable defenders. His stunning defense of Vladimir Putin in finland causing a ruckus, after suggesting all his critics are wrong. While i had a great meeting with nato, raising vast amounts of money, i had an even better meeting with Vladimir Putin of russia. Sadly, it is not being reported that way. The fake news is going crazy. Well, today new reports in the New York Times that the president was in a very bad mood on the way home on air force one. And in the last 90 min
Forward of Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape her in mon montgomery county, maryland. Her lawyer needsed to respond t them by 10 00 this evening. Those republicans would plan to go ahead with the vote and without hearing from dr. Ford at all, they would schedule a kavanaugh nomination. Dr. Ford responded to the you will ultimatum. Republicans in the senate had initially demanded that dr. Ford had to appear before them to testify on monday or bust. That was the only chance theyre going to give her to give testimonies to this systcommitt. They have no budge. Theyre saying when she can testify instead of monday. Thats all theyre willing to give her either in terms of time or the chance to prover this very serious allegations shes making. When dr. Ford came forward, both in her initial letter to die san Feinstein Office and the interview she did with the Washington Post last week, a key part of the story she brought forward, a key part that she had to tell was she had essentially corroborat
Because i like taking on voices like that. Ive never respected him. Ive never had a lot of respect waiting to ask for a cut of his income. An attack on one is an attack on all. Members of the u. S.

Antiwomen. Odds are, it will be a circus, but a hearing is set and democrats and republicans are now fighting over the witness list with democrats eager to hear from kavanaughs friend, mark judge, who professor ford claims was in the room at the time of the alleged assault. Republican Chuck Grassley is working to limit testimony. The stakes couldnt be higher for the Senate Judiciary committee on both sides of the aisle. Anita hill weighed in today in an opped in the New York Times. Writing, the job of the Senate Judiciary committee is to serve as fact finders to better serve the American Public and the weight of the government should not be used to destroy the lives of witnesses who are called to testify. And within the last hour, donald trump voiced support for a hearing on fords accusation and repeatedly expressed sympathy for the judge. I feel so badly for him that hes going through this, to be honest with you. I feel so badly for him. This is not a man that deserves this. This shou
