But first, we now have a better idea of exactly when we will see Robert Muellers report. Attorney general william barr says he will release the redacted version within a week. He just wrapped up his first public hearing on the hill since he sent out his fourpage summary of the report. And right now a doj team is combing through his nearly 400 pages to decide what they will remove. Barr says theyre redacting four different categories, including grand jury information, information that would reveal intelligence sources and methods, information that could interfere with spinoff cases from the probe, and information that harms the privacy of what are called, quote, peripheral players. Right now, the special counsel is working with us on identifying information in the reports that fall under those four categories. We will color code the excisions from the report and we will provide explanatory notes, describing the basis for each redaction. From my standpoint, by within a week, i will be in
Doesnt add up. Why is Ralph Northam still the governor of virginia . He has given a series of increasingly incomprehensible explanations for this racist photo that was in his medical School Yearbook. According to a source, northam telling his cabinet this morning that if he goes now, hell be branded a racist for life and that he needs more time to clear his name. Because so far his attempts to do so have defied common sense. Here he is saying its not him in that picture. I believe then and now that i am not either of the people in that photo. This was not me in that picture. That was not Ralph Northam. Im telling the truth today, that was not my picture. The problem, of course, is that northam had already said that it was him. On friday, releasing a statement saying, quote, earlier today, a website published a photograph of me from my 1984 medical School Yearbook in a costume that is clearly racist and offensive. So at first it was him and then it wasnt him, in a photo that, of course,
Issued a statement in february saying that his security clearance was handled in the regular process. It now seems clear according to a whistleblower in a position to know that that statement was absolutely not true. The post reports tonight that kushners top secret clearance was granted against the recommendation of Security Officials on may 1st. It was, in fact, initialed by the trump appointee who overruled security staff on that same day. Also on may 1st, ivanka trump, the president s daughter who is married to mr. Kushner, she was also given her clearance that same day as well. And you at home should look under your chair because you get a top secret clearance too, and you get a top secret clearance and you get a top secret clearance. Everybody gets one, no matter the serious disqualifying red flags in your background checks and how many ways Actual National security screeners believe that you cant be trusted with the nations most secret information, you get one anyway. Again, the
Terrorizing the community. And a coast guard lieutenant and a selfidentified White Nationalist is now under arrest after Authorities Say they uncovered a stockpile of weapons and ammunition and a target list of prominent democrats and television hosts. The suspect reportedly writing, i am dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on earth. After nearly two years of questions about the president and russia, we might finally get some actual answers. We are being told by Law Enforcement officials and congressional officials that the report could be delivered to the attorney general any day now really, and likely within the next week. Should the Mueller Report be released while youre abroad next week . That will be totally up to the new attorney general. What do you expect i guess that is totally up to the attorney general. Any day now one of the most Important Documents in modern American History will be finished and were going to be one step closer to getting answers. Well hopef
Theyre playing politics with it from the very top to the folks who are lawmakers who can be doing something about this. Theres a lot of rhetoric going on, but not a lot of action and resolution. I agree with everything you said 100 . I wish there were actually even more rhetoric. And, you know, look, i dont just throw cynicism out there. Thats not how i am, you know that, but i have to wonder, when theres such easy picking of opportunity here, when youre someone from the Democratic Party about these people that you believe are being demonized by the president , why the hell are you so quiet . It doesnt make any sense unless you think the president s going to own this and by sitting and watching it fester, somehow thats going to benefit you. I just dont buy that kind of cynicism in leadership. Im accepting it in myself because its the only thing that seems to make sense. I get it on the right, don.
