I thought before we dug into some of the decisions, that we could talk about the court itself. Since 2005, the then considerable turnover with justices. I was one if you could give us a thumbnail sketch of the new one. Sure. Obviously, the first one who we talk about as adequate as chief Justice Roberts, who was appointed by president george w. Bush. He was initially nominated to replace sandra day oconnor. While that nomination was pending the chief justice passed away and roberts was renominated for the rehnquist position. And that meant there had to be new nominees for the oconnor position, and samuel alito was nominated for that. They essentially arrived at the court at the same time to think that maybe in a month of overl overlap. And theyre both quite conservative coming out of the reaganbush era justice departments, and then later justices stevens and souter retired, and they were replaced by Justice Sotomayor, president obama appointed her the first hispanic american on the Sup

A look at the days top news and headlines. Much time he is agreeing to serve but we know that he was facing multiple possible charges for bank fraud, tax fraud and a Campaign Finance violations. That is the other big question here, dana, will he as part of his deal agree to testify and we dont know that part of it yet. Theres a possibility that this guilty plea has nothing to do with the mueller probe. Dana and forgive me for reading off of my phone but i i got an email from a source, former federal prosecutor saying, if the rumors are true and is cooperating, i dont understand how the scope of the Mueller Investigation has any limits. They farmed his case to their friends and that Southern District of new york and suddenly hes cooperating. We dont know if hes actually
cooperating. The plea deal could have nothing to do with that, maybe its for Something Else we know. And they secured a lot of loans, and using 32 taxing medallions as collateral. Those diamonds were earning more than a

Court documents say wright was destroying evidence to help cover up a plot by osama raheem to potentially kill cops in massachusetts and behead someone else in a different state.

Though others say the video is mostly inconclusive on the lurching. Lets get
Including the president , who said hey, you know, nothing here. Lets try to shut this down. I dont think there is anybody that is following this story now in light of at admission of guilt coming from a senior trump official this time the National Security adviser that we dont owe the American Public to follow through on this investigation until we get all the facts on out. Didpreviously tell you about the conversation . The focus is doing the investigation in a way that we get access to all the witnesses. We are going to do that p. And again, i was proud of cof w the chairman said in the New York Times story that he acknowledged that he needed to stay away from the white house. But what is the real issue here is you have this repeated pattern of the president of the United States who is trying desperately to stop this investigation. Cost jim comey his job because he wouldnt stop the investigation. He intervened with senators. He intervened with her oother intelligence officials. I thi
