sometimes. and he basically, i think, repeated the claim about what he admitted last year basically that, yeah, this is a political op po meeting. it s totally legal. then added he didn t know anything about it. michael cohen told us weeks ago he is willing to tell special counsel mueller that actually donald trump the candidate knew about the meeting in advance. if that s true, then that means that don jr. lied to congress and more legally exposed by that information. so i think the president is trying to get out there just tweeting about this out of the blue on the weekend to insist that he didn t know and therefore don jr. didn t lie to congress. we know an extraordinary amount now about what happened and that is problematic for the president just based on what he has written on twitter and don jr. has said in interviews and what their lawyers said. don jr. admits he wanted the bait. it was a bait and switch. i went after the bait which was
there was a secret meeting remote island off the coast of africa just before trump s inauguration. at that meeting, erik prince, the founder of the private security company blackwater and a russian official close to president putin. the seychelles meeting was part of an effort to establish a back channel to russia that the meeting that erik prince had with the russian banker was not happenstance is obviously at odds with what we heard in the testimony before the house intelligence committee. sandra: it turns out that may not be the whole story. lee land vittert is live in washington with exclusive breaking news tonight. lee land? good evening, sandra. talked to erik prince a couple of times today. he tells me, he quote never ever represented himself as a member of the trump transition. didn t set up a back channel. didn t lie to congress and adam schiff just has his feelings hurt. plus, as you might remember, he testified about this meeting a couple of months ago, prince is a tru
language which i think should be the case on both sides of the aisle here. i think something has got to be done. sandra: anything about this surprise you, lisa. no. it doesn t surprise me. the women s march has been associated with individuals that are part of the fringe element of society. people like linda sarsour who has been connected to known terrorists. i think it s unsurprising that again they re embracing an individual that is part of the fringe element of society. i think the bigger issue here is the fact that the left has been largely silent. have you representatives like danny davis who has tried to essentially defend this individual who has said that hitler was a very good man. it should be pretty easy to condemn that sort of rhetoric. it also represents the gross standard of the media. how many times did president trump and republicans have to denounce david duke, someone that they had no association with and then have you president obama, when he was a senator photogr
america crowd as rand paul and other heros ? i agree with peter king. i don t think rand paul should have compared clapper to snowden. edward snowden didn t lie to congress. as i said clapper and hayden should stand trial for their crimes. i am okay with edward snowden standing up for his crimes, but michael hayden, the warrant less wiretapping to president bush and lied to congress. clapper lied to congress and they both should stand trial for that. i completely agree that rand paul is being opportune nistic. it trivializes everything. he would have much more credibility if he did this in a different way. it is literally what you
. paul: time for hits and misses as the week. collin first to you? paul, this is hit to houston, texas which has proven to be a job creating place. houston was the first top metro areas to get all the swrox they lost back recession and now they got back 230% compared to 49% in chicago. the reason it s business friendly policies. i think other cities could take pointers from houston. several members of congress recently sent a letter. the owner of the washington redskins urging change the team name they find derogatory. doesn t congress have better things to do, but after a minute, maybe i wanted them spending on this, steroids and baseball
