how do you think this moment would be marked in this long chapter of american drone strikes in afghanistan and elsewhere. in the same briefing you heard the american military talk about other drone strikes taking place they defended and said were justified and then the last statement there, john kirby said they wouldn t investigate the one that took place in kandahar. yeah. as you mention, afghans have already known that this killed civilians, the evening newscasts that i have been watching, that they watch there, the parents, mothers, wives of these civilians who were killed were interviewed. the mother talking about seeing the body parts of her toddler when she stepped outside of her house. this is something that the afghans have dealt with for many years now. drone strikes have killed civilian after civilian. yes, it killed militants as well. but unfortunately a lot of civilians have been killed through this method.
not to read anything. not to look at anything. but given the heavy media attention on this trial, it s hard to imagine that jurors can go through their life living in a bubble where they wouldn t see anything about this case. so, yeah, it s a legitimate concern. but it s not going to happen now, i can promise you that. you know, in the old days when these instructions were first formulated, we didn t have social media, phones, devices, where, you know, there were three evening newscasts. that was it. you could not watch those newscasts. now it s almost impossible, too void a headline here or there. what about the fact they re still deliberating? does that indicate diligence going through all these documents or does that indicate there would be trouble for the prosecution or none of the above? well, this is the prosecutor and defense lawyer s least favorite parlor game is to try to parse out what the jury is actually thinking. we re now into day three, as you pointed out, about half

incredibly slow. at this point, doj others that stop with the glacial performance and know the american people want to know what is going on. speed it up already. get the answers out there. he decided, sol, not to ask a question but to take his time to make sure he got quoted and the sound bite was used on most evening newscasts and cable and all over media, social media today, get this thing wrapped up what is taking so long! give us the documents. and then there was a moment when jordan was pressing another matter about peter struck. i want to play it and have sol s reaction. let s watch. why d you tell peter struck nott to answer our questions yesterday? when i asked when i asked peter struck if he d ever communicated with glen simpson, he gave us the answer he gave us dozens of times. on advice of f.b.i. council, i can t answer that question. why couldn t he answer that question? i appreciate your sincere
coverage. cnn, abc, nbc, according to a study, this is where we get serious, between march the seventh of march 25th, the evening newscasts from just nbc, abc, cbs, they dedicated a whopping 40 minutes of airtime to trump allegations of a consensualll relationship. for decades, the mainstream media has completely ignored serious stories of abuse, juanita broaddrick, paula jones, all women that accused a former president, bill clinton, of serial predator misconduct. and thehe media research center crunch those numbers. according to their account, 1994 when paula jones came forward with details about bill clinton dropping his pants and exposing himself to her in hotel room, cbs and nbc actually ignore the story. abc, to their credit, gave a whopping 16 seconds of coverage. in 1997, when the allegations
