is this is about that political discourse. now you have michael graham arc republican running for congress in new york. he was actually asked about those the audio that we ve heard in the last 24 to 48 hours, the kids the cries, the kids being separated from their parents. this is what he said. you know what it sounds like to me, exactly the same time i go to a gym and they have a day cared and some of the kids cry when the parents leave them in the day care. it sounds exactly the same to me. day care. border crisis, where is the civility? well, first of all, i m not going to defend corey lewandowski s exchange yesterday. i don t really think it s defensible. i doty there is broader i do think there is a broader question. are you going to enfwors the law with everything that entails or aren t you? so now the president is going to
exchange yesterday. how much of this was that they wanted a win? you ve got a distracting week coming up as it relates to comey, you ve got a tough week as it relates on capitol hill in terms of health care and budget and taxes. how much of this was they just wanted a win, and steve bannon, his crowd, said, hey, this is something we can get a couple of days out of? i think that s exactly what it was. and the fact they did this in the rose garden, a place usually reserved for the biggest announcements, the biggest celebrations. they wanted something that the base could rally around. and we re seeing that today. there s a pro-trump rally going on, a pittsburgh not paris rally today in support of the president on this. leland: you know, we ve seen that, definitely, the base come out in support. we ve also seen a lot of folks who are going to be helped by this come out and support it as well. jenna, appreciate your insights. thanks so much. of course. thank you for having me. leland: l
through that. he didn t want to fall into the elizabeth warren category of clearly accusing someone in a way that could draw some negative reaction from the senate leadership. his exchange yesterday was remarkable. well, he thought you meant this. he digit think i meant that. so the reality is they d love to have sessions come back in so they can poke him with a stick and make him relive the whole thing and draw up damaging admissions. that s not going to happen clearly so al franken is now stuck in the position of having to plead with the leadership for something that they re not going to give him and also sort of point out that, you know, there s still this open question about what was he getting at when he volunteered? it wasn t some slide cross examination. he just asked him he said look if you find any issues of russian meddling from the campaign, are you going to look into it? and then we have sessions sort of just kind of offer that yes i
they say, and i m quoting here, they have substantial reason to believe that he committed a series of ethics violations, which they didn t name, but we have some sense over the last several months what he is being investigated for. first of all, failing to report income from a villa that he owns in the dominican republic. number two. leasing four rent-controlled apartments in harlem. you re not supposed to have four rent-controlled parmtsz. if you can get one, it s supposed to be for your primary residence, and allegedly using his position to benefit a benefit factor of the charles rangel center for public service in new york. now, from the beginning, you heard him here, he was less definite about it, but from the beginning, he has said that he s not guilty. he has predicted that he ll be vindicated. he insists that he can t wait for the facts to come out. but in exchange yesterday, with msnbc s luke russert, his strains started to show. he just mentioned that exchanges at the beginnin
what was the context of is that exchange yesterday, jeanne? he was engaged in a very animated debate over where to try terror detainees. as you know, there s a lot of congressional opposition to using civilian courts, but the attorney general wants the government to have the option of using either venue. pushed back very hard and told the committee detainees would not be coddled in supreme court and texas republican said that reflected a propound disconnect to the american people and led to this exchange. they are treated by the military as enemy combatants captured at time of war. they are not put against the wall and shot. they have the rights and many the same constitutional rights severely restricted rights and the military tribunal is the problem.
