Good evening, everybody. President obama today announced a few changes, minimal changes to some aspects of the nsa surveillance programs while he spoke at the Justice Department. Programs that his aides claim he knew nothing about and tell Edward Snowden told the world. Former senior obama adviser selling the New York Times that president obama was surprised at what he revealed. Things seemed to have grown at the nsa. I think it was disturbing to most people, and i think he found it disturbing. The president followed a similar scripts her upon being faced with significant an embarrassing failure previously. He knew nothing about any of it. You recall the pattern. Hhs secretary plan the president had no knowledge until the side launched on october 1st and then immediately crashed and crashed badly. She plans no one told the president about the numerous failed test runs, including a failed test just two weeks before launch. President obama landreau last year that he did not know the irs
Who. They are keeping iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. I continue to believe diplomacy is the best way to achieve this outcome. Diplomacy will not stop them. The only thing that will stop around is knowing that if they continue to develop their nuclear program, the free world will use force. Reporter the president agreed to that, should diplomacy fail. Biden hopes iran will rejoin the nuclear deal but said he wont wait forever and he hopes to get saudi arabia on board during his visit tomorrow. Also to encourage more Oil Production under pressure at home to bring down gas prices. The president branding the kingdom a pariah for Human Rights Violations including the murder of a washington journalist. They have been absolutely, positively clear with my views. Many are concerned about the u. S. President appearing hat in hand before an autocrat. Who is it going to be in 2024 . Could it be the return of former president , donald trump. He said hes made up his mind about running for ele
So, you know, what will the emails show about discussions that he may have had with his son and other people about contacts with russia. Professor even if the president was informed, at some point, you know, before or shortly after the meeting, does that from a legal standpoint matter . Well, it can matter, you know i have a column on this in the hill in the morning, about what a 1001 investigation means. And the most important thing from the defense side is to maintain the one thing thats alluded the trump white house. That is the consistent, coherent narrative. Where you get into trouble with 1001 is when you have all these conflicting accounts. It broadens the investigation, it undermines other parties, including in this case, your own son. So this could be very damaging in terms of the scope of the investigation and adding more questions for your son, whos or your soninlaw in this case, whos fast becoming a target. Richard, can you explain just what kind of teeth federal ethics off
Well, yes. Youve got to have a bar somewhat higher that be what do you do to keep your clients out of jail. And were spending a lot of time in the past couple of days in particular, talking about various criminal statutes and which you would charge under and which you wouldnt, whether you meet the burden of proof. And this is respect to very highranking people in an administration only six months into the administration. I personally cant believe that donald trump, when he was a candidate, wouldnt be aware if his soninlaw, his son, and Paul Manafort, all three, were meeting with a russian lawyer who was told they were told an agent of the russian government, that he would be unaware of that. Of course, he says hes unaware of that. He says a lot of things, but ill believe that when i believe president obama was born in kenya. Ive heard so much nonsense coming out of the white house, including the president the other bigger thick that they learned in that email or whether they learned it
It was nighttime. Flipped on the light. Roaches. And they ran for the corners. And i got out of that contract, and i did not move into that apartment. But my friend never wanted to go anywhere to eat dinner with me again. And i learned about that old anecdote that, you know, you flip on the lights and stuff scatters. That works in the news too. And we keep seeing that dynamic again and again of people flipping on the switch and the bugs scattering. And in todays news, it has it has really become one of the most interesting things that has happened yet in this whole scandal. Ill tell you about how the dynamic has been working. Two or three weeks ago we had this startling revelation in the New York Times that related to one of the people who is a cooperating in the special counsels investigation. Hes actually the only person we know of who has been granted immunity in exchange for his cooperation with Robert Mueller and the special counsels office his name is george nader. He has multipl
