Thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. If it is, you know, late on a friday night in the late stages of the donald Trump Administration, then, yes, you guessed it. Weve just had a new adventure in the decline and fall of the rule of law. One of the things that has happened tonight, which actually has been squoze out of the headlines a little bit because of all the dramatic things that have happened in the last few hours, is that the president s attorney general has just ousted another federal prosecutor whose office was handling sensitive criminal cases related to the president. This time tonight its the u. S. Attorney in the Eastern District of new york. Now, if you are the president , and you and your campaign and your inaugural committee and your donors and your lawyers and your Campaign Staff and your longtime friends and associates keep finding themselves accused of felonies or at least targeted or involved in serious criminal investigations, then if youre the president ,
We havent been recognized for what weve done. The numbers tell a different story, though. The United States has more than 5. 6 million coronavirus cases and is approaching 176,000 confirmed deaths. White house is also responding to joe bidens acceptance speech. Which blasted the administration for its downplaying of the pandemic. The president keeps telling us the virus is going to disappear, he keeps waiting for a miracle. Well, i have news for him no miracle is coming. Vice president mike pence said this morning that he does believe a miracle is coming, but when asked about making similar predictions in the past like saying for example fears over a spike in cases were overblown just as cases skyrocketed in june, the Vice President blamed the scientists and not the early aggressive reopening that President Trump encourage zmrd most of our scientists believed that we were we were well on our way toward lowering cases and that perhaps the coronavirus like the flu would be seasonal and t

Interviews with political figures and news updates. Interviews with political figures and news updates. Able to sell the shares. They have telephone logs, who called whom and when. It appears they have people helping the government out with the testimony. As mimi said, andrea, its kind of overwhelming evidence thats difficult for federal prosecutors to ignore. And chuck todd, weve not yet seen to my knowledge a tweet from the president or any suggestion that this is witch hunt, mueller related.
