Issues for the benefit and safety of the american people. By grandstanding and political sizing the investigation into russias actions, james comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to negotiate with russia.

And there is a lot of support for that within the ranks of republican senators, because many of them still have a big problem with the way the High School Era accusation of dr. Christine blasey ford, and the college era accusation of deborah ramirez, were brought to their attention. Its amazing to me that these allegations come Out Of Nowhere at the last minute, and that they werent brought up earlier in this process. Its not on thetypical for our Friends On The Other Side to pull that kind of crap. Dont forget, his stripper, who escorted him throughout those meetings in the summer, is now the newest g. O. P. Senator, john kyle. He was asked if he ever picked up on a character flaw, and he said he did not. Sandra . Sandra peter, any undecided democrats hinting that they might support his confirmation .

Reporter well, alisyn we heard from the egyptian president saying a United Arab Force is needed. Its more pressing. He didnt give us too many detailsant what that would look like although the United Arab Emirates around jordan have offered assistance in their battle against isis. Libya is something for now egypt has turned down. The egyptian president also says the goal is to protect the countrys borders but added that if there were needed in other parts of the region that that could be an option with cooperation from arab brothers.

What you see is these 21 kurdish fighters, we believe most of them were captured by isis at the end of january when it attacked the city to the southeast of here. You see them clad in these bright orange jumpsuits. Their hands are chained. Theyre led to cages where theyre interviewed by a bearded man with a microphone. On that microphone is an isis logo. Among other things one of the prisoners tells him that basically he calls upon his colleagues in the peshmerga to stop fighting isis or they will suffer a similar fate. Then we see them still in their cages on the backs of pickup truck going through a town just south of kirkuk.
