the priority for me would be to make sure that we have physical infrastructure for our border patrol but also the cameras and technology they need, but here s the important part, fix the floors and asylum decisions and undermine the cartels. get after it. argue about the rules, but none of this is about the wall. the president has hyperfocused you guys on physical barriers and i know you wouldn t have done that. no savvy politician would have started with, i m all in on a wall or forget it, i won t negotiate. that s his politics. i don t know how you get a better deal. would you rather have him call a national emergency? have him go executive action and have to pick from this list of priorities? but if he does executive action you have to pick winners and losers. do you take it from counter narcotics, military construction? natural disaster repair? do you want to pick losers for a barrier that s not the main priority.
us who have been involved in life and death encounters, everything gets clouded, the chaos, the fog of wars, we say, and for a young girl to give a description, i think that s entirely within the realm of possibility. and that s why, as i stated up front, police have to be very, very careful to make sure they follow all the evidence and not get hyperfocused on one piece. and james, you think it might jeopardize the case or jeopardize any other potential arrests if the sheriff were to go deabout what information there is after receiving this tip about the identity of the man they arrested, and how they were able to corroborate that and how that was in sync with placing that individual at the scene of the crime. witness pool or a potential jury pool? if you put information out there that s not needed to track
the attorney to ask questions. and already would have been background checks and the president tweeting this would now be the seventh one. how might this differ from a typical background check that goes back to, say, age 18, but now we re talking about allegations when he was 17 years old? break this down. fbi agents are going to put together 302s, which are testimonial documents. they re going to interview all the folks that we all know are attached to ms. ford s claims as well now as ms. ramirez claims. i understand people are argues limited in scope. political motivations, people coming out of the woodwork. fred, i think we ll hear the term moving the goal post through next week. the fbi will be hyperfocused on ms. ford s testimony and also ms. ramirez. uncover and turn over every stone, but remember, fbi acts
sexual assault accusations from three decades ago. the senate will wait to vote on his nomination to the supreme court. with me a cnn legal analyst and a former federal prosecutor and cnn legal enforcement, law enforcement analyst, a retired fbi super prizery special agent. mouth full. hello to both of you. how are you? i m good thank you. walk us through what the fbi acts are tanked with. mocking on doors, making phone calls? how do they go about this? the washington post is just reporting now that ms. ramirez has been contacted and i anticipate. deborah ramirez. yes. i anticipated that was going to happen. before the president made the decision, hey, the fbi should get involved, before senator flake made his dramatic position yesterday and shook up things. i can tell you senior executives
also insight. how can they care about the college writings of this guy, but not the writings when he was working for ken starr of nominee kavanaugh? it s going to come back to them. that s why it should be on your radar. then there s this, by now you ve heard the name, maria butina. she s the alleged russian spy now indicted on conspiracy charges. her name apparently was not new to the white house intelligence committee. the ranking democrat, adam schiff, tells cnn, democrats tried to question butina earlier this year, but he says the republican majority shut their efforts down because they were worried about tarnishing the nra or president trump. now, if that s true, that needs to be explored much further and we are on it. if no other reason than list of allegations against butina reads like a plot from an international crime thriller. we re going to stay on those. so should you. let s bring in don lemon, talk about what he has coming up on the show. i m trying that. we get hyperfoc
