integrity. but behind the scenes you get a sense there is a bit more frustration creeping in. i just had a briefing from a government official here in the ukraine with knowledge of the call and he has spoken to me and said, look. you know, president biden did spell out all of the very tough sanctions that would be imposed on russia if it were to invade ukraine. but president zelensky wasn t less than impressed by that and said that he didn t believe that prospective sanctions would have the deterrent effect president biden thought it might have on president putin because he thinks russia would already have factored that in. what ukraine wants to see is up front sanctions perhaps with a delayed implementation that could be rolled back if in the words of this official russia behaves itself. apparently a month ago there were a lot of requests made by the ukrainian defense ministry of the united states for lethal weapons to help it prosecutor its war in the east to fight off a potential ru
that? he told three or four people that. i moved out of my house and moved into a hotel that had security. reporter: keith wasn t the only one who was nervous. i got to the point where i became convinced that this guy cortez killed these people in order to steal their property. that s when i said i m going to the authorities. he encouraged keith to do the same. he said you need to come to panama city and get to it prosecutor and doj and turn up the heat. keith went to panama city and laid out the case against wild bill to the dij the panamanian fbi. from that point on, kudos to the panamanian police, they just stepped it up. but for all the suspicion, there was still no hard evidence of a crime. that s when don winner got an idea. he d heard a lot of stories about wild bill and his ak-47 how he d even fire it off sometimes to impress his friends. but in panama, it s illegal for a civilian to own that type of weapon. so don made a suggestion to
house intelligence committee, the same committee now leading the impeachment inquiry. prosecutors argued that roger stone lied to congress, quote, because the truth looked bad for the trump campaign, and the truth looked bad for donald trump. prosecutors say hundreds of text messages, calls and e-mails show roger stone repeatedly tried to contact the founder of wikileaks and that he discussed those efforts with senior members of the trump campaign. joining us now is nbc news intelligence and national security reporter ken dilanian who was one of the lucky ones in the courtroom today. ken, it was really rachel, read much of the transcript including just the very beginning of it prosecutor s opening statement, and it seemed like a very dramatic presentation in that courtroom today. it was, lawrence. in some ways i felt i was listening to the unwritten final chapter of the mueller report because here you had this
think about that, a joyful atmosphere there, george, that was shattered by this suicide bomber. the afghan president tweeting out just a few minutes ago that this is a day of mourning here. and for good reason. when you look at thesives and you see what was supposed to be a celebration, a gathering of family and friends, instead it s the aftermath. it s tables that were decorated left empty, meals left uneaten. the latest numbers, 63 dead, more than 180 wounded. women and children as you mentioned among those who were injured and killed. all of that coming from the interior ministry. and it comes as there s hope for peace in that area. yet, it seems hope is seemingly far off and farther when have you attacks like this. when we go to the ground there and we see some of the ins and hear from some of the witnesses it prosecutor brings home the pain they re feeling there. i want you to hear from one of the residents nearby.
we ll see part of that, then would you consider going back in with rule 35 and seeking a reduction. but it goes both ways. there s one common sense read, look, his incentive is to tell the truth. if he gets caught in a lie now, not only is he not getting to charge rule 35, he s getting charged again. but what prosecutors say all the time, they just want to please the prosecutor, you know who he needs to make this happy? t prosecutor. ellie hie honig, jim sciutto. you re both up on new day. testimony begins the 10:00 a.m. early start back in just a moment. my experience with usaa
