Now, fox news chief White House Correspondent ed henry is standing by in new york city tonight with how the Obama Administration is responding to this. Ed. Reporter sean, interesting because the white house is saying the president was informed at some point this summer by the attorney general that after six grueling years he had finally decided to step down. I think whats going to be fascinating is the timing of that decision and what it means for the nomination process for whomever is going to succeed eric holder. Because the president declined today to actually name that person. Usually when theres a personnel announcement at the white house thats this significant, they bring out who is going to replace him. Eric holder said, look, im going to stay on not through the end of the year or some other date, im going to stay on until they confirm with the senate, have the Senate Confirm a replacement. Why is that csignificant . Because with democrats essentially losing the hold, theres a r
Announcement at the white house thats this significant, they bring out who is going to replace him. Eric holder said, look, im going to stay on not through the end of the year or some other date, im going to stay on until they confirm with the senate, have the Senate Confirm a replacement. Why is that csignificant . Because with democrats essentially losing the hold, theres a rush by senator majority, harry reid, to get nominations going because he changed the rules, remember, its only 51 votes to get a no, maam nominee through. If republicans get control theyre going to change it back to the way it was 60 votes to break a filibuster and get a nomination through make it a lot harder if republicans are controlling the senate. The other thing to watch is any confirmation hearing is going to potentially open a can of worms for the president about fast and furious, potentially benghazi, the irs, name any one of organizations republicans feel have been shut down. Remember what happened when
Present proof that the experts think this call to attack is real. Deadly real. On meet the press secretary johnson said people should be vigilant, and if they see something, they should Say Something. Here he is. Im sure that security at this particular mall will be enhanced in ways visible and not visible, but it also involves public vigilance and public awareness. If you see something, Say Something has to be more than a slogan. Like, at this point youre not telling people not to go to the mall . Im not telling people to not go to the mall. I think that there needs to be an awareness, there needs to be vigilance, and, you know be careful. Obviously. Its a new phase. Were in a new phase right now, and that involves Public Participation in our efforts. So we start tonight with this call to arms right here at home from a somalibased Terror Group Al Shabab as federal officials call for increased vigilance. You just heard it. Im joined by michael kay, former british officer, and a Senior
His department of justice. And House Republicans voted this week to approve their version of a tax reform package that the American People simply do not trust. Well talk to our own ali velshi about why those fears are valid. But we start with a new disturbing report that corroborates with which we in the activist community have been screaming. Hate crimes against minorities have increased for the second consecutive year, with an additional 300 incidents reported by the fbi. The lions share of the victims, mostly africanamericans being targeted for their racial or ethnic identities. But bear in mind, that even those numbers can be considered incomplete, as Law Enforcement agencies are not required to share hate Crime Statistics with the fbi. And in 2015, 90 of them reported that no such incidents had occurred in their jurisdictions. This begs an even more troubling question. Four months after the violence we saw in charlottesville, virginia, is the threat of racial hatred actually being
