of this members of the national security team with him in meetings in the situation room. question for you, senator lieberman, do you have any thoughts about who was leaking the stories and why? i don t have any thoughts about who was leaking the stories but we ought to try to find out and that is what the investigation and the justice department ought to do. there is nothing new here about leaks in washington. this happened during the clinton, bush and earlier obama administration and bob woodru f woodruff s books for instance. the recent series of leaks are the worse in the a long time. people think there is no accountability if you leak. and we have to change that. i think we to change the law that is applied here. the last person to be convicted of a crime for leaking to the media was more than 25 years ago. we are are still using a 1917 espionage act that requires some showing of intent, a knowledge that it leak would harm the security of the united
whether mr. sandusky is not guilty or guilty. megyn: he s trying to say it suggests a weak case. putting that aside, why did this attorney, now governor, let s just call him the attorney general for our purposes, this attorney general wait so long, why didn t he at least when he got the allegations against sandusky because he says he had at least one case but he wanted to get more, so it s not like he thought it was weak but there was nothing there. he had one accuser, apparently. why wouldn t he as we saw, for example, with presidential candidate john edwards, let it leak that there was a grand jury investigation, an investigation at least, so that people would at least have a red flag on this guy, rather than, you know, parents still letting their children go out with this guy to public events or events that ultimately became private, unfortunately? well, we don t know what the exact timeline was. attorney general corbett s investigation of mr. sandusky. we don t know precisely w
now. bill: why did they feel a need to do it now, tighten up? reporter: well, the program is clearly in trouble. they needed fixing. before now, you didn t register an aircraft until you bought that aircraft and once you bought it you didn t have to reregister it leak a clike a ca ever and only had to, if they destroyed, scrapped, destroyed it, changed their address or if the owner died they were supposed to notify the faa but they were not getting enough notifications and people were not voluntarily come playing and according to the faa the number of inaccurately registered aircraft kept going up every year and there were concerns of criminals or terrorists taking advantage of it. bill: a story away never knew about, until now. rick leventhal in new jersey. martha: this story. a possible verdict is coming in the kidnapping case of elizabeth smart, abducted and raped in a terrible story that captivated the entire nation and she was only 14 at the time, and, jurors
being thrown out. he s facing, as you all know by now, 13 ethics violations and the committee that is investigating charlie rangel let it leak out they were recommending to the ethics committee. they were recommending a reprimand not kicking him out. not firing him. there s a lot worse things that could happen here, not going through with the public hearing or a trial, but there is no word yet of a deal. the ethics committee has not ruled on this, no word if republicans are willing to accept that. my assumption is, no way. it would be hard to believe that 13 ethics violations, including abuse of his office, would be met with the reprimand in this case, but he s telling lawyers that look, mitch mcconnell can something similar and the late robert byrd did something similar and there s an interesting article in the washington post, using the defense that kids use, hey, my buddy did it. but it begs so many questions, first of all, why just a reprimand. if he did the 13 things which the
we keep lists and we also connect to you on social media. you tell us what s going on, we report that as well. don t believe the smear hype. julian works for truth and transparency. he s referring, of course, to wikileaks founder. nothing more, nothing less. few honest men left. here s another opinion. politicians don t like the public knowing the truth, especially lieberman. let it leak. consider it patriot act for americans. number three. really, are you surprised by the revelations? rick, if you are naive, you would trust pakistan, but it would beizer to be skeptical of
