Cnn about Administration Officials believe that the way the special counsels regulations are written yes. That it may protect the president if hes not charged if hes not charged for a crime for any negative information about him being released to the public. So we may never know. I disagree. Youre right about what youre positing, that we may never know the details in the form of the special counsels report released that way. I agree. I do not agree that the regs demand that. I think there is a measure of discretion.

Yes. A hist oorehistoric day of testimony against the public. And the desperate republican attempts to shut it down. Im responsible for your silliness because i it did the same thing youre doing now.

Scheme to buy the silence of stormy daniels. Provides copies of two checks used to reimburse him. One was co signed by donald trump jr. And the cfo of the trump organization. The other was signed by trump himself, months after hed already become president. Heres cohen on those revelations today. The president of the United States this wrote a personal check for the payment of hush money as part of a criminal scheme to violate Campaign Finance laws.

going to traud out a lin patten. these kinds of stereo typical things that they think that s what black america is to prove they it don t have racial biases, it s ugnerrant. and the reaction to it shows that. doesn t have any racial consciousness. that s not a republican problem. no, it s not, actually. we started out talking about ralph northam and tied up referring to the state delegate from maryland. and i think it s not a partisan issue. you re right. this country has a very large blind spot when it comes to issues of ros. there aren t toomany black people that there quote unquote disappointed. we understand that all kin folk ain t your kin folk.
