If youre a Foreign National and youre volunteering on a campaign, you cant throw in 10 for a pizza. Surely theres some liability for mr. Trump junior and the fact that they actually didnt get good dirt does not mean that he didnt solicit it. Weve all had somebody ring the doorbell and say buy candy.

Former GOP representative Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski interview newsmakers, politicians and pundits about the issues of the day. Was obvious the meeting was to get information from foreign nationals which is a crime. Lawyers running around collusion is not a crime. Anybody knows a low he ranking congressman like i was in my first year understood you cant get an in kind contribution from mullahs in iran or Vladimir Putin in russia. Thats right, joe. The president is concerned. Hes anxious, fearful about where this is all headed. His legal team is focused on that Trump Tower Meeting as they have been for some time. Thats a key moment in the mueller investigation. Our reporting, despite what the president tweeted in response to it very much is that hes worried about don junior, expressed that worry to people hes been talking to on the phone, privately brouting about this.

S. Senators will decide whether or not he should be convicted and removed from his post. I mean, that is how this is going to look from a a wideangle lens in history. This is how were starting year four of the trump presidency. Thats the wideangle lens. If you look through the narrow lens of this particular news cycle, its a little bit crazy, at least remarkable, that it wasnt until after the close of business tonight, it wasnt until roughly 6 00 eastern time tonight, the night before the trial is due to start that the Republican Leadership of the Senate Finally released their proposed rules for how the trials going to be conducted.

Men and women here, cases pending in the department and about judges before whom we have cases make it impossible for me to do my job.
