Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Of the house judiciary committee. Congressman, let me start with you. Do you think Michael Cohen is credible . I do. And if Michael Cohen is telling the truth, it means theres at least three felonies in what hes about to say. First, donald trump conspired with a foreign power to influence the election. Second, donald trump went ahead and lied about the meeting, which could be potential obstruction of justice. And third, trump junior lied to congress when he said his father did not know about this meeting. Were way beyond not normalizing what shouldnt be normalized. These are potential criminal felonies. Thats why the Robert Mueller investigation needs to proceed without any more political interference. You know, there was always a striking thing that happened on the house side, the House Intelligence Committee in your investigation into these matters, which it sort of said, well, we wrapped up and found n
News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. When the public trial for the drug was about to be announced as a failure. Want to read a little from the complaint. Mis 416 had the potential to be an enormously profitable if the drug trial was successful. The drug, however, failed the drug trial. Public announcement of these results caused the stock price to drop by 92 . In or about june of 2017, Christopher Collins violated the duties he owed to innate by Passing Material Nonpublic information regarding the Drug Trial Results to his son the defendant so that Cameron Collins could use that information to make timely trades in innate stock and tip others. In detail, it was stunning from the actual complaint itself, those phone calls or the initial ones from the congressman to his sn, they took place on the grounds of the white house, during the white house congressional picnic.

to run for congress are thinking maybe this is not my year and so in a tough time where you have a lot of republicans who are retiring because they have polling or they ve decided it s tough for them, they re not necessarily going to be replaced by three, four, five, different strong challengers, or strong folks who run for that contested primary on the republican side. like we saw in 18 on the democratic side where we had lots of contested rye mares because we had lots of democrats in these trying to challenge republicans who are excited to run for office. margie makes a great point here, too, the transformation of the party, think of the 101 members, thing about who s going to run for republican seat, who s motivated, lecture on the grassroots on the republican side, it s going to be a pro-trump american. unavoidably, that s the kind of person who s going to want to run in this environment, who s going to have a beat on an open republican primary if that s what you re facing. yo
