About on the campaign trail related to the Obama Administrations unfreezing of assets of iran that had been frozen since the iranian revolution. Let me just read you the tweet. He said the people of iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt iranian regime, and all the money that president obama so foolishly gave them went into terrorism and their pockets, and people have little food and big inflation and no human rights and the u. S. Is watching. Theres no evidence that we know of that says iran actually used that money for terrorism, and nonetheless thats the first tweet. The second tweet he also wrote, crooked Hillary Clintons aide put classified passwords in the hands of foreign agents. That is that the president going after his Justice Department run by his handpicked attorney general. It has been a common theme for the president to do this, but some of the facts in that tweet are questionable and based on some reporting in conservative media that cnn has not yet confi
Rudy giuliani as he often does on sunday afternoons did a series of phone interviews with members of the media and spoke with the Washington Post and the New York Times and spoke with our own Kelly Odonnell and he told her based on conversations with the special counsel team that Robert Muellers team of investigators plans to have the obstruction of justice piece of their probe wrapped up by september 1st.

I would just point out that legal experts that weve talked with say investigations like this are often measured in years, not in months. The benghazi probe took two and a half years and the ken starr probe took at least four years. It wou
I know you have a good 40 minutes of television, 45, 50, that you had written for tonights 9 00 hour, would you mind just dropping by here and slipping me, like in the second half hour, i could do all of those some of those segments of yours. No because im not planning on there being any news tomorrow and im going to run tonights show tomorrow, so you would be scooping me. Or you could wait and bequeath them to the museum of broadcasting that got bumped by breaking news. You bump stuff every day because something happens between 7 00 and 9 00 every night that changes the show and everything. Then in my life at least i keep all of these things in a fire trap pile next to my desk. And if you let these things cook for another day or two, they end up having some horrible, terrible new two days on development. So even though these stories die a slow death on fast nights they often come back a few days later. It was amazing to watch you deal with it with about three minutes notice. I had a l
