With all of that. Anderson, one thing we should also note, and its something you just mentioned a short while ago, that is that one of the reasons why Christine Blasey fords legal team is canceling some of these interviews that they had set up is that they wanted to show some good faith to the other side and according to this source that was a welcome sign. It signaled to them that theres sort of a commitment there to get this done. And according to this source, in the words of this source, we want to work this out. Anderson, one other interesting prospect in all of this that i think really needs to be underlined and highlighted, and that is that the conversations are continuing inside the Senate Judiciary committee to have a female attorney, a prosecutor or litigant of some kind to represent the allmale gop side of the Senate Judiciary committee.

Well authorities already said that he had plans maybe not for this target. What worries me is that did this arrest actual
In the u. S. , too often we ignore our own laws and instead allow ruin to be visited on our own people. Some people in rockville fed up about this, a meeting today at high school with protest outside by angry residents. We had a reporter there, well tell you more about what happened in just a minute. Apparently the outrage does not extend to the leaders though, the town wont call itself a sanctuary city but it is in fact wanted follow sanctuary policies and top officials there dont want to think about the connection illegal immigration might have to this crime or others like it.
