The politics lead. Hillary clintons team now saying they did individually review every email before trashing some 32,000 private emails but new poll numbers breaking this hour show the American People arent exactly satisfied with her explanation. Good afternoon. Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. We begin with the world lead. He has been on a warpath for more than a year with prorussian separatists and Russian Troops laying waste to huge parts of Eastern Ukraine and basically daring the west to try and stop him in the process. Ten days ago, however, the world was left to wonder just what exactly happened to Vladimir Putin. He vanished from the public eye. Today, finally the russian president came out from wherever hes been for close to two weeks, putting those rumors to rest. The rumors ranged from his being dead to having the flu to seeing to the birth of a secret love child. Not only is putin back but he may be more dangerous than ever. We are now hearing how far he was willing to
So clearly the idea that were going to make ourselves better off by getting rid of guns doesnt work, as a number of callers already pointed out. Criminals dont obey the law. Thats sort of the way criminals are. And they will get guns and the question is, are we going to make it easy or hard for the good guys to be able to defend ourselves . Host and as mr.
