according to and open ed from jonathan turley he said, quote, donald trump would have been better off robbing stormy daniels with a gun. bragg would have thrown that case right now. he s correct. under bragg 52 percent of every felony case gets reduced to misdemeanor and of all the felony cases that bragg actually brings to trial he loses 49 percent of the time. other words he has one of the worst conviction rates in the country. in september a man named justin washington received a sweetheart deal after allegedly rapeing a teenage relative. he was set to serve 30 days in jail but before that terrorizing 5 more victims. look at your screen. another sweetheart deal by bragg to the perpetrator of a vicious anti-semitic beating in midtown manhattan in new york city and trooudz charges for a man who tried to rob the same pharmacy
need this anonymous open ed to know what is happening. what it does is it confirms with great clarity, coupled with bob woodward s book, and together you have the picture of an administration that is chaotic, not qualified, and the president who is clearly not qualified to do this job. you re not moving out alone though down the road? andrea, i m not thinking about a run. everybody says, oh, you re thinking about it, you re planning. no. right now, i doubt i m going to be running for office. he says first thing s first, the 19 excuse me, the 2018 midterm elections. and a final thought today about a friend and mentor. and we wish he were covering the races. the new york times political reporter and editor adam climber. he wrote the biography of teddy kennedy. he died in his home on monday.
that you think he should come clean? i do. i think my opinion differs from some in the white house. but the american people are very forgiving, i think the president could surprise everyone, and speak directly to the american people about what went down. and then as rich lowry suggested in an open ed this wycheek, dispatch his lawyers to go out and make the right deal with the election commission, to pay the fine that would come of it. pay big money back. you don t really worry about long term or jeopardizing the office of the presidency for limb, if he were to just come clean and state the reasons which rich knew about. he said, look, folks, if he admits it, i was embarrassed, i didn t want to hurt my wife. the american public has been very forgiving in the past. i don t agree with rich all the time, i think he was spot on here. it caused a bit of a ruffle in
were committed or weren t. that s kind of a line you ve heard from establishment republicans, people who are concerned about the possibility of donald trump firing rod rosenstein. then you have the people like steve bannon, jason mill, he and others who are saying get rid of them. how do you square it? this is something that we re hearing from a number of republicans who have come out and said who are pleading either privately or publicly with the president that firing the special counsel or the deputy attorney general in this case would be a serious mistake. they want the investigation to just take its course and, you know, the president has maintained throughout this whole process his innocence and he did not clued with the russian government officials so they said let it go, let him do his job. sara, you were here when i talked to sort of folks across the administration. they re frustrated that this topic keeps coming up in some ways. one, the senator, thom tillis has a solu
