to rollback the comments in saying it s mean something else but everyone can listen to that tape for what it is. this is coming from a guy who pled guilty to two different felonies before two different federal judges so yes he got a pardon from donald trump later on but let s not forget this guy admitted in open federal court to being a federal felon while he was the national security adviser. the national security adviser is like one step below got in the white house. it s one of the most important jobs imaginable. maybe the chief of staff, but that s it. and this guy was a felon while he was doing the job. so i don t put much stock in him. i hope nobody else does but absolutely brian, if someone is giving speeches like this they do start coming close to and can trample that line between protected speech and something beyond that. so i think our network is doing something responsible here by not airing it.
and don kalway, democratic strategist, a member of the advisory board for the national voter protection fund, protection action fund forgive me and also ceo and founder of pine street strategies, a d.c.-based lobbying firm. well, good evening and welcome to all of you. we re especially grateful for you spending a few minutes with us on this holiday monday night. congressman, i would like to start with you. republicans aren t letting up. there is every reason to believe these efforts are going to become more aggressive as we approach the midterms and certainly the next general in 24. how do you remain optimistic it s more or less the mission statement of your new organization? yeah. look, in terms of the legislation we re seeing work its way through republican legislatures in states across the country, a lot of these matters will end up in federal court where hopefully they will
you fire mccomey, mccabe, you gin up a prosecution of mccabe, which they were criticized for in open federal court. you oust the ukraine ambassador. there s a lot of removing the people who would be good cops, trying to put bad cops in charge, and there are bad cops, they re still cops, and then also having an outside channel. on the mueller example, we know he went to the outside channel and asked lewandowski who did not, according to mueller s people, commit a crime. he asked lewandowski to commit a crime, he said yeah, boss, and didn t do it. there s the shadow, the shadow, the policy, and still hatchet people, fixers, shadow, who are agitating on the outside. it s hard to pull off this plot with those people we saw today, the hills, you know, bill taylors in charge. so you re doing both. how would fiona hill relate
284 of 285 terror-related charges. he was found guilty on one count of conspiracy to damage or destroy u.s. property. this simply put is insane. ghailani is the first gitmo detainee to be tried in federal criminal court. and the obama administration hopes that a sweeping guilty verdict would help clear the way for other gitmo inmates, such as the beloved khalid sheikh mohammed to be tried in federal court. but if the president is honest here and if he truly puts american security first, he will now admit that trying major terror figures in open federal court is wrong and potentially dangerous. military tribunals are far more effective use for these cases because of the sensitive intelligence involved and their less stringent admissibility rules. one key witness was excluded by the judge because his identity was discovered through enhanced interrogation techniques. consider the evidence presented to the jury.
