Wondering why im saying hi from northampton. Yes, i am. Yes. I was asked to say that today when i was on the Bill Newman Radio Show in northampton, massachusetts. Phoning in to the radio show. Of course, you are a big local hero there. I was on the show, of course, talking about my new book Playing With Fire and im one of those do anything to sell a book guys and so when he asked me to say hi to Rachel Maddow from northampton i said ill say that tonight on tv.

fifth accuser of roy moore emerged this afternoon. And this time, the woman appeared before cameras and told her own story in her own words
relations person. i m not a political expert, i m a lawyer. but the fact that this is a decided campaign to simply undermine what is going on. he s decided that s the the narrative he wants to pursue, you know? he s tweeted with spies or informants as the democrats like to call them because it sounds less sinister, but it s not. all over my pam cane, even from the very early date, why didn t the crooked highest levels of the fbi or justice contact me to tell me of the phony russian problem? should he received a phone call on the phony russia problem? he should have. a supply, a mole, strictly for political purposes against a political rivalry figure. and then, no, no, no. it is kind of funny. it s a moot court in law school,
times reported or told donald trump jr. they would publish the e-mail that is led up to the meeting and donald trump jr. published them all on the twitter page and there s a pattern of him kind of getting caught not having told the whole truth about the contacts with russians during the campaign and then needing to play catch up afterwards and i think it s really important to view this wikileaks revelation through the lens of the path, you know, evidence that we have seen of potential collusion between the campaign and moscow. we saw that papadopoulos in the spring of 2016 been told of potential dirt on hillary clinton and then e-mails released by wikileaks in july and then, of course, we saw the meeting between donald trump jr. and the russian lawyer and paul manafort at trump tower june 9th and the outreach of wikileaks and donald trump jr. s response did not occur in a vacuum and an important thing to keep in mind. mieke, we are seeing suggestions in the messages of wikileaks abo
