roger stone. the explanation that he was under financial and extreme stress and he accepted responsibility. according to the judge, she made a point it wasn t just about the social media post. it was about how those kind of images and messages could incite others to commit acts of violence that were related to the case, neil. neil: so she could have been tougher still, right? what do you think happens now? he s been making the media rounds. he cut back a little bit. now he s got to be operation silence, right? the judge is taking a traditional approach. she s making incremental modifications at this point to the gag order. the next step would be a modification of the terms of his bail. i think the judge is taking what i would counsel as a wise and incremental approach to punishing stone for what she sees as actions that really
the senator from virginia, the top democrat on the senate intel committee, to go easy on facebook. we remember those hours of hearings. and the hawaii senator reacted to that as well. i don t know if mark warner did take it easy but chuck schumer certainly doesn t say anything to me about facebook. i was at the hearing where zuckerberg came to testify. at that point it wasn t clear to me anyway what kind of appropriate regulation there should be. sandra: these are really strong claims they are being forced to respond to. yes, certainly. one of the sort of conceptual themes of our story is the political connections that top leaders at facebook have in washington particularly with the democratic party and specifically sheryl sandberg s connections to some of the establishment and some of the more leading democrats in
two counties had election problems. i believe strongly it wasn t not a human effort. it was mechanical. officials say a substantial number of ballots were not counted. because of that breakdown of the machines senator nelson suing for a hand recount of all ballots in palm beach county. bill nelson has to look in the mirror and ask himself if he would like to end his career dragging the entire state of florida through the courts for more time. the election disaster in florida just got worse with broward county missing the deadline to turn in their recount total by just two minutes. they were rejected by the florida secretary of state. that means the official results from the election, unofficial results are going to be what stand. time-out. broward says they make the deadline. they are all happy that they finally made the deadline and then they submit it two minutes late past the deadline? that s exactly what happened.
anderson sorry, poppy, go ahead. no, let s go to standing by at the st. regis. you ve been outside the st. regis earlier in the day. you got a heads up about three hours ago, watching the security preparation for this move. yes, it is quite intense over here, anderson, for anyone to go anywhere, it takes about three hours of preparation. it was just before 6:00 p.m. local time. it is now looking at coming up to 10 minutes to 10:00 in the evening. but just before 6:00 p.m. we saw the motorbikes, the police motorbikes lining up towards the on the road adjacent to the st. regis, just behind the hotel and that was the indication that something or someone was on the move. we got into position, we waited here for around three hours before that motorcade took off, and at that point it wasn t clear where exactly they were going. now, we are getting eyes on from various places that they have turned up. we saw pictures at the lobby of
