Want and i will vote yet. Dean heller is the only republican standing for reelection in a state that went for hillary clinton. And he has a fellow republican who is the governor who doesnt like this bill. Hes in a tougher place. Im not exactly sure what Mitch Mcconnell could come up with that would move mr. Heller into the yes column. His rhetoric has been pretty emphatic. If you have got rand paul who is the least likely of the 10 at the conservative end and dean heller at the more moderate end, if heller thinks its too frugal, the more you push it one way and make it more generous, you will lose the frugal folks. Arthel lets take a listen. This is still a work in progress. Though the leader of the United States senate is very good at establishing coalitions to see that legislation passes. But its still a lot of work to be done to determine whether it gets to 51 votes. Maria what is your gut . Do you think it happens this week . My gut tells me this is very difficult. I hate to say th
Qu quote, Deutsch Banks takes its legal obligations seriously. Heres an interview with the New York Times a couple of months ago, answering questions as to whether his businesses and finances were fair gain. If mueller was looking at your finances and your Family Finances unrelated to russia, is that a red line . I would say yes. Lets get to all of this with our reporters and guests, White House Bureau chief phil rucker, with me on set, National Security reporter ken delaney. And chuck rosenberg, a former u. S. Attorney who worked on the staff of Robert Mueller and James Comb Koecomey of the fbi. Let me start with those financial headlines. Theres a dispute about the facts, but would you surmise that Donald Trumps taxes are something that bob mueller either has or will seek to
which the president and james comey have very different accounts of what happened there. And finally to the Deutsch Bank Discussion that youre having. Jay sekulow is another one of the president s outside counsel
Why, next was the fbi involved in this . The agency has 35,000 employees. Its got unmatched resources and expertise. Its the fbi. Why would it even consider going to a private investigator to do research on a President Elect . Keep in mind, this is not the first time the fbi has outsourced a major investigation. Recall that federal agents never examined the dnc servers after they were supposedly hacked by an outside party during the campaign. Instead, the fbi relied on the work of a dnc contractor this assured them that russia was behind the hacking. Why would the fbi do that . Did anyone at the Justice Department consider that hiring third party actors with unclear motives to conduct a highprofile investigation might be an Excellent Way for say foreign intelligence operations to sow chaos and promote their agendas . At the least without claims be colored by their natural desire
lot of this stuff and actually pay, use the taxpayers money to pay this british subject for this wacky repor
Now new tariffs that might ultimately ignite a trade war. The president has ignored the advice of most of business leaders. If you are thinking this president hasnt really thought this through very well . Thats how it happened. Jesse but the tariffs were just a Bargaining Chip and they worked. President trump this week we secured a wonderful deal with south korea. We had a deal that was a horror show. It was going to produce 200,000 jobs and id did for them. She was right, but it was for them, not for us. Jesse south korea doubled the amount of american cars they will allow to be sold in their
country. This in exchange for trump temporarily dropping the threat of steel tariffs. The Washington Post reported it marks the First Successful renegotiation of a trade deal for the Trump Administration. That line was buried at the bottom of the story, not even worthy of a headline. Little rocket man traveled to beijing for constructive talks with his puppet master. America and north korea are n
The latest Political Developments of the day and interviews with top newsmakers are featured. We played that clip of donald trump call thing an attack on the nation. Cohen, interestingly in interviews with George Stephanopoulos and others, said the fbi was very courteous and respectful. He did not describe the raids on his home and offices as an attack on the nation. Does that seem to be more that he softened on his stance against the fbi . He seems to. I recall him saying he would take a bullet for the president. Maybe thats going into court and Pleading Guilty. But the pardon itself is a political calculation. Im not very good at that. I dont know whether hes a candidate or not. But at this point, with what he has in front of him, what he did and what he knows, he seems like hes taking the smart path, the one where he admits his guilt, sort of takes his medicine, and hopes the court will give him some consideration for that.
