Enforcement actions and the lessons that we should take away from them. We must recognize that Enforcement Actions are just one part of the answer, so im interested in hearing also about how we can better inform computer users of the dangers of botnets and what other hygiene steps we can take to address this threat. My hope is that this hearing starts a conversation among those dealing day to day with the botnet threat and those of us in congress who are deeply concerned about that threat. Congress, of course, cannot and should not dictate tactics for fighting botnets. That must be driven by the expertise of those on the front lines of the fight, but congress does have an Important Role to make sure there is a solid Legal Foundation for Enforcement Actions against botnets and clear standards governing when they can occur.

And speaking of the probe, very few people know exactly what happened in that Infamous Trump tower meeting. Rob goldstone is one of them. And guess what, hes the one who set up that sitdown don junior and the russians and hes ready to tell all live to us tonight.

The drama surrounding the justice departments number two played out today with a morning meeting with chief of staff john kelly, who told associates that he had accepted rosensteins
Prosecutor to the aide the image of bullying. The president makes it clear today where he stands. I know this particular man, judge kavanaugh. He is outstanding. You dont find people like this. He is outstanding. He is a gem. He is an absolute gem. As we continue with this breaking news, and goodday. Im Andrea Mitchell in new york, and Michael Avenatti is going to be joining me live later in the hour to discuss these stunning allegations by his client washington resident julia swetnick. She says that Brett Kavanaugh drank excessively in as many as ten house parties from 1981 to 1983 in the washington, d. C. , e area, and he and his friend mark judge engaged in abusive behavior toward women, including grinding against girls clothing, and shifting girls clothing to expose body parts. I have seen him verbally abusive to girls, and making crude comme comments to girls that were designed to humiliate and embarrass them. He also caused girls to be inebriated or drugged so they could be gang
How does that go again . The cows are in the barn and go out of the barn. And one of those cows is the Southern District of new york. And there are investigations that have been parceled out to other places, and we also know that the new York Attorney Generals Office that does not have to answer to any pardon that trump may issue is also on the case in various ways. So there are lots of things that are out there, because mueller has been in business for a year and a half, that no matter what happens at the justice department, i dont think theres anything they can do about them, really. I was going to respond to that, but i know preet has to get up early to start milking, so ill just leave that alone. Thats the last farm analogy im going to make. Yeah, farmer bharara, appreciate it.
