Nomination. Ive expressed my doubts as to whether or not it can survive. But in terms of how this is going to play out in the long run and whats going to happen next and how theyre going to deal with this allegation, i really feel like its a totally open road how this is going to happen. From your experience in the senate do you feel you know where this is going to end up or do you feel this is as open ended as i do . I cannot see where this is going to end up. Because of the elements of this that we really cannot at this stage figure out the power is of dr. Fords side of this. Ive been hugely impressed with how dr. Ford has handled herself in this matter since her name became public and what has been her first week in the National Spotlight and her intense National Spotlight. I dont know whether shes going to accept basically a bad deal from the Judiciary Committee. I wouldnt. I wouldnt advise her not to accept a bad deal from inJudiciary Committee in testifying. Im sure shell be gett
In 1972 the dnc sued the committee for the reelection of the president , aka creep, the fund raising arm of Richard Nixons Reelection Campaign at the center of the watergate scandal. The campaign settled with the democrats for 750,000 on the very day nixon left office. Fast forward to today, and the democrats are suing over another breakin, alleging the trump campaign, wikileaks and russia conspired to disrupt the 2016 election by hacking dncs emails. Trump seems to think shes named wendy. The lawsuit comes as a group of House Republicans have formed a veritable committee to protect the president by attacking fired fbi director james comey. The republican chairs of several key committees forced the doj to release memos written by comey about his interactions with trump. The memos were promptly leaked to the press. Well, this attempt to discredit comey didnt quite work out the way the republicans thought. The memos are consistent with comeys testimony to the senate and with his book, ad
Millions in taxes through schemes and outright fraud. A lawyer for the president calls the report inaccurate. It is triggering what may become a new investigation of the trump taxes. Lets get to it. First from the fox news deck this wednesday afternoon, the battle for the Supreme Court. Today the white house is vigorously defending the president s latest comments about a woman who accused his Supreme Court nominee of Sexual Assault. That is after three republican senators who could be key to confirming Brett Kavanaugh slammed the president s statement. College professor Christine Blasey ford told the Senate Judiciary Committee Last week that kavanaugh pinned her to the bed and covered her mouth and tried to take off her clothes when they were at a party in high school. Judge kavanaugh said it never happened. Heres what the president said at a rally in north mississippi about dr. Fords testimony. How did he get he home . I dont remember. How did you get there . I dont remember. Where is
See, we are not event planners, looking just for record numbers that we did get an attendance. We are those that are involved in social justice work, cross party and racial lines to try to make a difference. Now the work begins to help to recapture the soul of america in the vision of dr. King. As one of the highlights we had the honor to host some democratic frontrunners for the 2020 race for the white house. Kamala harris and Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and christian gillibrand. Youre going to hear from all four today in what we call the sharpton primary.

People should be encouraged by is all of the people who were on the list that President Trump put out when he was still running for the presidency are incredibly established jurists very much in the mold of scalia much like nile gorsuch. Word is that it has come down to 2 or 3 finalists. Bret kavanaugh who sits on dc circuit, Raymond Kethledge on sixth circuit and amy cony barrett on the seventh court of appeals. All of them have their different qualifications and points in their order but may come down a bit to the president and which way he goes in terms of his connection with them when he met with them.
