The judgment that the policy was unlawful and unconstitutional. He goes on to say while the memo offers several additional Policy Grounds for daca rescission, most of these simply repackage legal arguments previously made. And insufficiently independent from the Agencies Evaluation of daca legality to preclude review work to support the agencies decision. An earlier opinion the court did not say dhs lacks the Constitutional Authority to rescind the program and he says it is not with this ruling either but if dhs wants to rescind the program, they have to give a rational explanation for their decision. Saying, the last guy did it wrong is in in adequate. Doing so probably amounted to criminal activity. She admitted she had a sense that manafort lied to her about where money be transferred into his Political Consu
A look at the days top news and headlines. Plausible, innocent explanation although i cant see one here for building all these offshore accounts and funneling money there to escape reporting it to the irs. On the other hand, i dont think the manafort defense is working. His defense is essentially this he is batman, hes blaming robin for all the problems. And thats just not going to work. Dana like the jury is not going to buy that let me ask you a few things that other possible, you know, big shot lobbyists in washington, d. C. Are rethinking some of their own practices at this point. That is a great question, dana. I think one of the things people overlooking is that manafort is not the unusual one in a way. He is unusual in that he tried to hide the money and not report it to the irs. Its not unusual in the way that he is making the money. He, like a lot i think this is partially why trump campaigned against quote, unquote, the swamp. There are lobbyists. A lot of people who just rec
David Gura hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Intelligence community is coming forth with. And to pull up, the headline in a piece you wrote about ivanka trumps comments to mike allen. Are journalists the enemy of the people, thats the question she was asked. She said they are not. Jane newton small, i want to ask you about whats characterized as two administrations. You have members of the president s team of advisers on this issue, electoral interference differing widely in total opposition to the president of the United States. Help me understand how thats shaping up and how stark that contrast is between the two opposing institutions . David, i talked to people in the white house. They talk about living on a notion, right . They tried to do most work on the bottom part of the ocean, trying to go underneath the waves, trying to not be railed by surface tension. They view what the president s tweets are as surface tension. They view it as t
exchange for it they look like they re what s called influence peddling. they are trying to get our government to do things in exchange for the payments. it looks extremely sorted. i don t blame people. that s why i think the jury is going to have very little sympathy for manafort. the american people have become sick and tired of inside the beltway influence peddling for large amounts of cash. dana: let me switch topics with you. i wanted to play for you a sound last night from rudy giuliani talking about whether the trump team will advise president trump to sit down with robert mueller anin that investigation. listen. we offered him an opportunity to do a form of questioning. he can say yes or no. we can do it. if he doesn t want it do it, he knows the answers to every question that he wants to ask. is he going to ask them, did you tell comey to go easy on flynn? the president will say no, i didn t. dana: john it, seems that the president s team has a consensus against the pres
of the president sitting down with mueller. i think the president is more than open. he is raring to talk to mueller. that is obvious because he looks to overrule what his lawyers are telling him. defense lawyers almost always counsel the clients not to testify in court or give more information to authorities unless it is absolutely necessary. look at trumps tweets in public statements. it s good that he views these as bogus and wants to fight them. whether that is the best legal strategy is open. but that is something he personally wants to do. blake: one issue is the rush occlusion case and if there s an obstruction of justice, and whether the president would answer questions with robert mueller verbally versus writing them down, written questions. that would be on the issue of obstruction of justice. is at the crossroads?
