will be in for several days and they have a skeleton staff and then they on a thursday or friday or whatever it might be and that is when everybody comes running back to washington, d.c. watch to see if this is a charade, a photosion. shannon: three and half days. three and has stays. that is even less. i will point out some of the republicans, air republican in nevada who needs to be at home, dean heller. republicans need may be leading him for dead, not sure if he will continue to invest in entries, but there will be considerations on that side, too. shannon: will continue to watch that. we are standing by to hear from the top two finishers in california and the governor s race, one republican and democrat. how that could impact the fall elections. coming up next, also former congressman jason chaffetz weighs in onhat tonight s results mean so far. stick around. i m ray and i quit smoking with chantix.
i think that traditionally moscow reacts in a reciprocal way so we can expect expulsions and we can expect the closure of. of one of the remaining three u.s. consulates in in russia but as terry correctly said with regard to nato will be quite difficult to reciprocate because the both naif information office and nato military liaison mission are running on especially skeleton staff so reciprocation a bit difficult but definitely i think moscow is a flabbergasted by that it is highly irritated by by these measures and of course there is the reason reason for that because frankly in recent memory neither saddam hussein nor the kim family in north korea would meted out such diplomatic humiliation and also awful of course it shows and it lays bare the fact that russia has absolutely no allies another single country supported it in its standoff with the west and actually it is now a standoff not only with the u.k. not only with u.k.
to victoria and joe were conflicted out is if provided testimony dire to the president. the legal picture is becoming dire for the president at the same hour hiring lawyers is becoming next to impossible for the president. it s a concern being shared by people inside and outside the white house. there are a number of west wing officials trying their best right now to seal themselves off from the russia probe. they don t want to know what s going on. being in the building, our reporting, there s a palpable sense of concern here that there is real danger being posed to this administration. you re right, it comes to the point where it s a skeleton staff legal team right now that they can t find anyone you d think representing the president of the united states would be, especially one who has plenty of money to pay you, would be the prestigious, the pinnacle of your career. and he can t get anyone in there to do this. and i think that is setting off alarm bells even further. come on
ran an unconventional campaign. he spent next to nothing compared to his opponent, had a skeleton staff. there s no doubt that it was chaotic. but it got him to the presidency. we know through the investigations to date and even prior to mueller being appointed that nothing seems to have been untoward towards the president. and i have to believe that we would have heard something by now had it gone up to the candidate or the president-elect or the president himself. jessica, i doubt that democrats are going to buy this new narrative that we started hearing about a week ago the chaos theory? yeah, the idea that it was such an unconventional campaign, that from the inside, nobody knew what was going on, it was fast changing, quick moving. that would be a good defense in this situation. as much as democrats like to say that it looked like it was off the rails and just chaotic, they wouldn t like it hear it as a defense in this situation. no. i think they ll pick it apart even on
well, tourism is a big part of cuba s economy now. the door opening to american tourists was a big deal. so if people were to change their travel plans, that could be big. nbc news has not confirmed your reporting at the ap, but if it turns out as they re looking into who s behind this that cuba is not responsible, isn t that pretty ominous? it s really concerns. i mean, we haven t gotten to the point where we re expelling cuban diplomats from the u.s. we did that two of them in may. we re a long way from 2015 when raul castro and obama, you know, opened the door to these two diplomatic relationships. he makes a really good point. this is there has been a lot of hope for the fact the u.s. was making progress with cuba. 50 years of problems starting to fade. and now you re going to have barely a skeleton staff at the embassy. a big knock toward the cuban economy. this is going to be really difficult.
