city of maryland? the mayor of baltimore, in the dead of night, had statues removed but mayor hogan is that s not vandals no. but larry had the statue of chief justice tany taken down, which i kind of appreciate, because i had to stare at it for four years. it was outside my lieutenant governor s office window, so when i looked down, there was the top of his head. but i support what the governor did. he doesn t want that to become the symbol we saw down in charlottesville. this is another moment, i m rhymed of mitch landrieu s speech he made when he removed those statues in new orleans and his reaction afterward when he said that the blowback was so strong that he may not not have reconsidered, but that he was surprised by it. have the conversation with somebody who s not white. then it s a different conversation. absolutely. thank you. michael, kasie, jonathan.
handling of classified information included possibly coordinating with the white house through a top nsc staffer in the dead of night, devin nunes stepped down from his role in investigation of russia s attempt to help elect trump. speaking of russia, the nation backing assad s rule in syria is russia, and who the trump administration apparently gave a heads up before the administration s airstrikes. this week they found cia was briefing members of congress last august about russia, possibly coordinating with trump advisers to get trump into the white house. after all of these national security shakeups and new information about russia, the key question is this, what changed russia s mind on russian-backed assad regime and what was the point of these airstrikes. joining me representative barbara lee from california. councilwoman lee you re just the person we want to talk to on this. you have long opposed what you ve seen as interference in
martha: austan, that s the charge. selective outrage. partisan, selective outrage. and going after devin nunes, you saw in all those clips, it s been merciless out there for him. have you to ask yourself, you know, sort of what i mean, he is not out there trying to ruin his career. he is trying to do the right thing one way or the other. he will be judged based on the evidence when it actually does come out. well, look, the oldest golden rule of information is nobody covers up things that are favorable to them. so, when chairman nunes sneaks into the white house, literally in the dead of night, and apparently is given information by white house staffers that he then the next day gets up and claims he brought to the white house. people say wow, that is a pretty inflammatory charge. what is that evidence? he says well, i can t show it to you. i can t show it to other members of the committee. i can t turn that evidence over to the senate
