and i pressed a white house official on it, is the idea, as you and i reported in the past about the security clearance as they related to the statuses of curb anywhekushner and ivanka t. you remember, they said, we do not talk about individual security clearances. on this occasion, obviously, the white house has changed its mind, and it is something it is certainly trying to make an issue out of. the official also said the bottom line is, they feel like it is a problem if you have individuals, specifically john brennan, who formally served in the intelligence community, still having access to the community, sort of in their eyes, throwing out these hints, as if they know something more than they do know about issues that may reflect poorly on the president. that s what, obviously, infuriates president trump himself and certainly this white house. it is worth noting, thissing you ni this ignites a new topic, the president has tweeted
in lonely hez. the constitution grants them the right to dignity. for more i m joined by pete williams, nbc news justice correspondent, charlie sykes from the weekly standard and jonathan turley, university law professor. what a group. pete, we ve been talking about thissing about three hours. i want to skip politics for about five minutes. i think the democratic party is loaded for bear on there baby. talk about justice kennedy. you re from california, you went to stanford. understand the nuance of what a california republican, a northern california republican is all about. i think kennedy s the essence of that. he s from sacramento. remember it was president reagan who put him on the supreme court. initially he voted with the conservatives. one of his first breakaway votes was on the core question of roe versus wade. he s been a pretty consistent vote on abortion rights ever since. he up held a ban on partial birth abortions but on the core
disvavenlg i never seen the program. i only watch news and sports. i haven twash watched the sitcom since the 1990s. as van said, few want someone who represents a red erica, finds someone better. brian you have been reporting about this all day. what s the late st you have learned about this? a sense of pride in abc and disney and how quickly it happened. there was a question about what rosanne might say next. she was speaking about a statement of contrition. one of the producers said i shoep hope she seeks help we have seen thissing a before with other celebrities when they say they will try to say the right thing, seek help and mount a comeback. is that possible? i think that remains to be seen. say and do the right thing and quickly. remember this happened before lunchtime on the west coast.
more angry when he got home, enough for me to just shut up the next time. my kids have fortunately blocked out memories of hiding under their beds. another viewer tweeted the first time and only time he came at me he broke my leg. i covered it up, i protected him but i later realized that i was actually protecting myself from the embarrassment and shame i felt for allowing thissing to happen, me, too. anne tweeted at 20, holding my infant daughter in my arms he hit me in the mouth. she was covered in my blood. i looked at her and said to myself, over my dead body will i give her a life like this. left in the night and never looked back. m tweeted this is the kind of open support survivors need to see. this is the kind you have support that are might encourage someone to say it s okay. i can tell. thank you. there were many stories told by
coming. and i mean, this is really, really important. the only people who have the power to changing thissing are roy moore stepping aside, doesn t like he will do that, the alabama republican party. doesn t look like they re going to do that at all or the governor also doesn t look like they re going to do that. how much of this pressure from washington matters if you re an alabama republican saying back off? i would suggest less than we re saying. it matters to some extent in the sense trump got 62% in alabama and moore is polling at about 48. moore s into the doing well. that said, the idea that mitch mcconnell will push him out, mcconnell is very unpopular among republicans in alabama. i don t think he can push anybody out in any race particularly this race. just to sort of put a button on that before we go to break, this is what as alabama rnc committee man said about the notion of a sessions write-in campaign, what it would mean for
