for what he did. they can only send it to the house judiciary committee for impeachme impeachment. can they investigate him? of course they can and they are. shepard: so he s under investigation we already knew this. all of this chatter about seems it s inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. as far as the investigation goes, it s underway. happening now. the rest of this is chatter. it s look over here stuff. the look over here may be to energize his base that does not change the attitude of the investigators at all. that may decide there s no there there and the investigation will end or they may decide somebody will get indicted. once we indict that person, we ll ask them to testify somebody north of them on the totem poll. that s the way it takes about. has michael flynn flipped? we don t know yet. by that, has he turned federal evidence? he probably wouldn t do that
there s much more skepticism about moscow and putin s involvement than there is in trump tower. mike pompeo was clearly making the case that there is respect for the intelligence agency, but, boy, he is someone if he is confirmed, which it looks like he will be, inheriting a job that is very difficult. morale incredibly low. tweets like this certainly don t help the matter at all. it s not a long-term and sustainable situation for any administration, and i think that going into this we have to continue to assume that the president is the top of the totem poll here. his word is the over-arching theme for the direction of all the agencies underneath him, and regardless of who is being said at these hearings, which are largely designed to reassure members on the hill, both moderate republicans and democrats, the direction of the administration is going to be
conversation. among the others, there are other questions like the keystone xl pipeline that the republicans have said they will reawaken that conversation, do what i can to get fossil fuel out of the ground and into the economy. if it becomes a major campaign issue, it will be part of not just the president s legacy but also a part of the next election. does this event make it higher up on the totem poll of campaign issues? i think there s no question. at least in the short term you ll see it trump terrorism as chris just said. that s really what you re seeing on the minds of a lot of people when it comes to paris. i think errol is right. if an accord is reached, it will have sweeping implications for what comes next in terms of the person who replaces president obama. you ll see a lot more from republicans. you have heard the democrats talking about climate change fight a bit, most notely bernie sanders. i think this is going to rise, especially in a general election
i was lohman onw man on the totem poll on the cosby show and overnight women were coming out of the wood work. i was single. so it was a bit different. i began to wonder can any man say no every single time. so i think i gave him a pass on that. now flash forward many years. i think like a lot of people i was really giving bill the benefit of the doubt. this was not the man that i knew. this is not the man that i worked with. he may have had other faults but he certainly was not drugging and raping people. and then i had a conversation with an old friend bumped into her. i hadn t talked to her in a couple of years. i just thought, hey, he used to be like your mentor or something. was she an actress? yeah. and i don t want to say too much about her. what did she say? for two hours she sat in my car crying telling me her
these nonessential workers who are usually at the low end of the totem poll in the federal government. we know we have unemployment everywhere, so we know people are suffering and we are working to surge this government up. but we are hearing of people having to be taken away to a shelter because of domestic abuse. we just heard a story of a soldier s wife who is so frustrated and stressed because she didn t know what she s going to do. he is in afghanistan, and she s laid off. so i think congresswoman, you can relay a lot of those stories. but both parties are pretty good at using them to make a point. and i want to alert you, congresswoman, because a lot of people raise hackles when soon after the incident in washington this week with the chase scene and the shooting, you said this. and i want to go back to this. rather than respond in a way that leaves 8,000 federal employees unemployed, and god knows the tragedy of this person came on the hill in a black car,
