Had been killed just hours earlier. Mere feet from them. This morning, Police Revealed this was a targeted attack by a 38yearold man who is currently being held without bail. They also cleared up earlier questions about identifying the maryland man with the use of fashl recognition technology. We were able to use that and a couple other techniques to make sure we knew who the bad guy was. I will not say his name today. I refuse to do it. I wish you wouldnt do it but i know better. He doesnt deserve us to talk about him one more second. There are no other suspects we are looking for right now. We have no reason to believe anybody else but the suspect was involved in this atrocity. With me now, nbc justice correspondent pete williams. Pete, you have been covering this closely. Where are we . Well, we had a bail hearing for the person who was arrested last night. And he has been held without bail, which is understandable. And at that bail hearing, the prosecutor said that the man you are
Civilian politics, from our political decisionmaking process in this country. Not exactly a screaming headline, tabloid topic, i know. But i had something to say about that so i wrote that book. And two things happened when i wrote the book that surprised me. Number one, the book did very well. No one was more shocked about that than i was. Lots of people read it, it made the best seller list for a really long time which is crazy. It still sells a bunch. They teach the book in all sorts of interesting places which ill tell you about sometimes if we ever have a beer together. That was very surprising to me, it did great. Knock me over with a feather. The other thing that happened when i published drift is that i publicly and privately swore that i would never, ever write another book. I only did it with drift in the first place because i felt like i had the idea of that book, the thesis of that book inside me like burning a hole in my chest. And the idea just wouldnt leave me alone. I f
A book. It was called drift, the unmooring of American Military power. Its a book about how the use of the American Military basically got divorced over time from civilian politics, from our political decisionmaking process in this country.

Forth. The statute that relates to obstructing a proceeding that is not yet in being, some future proceeding is 1512. My view was of the particular provision 1512 c was that it requires what it covers is obstruction by means of impairing evidence. That you know some evidence is going to be needed in the future proceeding and you impair it either by making it not available or by corrupting it in some way. Altering it, destroying it.

My concern there is that unlike Something Like bribery statute or Document Destruction where you prohibit it, thats a bad act. You
