Its similar to around claims that since at least 2009 while way has been able to covertly access mobile phone networks around the world using back doors designed for use by Law Enforcement u. S. Intelligence agencies claim that while way has built equipment that secretly preserves its ability to Access Networks through these interfaces without carrier knowledge though these officials still have not provided details of where they believe while we was able to do so now this is important because these 2 stories are actually completely unrelated and yet the timing of the journal story about access to back doors and the federal indictment of intellectual property seems to have been designed to conflate the 2 into one story again it is not and thirdly these 2 stories are not the same as the claim that wall way is spying on behalf of the Chinese Government. And while we continue to insist that they do not. Spy for the Chinese Government for their part while way is pushing back against this ne
Thirdly these 2 stories are not the same as the claim that wall way is spying on behalf of the Chinese Government. And while we continue to insist that they do not spy for the Chinese Government for their part while way is pushing back against this new indictment they stated that this new indictment as part of the Justice Department meant to attempt to err of accompli damage while ways that reputation and its business for reasons related to competition rather than Law Enforcement and that the racketeering enterprise that the government charged today is nothing more than a contrived repackaging of a handful of civil allegations that are almost 20 years old. So here we are in this moment where this week i mean you could call it a very bad week for awhile way but in some ways as a journalist when youre looking at the story and i think its a failure of our media is to challenge what the government is saying look of while way is guilty of doing what the u. S. Government says why. We should
Very, very first new years eve celebration that is we are going to get throughout the hour on mornings with maria. Weve got a big show this morning, joining the conversation michael, Founder Michael lee, market analyst francis and real clear politics cofounder president tom bevin. Happy new year, guys. Happy new year. Cheryl weve had a phenomenal year. Typically when the market moves people get hesitant, just thoughts to stay positive in 2020, so in the summer of 2018 the market actually had roughly 10 below here, going off into the end of 2018, i think that spells well for 2020, this could really keep going, its been a good decade for stocks. Cheryl francis a lot to watch obviously for you this year, its been a blockbuster year. Its been a blockbuster, whats important is the catalyst that kept the market going, we kept getting news on the front and the fed keeps injecting money into the system which is good for equities. Cheryl i think its 2020, though. For sure. We have politics happ
Yep. I hear somebody interrupting. Sorry, congresswoman. This is george stephanopoulos. We know the president will be in michigan tonight. You have pretty keen political the antenna. You were one of the few democrats warning the Hillary Clinton campaign back in 2016 that michigan could go to President Trump. Whats happening on the ground there right now in michigan with the president , and particularly on this issue of impeachment . Its very torn. I will tell you that first of all, people are more engaged than i have ever seen them. You know, just this weekend being home, i went to the doctor for an asthma checkup and 25 people stopped me while i was at the university of michigan on all sides. The last person i saw, said i shouldnt be bothering you. Youre at the doctor, but i have to tell you this. We shouldnt be impeaching. She was nice. I had people yell at me on one side.

And probably a vote we expect somewhere between 6 30 and 7 30. It is important that everybody remember that it is im not saying it is a side show there will be people who are going to be talking about and i heard some of them today saying, listen, there could be a surprise in the senate, might be some defections. I dont see it that way. I look at i only have history not a lot of history with these things, but day by day of when clinton was impeached in trial and anniversary of which is tomorrow. Yes, it is. And you got that period from january 7th, 1999, february 12th, really the most turmoil and thats where you at the height of when things were bad, the nasdaq lost. 18 s p down 3. 0 dow down 2. 6 and after that the market roared. If you want to know when to buy, might want it buy into the teeth of tomorrow, maybe even next day. Because it is just a great opportunity. It doesnt feel as though when it comes to the markets that there has been any real impact from this no. None whatsoever
