It is widely believed, and it is probably true, that he will announce he is leaving the senate. Many on the right are reacting gleefully to all this, to what is happening to franken, and you can understand the impulse. Franken was a mediocre senator and a thoroughly miserable person, cruel to those beneath him, narcissistic, monumentally selfrighteous. Al franken should have beenma exposed years ago for the nasty poser he always was. Instead, he was celebrated by the media. He was protected by the democratic establishment that found him useful. Very few people who knew al franken personally, including me, are mourning his departure from washington. Good riddance. But there is a downside to all this for anyone who cares about justice or due process or, for that matter, living in a free country. Todays calls for al frankens resignation were sparked by p a new accusation that he tried to kiss a woman against her will 11 years ago after a radio interview. W it certainly sounds plausible. O
Family eagerly intending to collude possibly with russia. Tucker its finally happened, we have a russian scandal, but instead approving collusion between the Trump Campaign and the government of vladimir putin, this one reveals deep wrongdoing and the Obama Administration, and its real. Weve known for several years that russian money was flowing to the Clinton Family and the foundations during the exact same period the Obama Administration approved the russian acquisition of 20 of this countrys strategic uranium reserves. Now new reporting from the hill newspaper revealed that as early as 2009 the fbi was investigating secret russian efforts to get the deal done by bribing americans. Somehow the public, and even key officials whenever told about that investigation, as they made the decision to allow the deal to go forward. At least one american businessman says he directly witnessed russian efforts to convince the clintons to approve that deal. The businessman says he was blocked from
Financial decisions. Even had veto power over hiring at the dnc. The revelation is shocking, even to people who suspected it was true, and it is now splitting the Democratic Party. Senator Elizabeth Warren now says the 2016 race was rigged in the primaries. Current dnc deputy chair Keith Ellison supported Bernie Sanders, he said the party is betraying millions of voters. House leader nancy pelosi says, stop talking about it. Time to move on to the next election, not feud over the last one. What about voters . Do they have a say . Should they have a say . Christy setzer, democratic strategist, president of new heights communication, joins us tonight. Thank you for coming on. Im really glad to be here. Thanks, tucker. Tucker how is this not the definition of corruption . Well, i know that Donna Brazile would like to sell some books. However, she fails to account for two things. The main argument she makes in this supposedly explosive piece is, one, that when she got to the dnc, two thing
Will use the yearend spending bill to shut downen the federal government if more than 700,000 people here illegally under daca dont get amnesty. Now, a single paragraph from a politico piece yesterday on the negotiations tells you everything you need to know about how democrats arekn looking at immigration policy now. Congressional republicans in the white house have long said thate any daca deal would need to be paired with security and other enforcement measures. Democrats say thats fine as long as the provisions werent too onerous. In other words, democrats are fine with borderds enforcement, just as long as it doesnt work. Thats why they are against the wall. The administration has w already moved on the Central Point of the debate. They say Daca Recipients can stay here legally. But, in return, their family members must be explicitly barred from benefiting chain migration. If those relatives want to come to this country, they have got to get in line with everybody else trying to c
The white house, the one that led to felony charges against the former National Security advisor. Until august, strzok was a f central member of Robert Muellers independent counsel investigation. Like zelig, hes everywhere. Peter strzok is a major figure in american political history. His fingerprints are all over events that will likely send people to prison, events your grandkids will be learning about years from now. So it is vital that Peter Strzoks ability and his integrity are beyond question. Unfortunately we are no longer convinced of either one, with evidence. Yesterday fox news obtained copies of the famous Text Messages strzok sent to his mistress, lisa page. The ones that got him kicked off the Mueller Probe last summer. They are devastating. In one exchange from august 2016, page told strzok maybe you are meant to stay where you are, the fbi, because you are meant to protect the country from that menace. What menace would that be . Well, just days before, strzok had signed
