"i had to fire general fund because he lied to the vice president and the fbi. he has pled guilty to those lies. >> i see it in the hyper frenetic attitude of the white house, the comments every day. the continual tweets. and i see it most importantly in what happened with the firing of director call me. believes that historically because he did not agree to list the cloud -- lift the cloud of the russia investigation. that is obstruction of justice. >> reporter: political science professor joe two men clarified the endgame for top democrats. >> what senator feinstein was saying what she sees charges for obstruction of justice coming together on the basis of loosely accumulating all of this different evidence. >> reporter: that evidence has been collected for months by mueller's team who

there are a range of other charges that may be looked at as well. >> reporter: he adds that despite the tweets claiming no collusion by the president and his lawyers, this will almost be neatly tied up and finished by the end of december could be wishful thinking. so what we're looking at will be a long, drawnout affair with every white house official in the crosshairs of this investigation now

and house versions both cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20%. some republicans say the promise has set the market on fire. then they say that will inspire workers -- companies to raise -- pay more money and hire more workers but others argue the roll down doesn't -- isn't guaranteed. >> these companies could invest money in the workforce, giving them skills they need to compete as opposed to what i am afraid of, is that we will see the vast majority of these funds come back and be used for share buyback and dividends. >> reporter: democrats and some republicans in high tax states like new york or california also complained about the elimination of some local and state tax deductions and margaret -- mortgage deductions which could raise taxes for their constituents but republicans in lower tax states say if you don't like it, move. >> the majority of people in the country are tired of subsidizing the high tax states. why should a couple of two children making an income exactly the same for the same couple with the same kids in california, why should the couple in iowa pay more federal income tax? that has been the case for the last 30 years. this moves to correct that. >>

and they would be in that car in less than 15 seconds. >> reporter: every holiday, we are told to stay on alert. make sure we don't become victims of theft or robbery. sometimes, that is e-vine -- easier said than done. >> it's holiday season. everybody is in holiday or shopping mode and they are not in theft protection mode. >> reporter: we asked j.d. nelson of the alameda county sheriff's department to give us insight into what criminals are thinking. i can tell you personally hindsight is 2020. looking back at this surveillance picture of my wide- open purse at the top of my shopping cart last month is to be honest embarrassing. especially since i know now that only moments later, someone in this car reached out a window and grabbed it. >> how fast were they gone? >> within seconds. >> reporter: but sharing that story led to a lot of advice. >> what a lot of people told me is when i got robbed, they said you should have worn a cross carry purse. you should have looked it into a shopping cart. you should have done a few of these things to make yourself not so tempting for the criminal. >> sure. i mean there's always a lot of things you could do, but there is also cases where people you know ripped the strap right off and then you get hurt in the process. criminals generally target what they perceive as an easy target. >> we thought it was a good time to take a minute to figure out how to make ourselves a harder target. we had sergeant nelson look at some of the video from black friday. ordinary people just trying to enjoy the day. we asked him to give us the criminal's perspective. he says when it comes to location if you're near a street you may see convenience but? see escape routes. >> the exit is even easier in and out formal. >> reporter: shopping inside a mall or a store might make it a little harder for them to grab and run. >> the problem they would have been the situation is a lot of people are around. there is a lot of people moving on with her theft ideas and most criminals don't want to do that. >> reporter: we saw lots of people putting down their bags and while we see someone in need of a break, shar gio nelson says? see opportunity. >> how tough would it be for someone who has got a little bit of jump in messed up to just run up there and grab those and be gone? you can see shadows of guys working by and her bag is to that chatter. so you -- so anyone could have easily distracted her. >> what we don't think about could be a signal to others. this man appears to be snapping a picture but what? see is a double opportunity. >> that guys just taking a picture and looking at something. >> he is taking a picture. it looks like you might have a credit card or somebody takes his phone, they take his phone and his credit card. >> that is pretty common now. >> people do for the convenience. >> reporter: when it comes to convenience, sergeant nelson says nothing is more convenient than a parking lot. and while it's better to put closer and under lights, sometimes we don't have a choice. >> there working to a further point of the parking lots and are together but she has her purse. >> she does. but again, safety in numbers. the real risk is when you go out to your car and you put your bags in your car and you go back to your shop. >> you wouldn't do that? >> if it's in plain sight it doesn't take anything to break somebody's window and get in it. some of the suvs have little covers for that back area. >> do you think that deters them? >> absolutely. >> reporter: it's easy, it's fast and sergeant nelson says it doesn't really come with enough consequences. >> voters have essentially decriminalized theft in california under $1000 so the risk for reward is certainly there for them. >> so if somebody steals from you, what could they get? >> it's a misdemeanor now. you might spend the night in jail. that's it. that's why you're seeing this rash of car break-ins in san francisco and oakland and a lot of places. there is no punishment for that crime anymore. the old days you would get 30 or 60 days, or if you kept doing it, six months in the county lockup. >> so in the mind of a criminal, you are trying to do whatever you can to get stuff with the least possible consequence. >> the least consequence and chance of getting caught. >> claudine wong reporting. it just takes a second to get distracted. >> it absolutely does and so important to be aware of your surroundings. it's very easy to get caught up on your phone. that's when you make yourself a target. >> that's when
