takes placeints and photograph the person s signature just so the application can be processed for proper hearing. and the appointment was set the very day after thanksgiving. and, so, mr. bruno along with his pastor and church friends and community went to the facility, along with his son, and as he filled out the paperwork, that s when plainclothes members of the ice team entered the room, tackled the man, took him to the ground, put him in a van and were ready to deport him to mexico. the van was surrounded by the church members who stand in solidarity with him as well as the two of us that represent that area in congress. and we are going to continue to insist that deferred action be granted to this man based on humanitarian reasons and the fact he has been law-abiding and in the country now for two and a half years. let me go to you because you again were pivotal in getting
it is certainly true that one of the issues the republicans would not allow us to investigate when they were running the committee, and i don t think congress has looked into this at all and i don t know that bob mueller has, is whether the russians had been laundering money through the president s businesses and this is the financial hold the russians may have. we need to get an answer and tell the american people, yes, it s true, no, it s not. the american people deserve to know that the president has their interests in mind, not his pecuniary interests. the incoming chairman of the house intelligence committee is telegraphing what he wants to look into once democrats take over in january. it s another investigation that s sure to set off donald trump since it potentially deals with his businesses. of course, it comes about a week after trump resorted to make fun of schiff s name on twitter. a judge has denied george
master of congress at work. it s interesting that this fight against nancy pelosi was simply on the basis of how long she was there. her number two steny hoyer has been there just as long and there was never any sense that the men who were just below her in leadership should go. seven leadership positions. the only one that this core said give us new blood was only her. you know what, joy, an added point, let s look at her counterpart in the senate. chuck schumer who i respect and admire, but he lost seats. no one s talking about him stepping down as leader of the democrats in the senate at all. that s true. i ll throw this to the panel. people see the speaker of the house and have been conflating the speaker of the house with the leader of the party and they re leader of the caucus. they ll lead the 240 people. she clearly knows them very well. do you want what marsha fudge needed to happen, she made that happen, she knew how to mollify
caucus wants and needs. her focus is the caucus, not her own political viability and the other thing is this is really more important here why she should be the next speaker and why she won the week. we have a budget deal the government s about to run out of money and probably will continuing resolution into when she becomes a speaker. we have a debt ceiling crisis that they ll have to face in the coming weeks and then the third and most important thing is we don t know if/when robert mueller is going to hand down this report and what it says. and if the special counsel comes back and recommends that congress should draw up articles of impeachment, that is no time for amateur hour. that is time for a leader who knows the house, knows how it works, and has been through stuff like this before. and so she s won the week this week. she s going to keep winning the week until she officially gets the votes to be a speaker and then we get to watch a true
also the fact that you picked aoc as winning the week. it seems to be that nancy pelosi has cultivated a really smart mutually beneficial relationship with the woman who is arguably the big star of the incoming caucus. absolutely. from what we understand, she has gone out of her way to make sure that aoc is going to get what she wants. we believe a select committee on climate change. yes. after she gets sworn in. nancy pelosi is the master at this and normally, you know, people don t complain about age, looks or clothing unless we are talking about a woman. yes. and i m glad to see that we re finally getting to a point in time where people are going to really understand and look at everything that nancy pelosi has done for this congress and what she is going to do. i think she s going to go down in history as one of the greatest leaders, male or female, that we will ever see in the united states congress. third in line to the presidency. jonathan s answer incorporated all
