Include possible coconspirators. What youre watching is the cover of that page of the indictment if we can put that up on the screen. That would be great. Here with more, we go back to Law Professor and fox news computer jonathan turley. Jonathan, im looking at that. If youre looking at the document that made it to the media talking about ten specific indictments. How do you read it as your background as the great Law Professor that you are . Youre talking about ten indictments, it has not profile of a racketeering case. Thats where willis gained her fame as a local prosecutor. You often will have large numbers of people linked in a conspiracy. To make out that case you have to esta conspirators. Few crimes are on a predicate crime list, the basis for racketeering charges. In this case theyre likely to use crimes like fraud and combine all these ago force in a large comprehensive conspiracy. Thats the most likely thing here. The problem is not that racket, the rico statutes were design
thanks for being here. i m stephen romo in for yasmin today. it s a busy final day of 2023. just hours before the ball drops, the security is tight in new york s times square. celebrations are set to get underway, despite the heightened threat environment, following the october 7th attack on israel. we are live on the scene with the latest. of course, in many parts of the world, it is already 2024. we will show you the sights and sounds and the hopes so many have for the new year. meanwhile, tensions are high across the red sea at this hour, as the u.s. navy sinks three houthi boats and downed ballistic missiles fired from houthi controlled areas. we will have more on that. legal action in donald trump s world is not stopping. we will reveal that question special counsel jack smith has for an appeals court that took more than 80 pages to ask. and we begin this hour with a countdown to the new year. up to 1 million people are flocking to times square to witness new yor
angle from washington tonight. thank you,s as always, for being with you gos. university of destruction, the focus of tonight s angle. colleges, universities spend a lot of time raising money and work to appeal to the donors, to alums and perspective students by talking about their mission and their core values. those three propel us into the future. laura: a commitment to excellence? no one who saw her testify last week or watched harvard for the last 20 plus years can say that, the best lose out to mediocre at harvard and elsewhere because diverse is not good enough. i m the person always looking beyond the horizon to what is coming and what can be and ready the campus and campus community for the future. laura: doing this does not make it less gibberish, it is milk/toast language written by consultants and ms. gay didn t think her diversity eequity and inclusion prepares for the real world. it fosters resentment that makes harvard students less likely to suc
