reform. sources tell nbc that the draft legislation currently making the rounds does not end qualified immunity for individual officers. but it adds four classes of criminal behavior that officers could face penalties for and inclusion senator tim scott says crossed his redline. with us now is nbc capitol hill news corrupt leeann. where do things stand at this hour? yeah, jeff, learning more about that criminal cullpability and why it is becoming a problem. democrats added the four classes of criminal activity where police officers could, in fact, be punished for and those include sexual misconduct, theft, obstruction of justice and excessive use of force. now, that is something that republicans thought was not going to be included in this draft legislation so when senator tim scott read it and it
deter. i think if people feel like they re going to be sanctions, they ve got some personal liability or cullpability and those are the types of things that serve to deter people from taking these actions to begin with. so, here s one thing that stood out, sean. there has been bipartisan condemination of the most recent leak we ve seen. the transcripts in the washington post that the conversation the president had with foreign leaders. aaron, you referenced it earlier, even democrats now, mark warner, for example, says as president of the united states, and governor. they tell us they have to be able to have confidential conversations and it s disgraceful those came out. he wants some xwhcommittee to l into it. we re seeing fallout from that leak. you know there was that conversation that he had with the mexican president in which president trump talked about paying for the border wall. politically he said he was going to be paying for it.
miss lerner said tea party conservatives were hit with extra scrutiny. now, all of a sudden, she takes the fifth and doesn t testify. same with eric holder. there is absolutely no cullpability in washington, d.c. over anything, no truth that will be found in this three ring dog and pony circus the morningmen perpetrate, it will make it worse. how do you characterize the doa investigation into this? not as hard working as the irs acts. here we go. you are never going to get audited, ever. we are close, the irs are trying to bring money as cheaply as possible. i don t think we want to know how this is made. just because they do stuff, it isn t ready to be aired publicly, it doesn t mean the white house told them to do it. let s be honest, there are tea party operations that have a thing to say about the irs.
president obama announcing reforms to limit nsa snooping. but, john, does it go far enough to protect individuals and businesses? no, virtually, there is very few limitations put on this. as a candidate, he says this would never happen, surprise, surprise, guys say whatever they have to, to get elected then they change when they re in office. you already have foreign companies saying they don t want to do business with american companies because of this at some point we have to reign this in, 206 million text messages a day they are gathering. this is absolutely out of control. sasha, too far? not far enough? not far enough. i think it was smart to put it out to congress and the intelligence committee and the okay to do what happens with the cullpability to everybody, but it also, hopefully, creates a better policy.
