Because not pushing back never works. And pushing back sometimes does. For example, it seems to have worked tonight to stop the Trump Administration from stealing your mailbox. From literally snatching your local mailbox off that corner in your neighborhood where it has been forever. You may have seen some of these pictures this week of trucks going around, flatbed trucks with a whole bunch of our mailboxes piled up in the back as workers unbolt them from the sidewalk, remove them, put them in a truck and drive them away. Theyve been going around unbolting these things and taking them. But apparently as of tonight they are going to stop doing that, at least for now, at least until after the election. Because of the pushback theyve had against it. And this is important as a matter of principle and i think in terms of understanding where were at as americans. Its also like a substantively interesting and important part of this ....
Outset that a federal judge ruled recently that the u. S. Justice department under attorney general william barr basically concocted a false pretext to lock Michael Cohen back up in prison when the real reason that they locked him back up in prison was specifically to try to stop him from publishing this book. I mean, you know, note to corrupt Law Enforcement figures of the future, or the present. If youre going to jail someone to try to stop their book from coming out, you better, a, succeed, or b, prepare yourself for the fact that in taking that kind of swing at somebody, you have just made a lot more people want to read that book. If for no other reason than to figure out why the president s attorney general would go through these kinds of acrobatics, illegally, according to a federal judge, to try to make sure this never saw the light of day. Boy, is there no better way ....
But susan rice had gone through the vetting process multiple times before for administration jobs. And so she was completely accustomed to the way it works. Yes. And for her to say, listen, i was vetted twice for cabinet level positions, like i thought i knew what this was like, i thought i had been through it, and this was way more rigorous than anything i had previously been through, thats a person who speaks from a position as you say of knowledge of how these things are supposed to go. Not somebody who can be easily shocked about what a vet is like. But in this case she seems to be bowled over for how thorough they are. Seems to be a vote of confidence for anyone rooting for the harris and Biden Campaign, wont be any surprises here. Yeah, and as of now it seems to be off to exactly the kind of launch they were hoping for. Thats exactly right. Yes. Thank you, rachel. Thanks, lawrence. Well, in a powerful debut of the democratic ....
Memoir. I think its helpful to note at the outset that a federal judge ruled very recently that the u. S. Justice department under attorney general william barr basically concocted a false pretext to lock Michael Cohen back up in prison when the real reason that they locked him back up in prison was specifically to try to stop him from publishing this book. I mean, you know, note to corrupt Law Enforcement figures of the future or the present. If youre going to jail someone to try to stop their book from coming out, you better, a, succeed or, b, prepare yourself for the fact that in taking that kind of swing at somebody, you have just made a lot more people want to read that book, if for no other reason than to figure out why the president s attorney general would go through these kinds of acrobatics, illegally according to a federal judge, to try to make sure this never saw ....
Hi there. Im Stephanie Ruhle live from nbc news headquarters in new york city. It is thursday, august 20th. Lets get smarter. Tonight is the night. We are just 12 hours away from the grand finale of the dnc when joe biden will officially accept his partys nomination for president. Last night, it was his running mate Kamala Harris who took center stage, an historic moment. The first woman of color ever to take her place on a major party ticket. You are pushing us to realize the ideals of our nation. Pushing us to live the values we share. Decency and fairness, justice and love. We have a chance to change the course of history. Were all in this fight. You, me and joe. Together. The other big speaker last night, the warmup act, was former president obama who waited until this convention to level some of his harshest criticism yet of donald trump. In fact, we may have never seen ....
