Things. He was a sailor. He was an aviator. He was a husband. He was a warrior. He was a prisoner. He was a hero. He was a congressman. He was a senator. He was a nominee for president of the united states. These are all the titles and the roles of a life that has been well lived. They are not the greatest of his titles. Nor the more important of his roles. He was a great man. We gather here to mourn the passing of american greatness, the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic apprehension of those who live lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served. The perfect illustration of john mccains civility and integrity is when he surprised president obama and bush asking them to speak at his funeral. These were the two men who on different occasions defeated mccain when he ran for president himself. So much of our politics, our public life, our Public Discourse can seem small and mean, and pe
His last several days attacked the attorney general and his threat which he retweeted on the storm last night. Our Justice Department and our fbi at the top of each because inside they have incredible people. Our Justice Department and our fbi have to start doing their job and doing it right and doing it now. Because people are angry. People are angry. Whats happening is a disgrace. At some point i want to stay out but at some point, it does not stay out properly. I will get involved and i will get in there if i have to. The whole world gets it. What the whole world gets seems to be Something Different than the message gives. 63 of the washington survey supports the mueller investigation, only 29 oppose it. Record high disapproval more on the president on the job. More on the revelation by one of the president s boogy man, bruce ohr. We got new reporting on what he said steele told him of how much leverage i should say, the russians believed they had over donald trump. The phrase he us
Produced by the mueller probe, and Donald Trumps emergency visit to texas to help ted cruz. I call him lying ted. All in starts right now. Donald, youre a sniveling cowar coward. Good evening, im chris says. Theres a reason the president of the United States has been waging an all out public war against an obscure career Civil Servant because that Civil Servant reportedly had information in the summer of 2016 that russian intelligence believed they had trump over a barrel. Unless you watch fox news, you probably dont know anything about him. Ohr spent a decades long career at doj prosecuting violent gangs and organized crime, developing a special focus on russian organized crime. And for those years since he first became a prosecutor 27 years ago, ohr was basically just a guy who went to work everyday doing his job investigating some pretty dangerous people on behalf of the u. S. Government. Until he ended up involved in the special counsels russia pro probe. Now, despite having been a
That was an unexpected turn. Well have more on that ahead tonight. Theres also some very provocative reporting from abc news. Abc has this, i need to tell you that nbc news has not verified it. But what abc is reporting tonight is that the president s Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, abc says that hes in talks with prosecutors about not just potentially pleading guilty to some of the felony counts that hes charged with in washington, d. C. For which hes expected to go on trial starting next week, but abc is reporting that hes in talks with prosecutors and the special counsels office about pleading guilty and potentially cooperating with the special counsels office, specifically against President Trump. Now, the reporting on that story has come from multiple news outlets and has been sort of building slowly over the past few days. As i say, abc has this one very provocative advance in that story that Paul Manafort is discussing with the special counsels office potentially flipping and
Our live coverage from houston starts now. Welcome to houston, texas, as you know, i mainly report from overseas, this time im here for a story thats both foreign and domestic. And yes it involves President Trump and russia. In particular, why is it that some of President Trumps most devoted supporters seem to like putins russia. Ive been twrafling in the states, i went to a gun show, i spoke to folks from the christian right. And what surprised me, even when they see all of the reporting about russias attempts to influence our election, and they know that every one of our intelligence agencies reported putin sent his trolls to influence our election. Their answer is, so what . When and why did some on the american right fall in love with putins russia. It did not happen by accident. It happened after russia launched a Concerted Campaign more than a decade ago to gain a foothold in american society. Tonight we have exclusive reporting, weve been investigating someone who lives right he
