The challenge further signaling protecting the right to vote will no longer be a priority of Justice Department, and its all based on a lie. And not a lie President Trump came up with. Rightwing conservatives have been raising a false alarm about socalled voter fraud for years, despite the fact that no credible evidence has ever been produced demonstrating that it is a real problem. Take the Trump Administrations attack on lgbt rights. These are lies, the lie that families led by a gay or lesbian couple dont provide a safe environment for children. The lie that allowing transgender people to use the appropriate bathroom opens the door to Sexual Assault. President trump didnt invent these lies, but he and his administration proudly repeat them. Take the attacks on science, especially climate science. We now have enough evidence to conclude that Climate Change is real and its manmade and it is a threat to our nations security and a threat to the planet. Defense secretary mattis knows thi
Want to know. Since then members of congress have wanted to know. Congressional oversight of intelligence is a recurring flash point in executive congressional relations. Our guests professor Laura Donahue of Georgetown Law School and mark from the Security Academy and John Hopkins University will explore the context to the current dustup between the senate and the c.

Everything has a history. Until the 1975, Church Committee, there was no congressional oversight. Despite the sensationalism of the committees rev lyingses the mandated reforms were moderate.

Well, good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. Day 832 of the trump administration. A full day, an explosive day on capitol hill, as attorney general barr defended the man who appointed him, defended his handling of the Mueller Report, to members of the senate. Well take you through the hearing in just a moment, but the latest news from today came tonight. Its about tomorrow. Barr has decided hes one and done, where hearings are concerned. He turned down house judiciary tomorrow. Hes not going to show. He didnt like the idea of getting questioned by the committees appointed lawyers in addition to members of congress on the committee, something the Committee Chairman said tonight shouldnt be up to him. The attorney general has a nerve to try to dictate, and the administration has a nerve to dictate our procedures, simply part of the administrations complete stonewalling of congress.
