Course this could not be a more important or timely conversation that we are going to have today since the death of george floyd m Police Custody last month we have seen National Wide unrest weve seen protests on only here in america but internationally. We have also seen a certain narrative take hold. It starts with the assumption that the only way to properly view george floyd is through a racial lens.

The cia came back to him and his publisher and said theres 339 passages here you have to delete because they are revealing National Security information. They went to court, they fought over, cia cut that number from 339 down to 168. In that the end of the day, 30. The publisher put out the book with white spaces for the 30, bold face for the 160 they caved on, and italic for the other. So theres an object lesson how subjective this can be. Thats the formal start of a review board process inside the intelligence community. But he did go through the review process . He did submit it before publishing the book . Guest rights. The case and went all way to the Supreme Court was a man named frank who did not submit his book. Thats what the judge is referring to the bolton case when he said hes risking losing his royalties. In 1980 the Supreme Court upheld the seizure of all of his royalties. His book advance, all of his royalty income. Because he did not give the book to the cia for review.

In 1980 the Supreme Court upheld the seizure of all of royalties. He did not give the book for review.

rejecting a special master. a filing that included this, a striking photo of highly classified documents found at mar-a-lago. among trump s arguments, an admission that there were classified documents there. but that was to be expected among presidential records. no big deal. and should not have triggered an fbi search. joining us now, legal analyst loni coombs. so nice to see you. thanks for getting up our staying up late for us. so lawyers for the former president, they are,ing that it is the justice department that is unchecked and that these highly classified documents stashed away at the president s resort are no big deal? yeah, this is a really interesting reply brief. it was supposed to be a reply to all of the very strong arguments that were made by the department of justice in their response to this request for a special master. but instead it really read more like a pr statement, you know, going after the fbi and the doj as usual saying that they are unchecked and
Gentlemen. I am glad to take your questions. This you think that at point, our force levels in vietnam will begin to level off . Or do you think more troops may be needed in the future.
