felonies against ahmaud arbery. they have to somehow justify their actions by claiming citizens arrest. i ll remind you once again evidence from the witness stand, they never, ever said on february 23rd, 2020, that they were doing a citizens arrest or trying to arrest him. it was all, we wanted to stop, we wanted to question him about what he was doing because he must have committed a crime that day and we were going to hold him so the police could go back and figure out what crime it feels that he must have xhipted because he was running down the street. citizens arrest. the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge. if the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping, a private person may arrest him. so what are they going to do? oh, i m sorry. i forgot to tell you this. a private person may not act on
conference. we heard about plastic straws. we heard about the congresswoman, we heard about china. but we also heard about iran. can you tell me what is the white house working on in terms of a response? well, the white house appears to have an inconsistent message at this point. you heard the president hipted that at one point he said iran is going to work out great, it s going to be fine. in another moment he said iran is in big trouble right now. it s hard to square those two things. now the president didn t necessarily amp up his rhetoric. he gave a tour of what he thinks is the situation inside of iran. that is an economy is cratered. that s bolstered by the facts. the president gave us a little something new there that iran is bringing some of its troops back home. that s an indication that the president thinks he has iran on the ropes. and we also heard him talk repeatedly about these attacks on the four congresswomen of color known as the squad. jeff, it sounds like he s do
investigating john brennan and his ties to the clinton bought and paid for dossier. the same committee is looking into whether brennan xhipted perjury when he testified under oath like his buddy mccabe who as he claims to have no idea who paid for that dossier. the post also reporting that john brennan briefed members of congress including former democratic senator harry reid about the phony dossier. if you remember, reed put out a statement after meeting with brennan, before the election, and referenced the dossier. brennan told him. brennan is dirty, political and corrupt as they come. now lashing out because we re all finding out who he really is. we have more breaking news to tell you about. the house intel committee has put an end to this russia investigation, 14 months, and they will have a vote to release to the public the republican members final report. the house intel committee realized a summary of the key findings. here are the highlights. after 14 months, interviews with
it s a witch hunt. trump says the same things publicly about russia that he says privately. as you know, there are two rules in washington especially during times like this. rule one, never lie to the feds. and rule two is, re-read rule one. so having said that, when you hear about this advice from the counsel people have hired, the people around donald trump, present and former, this is not a time for loyalty. this is a time for honesty. i m guessing that rings not only true to you, but sounds like good advice. it does, but on the other hand, it seems like unnecessary advice. weren t these people raised right? don t they know not to lie? do they need a lawyer to tell them that? even if they go ahead and lie, they may think they will get pardoned by the president. he certainly has hipted at that. that s not going to save their reputation. they still will be guilty. they still will have committed a federal offense.
