Bob Mueller Process News Today

Four times more likely to be incarcerated for it. im hearing about women who are incarcerated and we still shackle pregnant women, we put children in solitary confinem t confinement, what other nations consider torture. there are so many other pressing concerns going on in this country that are worthy of talking about in forums like this that people rarely bring up to me the issue of impeachment. this is a process going on, and i know its concerning and sucking a lot of oxygen from the news, but...

Right, and they bust in there and they find out, what? oh, my goodness, testimony is going on, right? which is just par for the course. and by the way, this is all happening because we dont have an independent counsel law who would normally be doing this type of investigation out of the public view. and guess who wrote the rules for this process? john boehner and the republicans. so theyre following exactly the rules that the republicans laid out. so, the whole thing -- they hope that the viewer...

Gun violence and not just cow down to the nra? these are the issues and more that americans are concerned about in this presidential election, their economic well-being, their familys safety and security, their hopes for the future. thats what im talking about every single day out here and engaging on issues that really, really matter for the 2020 elections. and on a whole parallel process, this impeachment stuff is going on, which i think, again, getting some questions about it, but really, peo...

Impeachment inquiry legal. lets discuss that with josh letterman, national political reporter with nbc news. josh, welcome to you. give me your assessment of this ruling and how this could play out on capitol hill. >> yes, this is a big deal. lets start first, alex, with the immediate. now the investigators on the hill will have access to some of that grand jury material from the bob mueller process. now, thats not directly related to the ukraine matters from the last few months that house inves...

After isis potential revenue source. they dont want these oil fields to fall into the hands of isis and then provide them some sort of a money stream that they could then use to attack americans or the west. but whats interesting is a statement from a u.s. defense official about this deployment today said it was to keep the oil fields from falling into isis hands, but also other potential destabilizing actors. now, what we know about this area, derizor, is there are actually russian and syrian r...

We have to do this fairly, and we have to make the case and put the truth before the american people. >> from the testimonies, from the evidence thats been gathered so far, is there enough, in your mind, right now to draw up articles of impeachment against president trump? >> you know, i think that we have to make sure that we are following a process that puts the information in front of the american people. if and when we decide to draw up articles of impeachment, that will be after this is abl...
