Keep saying, oh, if i take you out to dinner and i pay for your tab, isnt that a gift? no, its not. >> okay, i got a lot of friends. luxurious vacations, private jets. with menendez in a position to lobby government officials to help this guys business. come on now. >> yeah, well, the thing is the prosecutors do have a high burden. they have to show was this quid pro quo. and we had a recent supreme court decision last year where they narrowed that definition and said that official acts have to ...

Doesnt want this delayed. heres the thing, just from a pure legislative standpoint. weve never gotten any indicator and here we are a year since he was elected, nine months since hes been in office that donald trump is a good negotiator when it comes to any legislation. we dont know what they need for the house or the house change and what they need for the senate. they dont have incentive to do something this radical before next years elections and thats fundamentally the problem. unless hes ha...

Actually holds a senate seat? >> right, roy moore has been saying incendiary things for the known decade, sort of the known commodity. a lot of republicans here on capitol hill did not want to see him in the u.s. senate seat. almost every republican on capitol hill backed luther strange whos been sitting in that seat since jeff sessions was called up to the justice department. so they wanted another guy. they may still be stuck with roy moore, but i have not seen up here any reaction quite so sw...

Colleges who offer scholarships to kids will now be taxed for trying to provide an education for regular people. thats just one area. this bill politically is a killer for next year. every single republican who will possibly vote on any version of this is going to get hit in 2018 midterms. >> we know there are blowback in some things, the adoption tax credit for example. you saw that the house and the senate were in agreement. what other areas could they be in agreement that yes, when gary cohen...

Party and the countrys most liberal newspaper would come up with a fabrication of this kind. this garbage is the very definition of fake news and intentional defamation. well, it can hardly come at a worst time for moore or his party. polls indicate hes leading doug jones in the special election for alabama senate seat and election day is just 32 days away. this morning, white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders issued this statement from air force one. take a listen. >> like most ameri...

Jeopardy as dozens of republicans, including the president, make it clear, if the allegations are true, moore must step down. i have a very good team this morning. but first i want to explain exactly what were talking about. its confusing. a new report from "the washington post" alleges that back in 1979, moore befriended a 14-year-old girl, lee corkman, while he was working as a district attorney in alabama. cochran says on at least two occasions, the two kissed and on one occasion, he took off...

The average of the polls there has him up about eight points. i think the most recent poll i saw in alabama had him up by something like is 11. there just arent enough for his opponent to win on a democratic surge of his own. what happens now if roy moore wins this race still, which he very well could. his campaign is leaning into this, slamming the paper, calling it depham toeshgs even using these accusations to raise money for his campaign. so theres no indication that moores getting out of th...
