prosecutors up in new york say he deserves years in jail. all of this is a week before a judge will sentence cohen for all the above. let s look at the latest in the mueller filing. bob mueller says he is not taking any position on how much time michael cohen should serve, but he knows that cohen first came into his office and lied to them. not just about anything, but specifically about money. now then mueller says in the new filing that we just
can wrap your arms around it. that unknown contributes to that apprehension. lot of people aren t really familiar with san bruno if they are another town but your mall here is set up right next to the bart station. and that is why it may have been easy for someone to get on board bart. yeah and it is not uncommon. our police station is located close to the station as well. and when we thefts or other crimes at the mall it is not uncommon for these people the go to bart. so we know that is an avenue for them. it is not uncommon for those types of things to happen with your more day to day type of criminal activity. can we talk with the fire chief. would you tell us about the victims and what they are doing and how? responded at the request of p.d. for a shooter. updated information included multiple victims. ultimately additional resources were asked. we had a second alarm and declared a mci, a mass casualty incident. a total of four ambulances were dispatched as well.

gotcha! sorry. [laughter] i wanted to ask you about public confusion, connected with attorney general barr s release of your report. i will be coding you are in march 27th letter. sarah, in that letter and at several other times did you convey to the attorney general that the introductions and executive some summaries accurately i have to say the letter itself speaks for itself. and those were your words and that? continuing with your letter, you are to the attorney general that the summary letter the department sent to congress and released to the public late in the afternoon of march 24th did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office s work and conclusions. is that correct? again, i rely on the letter itself for its terms. thank you.
what was it about the reports context, nature, substance that the attorney s letter did not capture? i think we captured that in the in the march 27th responsive letter. this is from the letter.
so, you know, as claire was saying, there are so many more substantive allegations now including this misuse and abuse of a highly classified intelligence community computer network system. and for people to say that this didn t fall under the dni s purview is wrong. the dni is responsible for maintaining the integrity of those systems. and if it is being used to cover up political corruption, that requires an investigation. and whether or not the senior official was asked to hide that material inside that computer system. so i do think that donald trump and his associates are in a heck of a lot more political trouble right now than they were 48 hours ago because of the substantive flow of these allegations coming through,
again all reinforcing the theme that this is a corrupt white house that will stoop to doing anything in order to prevail in elections as well as to cover their krucht trackcorrupt track. weigh in on the idea that president trump took all of the conduct detailed
