Didnt Comport News Today

Then when it comes to the closing arguments, what stuck out to me from maxwells attorney. she said shes being tried here for being with jeffrey epstein and maybe that was the biggest mistake of her life, but it was not a crime. so they are trying to distance maxwell from epstein. is that even effective? >> i dont think it will be here. this is a we call the empty chair defense when you have some other figure sort of looming over the trial. the prosecutions argument is she was his right hand. she...

Longer -- either something changed over the course of today that the navy got word about this review process that didnt comport with their understanding and that was the break, or mr. spencer clearly didnt have the same understanding that other navy officials had in terms of their ability to move forward. i have to think that if they felt they could move forward with this processes there would be no reason for him to throw down the way he did. also, theres a little bit of a difference in the way...

Honorable man that has right values and standards and wants to do the right thing. believes in the truth and telling it. thats precisely what he did at the hearing before the senate intelligence committee recently and he said some things which, by the way, he wasnt making that up but he was representing the coordinated views of the entire intelligence community when he says that north korea is not going to give up its nuclear weapons and isis has not been defeated, thats right. and iran is in co...

Know, well, thats a false narrative obviously. i guess, keir, you could say did democrats have the night on tuesday we hoped for? no. did democrats have the night we expected? yes. took back the house, won important governor races in the midwest. won republican senate seats in montana, nevada and arizona. i think it was a very good night. look, i think obviously tuesday night was sort of the first salvo of the 2020 campaign. clearly the president has big platform and hes going to continue to use...

Government, and has a security clearance. it does not take away from what this woman is willing to say in a sworn statement about her conduct. she deserves to be heard by someone. the question is who? can this committee have a vote without putting her under oath, without having any kind of investigation, is that fair to brett kavanagh who may become a supreme court justice, that every time he makes a decision, the supreme court just whos under a cloud of sexual assault allegations? >> the proble...

Youre his boss. did you ever speak to him about that? about him being terrible at running the fbi and the fbi being in turmoil? the fbi agents, the rank and file being against him? you were his boss. did you ever raise it with him? no. never. not once. no, we never spoke of it. i never brought it up. so that is one of their attempted explanations for this remarkable thing they did. one of their attempted explanations for why the president fired the fbi director is that he was bad at running the ...

Does not make sense. it does not make sense in part given how people like the attorney general talked about that behavior by james comey when it happened. >> you know, the fbi director comey did the right thing when he found new evidence. he had no choice but to report to the american congress where he had under oath testified the investigation was over. he had to correct that and say this investigation is ongoing now. and im sure its significant or he wouldnt have announced that. >> he did the ...

Remarkable thing. why he had to fire the fbi director. one of the other explanations theyve tried on was that james comey had to be fired because he mishandled the resolution of the whole clinton e-mails thing during last years campaign. since the firing of james comey, the white house and attorney general jeff sessions today have tried to claim that they found james comeys statements about the clinton e-mail investigation to be so super egregiously inappropriate, so shockingly bad that thats wh...

Tried to bring it back today but he had no explanation why his own behavior didnt comport with that version of events. one might reasonably surmise that that purported explanation for comey being fired has now been exhausted. but dont worry. they have a couple others. they have also tried another story to purportedly explain why the president had to do this remarkable thing. why he had to fire the fbi director. one of the other explanations theyve tried on was that james comey had to be fired be...
