Page 10 - Greg Sergeant News Today

Its been a busy news day and even busier news night, including that new reporting from ackerman at "the daily beast" about the trump administrations behavior toward russia that could be construed as potentially trying to pay russia back for their help with the election. but on that subject is where we got the really big news today courtesy of california senator diane feinstein. last night we reported on the possibility some democrats in the senate were considering extreme measures to try to get ...

H.r.mcm h.r.mcmaster is about to leave after he proposed removing u.s. troops? its been a busy news day and night including the reporting about the trump administrations behavior toward russia that could be construed as potentially trying to pay russia back for their help with the election. but on that subject is where we got the really big news today courtesy of california senator diane feinstein. last night we reported on the possibility some democrats in the senate were considering extreme me...

That is how those tapes finally made their way to the public. in this case, these transcripts, they already belong to congress. this fight to get the transcripts released is not some fight between branches of government. its not some constitutional question. its a political question of democrats who know whats on those transcripts wanting those transcripts released and republicans who know whats on those transcripts wanting them kept under wraps. if greg sergeants reporting at the "washington po...

Moved. his office said there is no plan to release the transcripts any time soon. question newly is how far are democrats willing to go to get the transcripts on the record? greg sergeant of the washington post reports today that democrats are considering pulling a mike gravel pentagon paper stunt and they may think of ways to read these documents, read this transcript into the public record thus making it publicly available even as the committee chooses to not formally release it. could that co...

And this is newly relevant today because greg sergeant at the "washington post" reports today that democrats in the senate right now are considering trying to do something like that again. now, this time it is not dozens of volumes and thousands of pages of the pentagon papers, this time its a transcript from the russia investigation. this weekend these billboards went up in des moines, iowa -- "senator grassley release the fusion gps transcripts." iowa is the home of chuck grassley whos the cha...

This fight to get the transcripts released is not a fight between branchs of government and not a constitutional question, its a political question of democrats who know whats on those transcripts wanting them released and republicans who know whats on those transcripts wanting them kept under wraps. if greg sergeants reporting at the washington post today is right and senators are considering pushing this to the hilt pulling a mike gravel here, they will have a hard time of it. when mike gravel...

Doesnt target black folks. this is a moment where we also have to think about the ways in which weve often said that athletes are apathetic. in a moment where they sort of take a stand, to me it doesnt make much sense that the president has taken the opportunity to demonize him. if you look at his regard on twitter in terms of who he attacks and who he doesnt attack, even when folks attack him, you can see its racially construed. the evidence is clear on that. >> if i might piggyback. the presid...

Team. the number of voters in florida, wisconsin, pennsylvania, ohio, a strong view of president trump drops from 35 percent in april to 2 t9% now. among republicans that also dropped from 54% to 45%. white house senior adviser kellyanne conway acknowledged the presidents support may be slipping. she blamed it on the fiction of the russia investigation. >> his approval rating among republicans and conservative trump voters is down slightly. it needs to go up. they are telling him just enact your...

But all of these -- some of these good things that are happening are going to get completely overwhelmed by this lies and delegitimatizing scrutiny every time trump attacks the media. >> i think some are not as dumb as they think they are when they make charges at media and news organizations while, at the same time, saying things that are blatantly untrue. i could be wrong but i dont think i am. >> that super pac that you just laid out is the latest example of a progressive and democratic left ...
