there s also the development of george papadopoulos and he requesting for his sentence, serving of his sentence to be delayed here, karen. that just coming out. so we are hearing, or it s being reported. and that brings up a follow along question, bagssed on the mueller investigation itself and considering its constitutionality, put those two together for me. it was interesting because there s a lot of pressure right now to wrap it up. it s been going on for 18 months, we re starting to now hear about the amount of money that it s costing. so any delay with papadopoulos or anything else, a lot of times you ll say to yourself, why is it being delayed, is there some kind of a deal, is there information, are they waiting for the answers to the questions to match them up. when you re answering interrogatory questions or asking a person for information, here, lots of people have speculated that mueller has lots of information and even trump himself had said i don t want to put myself in a
but it didn t take very long to do them. they were my answers. i don t need lawyers to do that. you need lawyers for submittal, you need lawyers to go over the answers but they re not very difficult questions. karen de soto joins us, defense attorney, and mark zade an attorney focussing on national security. that statement that the president said i d wrote it all, i did it myself, that s a double edged sword, isn t it? no. when you do interrogatory answers, you tell your clients to give it a stab and you review it with them. i would expect him to say something like that. i think the reasoning behind him saying it is a little bit different like i don t have my attorneys doing it, i m the president of the united states and i m doing these questions myself. i think that s the point he was trying to get across but don t think for a second that those questions are not going to be pulled apart, reviewed by his attorneys and if they see something that s wrong, of course they re going to c
two words over the last two years. karen de soto, and mark zade appreciate your time. anytime. new information in the murder of jamal khashoggi. the white house is responding to reports from nbc news and others that the cia has concluded the saudi crown prince ordered khashoggi s killing. that s according to a person briefed on that cia assessment. nbc s lucy kafanov is in london with the details. there s been a lot of back and forth between reporters and the trump administration over the cia assessment. the president first told reporters he wasn t briefed on the assessment but added this. take a listen. as of this moment, we were told that he did not play a role. we re going to have to find out what they have to say. they have been a truly spectacular ally in terms of jobs and economic development, and i also take that, being president, i have to take a lot of things into consideration. now, the state department later seemed to try to down play
way we only ever stop these people. i want to play a little bit, then you can react here. these are two current justices that were speaking on friday, justices that some on our panel know quite well. let s play sotomayor and kagan. this is a divine team, people thinking of the court as not politically divided, as not an extension of politic. we have to rise above partisanship in our personal relationships. we were talking about justice stevens on the lead up to the vote yesterday when we were covering that news story. your thought here, karen? they re saying that partisanship is there. they are missing now the theoretical independent vote is what they re alluding to since we do have a retired justice at the moment. the issues that we have discussed at stake, pregnancy, senators in abortion, rights and religion, trump s travel ban,
so the two major issues as our justice correspondent pete williams laid out for us a couple weeks back that might number front of brett kavanaugh and this new court that is the most conservative as we just noted in some eight decades, one is gamble versus the united states. second is gundy versus the united states. karen, let s start with gamble versus the united states. describe why this might be important to the everyday american. yoobviously you don t want t get tried for the same crime twice which makes the united states internationally where double jeopardy zadoesn t attac. i know that most people are saying with gorsuch and kavanaugh, because kennedy was the swing vote, that they were hoping that kavanaugh and
