Because you did not want that to be used as leverage. that is no longer working which is why youre coming public comment is that right? >> i would say was the recommendation of everybody we talk too early on in the case. we were really hoping for leniency and we are hoping to not make him an asset. but clearly the russians have done that. they are clearly targeting him because he is an american. they have given him this egregious sentence that is way beyond proportion to the crime. until we now ...

Loophole. but she got her way. >> i think no one was particularly surprised that sinema wanted changes to this package. we reported that she was feeling frustrated and she felt out of the loop when manchin and schumer announced they had reached this deal. its not entirely surprised. she did get the carried interest loopholes taken out of the package and she added money for drought resiliency. its a sign of the fact that she told schumer she would no go along with this package if some of the prov...

The news about britneys detainment broke, that this is about the war in ukraine. i have no doubt that a week before russia invaded ukraine for the second time, russia did not know that it was going to do that. so we think about britneys case, and have to emphasize this because her earlier case of the people that we will mention on social media by the americans who have been detained, who have been tried, or caught doing the same thing, we havent got as much prison time about no prison time. brit...
