Lack of transparency. let me put up what the class-action suit from chicago, the attorney told us, "apples failure to inform consumers the updates would wreak havoc on the phones performance is being deemed purposeful. and if proven, constitutes the unlawful and decisive withholding of material information." i spoke to one attorney who told me, look, these lawsuits are very easy to file. weve seen four in the united states, even one from israel at this point. but they can be very difficult to wi...

>> back with us now, david gregory. lets start with the facts, okay? it is hard to justify what the president is saying here, david gregory. we now know that, in fact, the military failed to pass along material information that well could have kept this man from getting a gun. forget about extreme vetting, whatever that means in any context. just the ordinary vetting, had it been done properly, may well have kept him from getting the gun. how do we know? it did on a different level. he didnt get...

Northern district of alabama. and back with us, ken vogel. joyce vance, to this advice that lawyers are giving to trump staffers, dont lie for the president, whats your reaction to that? >> well, its awfully good advice, lawrence. because lying to a federal agent whose conducting an investigation is enough to get you your own personal ticket to federal prison. none of these witnesses want to be converted from witnesses to subjects or targets of this investigation. their best way of maintaining t...

The russian ambassador. this goes way, way back. so its a fair question to ask. if a united states marine or a cia officer or somebody else had filled out their sf 86 and completely left all of this material information off of that sf 86, this is the form you use to get a security clearance, that individual would not only have not received that security clearance, but theres a good chance that individual would have been fired from their job. so, you know, i think its important that we bear this ...

Certainly, but at the same time, i just think it is reckless and i continue to believe its reckless to suggest that sort of the crime of the century has been committed here and it is slowly evolving in front of our eyes. these are people that obviously should have kept better records and should have reported the first time the most accurate information they have. >> should have just told the truth or not have the meetings. >> yeah, not have the meeting. >> okay. >> i mean, taking trump jr., the ...
