Meek Question News Today

Premiums for such people, but make it totally unavailable. and i think this is a lie that the republicans have to answer to. the chumps in the republican conference who switched their vote because of this amendment need to be held accountable. and taking a vote before you had the cbo score at all is just the height of irresponsibility. and it offends me as a republican, as someone who believes in governance, that they would play these games on issues of such importance to the american people. it...

For why he had to come out and address leaders in congress to tell them, no, actually weve come across new things. >> i just want to be clear about this document. it purports -- its a russian intelligence report in which the russians say they have seen an e-mail that theyve acquired. >> thats how its described to us, yes. >> right. that says that debbie wasserman shilts is saying and writing to someone, oh, dont worry about the probe. weve been assured by lynchs people that theyre not going to d...

Jennifer, have you ever heard of such a thing in your time in politics? >> this is absolutely stunning. first of all, that he would be threatened apparently by a meek question you heard on the audio, a very politely posed question. and there are ways of manner in which candidates say i dont want to talk to you or, as he initially did, go talk to my communications guy or scram. but to physically accost someone, throw them down on the floor, potentially injure them -- what is wrong with this man? ...

Once again, today "the new york times" and "washington post" with big new scoops about the trump administration. the times reporting that top russian officials discussed how to influence trump aides last summer. much more on that in a bit but to the post report which centers on did former fbi director james comey get fooled into going rogue in the campaign by a fake russian intelligence document? officials say the document played a big role in comeys decision to make a public statement about the...

Congressional election tomorrow appears to have, according to ben jacobs, a reporter for "the guardian," assaulted that reporter when he asked him a question about the cbo score. here is the audio. take a listen. >> the cbo score because you know youve been waiting to make your decision about health care until you you saw the bill, and it just came out. >> we will talk to you about that later. >> i was just curious -- >> speak with shane, please. im sick and tired -- the last time you did the sa...

Cutting pell grants, cutting nutrition programs, very politically unplafopular. but on the other hand, they have unlimited sums of money from the billionaire class behind them to go after -- democrats go after anybody who stands in their way. >> so heres a question then politically in terms of where this goes next. weve had a hard time finding republican whos will talk about the trump budget and defend it. its not politically popular. you have republican colleagues of yours in the senate saying ...

Numbers, have gotten to learn about the ahca, the republican alternative, have learned how this would all work, it is actually working, i think, very substantially to the republicans disadvantage. i think youre going to see a lot of republicans running away from this bill and running away from these kinds of changes. >> jennifer, the significance to me of this being a question about the cbo score that prompts this response, i mean, you know, he does not want to answer a question about the cbo sc...

So it is a state, at present, they have elected democrats. it will be interesting to see how the voters respond to this tomorrow. >> i would also note, and not to link what gianforte did to what the actual topic was. but this was a question about the cbo score of the ahca, and the ahca has been a central part of this campaign. and gianforte has essentially tried to be neutral on it. he said he was withholding judgment, which to me, steve, shows the kind of political -- if the public running the ...

The fbis lap. then the question is the discussions that happened in trying to determine what the intelligence value of that document is. what we learned is that by august, they had determined that it was unreliable, that it is not something that should have been counted on in any way because unreliable is a fairly straight assessment of the lack of reliability of the information therein. we found out several months later this was part of the explanation for why he made the decision in early july...

Assessment, the document was bad intelligence and accordipossible sent to confuse the bureau. joining me now, karoun demirjian. this is a little complicated so i want to sort of walk through this. comey at some point, theyre deciding how to deal with this investigation and how to deal with lynch. and fbi gets this document that you report on that says what? >> its analysis by russian intelligence. it says that there is this e-mail as you explained just a minute ago from debbie wasserman schultz ...
