States government, transition teams. our tax dollars are used to fund the transition team. obviously, robert mueller didnt get hold of those. i have never seen such arguments with executive privilege or the rest of it. i want to emphasize, the members of congress are going to be in serious trouble in the 2018 election if they keep behaving this way. i have been a republican 30 years, but we could lose both houses of congress very quickly. right now, they look like they are fronting for vladimir ...

Democrats really havent had a say about when theyd call witnesses. and now it really seems like the republicans are driving towards a potentially premature conclusion. in terms of firing mueller, obviously, rod rosenstein right now is the only person who can fire robert mueller. he says pretty clearly on the hill he doesnt see any reason to do that. if jeff sessions goes and donald trump brings in another attorney general, that person would presumably take back over the supervision of the russia...

Continues to develop nuclear weapons. a secretary tillerson has called for negotiations. earlier this week he said "we are ready to talk any time north korea would like to talk." and if this could happen, without preconditions. it is similar to comments he made during his trip to china back in october. now, president trump responded at the time that secretary tillerson wasnt wasting his time, trying to negotiate with "little rocket man." obviously, his nickname for a dictator kim jong-un. he app...

Custody. 45-year-old jose ines garcia zarate. prosecutors said this was an intentional shooting. but the defense maintained from the start that this was an accident. the defense had a few things going for them. first of all, the shot was a ricochet shot. so the shot that was fired travelled 12 feet and then traveled another 78 feet before hitting kate steinle. they made the argument, if you hadnt had this ricochet, kate would still be alive. the defense also established the fact that there was n...

Preside presidents adviser lying about what he told the fbi. we also have tenderhooks being shamed and pushed out and having shortly, unless thats canceled, lunch with the press secretary and the united states. how do we conduct foreign policy in this environment? >> its a washington obviously in disarray. foreign capitals have been watching with increasing concern the uncertainty in u.s. foreign policy. i think tillersons departure, which is coming, in a sense will stead steadty. mike pompeo to...

Confronted matt lauer and he did not deny it. that led to the process of him being fired. nbc also tells us that matt lauer was fired for cause, which implies he will not be paid out for rest of his contract but nbc news is not confirming that implication explicitly one way or the other. nbc is our parent company here. reporting on this story taking place in our own proverbial house as best as weve been able to report it out today. as far as i personally can tell, these are the open questions im...
