Page 9 - Passing Reference News Today

Activities. and tonight, new york prosecutors from the d.a.s office subpoenaing this bank in chicago, run by a campaign adviser th adviser. and thats all just the law enforcement stuff. we also learned last week in the "the new york times," almost in a passing reference, their big story on the trump tower meeting with donald trump jr. and paul manafort and jared kushner and all of those russians, the par ren thet kl reference, paul manafort had disr discussed that meeting with congressional inve...

Have not heard this story before. its just that it rhymes with a lot of the other stories we have heard about paul manafort. in mid june we learned that the fbi was looking into paul manaforts real estate deals in southern california. in april we learned that a federal grand jury subpoenaed paul manaforts bank records. in march, richard engel reported that the attorney general of the nation of cypress had been asked to hand over information about paul manaforts offshore banking activities. to in...

But that could be difficult. the government is empty, so theres a lot of hearings that have to be done in the senate. and if actions begin on the big tax cut that is the real desire of republican voters, again, the clock gets very, very hard. if you now send this thing to some kind of conference for a lot of talk, you could miss the moment. and there are not many of those moments left. >> joy, the president made only a passing reference to the witch hunt in washington without getting too specifi...

The shouting down of protesters and the spontaneous chant of "lock her up," when he brought up the clintons. while it took him away from the russia investigation, there was just a passing reference to what he referred to as a witch hunt. no mention of fighting back against russias attack and ongoing threat to our election system. >> we are making such incredible progress. we are making progress like nobody can believe. these people are being driven crazy. crazy. i mean, they have phony witch hun...

Both the house and the senate when theyre at that halfway point. >> well, the house has the option of simply passing the senate bill whole, which is what happened to the affordable care act in 2010. that could happen that paul ryan may not want to go through all of this again because the clock is getting very unforgiving. we have a recess of congress on the 31st of july. i suppose that could be changed, but that could be difficult. the government is empty, so theres a lot of hearings that have t...

Perjury. if it not under oath, it was misleading to law enforcement. however, it depends on the nature of the conversation. did they discuss exclusively about the sanctions or was it in general to the 35 expelled diplomats? of his the latter, then it really is in the crime. if flynn interpreted it differently than the fbi, then there is no crime. if the length of the conversation is really importan important. if it was just a passing reference, then that lends credibility to flynns claim that he...

Reaction from the audience, republican side of the aisle, about iran. im sure hell get it to a certain degree, but this may add to the raucous nature of the republican response, when he mentions that deal as an achievement in his administrati administration. >> michael, are you surprised? earlier david gergen was saying hes got to talk about the sailors. >> i think hell be derelict in his duty if he doesnt make a passing reference to it. i understand that in the scheme of things it might not war...

Bit too aggressive without knowing what the unintended consequences might be. yes, we could get rid of saddam hussein, but that destabilize the entire region. yes, we could get rid of gadhafi, a terrible dictator, but that created a vacuum for isis. >> and the reason that matters is that throughout the evening, shannon, we heard the candidates talk about isis in iraq and syria. but really thats chapter one and theyve already moved on to chapter two. chapter two, based on our reporting, is in afr...

Commitment to go after isis, which is a danger to us as well as the region. >> at times it felt like a two-person debate. but of course former maryland governor martin omalley was on stage and his effort was to get attention and offer a contrast. >> let our lust for regime toppling get ahead of the practical considerations for stability in that region. the big failings in that region is a lack of human intelligence. >> reporter: there was no mention of the clinton e-mail controversy, no mention ...
