so because they believe america brought the terror war on its own. the far left is very consistent. it s always america s fault. therefore, anything that weakus. these people drive much of the debate about torture. the cia controversy is similar to the anti-police movement we re seeing. that was ignited by the deaths of michael brown and eric garner. over the weekend there were a few well-planned demonstrations implying that american police and prosecutors do not value the lives of black citizens. in new york city, a college professor was arrested for attacking police. there is the attack. two nypd officers were injured in the melee. the man, eric linsker, teaches at the city college of new york and has been charged with assault on a police officer and insi inciting a riot among other
sing it out. mr. jackson is entitled to his opinion. and it would be interesting to see if he can defend it. but a far more serious question is, does new york city mayor bill de blasio distrust his o
well, if i might to make sure we are not making a mistake senator coops. it is my hope that if you are confirmed and we do make progress on bipartisan criminal justice reform that as attorney general you will carry out whatever legislative decisions might be made by this body. last let me say in my six years here in addition to not working on a number of bipartisan proposals on criminal justice reform you have repeatedly voted against congressional attempts to prohibit torture in the military on text or the interrogation context and to defend enhanced interrogation practices. are you clear now that our statutes prohibit torture and if the president were to rover yid that clear legal authority what actions would you take? on your previous question i would note the federal prison population has already dropped 10 or more percent and will drop
another 10,000 this year. what is happening now is reducing the federal population. this law only dealt with the federal prison popula
up i wa rather lose than win the way you guys did. no, you wouldn t, respectfully. do you think i ran a campaign where white supremacists were you did. do you think you could have had a decent message for the white working class voters? do you think this woman who has nothing in common with i m not saying over 200 counties that president obama won and donald trump just won? let s get into it. you guys are pathetic, that s a great line. kel kellyanne conway accused the clinton supporters of being losers. i can tell you re angry, but wow. #he s your president, how is that. a hundred times on tv, they re all here, maybe a thousand times, will he accept the election results? will you? will you ever accept the election results? will you tell your protesters he s their president, too? i m joined by casey hunt and
susan page, who were both there last night. and howard fein. the tenor of this thing, they usually sit around the swells from harvard and talk about the i
so we haven t had a chance to digest it. but the attorney general in his confirmation hearings was very clear with a one-word answer when asked by a senator whether he had contact with the russians in any way, shape, or form. he said no, period. no condition, no modification. so obviously that turns out to not be accurate there is no reason to believe that jeff sessions in the confirmation hearing was trying to hide something. he may simply have forgotten. but it does mean two things. number one, it adds to the incredible weight of evidence that the administration is not credible on these issues. remember a couple of weeks ago when we heard that michael flynn was talking to the russian ambassador simply to wish him merry christmas. and of course that turns out not to be true. and michael flynn is no longer national security adviser. so this white house has a very, very significant credibility problem. and it s with respect to attorney general sessions, what this means, and again, it
testify about michael flynn and russian ambassador kislayak. at today s briefing, sean spicer pushed back hard on the allegation and at one point the briefing kind of went off the rails when russia came up. listen. reporter: how does this administration try to revamp its image, 2 1/2 months in, you ve got this yates story today, you ve got other things going on, you ve got russia, you ve got wiretapping. no, we don t have that. regarding the allegations of capitol hill. i have said it from the day that i got here until whenever, that there is no connection. you ve got russia. if the president puts russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that s a russian connection. but every single person no, sean i appreciate your agenda here, but the reality is, no, hold on, at some point, report the facts. let s talk about the facts tonight, the facts about this
white house and those close to it and ties to russia. we want to show you a flowchart just so that everyb
week. you know, he has four basic options, martha. and it sounded like from his news conference today he might take two at the same time. let s look at those four options. one would be to appeal to a larger panel of the ninth circuit. it s called an en banc hearing. 11 judges picked randomly from the remaining 26 judges in the ninth circuit. he could appeal to the u.s. supreme court and he could try the case on its merits in district court. he seemed to suggest he would do that by saying that he will win eventually. the fourth option would be to rewrite the executive order. make it clear that legal permanent residents such as green card holders are not affected by the travel ban. the white house counsel tried to clarify that when it comes to enforcement. but it was after the fact. so, if the case goes back to judge robart, we know that a schedule could happen as soon as next week where we have briefs and judge robart as i said, in his ruling, in issuing the t.r.o. said it is likely t
question. why isn t adam schiff saying, yeah, let s go look at it? instead just like yesterday when he said he ll go look at it. let me finish. he was almost about to sign the invitation for comey to come testify, but suddenly, there are stipulations. there was no reason to have stipulations. same thing today. he was invited jack, you re rewriting jack, you re rewriting history. stipulations, what are you saying let me answer the question. i know this not because i ve talked to him, but because i ve read the documents and read the public reporting which you can read as well and you probably already know, which is that he was willing to sign the letter. in fact, he said today, he s willing to have comey and rogers come in behind closed-doors testimony, but he also wants a guarantee that clapper, that yates, and others are going to testify openly and that hasn t been assured. even today, he still hasn t gotten assurances from nunes that s going to occur. and jack, let m
nbc nationalist correspondent peter joining me now where we re expecting the greek prime minister to pull up, so we ll watch that. first of all, all the confusion. we see the president there in the doorway of the portico to the west wing entrance as the car pulls up, and we re going to see the greek prime minister. greece, of course, has been in financial turmoil. it has been part of the european union crisis financially and economically and is also right in the region where migration has been a crisis, peter. so as we see him arriving, there will be an oval office meeting, a quick photo opportunity, later another photo opportunity in the cabinet room as they have an expanded lunch. then there s going to be a news conference. but let s go to the news conference that you were a big part of yesterday, because this was the president trying to pretend there was no problem with mitch mcconnell, but importantly, you ve got new reporting on the whole issue of

this picture taken in march of 2016. the man circled in this photo is george papadopoulos, who pled guilty to lying about the fbi and his interactions with russians during the campaign. also in this picture, if you widen it a little bit you see the attorney general jeff sessions, who previously said he did not remember that meeting, but today. i do now recall that the march 2016 meeting at the trump hotel and mr. papadopoulos attended, but have no clear recollection of the details of what he said at that meeting. in all of my testimony i can only do my best to answer your questions as i understand them and to the best of my memory. martha: chief national correspondent ed henry live at the white house with the back story on today s big hearing. it also included some brand-new details about the clintons. great to see you today.
accusations that i have ever lied. that is a lie. let me be clear, i have at all times conducted myself honorably and in a manner consistent with the hig
