Senate in 2014. flip back and forth and let it go. >> its not really a bite you in the you know what, its like i said, a president needs his nominees. you cant complain that government doesnt work and then not have somebody there to run the government. >> at some point, governing has to be allowed to happen. >> it has to be allowed to happen, i agree. >> alberto gonzales wasnt the census attorney general pick but they had a vote and named him the attorney general of the united states. >> i want ...

I already mentioned their failure to really zero in on the alleged racial profiling. they fought so hard to get into evidence the prior calls that zimmerman made about african-americans in the neighborhood. then they didnt use it. most noticeably in closing arguments, it seemed that both sides were arguing for a reasonable doubt. >> and when you look at what a civil case could be brought, what would that look like and how -- how much -- how vulnerable is george zimmerman in a civil trial? >> hed...

Surprised if this case met the bar. >> yeah, and there has to be a high probability of success translation, the federal government does not want to go through this whole process again and get another acquittal. theyll look at the evidence and see if they can come up with something different. this has happened before, most notably in the rodney king case. the police officers accused of beating rodney king were acquitted. the federal government tried them again and they were convict. >> i want to ...

Forth that we continue to see anklely corey its not about race but it is about race and not about race is what we heard in closing arguments. >> we have to accept this judicial outcome in this instance, lisa. what are the familys chances in the civil route? >> they could bring a civil case like the o.j. simpson case and a civil case you can force him to testify. you could force him to scream. you can force him to re-enact exactly how trayvon martin could would have seen the gun even though it wa...

Marching together and 99% peacefully and not looting that others have predicted. obviously, that was not going to happen. in retrospect to think that an almost all-white jury in the south would find justice for a black victim im like, what was i thinking? you know? the other thing i noticed in the montage you played earlier john guy has a theory of the case which we have not heard the whole time! >> its hard to take and when we look at the crowds and how many of them are white, i think the jury ...

What hes probably doing is providing space for the justice department to take an honest look at and make an honest determination without putting the thumb on the scale either way. i think thats what the justice department should do. and make a determination based on what i know is very narrow federal statutes. >> michael, how politicized do you think it will become? >> i think hugely politicized. its unfortunate. i dont think the justice department comes back to move forward with a finding of an...

Things happened. a person got killed. nothing was done. that is the most upsetting thing to me. i just could not believe that you can look at somebody and assume that theyre guilty of something. i just cant imagine that. >> do you think that the prosecutors did the best job they could have done with the evidence that they had? or do you think that perhaps with a different set of prosecuting attorneys the outcome might have been different? >> i dont think they did a good job. the head prosecutor ...

Of evidence to digest, a chunk of concrete, a dummy. >> george zimmerman and trayvon martin. >> the six woman jury continues deliberating the fate of george zimmerman. among them fiver whos. the three options guilty of second-degree murder, guilt in of manslaughter or not guilty. who called out nor help? >> trayvon bennia minute martin. >> the position of zimmermans holster. his injuries. how severe were they. his description of trayvon martin in a call to police. >> he is a [ bleep ] >> so much...

Attaches. he could never be tried for these exact crimes. different crimes, civil rights violations, thats possible. the civil case brought by the family can go forward. now, because he was acquitted he is in no longer of criminal prosecution which means he can be forced to testify. he didnt in this case. he could not be forced to testify in a criminal case. now that this is resolved, he can be forced to testify in the civil case. a good lawyer may ask him tough questions. may ask him, for examp...

Case. >> i never thought the prosecution had a clear theory on this case. the opening statement was over the top. it was highly emotional but they never gave any facts. at the time the prosecution witnesses turned out to be good for the defense. it was clear they wanted to win this case on negative way trying to suggest that mr. zimmerman was lying all the time and they had this narrative he was a highly, sophisticated, wanna-be cop. i thought the jurors would have a hard time believing this was...
