York state? none of those are the slam dunks you see in this indictment against stone. but the question im asking is could you bring a state charge under new york law for aiding and abetting for a hacking conspiracy or soliciting stolen goods? i think theres a stronger case for those crimes than you would for violations of campaign financial. if you have stone involved with a conspiracy to solicit stolen goods or aid and abet computer hacking, even if trump pardons stone, you could still have a ...

Interested in. if a pardon comes down for stone, could he face any state liability? so the key thing about a presidential pardon is it only affects federal criminal -- >> you were reading my mind. go on. ive been thinking about it. >> so this is the question is did mueller strategically bring certain charges of the indictment that only a federal prosecutor could bring? felony, false statements on a federal level, obstruction of justice, and did he leave out other charges that could potentially b...

Murder of this journalist. >> so theres no such thing as definitive proof in the intelligence community. they dont talk about slam dunks any more. they talk about high confidence. that said, before taking consequential foreign policy actions, of course we want to actually be sure. the issue here is not that trump doesnt have enough evidence, though. it appears that his administration is not even seeking out the facts. secretary of state mike pompeo, who went to riyadh and istanbul, has said that...

All americans when it counts most. >> alert, puerto rico is fine now. i guess the paper towels worked. >> every president since fdr has communicated directly with the american people. he had fireside chats and now president trump has emergency alerts. >> hurricane florence got the carolinas so wet. i thought it was premiere of "magic mike." >> with presidential alerts you will hear about every emergency. >> september 11th was almost a month ago. is that even information? >> warning, white men ar...

Republican confidence a bit. i suspect they will win tomorrow. probably not by as much as they would want. this is happening around the country in both directions. you have in new jersey a blue, blue, blue state of the republican is giving menendez a real race. you have in california the democrats are realizing they have to redirect national funds into races they thought that they had locked up as slam dunks. this is going to be a wild 2018. >> bill: you will earn your money, arent you, trying t...

Were going to be slam dunks for them and maybe republicans will hold onto seats and maybe blue wave is not what a lot of people thought it would be. >> i think democrats have a good chance to recapture the house but i think democrats do have a problem with messaging. the tax bill has been popular but also we have seen lower middle-class people not receive some of the benefits they expected, its produced a mixed message for democrats, on one end, theres critiques that need to be made on the tax b...

November? >> for republicans it does seem like its spreading, there was a special house election last night. in arizona, it was a district that trump won by 20 points. republicans won that seat, but they won it barely. and they had to pour something like $1 million in at the last second to do it. when youre wasting your money on seats that should be slam-dunks, thats when you start to say, hey, these, this is another indicator of trouble that doesnt mean republicans could hold the house and the ...

Circling. theres something shaking. we dont know exactly where it lands. were seeing the president reach out, on the one hand, to the person associated with the deep state -- >> joe digenova, trafficking very recently in unproven conspiracy theories. critics have said he was essentially auditioning by his appearance on fox news, because he wanted to be part of this. >> right. so what you see from him to olson is the combination of looking for hail marys and slam dunks, to mix our sports. if you ...

Going to testify to. defense lawyers will cross-examine him, saying, why didnt you put it in here? his answer will be, it says here, not everything is included in this statement. so there is a lot of information that we dont know about. if you look at the manafort indictment, the gates indictment, those are slam dunks. that indictment is a work of beauty. from the standpoint of a prosecutor, you couldnt do any better because its all proven by documents. there are no witnesses. >> dumb question. ...

Expectations like you said, i think its amazing hes trying to do that, the fact that were talking about a runoff is amazing, the notion that thats the upside for republicans. this shouldnt even be competitive -- >> republicans just trying to get to a runoff in a district that theyve owned for 38 years. >> its truly remarkable. they desperately had to jump in at the last minute. republicans should not be having to sweat these slam dunks and yet here we are. >> ossoff as a candidate, how is he per...
