Frequently. They have to make a determination based on how long things have occurred, the benefits involved, the level of criminal intent, and they make a decision whether to pursue this criminally or civilly. It sounds like in someones eyes, there wasnt enough information to pursue this criminally. They went the civil route. They also have to contend with u. S. Attorneys. The fall that could be to pursue it civilly. Its a fine line to go over this civilly versus criminally, but the bar is high to approach this from a criminal standpoint. Host our guest has been daniel bertoni. Thank you for all of your calls this monday morning. The house is coming in and a couple of hours, just like the senate.

Years that ive learned that there was a process you are supposed to follow. I just went out and keep bugging people until they give you as much dollars as you needed. You have commoditized it for small companies. We get on average a couple of hundred emails a year that say hey, i have got a great idea. How do i get started . That touches on one of the key problems we saw that exist today. If you are out there raising capital, what are you not doing . Youre not talking to your users or your customers. We are not building your product or services. Fundraising becomes a huge process, a huge effort. It is a process. To break it down and make it real for you and give you a sense, while youre barely keeping your head above water as it is, you are also willing to meet with groups such as angel groups or pitchign to vc firms, where you sit in a room and they ask questions and you say thank you very much. You have a little side conversation. You get all of the checks together. If youre lucky, y
Legislation to support ukraine and its urgent effort to meet its current crisis, including building up its Democratic Institutions. Mr. Speaker, russias land grab in crimea violates the Core Principles of several bilateral and multilateral agreements and treaties between ukraine and russia. The buddha pest memorandum, the United Nations charter, as well as the hell sinka helsinki final act. This includes strong sanctions against russians directly responsible for the aggression. H.

Weeks insurrection was so successful. The president is holed up in the white house as the walls continue to cave in. The outgoing commander in chief is in, quote, selfpity mode, lashing out at those not defending him more. And renewing the prospects of a selfpardon. Jim acosta, can you just speak to the split screen here between the Vice President attending these security briefings and the president having a pity party . Yeah. Thats basically whats been going on for several days now, brooke. I will tell you, you talk to sources close to the white house, people inside the white house. They describe a situation where the president is basically isolated, behind closed doors. Hes whining about this impeachment. Hes whining about being held responsible for what happened on january 6th. Hes also sort of casting off advisers and aides who arent telling him what he wants to hear. And there is a split screen because Vice President mike pence is almost acting like a de facto president right now.
Done and by opening up more competition, we will save taxpayers money in the process. Launched anly easier and upgraded health care. Gov. Priceans will be able to comparison and shop side by side.

We have worked really hard to make these marketplaces user friendly. When the prototype of an application came in at 21 pages, we rejected it. It is now three pages long. That is a lot shorter than the application you have to fill out for private insurance. Year i asked congress for the authority to reorganize and consolidate the federal bureaucracy. Were doing a lot of the work administratively, but unfortunately there are a bunch of roles. That haslegislation poorly designed some of the agencies and forced folks to hoope in the bureaucratic jumping instead of focusing on mission and de
