intelligence experience, but one thing he has is that he was the u.s. attorney in east texas about a decade ago. he was a federal prosecutor and he says on his website that he was a terrorism prosecutor and that he, quote, put terrorists in prison. but nbc news and pete williams have been looking close ily at the record and we can find no evidence that he prosecuted a terrorism case. they pointed to a case in dallas against the holy land foundation, which was in which it was a muslim charity that was convicted of funneling money to a palestinian terrorism group. the first trial ended in mistrial. his name appears nowhere in the trial record. the idea that he convicted terrorists is under question tonight, steve. so while we talk about radcliffe potentially taking over, there is also the question of coats himself, the role he s played, what his absence potentially means in this
terrorism case. but there was no actual plot. thank you so much. we know you ll continue to track this. great to see you. we now know the name of that west point cadet who died yesterday during a training accident, christopher morgan died yesterday when his vehicle overturned. the resident of west orange, new jersey, was a law and legal studies member. the corps of cadets will hold a vigil to honor morgan. i want to turn it over to my colleague, stephanie ruhle and ali velshi. thank you so much. i m stephanie ruhle. my partner, ali velshi, on assignment. it is friday, finally, june 7th and we have a lot to cover today starting with that russian warship coming dangerously close to a u.s. navy ship. plus a trade deal would be reached at any moment between the united states and mexico. also a disturbing and new
and narrow here in this memo, ryan, but one of the things, obviously, we re waiting for, the final mueller report, which should be coming to the attorney general in the next couple of weeks and so perhaps, they re saving it, whatever theory they have, investigative theory they have, they re saving it for that memo. and you talked about how specific therm in their belief about the crimes that paul manafort committed. they even went on to say that he s someone they view as he had a hardened adherence to committing crimes and a lack of remorse. they re also worried that upon release from jail, he perceives a grave risk of recidivism. what does that language signal to you? essentially makes you believe that prosecutors don t ever want him to leave a jail cell before the end of his life? exactly. paul manafort, this is a white-collar crime. and it s unusual to see the prosecutors use language like this for somebody who hasn t killed anybody, you know, this is not a murder case or a terr
what you see on the paper here. my reading of this, they seem to go out of their way to give the opportunity to tell the truth. they would ask a question and say wait, really, you didn t do that or are you sure you didn t do that, they went again and again and again, ands in case of the conversation with kislyak, he still lied about it. the reason is they know this is going to be reviewed potentially in the public domain as we re doing tonight. what do you do, whether it s a terrorism case or a national security case like this one, related to russia, again and again, you re talking to a witness and you give them an opportunity. what happened, speak the truth. what happened. if you look at almost every paragraph in this document, maybe every other paragraph, there s an opportunity for general flynn to say i actually had sensitive national security conversations with the russians. it it s not like the fbi walked in the room and said let me trap
is en route may have already landed in germany and come back to the united states as early as tomorrow. great win and huge thank you to the administration and the president and to members of congress as welling.ou the president really led the charge here to get this done and i really appreciate it. sean: there was no deal. r and the charge for pastor brunson was he was preaching the gospel, right? yes. i mean, actually the indictment itself has the word in turkish, of course, it s called christianization. that is they view that act of running a small church, sharing the gospel as an act that was an act of terrorism. that s how they define it this was a terrorism case, believe it or not. but, again, the great news is he has been released. he has been returned. i appreciate you covering it and, again, appreciate all the work that the presidentt did in getting this accomplished for the family. sean: jay sekulow, i know you have been working on this since the beginning. congratulat
