But, now, this batch of new emails obtained by Judicial Watch includes a few emails exchanged between huma abedin and doug band who led the initiatives. In one with exchange, abedin requested a favor for someone who seemed to be looking for a job. In another, band asked abedin to connect a liberty knees billionaire who is one of the top donors of the foundation with someone in lebanon. Abedin said she would give him a call. The Clinton Campaign says shes emails did not involve foundations work and they say band was operating in his capacity as an aide to former president clinton and not as a foundation official. Thanks, nancy. Dan senor was a Senior Adviser to the Romney Campaign in 2012. Good to be with you. First, a controversy with the Second Amendment and donald trump. Do you take him at his word he was simply talking about political power . No. Ive watched it probably 20 times. Really want to give him the benefit of the doubt, is he was joking about a subject that you shouldnt be joking about. Which is about inciting violence, particularly insetting violence particularly someone under secret Service Protection and particularly for secret service putting out a statement saying they are aware of his comments. Do you believe his words should lead you to say he was inciting violence . Well it had the effect of inciting violence and im not sure his intention but the effect of inciting violence. I drew up a list last night. You look what ed about megyn kelly and judge curiel and encouraging russians to hack and get Hillary Clintons emails and the wisconsin primary what he said about abortions and about the physically disabled reporter from the new york times, what ed, after each one of these incidents, i didnt mean that. Give me the benefit of the doubt and it was taken out of context and its misinterpreted. If you have a pattern where you constantly say things that and provocative so much so you have to clean it up one would think you would be more cautious with your words. When youre talking about the Second Amendment and something that could elude to violence against a high profile political figure under secret Service Protection, you choose your words carefully. He did not do that which is just another example, for me and other Leaders Within the republican party, that he is extremely reckless. Lets talk about the leaders Electorate College votes. This could be a trounce. We still got time, though, dan. You could say that is an outlier and it wont affect the races. Im dubious. If Hillary Clinton gets, you know, 350 to 400 Electorate College votes, it means the senate is highly unlikely to keep Senate Majority hands and i think it poseses a real threat to the house majority. Do the release of the emails threaten her . This is the thing many people say there may be there something in terms of foundation and act of connection at the state department . What is amazing to me there is so much material to mind, visavis Hillary Clinton. These emails, again, are so damaging. Its no wonder that her untrust worthy numbers and unfavorable numbers are so high. In any other election with any other republican running with someone with this story and these numbers, they would be trouncing her. Because the republicans nominated donald trump, she is able to lead even with this kind of lead the show instead of what is going on with her. Right. Dan, appreciate it.
