being here today. on october 3, 2016, the f.b.i. met with christopher steele who confessed to relying heavily on a russian national living in washington, d.c. as a sub source. that sub source was later identified as danchenko. steele not only used danchenko to create the dossier but steele was unable to corroborate any of the substantial gagss made in the dossier, is that correct? >> that's correct. >> even after the f.b.i. offered steele a million dollars if somehow he could actually follow through and underscore some of those specific items, is that correct? >> that's correct. >> so the f.b.i. interviewed danchenko and steele sub source for three days from january 24th through january 26th of 17. he could not provide any
ouch if you didn't get a merit award we don't want to hurt you so we'll give them to no one. the schools are all within three counties in northern virginia so far. preliminary investigation shows the number of students affected is in the thousands. all of those kids not able to use those awards for college or scholarships able gagss. the bulk of the guilty schools are in fairfax county. the superintendent talked to parents yesterday suggesting the same thing is happening all over but fairfax just got caught. >> anecdotally there are a number of other locations, i don't believe anyone is at this time raising their hand to draw any attention to that. we here in fairfax county at the moment are carrying that water. i recognize one of the biggest issues this evening and the last couple weeks is really trust, right? i think we've broken trust with
what about him? what could be done? there are the legal steps you just mentioned but anything else in. >> it depends on how this criminal case goes in florida. another important thing that goes on in the cases are these independent investigations. we know now there are some going on in uvalde. sometimes out of these investigations, there are facts that are revealed that allow a lawsuit to be filed on specific grounds. it came out that there was a tip sent into fbi tip line a month before shoot and the fbi said don't worry, we'll take care of it and did nothing. that allowed the parents to sue the department of justice for not doing anything and they just settle that case for $127 million out of court. what happens many times is some facts may come up and these i vest gagss report because it may
we've seen with giuliani's statements, more information. >> i'm so confuse d as to why democrats are not wanting to call giuliani because he's talking to reporters, telling them exactly what happened. he wanted yovanovitch out of the way because she was in the way of the gagss that the president wanted. so it seems like he would be someone you'd want to hear from. back to the senate trial and mitch mcconnell, jake, there was some talk b about how much mcconnell might be constrained because he needs a simple majority in order to set the rules and the process of what a senate trial would look like and that he would need to be more fair minded and make it look like a serious procedure and not something they're whitewashing ore and he would be constrained by susan collins, by mitt rom y romney, but the two were out today kind of signalling they're not going to break with the gop. am i reading that correctly, jake? >> seems to be and it seems to be this rules discussion will be shirts and skins so to speak.
trump judges and all the an gagss of roe v. wade, i want all of that, give me that and then i will vote for a democrat. is that not something democrats should reject? >> i think they should reject it. it's not the way to win over people like me who have been disaffected from the republican. if you're supporting mitch mcconnell you're supporting obstruction, lying, a lot of behavior that is unacceptable in public life. i don't think it is necessary more advisable and i speak as someone who used to be a republican for the draths to become mini republicans. i think what they need to do is find those candidates, the candidates who win, the candidates who appeal to their pace and have a boarder appeal beyond the party. that's what barack obama did, that's what bill clinton did and that's what those women did in the suburbs who won overwhelmingly who delivered the house. these were women, some women of color, some white women in the suburbs, in the urban areas
total gagss against brett kavanaugh and i wonder -- whether you could prognosticate whether that is having an impact on murkowski and weighing the issues of whether brett kavanaugh believes alaskans are indigenous people and is weighing on her vote but the issue of the allegations of a high school sexual assault which of course i should remind people, he issued a statement saying he denies and saying he didn't do it and at any time but what do you think that those allegations might do to this process, particularly as regard to the two women republican senators? >> well, i think that is what -- that is exactly the point i was stipulating earlier. this will demonstrate if me-too is going to change how we consider a scotus nominee and it is interesting that the question isn't if brett kavanaugh is a nice guy. i feel like the allegations are bringing up the -- the 61 women who were like he was very nice to me.
prosecute the person traders. >> you said basically that you want to wait for the investigation and senator franken is going to be cooperating with that. my question is, are the women who accused him of inappropriate behavior not believable? do you need more of what they say? are theired a gagss not bad enough? >> in the case of senator franken, he admitted to what happened with the photo. which is more than i can say for trump, who has admitted to being a sexual predator. just today he came out in support of roy moore. as far as i'm concerned, it's not surprising to me that one liar is standing up for another liar. we are talking about a person running for the u.s. senate from alabama who is accused of molesting underaged girls. that is a crime. so these allegations, these kinds of stories need to be brought forth. and frankly, it is about time.
but first we turn toal gigs gagss of sexual misconduct. both cbs and pbs are cutting ties with charlie rose following the "washington post" report just yesterday detailing extensive allegations against the veteran newsman. cbs terminated rose's contract just today and this afternoon pbs says it has cancelled distribution of his programs. while here in washington, the longest serving member of the house of representatives is now denying allegations of sexual misconduct. "buzzfeed" reported that democratic congressman john conyers of michigan settled a wrongful dismissal two years ago. this after the former employee said she was fired because she would, quote, not succumb to his sexual advances. we must warn you some of these accounts are graphic. cnn's sunlen serfaty is with me now. i should note that the congressman released a rather forceful statement pushing back against these allegations. >> he did. he strongly denies the allegations but he does admit
and get the power back on. it's an amazing feeling turning those lights back on. be informed about outages in your area. sign up for outage alerts at pge.com/outagealerts. together, we're building a better california. more than 20 women have now come forward accusing harvey wine stooeb op pred tear sexual behavior and assaulting with ap gagss that weinstein denies. dawn is one of those accusers and today she told msnbc stephanie ruhle what happened in 2003 when she showed up to what was supposed to be a lunch meeting and was sent up to his hotel room by his assistant instead. >> i get to the room and he opens the door and he has a open bathrobe on and there's this coffee table with all of these
it was a long scheduled set of appearances that he would be making there throughout the academic years. so that has nothing to do with the timing of any of the attacks. the attacks are, you know, disgraceful and disgusting and they have been sort of the normal course of business for the white house. more or less since the time that he was dismissed. and you know, i don't really know what there is to say except this really isn't the way you would want a white house talking about a long serving public servant who particularly in the absence of any evidence to support any of the a gagss that they're making of the. >> one of the key questions was what was jim comey's state of mind as fbi director. in your conversations before the firing, what was his level of
