Donald trump jr. Released a string of is these during the president ial campaign. This follows a report about these exchanges. Though most of the communications were one sided, trump junior did interact on a number of occasions. Wikileaks told him, quote, a the r. A. C. Is a recycled proiraq war pac. We have guessed the password, it is putintrump. Done responded, off the record, i dont know who that is boo but ill ask around, according to te atlantic he did ask around, including trumps soninlaw jared kushner, telling them wikileaks had reached out. We dont know in what context he was saying that, but kushner forwarded that email onto hope hicks. In a separate exchange, done junior reached out october 23rd
asking wikileaks about an impending release writing whats behind the wednesday leak i keep reading about . Wikileaks didnt respond, but just four days later it released John Podestas emails on the same day as youll recall the u. S. Intelligence community condemned russia for using wik
The court does say that in the particular kicircumstances of h phillip was treated, his religious views didnt get the respect of the commission that initially ruled against him. He cites Commission Members that said appeared to be dismissive or hostile to Jack Phillips religious views. The 13r50eSupreme Court this w marred as soon as the Commission Said those things. All the Court Decision today says is, because of the way Jack Phillips was treated below, he wins. But the decision also says, were not expressing a view about the larger issue that made this case so interesting. Which is, can other bakers, florists, people who print wedding invitations, who provide services, people who sing at weddings, play the organ, do the deejay services, all those businesses, can they refuse to serve samesex couples . Has written all the important gay rights rulings here from the Supreme Court, including the 2015 ruling on samesex marriage. With that in mind, he basically is saying, we have to keep t
Alex Witt hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Two items, the Collusion Case and the obstruction case. What would the president consider sitting down two with the approval of his attorneys . How much has this conversation evolved . Well, i think we have to take everything Rudy Giuliani says with a grain of salgt. And when were only hearing about these conversations from him, it is very unclear to me how accurate he is in relaying those conversations. But if it is true that giuliani is considering a response to mueller and that they are continuing to negotiate about this interview, it surprises me a little bit. Mueller has the carrot of a subpoena. And i think most legal experts including me believe that if this were to go all the way to the supreme court, that donald trump would have to sit for testimony in front the grand jury. But what it tells me is two things potentially. One is i think bob mueller doesnt want a fight. He doesnt want the li
reason of sowing doubt and turning it into a political process. but these polls reflect the effectiveness of that campaign. but at some point bob mueller will speak. and he is going to speak through an indictment. and i think that it will be a lengthy detailed bombshell of an indictment. and all of a sudden it s not going to be a one way ration anymore, you you will have a strong powerful communication via indictment from the other side. and at that point it will be very interesting to see what happens with the public opinion because you can go on and on and on about there is no evidence of collusion, no evidence of collusion. of course there is not. it is a confidential investigation. of course you won t see evidence until you do. all i can think about when i m hearing you speak is something that barack obama said shortly before he left office which is reality has a way of
districts that we don t know what will happen here. we need to see the evidence. nothing has come out. and some of those voters may stick with them. and you re focused on the legal side of things. we re focused on the political curtain. so is it your sense that is this all a side show to what is happening with this investigation as you hear from rudy giuliani the case that he is making, the case that he is making to sow chaos, that is really a side show? this is a one way battle right now, one way communications battle. and this has been the case for a long time because bob mueller and his office are running an incredibly professional operation where they are doing what they are supposed do, which is not leak any evidence. criminal investigations are confidential for a variety of reasons, including the grand jury secrecy, but not only that. and so what you have on the other side is trump and giuliani persistently, consistently, constantly battering the investigation. and i agree th
