Mike Pence Hires Lawyer With Relevant Experience; Robert Mueller Builds Team | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC - Duration: 22:08.McGEE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD EVENING, RACHEL.
>> THANKS TO YOU FOR JOINING US THIS HOUR.
IN WATERGATE, PROSECUTORS BELIEVED THEY COULD NOT BRING A
CRIMINAL INDICTMENT AGAINST A SITTING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES. THAT'S NOT TOTALLY SETTLED LAW,
BUT THEY BELIEVED THEY COULDN'T. A LOT OF LEGAL EXPERTS BELIEVE
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CRIMINALLY INDICT A SITTING PRESIDENT.
IN WATERGATE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WERE INDICTED.
69 DIFFERENT PEOPLE WERE INDICTED.
CRIMINALLY CHARGED IN THE WATERGATE SCANDAL.
BUT PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON WASN'T ONE OF THEM.
THE WATERGATE GRAND JURY CONSIDERED PRESIDENT NIXON TO BE
A COCONSPIRATOR BUT AS A SITTING PRESIDENT NO FEDERAL PROSECUTOR
EVER CHARGED HIM WITH A CRIME. THAT'S WHY IT WAS SUCH A CRUCIAL
TOUCHSTONE MOMENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY WHEN NIXON STEPPED DOWN
AS PRESIDENT AND HIS SUCCESSOR GERALD FORD IMMEDIATELY PARDONED
HIM. IT WAS A REMARKABLY
CONTROVERSIAL THING. THE COUNTRY WAS IN UPROAR.
PEOPLE WERE MAD AT FORD ABOUT IT FOR YEARS AND DECADES
THEREAFTER. IT WAS SOMETHING SPECIFIC AND
IMPORTANT ABOUT NIXON AND ABOUT WHAT THE CRIMINAL LAW MEANS
AROUND PRESIDENTS. BECAUSE NIXON LEAVING OFFICE AS
PRESIDENT, HIM RESIGNING MEANT THAT AS SOON AS HE WAS NO LONGER
PRESIDENT HE COULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED.
HE COULD HAVE BEEN CRIMINALLY INDICTED.
HE MIGHT HAVE ENDED UP IN PRISON.
IT IS THE FACT THAT GERALD FORD PARDONED HIM AS SOON AS HE LEFT
OFFICE, THAT MEANT NIXON NEVER WAS CHARGED.
SO WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A PRESIDENT SENT TO THE POKEY.
THE IRAN CONTRA SCANDAL IN THE 1980s WHERE THERE WERE A TON OF
CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS. 14 REAGAN ADMINISTRATION
OFFICIALS WERE CRIMINALLY CHARGED IN THE SCANDAL UP TO AND
INCLUDING THE SERVING SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.
IN THAT SCANDAL THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF RO NALD REAGAN WAS NEVER
NAMED AS A COCONSPIRATOR AND HE SERVED OUT THE END OF HIS SECOND
TERM. BUT LIKE NIXON REAGAN'S
SUCCESSOR AS PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH GOT TO ISSUE THE
PARDONS FOR REAGAN'S SCANDAL. ALL THE INDICTED SENIOR
ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS FROM IRAN-CONTRA WHO HADN'T HAD THEIR
CRIMINAL CHARGES THROWN OUT OR THEIR CONVICTIONS REVERSED, ALL
OF THEM WERE ULTIMATELY PARDONED BY REAGAN'S SUCCESSOR, GEORGE
H.W. BUSH. BOTH WATERGATE AND IRAN-CONTRA
INCIDENTALLY HAPPENED TO BE SCANDALS FROM REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENCIES. BUT, YOU KNOW, THE
INVESTIGATIONS INTO THOSE TWO SCANDALS WERE NOT PARTICULARLY
PARTISAN AFFAIRS. MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THE
VARIOUS PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE SCANDALS DIDN'T DROP THEIR PARTY
AFFILIATIONS AS SOON AS THE SCANDAL CAME TO LIGHT.
IN BOTH WATERGATE AND IRAN-CONTRA THOSE REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENTS IN THE END FACED BOTH DEMOCRATIC
INQUIZ -- INQUIZ TORS IN CONGRESS.
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS CHALLENGED THEM ON THEIR
INVOLVEMENT IN THE SCANDALS. BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS
TOOK AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE INVESTIGATIONS.
BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS DENOUNCED THOSE REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENTS IN THEIR ADMINISTRATIONS WHEN THE SCANDAL
GOT TO BE TOO MUCH. I THINK EVERY GENERATION THINKS
PARTISANSHIP HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND IN OUR TIME.
IT WAS ONLY THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN PEOPLE ROSE BEYOND PARTY
AFFILIATION TO DO WHAT WAS HONORABLE AND RIGHT FOR THE
COUNTRY EVEN IF IT WASN'T RIGHT FOR THEIR PARTY.
IT FEELS THAT WAY. IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT'S AS BAD
AS IT'S EVER BEEN. BUT HISTORY SAYS OTHERWISE.
WHEN THERE HAVE BEEN GIGANTIC PRESIDENTIAL SCANDALS IN THE
PAST, MULTIPLE CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS OF SENIOR
ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF IMPEACHMENT, HIGH
LEVEL ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS GOING TO JAIL OR STARING DOWN
THE POSSIBILITY, EVEN WHEN THOSE SCANDALS HAPPENED IN WHAT PEOPLE
OF THE TIME THOUGHT WERE UNBELIEVABLY PARTISAN
ENVIRONMENTS, THERE IS STILL A GOOD HISTORICAL RECORD OF PEOPLE
DROPPING THEIR PARTISAN ALLEGIANCES IN THE FACE OF MAJOR
SCANDALS, IN THE FACE OF MAJOR CRIMINAL WRONGDOING.
IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES, PEOPLE -- EVEN ELECTED OFFICIALS
IN CONGRESS HAVE DROPPED THEIR PARTISAN ALLEGIANCES AND LET
THEM SLIP A LITTLE BIT FOR THE GOOD OF JUSTICE, FOR THE GOOD OF
THE COUNTRY, FOR THE GOOD OF CRIMINAL ACCOUNTABILITY.
TODAY, VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE HIRED PRIVATE COUNSEL.
HE HIRED A PRIVATE LAWYER TO REPRESENT HIM PERSONALLY IN THE
ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE TRUMP RUSSIA AFFAIR BOTH IN
CONGRESS AND BY THE SPECIAL COUNCIL FORMER FBI FBI DIRECTOR
ROBERT MUELLER. AS OF LAST NIGHT WE NOW KNOW THE
MUELLER SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATION HAS NOW SPREAD TO
INCLUDE NOT JUST THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION, BUT ALSO THE
BEHAVIOR OF THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF.
THE SPECIAL COUNSEL NOW LOOKING AT POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE BY THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE RELATED TO THE ONGOING RUSSIA
INVESTIGATION. AND BECAUSE OF THIS NEWS ABOUT
MIKE PENCE TODAY, I THINK NOW WE HAVE LEARNED ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT'S GOING TO END UP BEING REALLY IMPORTANT ABOUT WHAT WE
UNDERSTAND ABOUT ROBERT MUELLER'S SPECIAL COUNSEL
INVESTIGATION. THE ORDER SPELLED OUT THAT HE
WOULD BE INVESTIGATING THE QUESTION OF WHETHER THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN OR TRUMP ASSOCIATES WERE INVOLVED IN THE RUSSIAN
ATTACK ON OUR ELECTION LAST YEAR AND HE WOULD BE INVESTIGATING
OTHER MEMBERS THAT AROSE DIRECTLY FROM THEM.
BUT BEYOND WHAT WAS IN THAT INITIAL ORDER, SINCE HE STARTED
WE HAVE LEARNED THAT HE DIDN'T COME IN AND START THIS
INVESTIGATION FROM SCRATCH. SOME OF BOB MUELLER'S
INVESTIGATION AT THE FBI INVOLVED HIM PICKING UP ONGOING
WORK, TAKING ON AND ABSORBING MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR
SOME INVESTIGATIONS THAT WERE ALREADY ONGOING BEFORE HE
STARTED. FOR EXAMPLE, WASHINGTON POST WAS
FIRST TO REPORT LAST NIGHT THAT THE OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
INVESTIGATION INTO THE PRESIDENT APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED AT THE
FBI RIGHT AFTER THE PRESIDENT FIRED FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY
ON MAY 9th. THAT WAS MORE THAN A WEEK BEFORE
ROBERT MUELLER WAS APPOINTED TO HIS JOB.
PRESUMABLY THAT MEANS THE OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
INVESTIGATION INTO THE PRESIDENT WAS ALREADY STARTED BEFORE
ROBERT MUELLER GOT THERE AND TOOK IT OVER.
IT HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED THAT ROBERT MUELLER IS MANAGING THE
ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO UKRAINE.
MONEY THAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN LOOTED OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT BY
THE NOW DEPOSED PRO-PUTIN DICTATOR OF THE COUNTRY WHOSE
LONG-TIME POLITICAL GURU WAS TRUMP CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN PAUL
MANAFORT. THAT INVESTIGATION -- THE
UKRAINE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN
GOING ON FOR YEARS. THAT TOUCHES ON PAUL MANAFORT
DIRECTLY AND THAT ROBERT MUELLER HAS TAKEN OVER THE INVESTIGATION
THAT UKRAINE THEFT, CORRUPTION, MONEY LAUNDERING INVESTIGATION
HAS NOW BEEN INCORPORATED INTO BOB MUELLER'S WORK AS SPECIAL
COUNSEL. IN ADDITION TO THAT THERE IS THE
CASE IN VIRGINIA THAT HE'S TAKEN OVER.
THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE AN IMPORTANT THING.
ONE OF THE ONGOING FBI AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
INVESTIGATIONS THAT WAS ALREADY UNDER WAY BEFORE ROBERT MUELLER
WAS APPOINTED SPECIAL COUNSEL IS THE CASE INVOLVING MIKE FLYNN.
AND HIS FOREIGN TIES. THAT ONGOING INVESTIGATION HAS
BEEN REPORTED AND DESCRIBED BY MULTIPLE NEWS OUTLETS.
IT WAS CONFIRMED AS AN ONGOING FBI CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION LAST
WEEK IN SWORN CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY BY JAMES COMEY.
NOW WE KNOW FOR SURE IT'S HAPPENING.
WE KNOW THAT THE MIKE FLYNN INVESTIGATION HAS PRODUCED
ALREADY MULTIPLE SUBPOENAS TO BUSINESSES ASSOCIATED -- TO
PEOPLE IN BUSINESSES ASSOCIATED WITH MICHAEL FLYNN.
WE KNOW A FEDERAL GRAND JURY HAS BEEN CONVENED IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THAT MIKE FLYNN CASE. THAT'S HOW THE SUBPOENAS ARE
BEING ISSUED. WE KNOW THAT MIKE FLYNN CASE IS
BEING RUN OUT OF THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT
OF VIRGINIA AND IT'S BEING LED BY A VETERAN ESPIONAGE
PROSECUTOR, BRANDON VAN GRACK. THE VENUE OF THE MIKE FLYNN
INVESTIGATION ENDS UP BEING SORT OF NEWLY IMPORTANT ORR AT LEAST
NEWLY INTERESTING. ABOUT THE VICE PRESIDENT.
THERE ARE FEDERAL PROSECUTOR OFFICES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY IN
EVERY STATE. THERE ARE DOZENS OF U.S.
ATTORNEYS FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA RUNNING FEDERAL PROSECUTOR
OFFICES AND HANDLING ALL SORTS OF IMPORTANT FEDERAL
INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS. EVERYTHING FROM PUBLIC
CORRUPTION TO BIG DRUG CASES TO TERRORISM TO ORGANIZED CRIME.
YOU NAME IT. SO BEING THE U.S. ATTORNEY
ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY IS A BIG DEAL.
IT MEANS YOU ARE THE TOP FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT LAWYER, LAW
ENFORCEMENT PROSECUTOR IN WHATEVER YOUR JURISDICTION IS.
EVERY INCH OF THE COUNTRY IS COVERED BY SOME U.S. ATTORNEY'S
JURISDICTION. THEY ARE ALL IMPORTANT.
I DON'T MEAN TO CAST DISPERSIONS ON ANY OTHER U.S. ATTORNEY'S
OFFICES. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO BIG
NATIONAL SECURITY CASES, PARTICULARLY BIG COMPLEX
NATIONAL SECURITY CASES, PARTICULARLY BIG COMPLEX
NATIONAL SECURITY CASES THAT MIGHT HAVE BIG COMPLEX FINANCIAL
ASPECTS TO THEM. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF U.S.
ATTORNEY JURISDICTIONS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DISTRICTS
THAT I THINK ARE SORT OF CONSIDERED FIRST AMONG EQUALS
WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE KINDS OF CRIMES.
ONE IS THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE IN MANHATTAN. WELL KNOWN AS THE
CONTROVERSIALLY FIRED, HIGH PROFILE U.S. ATTORNEY FROM
MANHATTAN FROM THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK.
THAT DISTRICT IS VERY HIGH PROFILE IN TERMS OF THE NATIONAL
SECURITY CASES. THE OTHER DISTRICT IN THE
COUNTRY THAT'S SUPER HIGH PROFILE FOR ITS BIG COMPLEX
NATIONAL SECURITY CASES, CASES THAT OFTEN HAVE A NATIONWIDE AND
INTERNATIONAL REACH, THE OTHER DISTRICT LIKE THAT BESIDES
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IS EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA.
RIGHT NOW U.S. ATTORNEY FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA IS
DANA BENTE. IT'S INTERESTING.
RIGHT NOW DANA BENTE IS RUNNING THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN
THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA AND ALSO RUNNING THE NATIONAL
SECURITY DIVISION AT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
WHICH INCIDENTALLY MAKES HIM THE NUMBER FOUR PERSON IN THE LINE
OF SUCCESSION AT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
HE GOT A SURPRISE MENTION LAST WEEK IN JAMES COMEY'S
CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY WHEN COMEY SAID HE CONSULTED WITH
DANA BENTE AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD COMEY THAT HE SHOULD MAKE
PUBLIC STATEMENTS EXONERATING TRUMP IN RELATION TO THE FBI'S
COUNTER INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION ON RUSSIA.
COMEY SAYS AFTER DONALD TRUMP ASKED HIM TO MAKE THOSE
STATEMENTS HE WENT TO DAY THAT BENTE AT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
AND ASKED HIM WHAT TO DO ABOUT THAT PRESIDENTIAL REQUEST.
HE SAID DANA BENTE TOLD HIM, NO, DO NOT MAKE THE PUBLIC
STATEMENTS THE PRESIDENT TOLD YOU TO MAKE.
DANA BENTE IS RUNNING THAT DEPARTMENT WHILE RUNNING THE
U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA.
THAT U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS WHERE THE MICHAEL FLYNN CASE IS
ALREADY UNDER WAY. THAT EASTERN DISTRICT OF
VIRGINIA OFFICE IS WHERE A FEDERAL GRAND JURY IS ALREADY
CONVENED, ALREADY REVIEWING EVIDENCE, ALREADY ISSUING
SUBPOENAS AND WORKING ON THE FLYNN CASE ALREADY.
THAT EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
IS WHERE THEY'VE GOT THE VETERAN ESPIONAGE PROSECUTOR HEADING UP
THE INVESTIGATION INTO MIKE FLYNN AND HIS FOREIGN TIES.
AS SPECIAL COUNSEL MUELLER CAN CONVENE HIS OWN NEW FEDERAL
GRAND JURY IF HE WANTS TO, TO CONSIDER EVIDENCE AND
POTENTIALLY DOWN THE ROAD POSSIBLE INDICTMENTS IN EITHER
THE TRUMP RUSSIA INVESTIGATION OR THE OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
INVESTIGATION OR BOTH. HE COULD CONVENE HIS OWN GRAND
JURY. HE HAS THE OPTION TO USE
WHATEVER GRAND JURY HAS BEEN CONVENED TO WORK ON THE PAUL
MANA FORT UKRAINE COURSE OR
CONVENE THE JURY ALREADY WORKING IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF
VIRGINIA. THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
VENUE IS CENTRAL TO WHAT'S GOING ON.
WHEN BOB MUELLER WAS FIRST APPOINTED SPECIAL COUNSEL THE
FIRST PERSON WE LEARNED HE HIRED TO WORK WITH HIM, THE FIRST
PERSON NAMED AS COMING WITH BOB MUELLER TO THE JOB IS A GUY
NAMED AARON ZEBLE, A FORMER SENIOR PROSECUTOR FROM THE
EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA. THAT VENUE KEEPS COMING UP OVER
AND OVER AGAIN IN THIS CASE. BECAUSE OF WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT
THE VENUES INVOLVED HERE, BECAUSE OF WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT
THE GRAND JURIES, INVESTIGATORS AND PROSECUTORS ALREADY ON BOARD
AND WORKING THESE CASES, BECAUSE OF THAT IT SORT OF SEEMS LIKE A
WISE MOVE BY VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE TODAY THAT HE HAS NOT ONLY
HIRED A PRIVATE LAWYER, PRIVATE COUNSEL TO LOOK OUT FOR HIS
INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS OF THE INVESTIGATIONS.
THAT SEEMS WISE FOR SURE. IT SEEMS PARTICULARLY WISE THAT
OUT OF ALL THE LAWYERS IN THE WORLD WHO MIKE PENCE MIGHT HAVE
PICKED HE CHOSE A GUY WHO HAPPENS TO BE THE FORMER U.S.
ATTORNEY FROM THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA.
THAT MAKES TOTAL SENS. THAT SEEMS LIKE AN INCREDIBLY
RATIONAL CHOICE GIVEN WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE PROGRESS OF THE
INVESTIGATION, WHERE IT'S TAKING PLACE, WHO THE PERSONNEL ARE
THAT ARE INVOLVED IN IT. BUT IT'S INTERESTING.
BEYOND -- SO MIKE PENCE PICKED THIS GUY AS HIS NEW ATTORNEY.
BEYOND HIS HISTORY, HIS EXPERIENCE IN RUNNING THE U.S.
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA HERE'S A
REALLY INTERESTING OTHER THING TO KNOW ABOUT THE MAN WHO MIKE
PENCE CHOSE AS HIS PERSONAL LAWYER.
THIS IS NOT SOME WHIPPER SNAPPER, SOME UP AND COMING WHIZ
KID AT THE START OF HIS CAREER. THE GUY MIKE PENCE JUST CHOSE TO
BE HIS PRIVATE LAWYER FOR THESE INVESTIGATIONS HAS BEEN AROUND
FOR A LONG WHILE. ONE OF THE THINGS HE'S KNOWN FOR
IN HIS CAREER IS THE VERY INTERESTING ROLE HE'S HAD IN
OTHER BIG REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL SCANDALS.
>> AND IN OUR WASHINGTON STUDIOS NOW FORMER AIR FORCE GENERAL
RICHARD SEACOURT IN THE CONTRA SUPPLY OPERATION.
GENERAL, THOSE ARE STRONG ACCUSATIONS AGAINST YOU.
IT IS HARD FOR THE PUBLIC, I WOULD GUESS, TO ACCEPT THE FACT
THAT IN THE INTEREST OF KEEPING PROJECT DEMOCRACY ALIVE A LOT OF
PEOPLE WERE MAKING MONEY ACCORDING TO SENATOR PAUL
TRIBBLE AND YOU AMONG THEM. >> THE SENATOR HAS TRIED REPEAT
LID TO COLOR ME AND MY ASSOCIATES AS PROFITEERS.
I HAVE REFUTED THE CHARGES WITH SPECIFICS MANY, MANY TIMES.
>> I REALLY COULD NOT HEAR ALL THAT CLEARLY BECAUSE OF
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS. LET ME SAY THIS.
LET THE EVIDENCE SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
I THINK THERE IS CLEARLY -- >> I CANT HEAR WHAT HE'S SAYING.
>> THE INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT THAT CLEARLY THIS ISN'T THE WAY
TO TRANSACT THE BUSINESS. THERE ARE NO CHECKS AND BALTSS,
NO ACCOUNTING. GOOD PEOPLE AND POLICY GET IN
TROUBLE. WE HEARD IT THROUGH THE
TESTIMONY OF OLIVER NORTH TODAY. THERE WAS NO ACCOUNTING
WHATSOEVER. HE WAS RELYING ON HAKEEM,
SEACOURT AND OTHERS AND I DON'T THINK THEY WERE WELL SERVED.
>> YOU USED A SPECIFIC IN TERMS OF SAYING HE MADE A PROFIT OF
MORE THAN 40% ON ONE TRANSACTION.
ARE YOU CONFIDENT OF THE FIGURES?
>> THOSE ARE HIS PARTNERS' FIGURES SUPPLIED UNDER OATH.
HE CAN'T DISPUTE THAT. >> WHAT ABOUT THAT GENERAL
SECORD? >> I CAN DISPUTE IT AND I HAVE.
>> I LOVE THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO HAVE A FIGHT AND THEY'RE
LIKE, IS THAT HIM? CAN YOU HEAR HIM?
THAT HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME. TOM BROKAW, 1987 HOSTING A FIGHT
BETWEEN RICHARD SECORD, RETIRED AIR FORCE GENERAL, WITH A KEY
ROLE IN THE IRAN CONTRA SCANDAL AND REPUBLICAN U.S. SENATOR
NAMED PAUL TRIBUL FROM VIRGINIA. IRAN CONTRA WAS A SCANDAL IN A
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENCY. PAUL TRIBULL WAS ON THE
COMMITTEE THAT INVESTIGATED THE IRAN CONTRA SCANDAL AND HE MADE
HIMSELF A HUGE PAIN IN THE BUTT TO AMONG OTHER PEOPLE RICHARD
SECORD FOR ALLEGEDLY HIDING HIS SWISS BANK ACCOUNT RECORDS WHILE
CONGRESS WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE MONEY FLOW BETWEEN THE
REAGAN ADMINISTRATION ILLEGALLY SELLING WEAPONS TO IRAN AND
ILLEGALLY SHIPPING WEAPONS TO CENTRAL AMERICA.
THEY THOUGHT THE MONEY WENT THROUGH RICHARD SECORD AND PAUL
TRIBULL WAS TRYING TO FIND THE MONEY AND IT MADE SECORD REALLY
MAD. A REPUBLICAN BUT HE BECAME A
REAL COMBATANT, AN AGGRESSIVE FIGURE IN THE IRAN-CONTRA
SCANDAL. TO DEFEND HIMSELF AND HIS OWN
INTERESTS IN THE SCANDAL HE HIRED -- RECOGNIZE HIM?
HE HIRED RICHARD COHEN, THE SAME GUY MIKE PENCE JUST HIRED TO
REPRESENT HIM IN OUR CURRENT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL SCANDAL.
IT'S VERY INTERESTING. RICHARDARD CULLEN HAD A SIMILAR
ROLE IN WATERGATE. VERY INTERESTING.
HE WAS ALSO A LAWYER FOR A REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN DURING
WATERGATE NAMED CALDWELL BUTLER, A REPUBLICAN FROM VIRGINIA.
HE WAS A REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF CONGRESS WHO FOUND HIMSELF IN
THE MIDDLE OF A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL SCANDAL.
HE WAS IN HIS FIRST TERM IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
HE GOT UP AS A BRAND NEW REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF CONGRESS
AND CALDWELL BUTLER QUESTIONED HOW PRESIDENT NIXON DID WHAT HE
COULD HAVE DONE. CONGRESSMAN BUTLER VOTED TO
IMPEACH NIXON THOUGH HE HAD PREVIOUSLY SUPPORTED NIXON.
HE'S FAMOUS FOR STANDING UP AND SAYING WATERGATE IS OUR SHAME AS
A REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF CONGRESS. PREVIOUSLY AN ALLY OF PRESIDENT
NIXON. CONGRESSMAN BUTLER, TOO, HAD A
LAWYER WHO WAS REPRESENTING HIS INTERESTS WHEN HE TOOK THIS
STAND OVER AND ABOVE HIS PARTY'S INTERESTS DURING WATERGATE.
HIS LAWYER WAS -- RICHARD CULLEN.
WHO MIKE PENCE JUST HIRED TO REPRESENT HIM IN THE
INVESTIGATION INTO THE TRUMP RUSSIA AFFAIR AND POTENTIAL
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. AND SO IT'S VERY INTERESTING
THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS FELT THE NEED TO HIRE PRIVATE
COUNSEL, RIGHT? THE SPECIFIC PRIVATE COUNSEL
HE'S CHOSEN, WHO KNOWS IF WE SHOULD EXTRAPOLATE FROM THOSE
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES IN PREVIOUS PRESIDENTIAL SCANDALS.
THE SAME ATTORNEY ALSO REPRESENTED TIGER WOODS'S WIFE
IN THEIR DIVORCE. I CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING OUT OF
THAT IN THIS SCANDAL. IT WOULD APPEAR VICE PRESIDENT
MIKE PENCE DOES HAVE STUFF TO WORRY ABOUT HERE.
ON THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION HE REPEATEDLY MADE WHAT ARE UTTERLY
IMPLAUSIBLE STATEMENTS DENYING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONCERNS
ABOUT MIKE FLYNN OR MIKE FLYNN'S FOREIGN TIES DESPITE THE FACT
THAT VICE PRESIDENT PENCE WAS THE HEAD OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
TRANSITION EFFORT WHEN THE TRANSITION EFFORT WAS NOTIFIED
FORMALLY IN WRITING AND IN PERSON MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT
THOSE PROBLEMS WITH MIKE FLYNN THAT MIKE PENCE PROFESSED SO
MUCH IGNORANCE ABOUT. THE WHITE HOUSE HAS DESCRIBED
VICE PRESIDENT PENCE AS BEING INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN
DISCUSSIONS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT LED TO THE DECISION TO FIRE
JAMES COMEY. DESPITE HIM BEING SUCH A
SUPPOSED INSIDER, BEING SO INVOLVED IN THE DECISION THE
VICE PRESIDENT REPEATEDLY MADE STATEMENTS ABOUT WHY JAMES COMEY
WAS FIRED THAT WERE LATER CONTRADICTED BY THE PRESIDENT
HIMSELF THAT WERE CONTRADICTED UNDER OATH BY JAMES COMEY.
MIKE PENCE STOOD BEFORE THE CAMERAS AND SAID THE JAMES COMEY
FIRING HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA, SAID IT WAS ONLY IN
RESPONSE TO ROD ROSEN STEIN'S MEMO.
NEITHER OF THOSE APPEAR TO BE THE CASE.
THEY ARE NOW CONTRADICTED BY THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF.
SO GIVEN THE VICE PRESIDENT'S EXPOSURE ON BOTH OF THOSE THINGS
WHICH HAPPEN TO BE BOTH MAJOR ELEMENTS OF ROBERT MUELLER'S
INVESTIGATION, BOTH THE RUSSIA ISSUE AND THE POTENTIAL
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE ISSUE IT'S NOT SURPRISING THAT THE
VICE PRESIDENT HAS NOW FOUND HIMSELF A PRIVATE LAWYER.
BUT, OH, WHAT A PRIVATE LAWYER HE HAS GOT.
THAT NEWS BREAKING TONIGHT. WASHINGTON POST FIRST TO BREAK
THE STORY AS THEY HAVE BEEN AHEAD ON SO MANY OF THE TWISTS
AND TURNS IN THIS INVESTIGATION. THERE ARE TWO OTHER PIECES OF
-------------------------------------------
Former Watergate Prosecutor: Donald Trump Is A 'Nightmare Client' | The 11th Hour | MSNBC - Duration: 4:10.>>> AS A DEFENSE LAWYER, HE IS YOUR NIGHTMARE CLIENT, BECAUSE
HE IS SAYING ALL THE WRONG THINGS.
HE IS CONTRADICTING EVERY DEFENSE THAT HE HAD.
ALL OF HIS TWEETS ARE TERRIBLE. HIS ATTACK ON MUELLER SAYING
THESE ARE BAD PEOPLE. THESE ARE NOT HELPFUL TO THE
DEFENSE AT ALL.
>> THAT WAS A FORMER WATERGATE ASSISTANT PROSECUTOR WEIGHING IN
ON JUST HOW TOUGH IT MIGHT BE TO REPRESENT THIS PRESIDENT IN THIS
INVESTIGATION. WE HAVE TWO VERY CAPABLE LAWYERS
WITH US HERE TONIGHT IN THE STUDIO TO WEIGH IN.
RICHARD PAINTER, WHO WAS THE CHIEF ETHICS LAWYER FOR THE BUSH
43 WHITE HOUSE. AND MIKA OWE YANG IS BACK WITH
US AS WELL AN ATTORNEY AND FORMER STAFFER ON THE HOUSE
INTEL AND HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE.
COUNSELLORS, WELCOME TO YOU. RICHARD, TO JILL'S POINT, IS
THIS THE NIGHTMARE CLIENT? AND IN LIGHT THE VP LAWYERING
UP, IS THIS GOING TO END UP COSTING SO MANY PEOPLE SOME REAL
MONEY? >> OH, YES.
THIS ADMINISTRATION IS CREATING A LOT OF JOBS IN ONE INDUSTRY
FOR SURE, THAT'S CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS IN WASHINGTON,
D.C. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LAWYERING
UP. THERE'S -- THIS INVESTIGATION IS
GOING TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS.
IT STARTED WITH RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THE ELECTION.
AND WHO WAS ASSISTING THE RUSSIANS.
BUT THERE'S NOW CLEAR EVIDENCE OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE B BY E
PRESIDENT AND PERHAPS OTHERS IN THE ADMINISTRATION.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY SERIOUS INVESTIGATION.
THE PROBLEM IS THE PRESIDENT CAN'T PUT HIS TWITTER AWAY.
HE CAN'T KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT WITH RESPECT TO THE
INVESTIGATION. HE IS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES. HE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON HEALTH
CARE, ON JOBS, ON THE INTERNATIONAL CRISES AROUND THE
WORLD. LET IT ALONE.
IFU HE WOULD LET THE WHOLE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION ALONE, HE
PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ANYWHERE NEAR AS MUCH TROUBLE AS HE'S IN
NOW. SO IT'S VERY UNFORTUNATE.
HE'S BECOMING OBSESSED WITH IT. NOW HIS SON-IN-LAW IS WRAPPED UP
IN IT. THE OTHER THIN IS THEY WON'T BE
TRANSPARENT ABOUT THEIR FINANCES.
IF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION WERE TO DISCLOSE WHERE THEY ARE
BORROWING THEIR MONEY, THE PRESIDENT WERE TO DISCLOSE THEIR
TAX RETURNS, IF WE HAD MORE TRANSPARENCY THERE WOULD BE MORE
CONFIDENCE IN THIS ADMINISTRATION, BUT THEY WON'T
DO IT. THEY ARE BUCKLING DOWN, THEY ARE
NOT DISCLOSING WHAT THEY NEED TO DISCLOSE AND THEY ARE CALLING IT
A WITCH-HUNT. IT'S NOT A WITCH HUNT.
IT IS AN ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT WHO
WAS ASSISTING A FOREIGN COUNTRY IN ATTACKING THE UNITED STATES
AND OUR SYSTEM OF DEMOCRACY. >> MIKA OUR COLLEAGUE ARE
MEDICAL BETTER SAID TODAY ON THE AIR, MR. PRESIDENT, TODAY BEGINS
THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE STARTING
TODAY, IF THESE REPORTS ARE TO BE BELIEVED, AND HIS MORNING
TWEET WAS KIND OF A TACIT CONFIRMATION, HE IS UNDER
FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. TELL OUR AUDIENCE WHAT HAPPENS
TO YOUR LIFE NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE WHEN YOU COME UNDER THE
GLARE OF A FEDERALAL PROSECUTOR >> SO WHEN YOU ARE UNDER A
FEDERAL PROSECUTOR'S GLARE LIKE THIS WHAT HAPPENS IS EVERYTHING
THAT YOU DO IS UNT SCRUTINY. THEY CAN GET WARRANTS TO LISTEN
TO YOUR COMMUNICATIONS, THEY CAN LOOK AT ALL OF YOUR DOCUMENTS.
POLITICALLY IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO GET ANY OF YOUR
AGENDA DONE BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO WORK WITH YOU FOR FEAR OF
WORKING WITH SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO BE UNDER CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION. IT REALLY MAKES HIS LIFE VERY
DIFFICULT. >> THE WORDING OF THESE TWEETS,
NOT JUST TEMPTING FATE BUT ALREADY TRYING TO CRIMINALIZE
ROBERT MUTUALER. >> -- MUELLER.
>> HESS REPUTATION FOR INTEGRITY AND PROFESSIONALISM IS UNMATCHED
ON EITHER SIDE OF THE AISLE. IT IS REALLY A

Justin Biebers ex-girlfriends mantra appears to be about always flashing the flesh. **CLICK TO SEE SAHARA RAY NAKED** Well, judging by her Instagram page that is.
And today was no different for Sahara Ray, as her entire boob jumped out of her bikini during a photoshoot in Mexico.
The 24-year-old Australian bombshell was modelling her own swimwear range when her left boob completely fell out of her top. As a result, the blonde beauty revealed her piercing to the world for all to see.
Although, by the looks of it Sahara found the entire situation hilarious as she was pictured laughing on the beach.
The swimsuit designer quickly rectified the problem and continued to pose up a storm on the sand.
The major wardrobe fail wasnt the only reason Saharas outfit was on the rather racy side though, as the bottom half of the bikini was eye-wateringly small, and dangerously high cut.
In fact, we could nearly see Saharas nether regions as she cooled down in the sea.
Despite exposing her privates in public, Sahara appeared to enjoy the rest of her shoot with a friend as she posed in her scarlet two-piece.
This isnt the first time Saharas flashed the flesh this week, as she was recently spotted sizzling in a sinful bikini. Meanwhile, the Instagram vixen was spotted exposing her nipples in a see-through bra.

KONYKART - V3, Start-up development project of Go Cart, 3D CAD mechanical design - Duration: 1:49.Hi, my name is Tomas Konecny and today we will show you how the V3 steering wheel design looks.
Here is the bottom and top plastic part of a mobile phone holder made on a 3D printer.
The lower part of the holder is firmly screwed to the steering wheel.
The upper part of the holder can be moved up and down.
In the rear there is a plastic wing nut, which secures the fastening of the upper part by tightening.
Before inserting your mobile phone, you need to enable the wing nut and snap the top bracket.
Now you can put your mobile phone in the bottom bracket.
We now pull down the top part so that the mobile phone is fully fixed.
For information only, the square between the steering wheel holders is a QR code sticker for loading the application in your mobile phone.
At the end, just tighten the wing nut and the mobile phone is attached to the steering wheel.
Thank you for your attention and see the next video tutorial.
