going. >> four times in the past eight months, caught taking money on camera wean from fbi agents. not a sting operation, certainly took the money and we understand too that he is cooperating with vest vet gators, so the question, what is now still to come? >> michael brown is the focus. who will he implicate? where does this thing go? two years on the investigation of the corruption and the allegations made about the shadow campaign, all of that stuff and they seem to be really coming on hard and moving a lot faster, and should be really dramatic revelations. >> the name popping up this week, vincent orange, that he has been questioned. no allegations mated, but some of the funding he's been getting, what are his sources, where it's coming from.

michael brown plead guilty to taking the wrong kind of campaign money, and doing the wrong kind of things in his own campaign, accepting in effect a bribe. he's the big story, we're moving in the sense he's being talked about. >> and some of the other talk circling around the mayor. a lot of shakeiness in the mayor's area, particular well a woman named jeanne clark harris. >> right. >> who i guess was indicted this week, or at least charged, with funneling money to different areas. an interesting timeline of events, the money from what wean, was fwath everied from a gentleman named jeffrey thomas, so the money comes from jeffrey thomas, to jeanne harris and

passed along to friends and political al lieus making to installations to get around the campaign funding, something authority don't like. ith very interesting -- >> our sources say this just means things will speed up. in a matter of weeks, we could see this come to a big head. >> the mayor has not xhnted on it. all he will say is i'm not guilty, words to that effect. and b, we have a situation going on that i can't comment on. a lot of people think plitt ukly he really should say something, even though legally, he is constra constrained. that he mute -- some of his critics say be losing the battle. when he's crossing the ts and dotting the is. >> vincent orange said he couldn't talk? >> particular knickly, when an

investigation is going on. lawyers usually say don't say anything to anybody. but there comes a time when people's suspicious get to the point where you almost have to say something or people will suspect the worst. >> let me point this out too. one of the larger questions from the viewers and a lot of people we talk to, you have a-brown who follows harry thomas, who follows kwame brown, pleaed guilty to bank fraud almost a year ago. the question, what were you thinking? wheat going on down there? all three individuals are i suppose like us individuals. fathers served in local government. some people would say it's an xwuttlement thing. we feel entitled with past associations of family. >> they've all been around a long time and should have known

better and probably did know better. some people think it's deeper than that. in this city, you have a one-party town. democrat uk party. republicans are a postage stamp, very little clout. occasionally one will get through. carol schwartz, but generally speaking, republicans have a tough time. open up the primary and maybe other people who are independents, whatever, might have a shot after getting the office. that will make it more competitive and tougher for people who do not feel they are entitled. a lot of people looking at the entire council. not indicting them. but it's not a great place for morality. >> montgomery county, an interesting race, very competitive shaping up. ike leggett wants to run for a

third term as county executive. and the former county executive throwing his name into the race. >> he promised his wife he wouldn't do it. and he said she's kind of okay with it. doug duncan, the big county executive for years, revitalized silver spring, ran for governor and dropped out when he said he had severe depression issues, that will probably come up in the campaign. leggett, going into his third term. as we were discussing before the show, he can tout a lot of things eases done, but he's been there a while. built up enemies, opposition. ismont fwomry county too expensive? >> leggett will say he closed this large budget shortfall, but he did it on the backs of the taxpayers. i live in montgomery county, i hear my neighbors, colleagues,

what have you. montgomery county a very expensive place to live to begin with, and it all focuses or at least centers around the poster child for some of the money being thrown around is the ambulance tax, very hotly contested for a while. people will remember this i think when he comes up for election. >> awe

welcome back. lets shift across the river to virginia. a unified party into the summer. republicans, a lightning rod figure on the lieutenant governor side in the name of e.w. jackson, made some very polarizing statements in his past. >> to give terry mcall of you a

half, have you ralph northham as lou continue ant governor. mcauliffe thought it would help him. they won't distrablgt. good old boys, mild-mannered democrat and seem somewhat popular with the electorate, the way they were elected. it wasn't a party convention, it was a primary. not so with the republican ticket. >> one thing to keep in mind looking at the republican ticket, going back to democrats and this primary, the extremely low turnout for the primary, less than 3% of state with 5 million registered the voters, doesn't fare well on interest in these candidates. >> and e.w. jackson, running, a

lightning rod. made some anti gay statements and also sawed -- i want to get this right. he has lunked yoga with satan. >> and planned parenthood he compared to the kkk. >> whether he can enlarge upon his popularity with the body politic, independent, democrats and moderates, remains to be seen. >> we have seen him move away from some remarks. is that going to be a drag on tickets up and down? >> already kuchinelli accused of running away from this particular candidate. he stands -- he has his

campaign, i have my campaign. there is part of the campaign, and if he's with the other two in the voter's minds, kuchinelli must believe in what he's saying. >> if unity falls to the way side, they will have a tough time going forward in the political season. >> safe to say, this is a very expensive campaign. terry mcauliffe knows a thing or two about raising money. former money man for hilary clinton, bill clinton. critics say all on he knows how to do is raise money and be a party hack. supporters say he's independent minded guy, what the state needs. a regional issue. here we go again. suburbs versus the district. something you are well aware of.

this proposal for commuter -- some are calling it a commuter tax. some call it a bus fee tax. >> you buses that are not specifically metro buses could be taxed. immediately, everyone says dpurt tax, computer tax. the idea that got a test ba ron sort of thing, the air retreating. >> eleanor, the home assortment called, said it just went going to go through. interesting they would have floated that test balloon. they know how this place in this area in this very unique area, virginia, maryland, d.c. everybody pours into d.c. each and every day. something needs to be worked out about this. because truly -- there is a wear

and tear on the district that is incurred by people coming in and out each day. something needs to be done to rectify that. >> and insist through the federal payment and other funding they more than make up for that. that's the argument. the city doesn't buy it. but there's where you are. >> let's shift to education now. and in the district "the washington post" had an article. small percentage of student coming out of these closing schools are enrolling in public schools. i think it was 13% of those students. what does this is a about d.c. public schools and charter schools? >> if they don't meet enrollment projections that is bad for t.c. schools. in the long run, it may bode well for them, because it -- it allows them to strengthen those schools going forward. the water is going to be at its

natural level. if those students are going to other schools it will force d.c. public school tosses get their act together. >> in time, many more students -- they don't have other papers together, they are looking at options, but in time, she is convinced a sufficient number will enroll in d.c. schools. you make a point. they lose funding if they don't come up to full capacity. let's ebb end on a positive note. maryland, staying with ed caution and tops in the nation over an eight-year period. very top at the list in the country. >> very interesting, d.c. came in fourth. west virginia, which we don't talk about much, right in the bottom it all comes down to money. we talked about this last week as well. you had ai difference of agreement on this. the money spent in montgomery county schools per pupil, much

greater than surrounding counties and around the nation as well. i think it's -- you are seeing the result of that in this fries of lou income student performance. >> maryland, in contrast to other states, seems to have a different political view, and it's -- it's solidly democratic, willing to have government -- even bigger government come in, solve some of its problems as virginia does not in all cases, and they make investments in education and you do have montgomery county is a good xac choice. >> we'll see you on "viewpoint" shortly. back to news 4 today. enjoy the rest of your sunday, everybody. fighting back.

to averting terrorist attacks in the united states. i think that's the prevailing view. the difficulty, we never had a debate post 9/11 to say, okay, at some point we need to re-evaluate our security state and some of our methods, and i think that's some of the backlash. the immediate focus is what happens to edward snowden. are there more secrets that are forthcoming, legislation about the idea of who has access to this type of classified information. >> on the talks of alleged secret surveillance of americans, you had james clapper using this metaphor of the surveillance as a library catalog system, and it would be very different to have it all there, but to pull a book you

would need some type of a warrant. >> right, the idea -- the defense, there is lots of information they collect, but they are not looking at it. they keep it there, build a haystack, so if you have something, you need to find a needle, you can go back and have the haystack to begin with, that's all the metaphor that they've used. again, their argument, they have thwarted terrorist attacks as a result of this program. are there enough checks and balances. we wouldn't be having this debate if it wasn't for this leak. >> hillary clinton joining twitter and her profile. what do you make of it? a lot of speculation. >> the tbd. >> i doan think there are a lot of secrets. she is certainly positioning herself to run and most people believe she is going to run for president. taken every step you would want to, to both separate herself from her husband, which she did
