6:17 pm
clinton. it reinforces everything he said and also, you look and you understand, you know, if you look at it with a reasonable, non-partisan mind, you understand why the justice department couldn't bring a tape. there wasn't anything there. they didn't have proof of things. they had, she made some questionable decisions that left herself open to insecure or national security information. was she putting classified information at risk. because nothing happened, it was hard to bring a case. it doesn't resolve. we'll have more e-mails. trump he keeps getting it in his way, immigration and things like that. as much as the trump campaign wants to prosecute on this issue, their lack of transparency doesn't help or undermines it credibility. there are no tax returns to look

6:19 pm
points here and a couple there. a good chunk of six to eight points moved from clinton to other. it didn't go to trump. does that mean trump can't grow? i think that's something the trump campaign has to be concerned about. the bad news, they didn't gain. >> chuck todd, thank you. more to come on sunday on "meet the press". 10:30 on nbc 4. >> you may have heard of terrible traffic tuesday. traffic picks up all throughout the month of september. local experts call it the september shock. adam tuss explains how long it could have you stuck in traffic. >> reporter: longer and longer and longer in the car. >> it is brutal, yes. it's definitely sometimes very painful. i try to avoid it as best i can.

6:26 pm
radar itself. not only is this a gorgeous vehicle, it's a great science vehicle that gives us information on what is happening with the atmosphere around us. so, this whole truck is able to be a functioning weather station. that can allow us to give you better information. now, if you look up at the sky right now, those clouds and rainfall are at about 4,000 feet. this radar, being close down to the ground allows us to see details we wouldn't originally be able to see without it. that allows us to give better information and so this, combined with other tools such as the weather service radars, make the coverage better using chopper 4, future tracker. it's another tool in the tool kit. i want to show you where we have another crew with the storm team 4 x 4. we have six foot breaker waves expected tock

6:32 pm
more than 50 garages and lots spread far and wide, a necessity for metro riders. >> it's convenient. you get what you pay for. >> reporter: they are asking contractors to make a bid to take over and be responsible for the upkeep of the lot and garages and keep the bulk of the revenue earned each day. >> parking is a part of how people come to the system, but not in the core of the business. >> reporter: they suggest, but don't require the contractor to keep the smart trip card system and said they encourage them to be creative in their proposal and how to maintain the benefits for transit customers. they open the door to fare hikes and charges for weekend and holiday parking if
6:33 pm
contractor chooses and if metro's board approves. >> all my constituents that live in germantown that only have access to one station complain about the lack of parking spaces and the price. >> reporter: metro's formal request, they want to cut a 50 yearlong parking agreement starting in july. the agency's board president would prefer a local company get the deal. the board president say this only works if metro can make more money than it makes now, either an initial lump sum payment from the contractor or a type of annual payment. proposals due to metro by the end of october. scott macfarlane news 4. back to you. >> thank you. a massage therapist from virginia has been arrested and facing a dozen charges. juan carlos touched her inappropriately during a ma sass z. she visited citya
