and given the circumstances here, it's at least possible that the federal government could prosecute a federal death penalty as well. i don't want to get too far ahead. but certainly given the magnitude of this crime, and apparently premeditated murder of a law enforcement official, that would certainly be eligible for both the death penalty in pennsylvania, and in a federal prosecution, but, the key is, just to state the obvious, he's not going anywhere. he's not going to get out on bail. and the federal government and the commonwealth of pennsylvania can sort of who is going to prosecute him when. >> and the court will give him a lawyer fairly quickly. >> immediately. >> immediately. we'll see if he made in statements that will be interesting. he was certainly given his miranda rights once he was arrested. but he may have made statements to the people who arrested him as well. >> you say he won't have any trouble finding a lawyer. >> absolutely not. he's absolutely a very reviled fight your, but certainly when there's a death penalty possibility on the table, there is, especially i

federal government warns of a scam that is growing. despite alerts from the f.b.i. about it. scammers call your home claiming that you owe money and need to pay up or risk prosecution. and the calls are fairly convincing. >> i'm calming regarding enforcement actions executed by u.s. treasury. >> they're calling about a federal offense that you're being prosecuted for and you need to contact them immediately. >> mary johnson is the woman there. she looked up that phone number on the internet and found scores of posts from people who received similar calls. the i.r.s. says that it is aware of the scam and it wants you to know that the agency will never call you about money that you owe without a mailing or an official notice first. and they also said the i.r.s. will never threaten to arrest ou for not paying. >> new information tonight about the death of joan rivers. the new york medical examiner reports the comedian died of therapeutic complications. while that means that rivers' death resulted from a predictable complication of medical therapy. she was undergoing a procedure to evaluate her voice changes and stomach reflux. during the procedure, her vocal chord spa

bringing federal prosecutions under a statute that is supposed to prevent another enron to this guy who destroyed his red grouper. or improperly fished red grouper. i guess the fish did not belong to him. but the government wrote a shockingly good brief, a really, really good brief, and i think a lot of observers are now -- i mean, i think everyone at least when it was granted predicted this was going to be another big loss like government overreaching. so we'll see what happens. i mean, the argument on the defendant's side is record, document, tangible object. the tangible object is something like a computer or a file cabinet, i guess, that would hold documents. but i don't know, i think the government at least makes a pretty obviously convincing case that there's no question that a fish is tangible object. so in terms of people who like to watch, i think i like to make fun of both conservatives and liberals. if you're a conservative, this case is very difficult because on the one hand, it's just outrageous prosecution. it's government abuse. but on the other hand, there's a strong

it seems silly that they are devoting resources to bring federal prosecution under a statute that is supposed to prevent another enron to destroy his red grouper or improperly fished red grouper, i guess the fish did not belong to him. the government wrote a shockingly good brief and i think a lot of observers are now -- i think everyone at least when it was granted predicted this was going to be another big loss. we'll see what happens. i mean the argument on the defendant's side is record, documents, tangible objects. the tangible objects is something like a computer or a file cabinet that would hold documents. i don't know, i think the government at least makes a pretty obviously convincing case. there's no question that a fish is a tangible object. so in terms of people who like to watch and to make fun both of conservatives and liberals. if you're conservative this case is very difficult because on the one hand it's government abuse. on the other hand there's a strong statutory the government has if you believe in plain language. it's interesting to see people's reactions to thi

and states that have marijuana laws like colorado and washington we shouldn't be using federal dollars to prosecute people in our nate. sthls -- this is a way to save taxpayers dollars. >> i'm going cut cut you off there. >> i would like to pivot to the fatal shooting of michael brown and the choke hold death of eric garner in staten island. these cases reignited tensions between the police in the minority community and exposed deep mistrust with police. there's a gallop poll that's shows 64% of the people have no confident in the police. >> i want to exples -- compress my condolences to the families of the people who died. i believe there are common sense things we can do in criminal justice reform to actually repair that problem. take marijuana what we were just talking about. there are no differences in marijuana usage for blacks and whites. the last three presidents admitted to smoking marijuana but one did not inhale. blacks are four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana usage than whites. we need to work together to correct this. wewe live in a nation that is has an interwoven destin

these get prosecuted in federal court. lou: never mind. >> every time they go in your computer you're subjected to five years possible imprisonment. lou: how about jennifer lawrence and the other starlets. >> what she's saying doesn't help the cause. lou: doesn't help her cause. with mercedes going after her. >> the law is more broadly construed. if anyone comes into your computer for anything of your schedule when you have to till the fields or your naked photos, it's a crime. anybody who goes into your computer and they're not allowed to, they're going to jail. here is where the law needs to catch up with reality. what about the people that were paying to make our computers safe? what about the clouds where we're paying them for storage to keep our stuff safe? >> wait a minute. what about accountability here though, arthur? i'm not talking about people that create the cloud, manage the cloud. they happen to be clients. there is disclaimer there. there has to be some accountability. lou: and with all these folks taking nu

i don't know that the department of justice or anyone else in the federal investigated or prosecuted that. i'm not sure on the liability repercussions. and it is really thick among the community working on the climate change into a lot of other things when we consider the full weight of the government and the private sector standing on our backs. what i would like to know if have you considered that the federal government might reassure all americans that it's working to protect everyone and not protecting members of the chamber of commerce when things like this happen. >> at its private consumers, companies or nonprofit organizations, and in fact we have seen too often got they are targeted on the cyber attack b-day by the nationstate adversaries or criminal groups. and so i would encourage those who are -- who suffered a breach to come and work with law enforcement as the crying as they would have in any other circumstance. and we would be happy to work and are working on cases like that all across the country >> other questions on today's topic if you would please >> politico cybe

federal and state one, had enough. they dismissed all charges by the prosecution and let him go. he's on the street for two and a half years now. >> keenan filed a motion to have his charges overturned as well and succeeded. a federal judge vacated his conviction and death sentence. but the prosecution decided to pursue a third trial. soon, a state judge will decide either to let the trial take place or to grant keenan's motion to dismiss the charges for good. >> so third trial, death is still on the table. >> right. their plan is to convict me and sentence me to death again. this is the prosecutor's case against me. now, i don't understand where they come up with 17,000 pages. but i know they don't have any evidence, because they didn't have any evidence on my co-defendant. he's been free and clear for two and a half years. 222 witnesses now for a case that's 23 years old. means they're taking people out of graveyards. it's all smoke and mirrors. >> but the judge's decision due in just seven days, keenan not only believes he will prevail, he has already made plans for life on the

the prosecution, the federal government wants khan to remain behind bars, his defense will argue for some sort of bail. and that will be the bulk of this relatively short hearing. they will also likely set a trial date. but today's focus should this 19-year-old be detained until trial or should he be out on bond? >> all right, ted rowlands at the federal courthouse in chicago. you will keep us posted. thanks so much. >>> taking a look at other top stories this morning, protests erupt in st. louis after a police officer shoots and kills an armed 18-year-old black man. the police chief said the suspect approached the officer in an, aggressive manner, a fight ensued, the suspect then fired three rounds at the officer. the officer, who was not injured, fired 17 times, fatally wounding the man. >>> the supreme court is allowing new voting restrictions in north carolina to go into effect. the justices reversed a federal appeals courts decision that would have allowed same-day registration and counted votes cast mistakenly in the wrong precincts. >>> at&t will give $80 million back to its c

do have marijuana laws, like colorado, and washington, that we shouldn't be using our federal dollars to prosecute people that are abiding by the laws of their state. and so this is a chance for us to in a bipartisan way to do common sense things to make our streets safer, save taxpayer dollars and something i thought my opponent would like and better invest in things that we need to grow -- >> i have to cut you off because we have to move on. my next question goes to you. i would like to pivot to the fatal shooting of michael brown in ferguson, missouri, and the chokehold death of darren gardner in staten island and these two cases reignited tensions between police and the minority community. and really just exposed deep mistrust with police. there is a recent gallup poll that shows 64% of blacks have very little or no confidence in police. what can you do to help bridge that divide? >> well, first of all, i want to express my sympathies to the families of both of these men that died. their deaths were tragedies. and i know their families are mourning right now. as many people in those communitie

the federal government's selective prosecution policies are only those who commit serious felonies.ties now refuse to honor deportation requests on criminals. 75% statistics say re-offend. 62% released had previous convictions. the worst offender is northern california which stopped the transfer of criminal aliens by 53%. martha: william, thank you very much. bill: the white house and state officials at odds over healthcare workers coming home from west africa. why the white house is against the policy. >> the best way to protect us is to stop the epidemic in africa and we these need those workers. we don't want to put them in a position where itments uncomfortable to even volunteer. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they'll only show up when you print a label and it's automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics. sweered lobster'sory! endless shrimp ends soon! the year's large

. >> they are calling about a federal offense you are being prosecuted for and you need to contact themimmediately. >> the caller did not say what agency he represented, so she looked up the telephone number online and got angry. she turn up scores of posts from people who had received similar calls from the same california number. all the calls were part of a huge scam, so she called the number back, and the man who called her picked up. >> they said they had a word for my arrest. i said what for. he said we were running behind on our taxes. a statementeleased saying they are aware of the scam going around the country, making it clear that they never call about taxes you owe without first mailing an official notice. and they never threaten to bring in law enforcement to have you arrested for not paying. that is exactly what the caller did to johnson. >> he said, did you file by yourself or did you file with an accountant? your callnow, because is being monitored. at that point i told him, your call is being monitored, too. >> and that is when the caller hung up. the calls are happening

the district attorney who now takes over in this prosecution, which is now going to be a prosecution, and the federal and local law enforcement officers, and we know the commissioner will name all those. in addition, law enforcement agencies from around the company that peated and volunteered. i want to thank the residents of the north-eastern peninsula. particularly those whose patients, tolerance and perseverance have been a tremendous support and lift to all the law enforcement personnel that have been working there day and night on the investigation. you demonstrate the best of peninsula. when i was in the west i ran into a couple from here in pike country who were under way to western county. they talked about nothing more than what was happening in support for law enforcement and what they were doing. the support of the community has been instrumental to all of law enforcement. finally i want to stop here and turn it over to the current commissioner, and again to the family of trooper dixon, to the family of trooper douglas, and trooper douglas, let me assure you, from everybody here, justice w

. >> information obtained by the bureau under the federal criminal procedure couldn't be shared outside prosecutingeam. we had justice department instructions to keep intelligence and anything about that completely separate from law enforcement. >> a lot of the substance is looking into the connections that were not really shared with the foreign intelligence community. this is principally a law enforcement matter and seen that way at the time. just as it had been in the 80s. you had a broad movement with an identity, but we can't track it back. maybe sometimes we can to some degree, but more times than not, it's by al qaeda. >> can you say to the american people. here's what we need to be better at what we do. >> world trade center one. you invested a neighborhood where the bomb had been built. they said it didn't belong here and they came in day and night. in the storage facility. the next question is did it occur to talk to somebody about that? >> the mid-1990s, al qaeda was competing for dominance. if are all of them, westerners were an ideal target. bin laden moved operations from saudi arabia

they may be able to prosecute for violations of civil rights at the federal level and they would also be able to help with self actions. so i can see them playing the same role here that they played with rodney king. >> again, i want to try to be at least open in my head at least, the justice system may have to step in, pick up the baton and run this. that sounds like if y'all don't incite you were wrong for indicting. that's a different argument to me trying to say they have been wrong for being a predatory government. i'm absolutely 10 0% with you but friends see bill maher and say he was acting like michael brown, he was acting like a thug said bill maher. the government may have been predatory toward the citizenry but when we say the justice department has to pick up the baton and finish running the race, do you see my point? it sounds like we're making them indict. >> i should have added the quota. if the evidence is there to indict. >> there you go. >> all right. >> okay now -- >> i'm sorry. i was assuming that there was an assumption i was making. if the evidence shows that mic

prosecution. and all the federal and local law enforcement officers who have been involved in this also, and i know that the commissioner will name all of those. additionally, law enforcement agencies from around the country that participated, that volunteered to participate in this. but i particularly want to thank the residents of northeastern pennsylvania, particularly the pike and monroe areas, whose patience and tolerance and perseverance have been a tremendous support to lift all the law-enforcement personnel that have been working out there day and night on this mission. you demonstrate the very best of pennsylvania. just today, when i was in the western part of the state, i ran into a couple from here in pike county who were on their way to western county. they talked about nothing more than what was happening here and their support for all law enforcement and what they were doing during this period of time. the support of the community has been instrumental to all law-enforcement, and finally i want to stop here and turn it over to the colonel, to the commissioner. but again, to the family

after investigation there was no real intent, and most likely that person will not be prosecuted because it is a federal crime to threaten the president. one time president george h.w. bush was out greeting people at the gate of the white house. he liked to do that. agents didn't like that. they wanted to screen them. then a story appeared in the "washington post" bush was doing that, and then agents noticed a sort of classic lone assassin individual, someone who fits the profile of a lone assassin, namely someone who is smiling when everyone else is not, or vice versa. everyone is smiling and he is frowning. everyone else is wearing summer clothes, he is wearing a winter overcoat. and they patted him down and, sure enough, he had a weapon, pistol, and most likely would have used it. one of the most bizarre stories in this book, the first family detail, is when, again, george w. bush was going to enid, oklahoma, when he was campaigning for re-election, and the secret service did their usual advance work. they talked to log law enforcement to see if there were any threats out there, local law enforcement

and the second thing is, they're all underage and prosecuting juveniles in the federal system is a rare and complicated thing. they'd be charged with juvenile delinquency and they couldn't be held past their 18th birthdays. so while they continue to investigate it and look to see if these young women in colorado had any other connections with anybody in the u.s., it doesn't appear they're going to in any way prosecute. >> and chris jansing, b understandably, the president has been notified of this. what are you hearing from the white house? >> yeah, he's been kept up to date. i talked to a senior administration official who said he was in the daily briefing as all of this was breaking. he would have been with his national security adviser susan rice. and speaking of homeland security, lisa monaco, as well, homeland security adviser. and the whole relationship changed when homeland security was created after 9/11. so that's a close working relationship that they have. but also, and while it's important to note, again, as you've been doing that there's no motive that's been ascribed to th

after investigation there was no real intent and most likely that person will not be prosecuted because it is a federal crime to threaten the president. when time president george h. w. bush was upgrading people at the gate of the white house, he liked to do that and schmooze. agents didn't like it. they wanted to scream them. but a few days later a story appeared in the "washington post," a few days after that agents noticed sort of a classic lone assassin individual, someone who fits the profile of a lone assassin, namely someone who isn't smiling when anyone else does not, or vice versa. everyone is smiling and he's frowning. everyone else is wearing summer clothes. he is wearing a winter overcoat they patted him down and sure enough he had a weapon, he had a pistol and most likely would have used it. one of the most bizarre stories in this book, "the first family detail," as when again george h. w. bush was going to need oklahoma when he was campaigning for election or the secret service dessert advance work. to talk to local law enforcement to see the any threats. local law enforcement said, yeah,

federal charges, criminal charges against officer wilson. and he can also monitor the police department overall with the agency powers he has. you can prosecuteevel and also federally. >> mcgraw, how high are tensions right now? i've asked some schools to ask the prosecutor to release the grand jury on a sunday or after 5:00 p.m. to protect children. they're talking about bringing in the national guard and so on. >> yeah. attention is high. and it remains high. and i would sayedráeuju+(tk regardless of what side of the issue you're on on this thinks that the worst is yet to come. and that we have not seen the worst of it. and quite frankly i think a lot of people applaud the school districts to take action. would you rather your school district not anticipate what ]:fuu the kids o to school in something that might be dangerous? >> are there leaders out there now saying maintain the calm no matter what the grand jury decides? >> no, actually, just the opposite. many of those in support of michael brown's family saying the çóopposite, if he's not indicted you're going to see 6í seen before. 6í lacy clay has said that. elected leaders are basi

. >> representative, again, this case has been prosecuted in federal court. those expirations were made in front of a federal prosecutor. evidencethe lord the was sufficient for a jury. and what you make it -- i want you to make it sufficient for commerce. >> it was difficult to see at night. officers heard the shots, officers reacted, picked up security positions, swept the area, looking for any type of injury or intruder. it was not known until days later that the shots and actually struck the upper level, the third floor level of the white house. >> i will end, i'm out of time. why not search every inch of the white house, given the very small investment of resources? i went on your website, i saw you have training for psychology, you have training for survival skills, none of which i minimize. all of which i'm sure is important. this is just processing a crime scene. this is not high math. it is processing a crime scene. you actually don't need 18 weeks of training to be able to do that. just need to walk around. so why was it done -- why wasn't it done?

prosecution. and all of the federal and local law enforcement officers who have been involved in this also. and i know that the -- the commissioner is going to name all of those. and in additionally, law enforcement agencies from around the country that participate, volunteered to participate in this. but i particularly want to thank the residents of northeastern pennsylvania. particularly the pike monroe county areas. whose patience whose tolerance and whose perseverance have been a tremendous support and lift to all of the law enforcement personnel that have been working out there day and night on this mission. you demonstrate the very best of pennsylvania. just today in the western part of the state, from here in pike county, a couple on their way to a western county. they talked about nothing more than, what was happening here and their support for -- for all law enforcement and what they were doing during this period of time. sat part in the community has been instrumental to all -- to all of law enforcement and stop here and turn it over to -- again to the family of trooper dickson, t

when you have what lawyers call overlapping jurisdiction, where both the federal government and a state has the authority to prosecute a deadly weapon and use of excessive force. but even with the tape to serve as evidence, this would not be an easy case to prosecute. stuntz: if you're going after a bank robber or a murderer, there's really only one question -- did this guy do it or did he not do it? in this case, everybody knew the officers did it. kowalski: the state would have to prove that police officers, who have the obligation to use force to arrest somebody, used too much force under the circumstances. poussaint: before the trial commenced, the defense moved to transfer the proceedings out of los angeles county. they argued that with all the pretrial publicity, it would be impossible to find an impartial jury. the trial judge denied the request. the defense then appealed to the california court of appeals. that's a panel of judges, no jury. their job is to just decide questions of law, no questions of fact. nobody had decided at this point whether the officers were guilty or not. in 99% of the cases, there is

not just the state level and the doctor, the federal level, under the federal torts claim act usually it is difficult to prosecute or go after the united states government. this is negligence beyond belief. gerri: he was negligent. >> closed down the flights, imposed a mandatory quarantine for 21 days. this may never have happened. this guy never would have come back, if he did come back, he would have been quarantined. gerri: there is the issue if the state is responsible and the issue if the government is responsible. what do you think, bill? >> no question about it, that there must be something done and the government should be responsible for having this happen. however, in this particular case, he's a doctor. you wouldn't want anything you say to this particular person, if you look at it in terms of having a civil case, a reasonable person would have knowledge he is contagious. he is a doctor! >> should i get on the flight coming from he was. should i get on the flight? are you kidding? . gerri: i asked a doctor, aren't health professionals better prepared? don't they have the education and the experience, t

prosecuted. >> they will? >> yeah. the guy who stole scarlett johansson's photo, ten years in federal prison.ll hunt these people down. then the -- >> what about the website? >> i did see them, but with the companies, the companies, like, twitter, very quick to remove these photos, and you've seen that now, her attorney sent letters to a lot of these companies, google removed the images or scrubbed the images in every way they could. the companies have moved to take them down, doing the right thing. you know what? don't take naked photos of yourself. >> two issues. the person -- the entities are, the people who stole the fougph crime. it's a felony. issue, can you put it on a website? i'm with ben with these -- these gossip websites, they're disgusting, but if we're going to start censoring what they do, it scares me. that -- i'll say this, easy solutions, even though -- >> hang on. gary k., twitter police release itself sometimes. maybe there's a point where if they do have responsibility here? >> look, it's al gore's fault. he invented the internet. that's number one. they should be prosecu

. >> because armed robbery gets prosecuted in the state court and these are federal court.very time they go into your computer you are subjected to five years possible in prison. >> tell me about jennifer lawrence. >> what she is saying actually doesn't help the cause. the way the law is right now it is more broadly -- >> mercedes going after it. >> the law right now is more broadly construed. if anyone comes into your computer for anything, to get your schedule of when to till the fields or naked photos it is the same crime. anybody who goes into your computer and they are not allowed to they are going to jail. here is where the law needs to catch up to reality. what about the people we are paying to make our computers safe? what about the clouds where we are paying them for storage? >> what about accountability here? >> i'm not talking about the people who create the cloud. but -- it really has to be about self-accountability. >> and with all of these folks taking nude pictures of themselves or having them taken, what planet do they live on? >> when you look like me you a

federal investigation. what the government said here was you tried to thwart our investigation by destroying the fish, therefore we're going to prosecute you. it is an interesting case about the breadth of a big federal statute. >> document shredding versus fish shredding. there are so many interesting, religious freedom cases as well. we'll be watching along with you guys as they kick off tomorrow. >>> still ahead, u.s. pk swolym swimming icon michael phelps makes an alarming statement. >> i think we need to give a clear biblical stand on issue that are germane to our lives at christians -- abortion, same-sex marriage, homelessness, poverty. smart sarah. seeking guidance. just like with your investments. that sets you apart. it does? it does. you're type e*. and seeking another perspective is what type e*s do. oh, and your next handhold... is there. you don't have to go it alone. e*trade gives you the support and guidance to make informed decisions. are you type e*? no. not exactly. to attain success, one must project success. that's why we use fedex one rate. their flat rate shipping. exactly. it makes us look top-notch but we know i
