and i just want to take a second to tell you, as a public official, and i have been in politics for a very long time, my mind's eye is about helping people where i grew up, or the people in brooklyn, or queens. you see, there are people searching for a fair shake, and they want to know that a promise can be kept. so, you know, i got to be a congressman at the age of 30. i was the only republican in america that defeated an incumbent democrat that year. i will tell you what i did. i ran on the reagan agenda. nobody wanted to appear with reagan in 1982, and i did. i got to spend more time with him, and nobody wanted to associate, because reaganomics had not yet begun to kick in. and getting into congress, i spent 18 years of my career on national security issues. and six years into my term in congress, i got on the budget committee. and i figured something out as a very young man. we have $19 trillion now in debt, $225 billion goes to pay for interest on the debt. think about taking $100 billion of that and investing it into solving the problems of alzheimer's, dementia, pancreatic canc

and that is how i have come to know that the most important thing a public official can do is create economic growth and prosperity in the neighborhoods. [applause] let me say a couple things about this anxiety. to payomething we need close attention to in this election season. paths.lly have two and iou go into a room, have been doing this all across the country, and you realize people's anxieties, and you come to understand that their anxieties, you have two choices. you can either go into that room and tell them how bad everything is, you can tell them the country is in decline, you can tell them that they have been ripped off, you can feed on their anxiety and cause anger and division, paranoia, and even hatred. or, you can walk into that same room, and you can recognize the struggles and problems and andeties that people have, talk to them about how we solve those problems. solutionsthere are that can give them hope, can improve their lives, and the lives of their children. we can do that by taking a positive approach. to all of you,st when we live in the dark, when we practice

the lines that we proposed in our instructions that, quote, "mere favoritism as evidenced by a public official's willingness to take a lobbyist's telephone call or to meet with the lobbyist, is not an 'official act.'" so i think that the idea is, your honor i understand, justice breyer, that influence itself doesn't totally solve the problem. but what district court judges do is they then explain to the jury what they mean by influence, and influence is not -- justice kennedy: where can we find the best definition, in your view, of an "official act"? mr. francisco: your honor, i think that the best definition of an "official act" is essentially the one that i tried to articulate at the outset. you need you need to either make a decision on behalf of the government, or try in some way to use your influence to pressure or urge or persuade or cajole someone else who has governmental power to make a decision on an action. justice kennedy: well, i -- justice kagan: can i -- justice kennedy: i agree with justice breyer. i just don't see the limiting principle in the second part. mr. francisco: your ho

public officials aren't supposed to take bribes as public officials.ay you're a delegate who's not a public official. there's nothing that sell you can't sell your vote for a car or suitcase of cash. under federal law, a rich candidate like, say, donald trump, could spend a few tens of millions of dollars of his personal wealth buying a few hundred delegates new houses or new cars or just wrietsing them checks in other words to seal up the nomination for himself. federal law would not stop that. this particular republican convention will take place in the great state of ohio. it turns out, weirdly, since the 1870s, ohio has had a very specific law that bans anyone from bribing the delegates at a political convention. it may be fine under federal law but under ohio law it would be a fourth degree felony prosecutable under the long arm of the law. how how long is that arm? does it mean only for bribing in ohio? what if it's offered this indiana and the delegate travels to ohio? what if they turn up in cleveland in time to collect the keys to their new la

if you bribed a public official, then you ought to go to jail. if the public official takes the money, he ought to go to jail. that would end all of this. i think the way this is set up right now, they are not going to do nothing about it until the people stand up. i am voting for bernie sanders and i hope he makes it. the bernie sanders thing will work is after you elect bernie sanders, you need to get rid of congress since chart all over. thank you. , start withian berg you. legal definitions again. quid pro quo, campaign contributions, what does it take ? if someone is actually buying you off, if there is a direct payment for service, like meredith said, you need someone in the room to testify. has: meredith mcgehee, anyone been sanctioned under the idea of quid pro quo? guest: this is a very difficult prosecution for the public prosecutors. you have some representatives like cunningham, who was brilliant enough to write down his right list on a cocktail napkin. this is probably not the calendar -- caliber we will see with most members of cong

if congress wants to make it a crime for a public official to receive a gift whether the public officialives a benefit to the gift giver or not, then congress should rewrite the bribery law rather than letting prosecutors rewrite it by persuading a judge this is what it really means. >> so no matter what, this decision is a very big one? >> absolutely. it looks as though -- >> for a lot more than bob mcdonnell. >> yes. there's a lot of other people that are sort of waiting in the wings. prosecutors waiting in the wings trying to decide whether or not they should charge other public officials without naming them, who apparently in the prosecutors' views have behaved similarly. the supreme court also did a very unusual thing of not letting him go to jail. >> not yet. >> sentenced to two years in prison and they stopped that until after they rule. they rarely have done that. >> and now they will and we'll let you know. judge, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> just 33 minutes away from ted cruz's announcement on his running mate. we're told carly fiorina. we're waiting to hear it. but we've c

its members were public officials, businessmen, architects, philanthropist, a cross-section of many americanss and inspiration began flowing at once. an overwhelming number would be funded by the more than $2 million given by private donors. among the first proposals was a plan to adopt countless traffic circles and grassy triangles that dot washington intersections. they would be adorned with bright and colorful planters. on march 9, 1965, mrs. johnson laid out the first phase of the beautification program. in may of 1965, the committee met aboard the uss sequoia for a cruise and two were of the potomac river. tours and short trips would be a regular part of the activities. this highlighted the potomac's waterfront, and highlighted some of the problems connected with the river. the first lady had challenged her committee to find ways of implementing those beautification projects already underway, boosting those that should be underway, and being catalysts for new undertakings. an action program was devised for tackling washington's beautification programs. from the beginning, mrs. johnson re

no prominent american public officials have been named so far. truth is that americans don't really need to go offshore to keep their finances secret. as matthew gardener of the institute on taxation and economic policy recently pointed out on cnn.com, the tax justice network ranked the u.s. as the world's third worst offender for allowing financial secrecy. it is easier to set up a secretive shell company in delaware and nevada than in the cayman islands, he says. all the secrecy and finance around the world, often a cover for ill-gotten wealth, also enables people to avoid paying taxes and forces more of the tax burden on low and middle income households. it takes money from schools and services and exacerbates income inequality. it fuels cynicism and rage in our politics, breeding ugly nationalist and public movements and scapegoating outsiders. the panama papers is a good pon underappreciated threat to democracy. it's your home. it's everything you've always wanted. and you work hard to keep it that way. ♪ sometimes, maybe too hard. get claim

as a public official what it is $75 -- >> well in new york it's now 15. when you were there it was 75. it's been lower. there are federal laws, state laws, there is a lot of laws. >> but i was a public official. what about the delegate who is out in kansas and says -- >> the bottom line is they still can't exchange their vote for cash. they still can't exchange their vote for lavish gifts. they can attend a political rally or fund-raiser. here is what i fine interesting. what is legal is that most delegates only have expenses related to attending the convention. those delegates do not -- if they only spend money on antiing the convention are allowed to get contributions and raise money to that affect and they do not have to form and file political committees with the federal election commission. they do, however, can only raise money from federally permissible sources which means individuals and federal pacs, no corporations, no labor unions. and here's another kicker. there is no contribution limit to them. so you ask, okay, so how can they go about gett

it's always amazing when you hear about public officials being charged because you always assume theyf immunity. with crimes, these are criminal charges. potentially prison time and, you know, in the civil complaints because of class actions and so many allegations of particular people, state officials, local officials that they in the civil complaints said help to contribute to the flint water and the people of flint michigan. we'll show you who they are and what they're charged with. mike glassgow the city official was the utilities administrator for the city of flint and two counts. tampering with evidence and willful neglect of duty and the two state officials and the michigan department of environmental quality. that is the state government at least in the civil complaints said the dirty deeds were done and first of all, stephen bush, michigan department of environmental quality. misconducts in office and tampering with evidence and violation of the safe water drinking act and mike prisbee, an engineer with the state and misconduct, tampering with evidence and violation of the sa

the allegations against these three low level public officials they're now spelled out in a criminal rom the attorney general, but they were first spelled out in great detail in the public domain. here's an example. the e-mails obtained by reporters in december showed that stephen busch told the epa they were doing erosion control. that wasn't true. today he was charged with a felony for that. he's pleaded not guilty. the second state employee who was charged today, michael prysby, he signed off on the water plant and then in an e-mail that's been notorious for months now in michigan he got this desperate message from the water quality supervisor that said this, if water is distributed from this plant in the next couple of weeks it will be against my direction. i need time to train my staff and up date monitoring plans before i feel we are ready. mike prysby was charged with a felony for permitting the water plant to operate despite warnings like that one. he's pled not guilty. the person who wrote that warning e-mail, the guy who warned in that e-mail that the switch should not happe

>> i don't think so, not when we're talking about this type of a criminal indictment against public officialsically not doing their job. the allegation here is not that they intended to harm anyone, but that they attempted to cover up the, and falsify these test results which led to the crisis. so, we heard from the attorney agenda say this is just the beginning. so the one thing we want to be cautious about making the folks scapegoats for the entire operation. i think we'll see more criminal charges and the investigation is ongoing. trish: what about going after the government as a whole? do victims have any ability to do that considering how badly their officials failed them? >> well, we're talking about two potentially different avenues that someone can take. one is the criminal case. we've seen charges announced today. there may be other individuals who are charged and through the criminal process, you can obtain restitution that can go to victims, for health monitoring, for the illnesses that they suffered, for the harm that watered caused. i know directly residents want to pursue civil
