it seems trump's referring to former virginia governor bob mcdonald who was convicted of federal corruption charges after being accused of accepting gifts from a businessman in exchange for promoting that person's company. the supreme court overturned mcdonald's convention last month. trump is trying to tie kaine to mcdonald there are big differences. kaine disclosed his gifts. mcdonald didn't make all of his gifts public. number two, kaine's been accused of -- kaine's never been accused of promising any kind of state actions in exchange for gifts. now, kaine spokesman amy dudley responded to these charges, i reached out to her. she told me this, during his eight years as lieutenant governor and governor, senator kaine went beyond the requirements of virginia law, disclosing any and all gifts v received these were travel related expengss rather than gifts has been exposed for years. democrats will emphasize the last part that kaine did nothing wrong or illegal. by tagging them both crooked hillary, trump likes to call them this rigged system. that's really a line of attack you're going to h

>> well, no, i think that there is a little bit of dirt on him after the bob mcdonald problem, he was governor. >> and will they pick up on that? >> yes, and the press, and he was governor an lieutenant governor and took $160,000 in gifts and it does not look good. >> pat? >> i am surprised, because the problem could be real, but it is counting on the press to do anything to derail the that would hurt hillary clinton is asking a lot. >> wow. >> the problem with kaine is that he is -- i am serious, i think that she likes him, and they get along well, and she wanted color, and she thought that hence the pressure is off -- >> what group does he help her with? >> interesting. >> and the bernie sanders people are going to be very unhappy. >> i am glad that we got to do this, and there may be some underlying things that we may have to look at as we head into the dnc convention and beyond for all of the things that we have talked about for first primetime news special here on fox, and i'm harris saying thank you for watching. good luck with the meeting today. thank you. as our business is gr

mark: how do you explain a unanimous ruling from the justices on the bob mcdonald case?rent from the prosecutor making a decision, a federal prosecutor sees this as not only a good prosecution to bring, but errands a conviction. -- but earns a conviction. how can you reconcile that with the unanimous view of the court? pete: all you had to do was hear the oral argument. there was not a single justice that was a big cheerleader for the prosecution of bob mcdonnell. today, the chief justice who wrote the unanimous opinion said that it is pretty tawdry but the former governor did, but the essence of the case is "what is an official act?" the federal law says, you violate the law if you take something like what he got here, cash and gifts, in exchange for a forming official acts. -- for performing official acts. that was the question "what is an official act?" the court had said today the kind of stuff that governor mcdonnell did setting up meetings, talking to staffers, a roasting lunches -- that is -- hosting lunches -- that is garden-variety staff that government official

the difference with bob mcdonald who came, who was convicted and then the supreme court overturned its no quid proquo and computed higher numbers to staying in friend's houses and put everything down. he was meticulous about it. they don't think it was a big ethics thing. he has this civil rights background. i mean, i was in the room and what you saw on tv yesterday in miami in that largely hispanic campus, that wonderful campus in miami, it was extraordinary. the enthusiasm for him and the affection and having watched through all of these years, you're absolutely right, chris, she's found her guy. she was a happy camper. >> they won't tell a progressive story about his history. the party moved to the left and he's sort of -- >> both of them. i feel like both clinton and kaine are trying to catch up to the party's movement. >> true. >> he was heroic in virginia on gun law. >> they are moving. might l, the trump campaign says we love the kaine pick because it reinforces that they are the political proeducation fessionae is tim kaine in office and the whole point of trump, i'm the total

the va will stifle reforms, bob mcdonald has been an utter failure as va secretary, captured by the bureaucracythe minute he came in. i talk about civil service reform, and across government and those who's work in our government are held accountable. and a basic principle, and unions gave a grip on that and special interests. you talk about establishment, special interest exist everywhere including the that space. and unwilling to change, and the white house cocktail party and play nice with everybody at all times that stifle basic choice, things like accountability, and impugn and attack their opponents, internet argument is always another 5 billion or the va will fix it. if you want some fun reading, read a 29 page document focused on me by other organizations, a hit list of everything i have done in my life because they don't want to argue the merits of the issue or issue a report lays out what real reform look like, and mischaracterize it. and it is hard to be a good citizen in that environment, the spectrum of government and every level of government and every place there will be a critic

he seems to be referring to bob mcdonald who was convicted after being accused of receiving gifts fromexchange for promoting that man's company. trump is trying to tie kaine to mcdonald here. and there is like three -- i would say two big differences here poppy. number one, kaine disclosed his gifts. publicly disclosed them as the law requires. mcdonald didn't make all of his gifts public. and two, kaine has never been accused of promising state action in exchange for any of the these gifts. i reached out to his spokespers spokesperson. amy dudley responded said during his eight years as left hand governor and governor the senator went beyond the requirements of virginia law disclosing all gifts received even those underthe threshold requiring disclosure. the information has been publicly available for years and never once raised any concerns of impropriety. democrats are sure to continue emphasizing that last part that kaine did nothing wrong. but by tagging them crooked hillary and corrupt kaine, trump is trying to paint the democrats as part of this rigged system that enriched polit

- why did tim kaine have no problem when he took far a more money as governor of virginia than bob mcdonald. crooked hillary and rigged system. he's referring to the $120,000 in gifts tim kaine took, legal, under virginia law. your response? >> this is a rehashed attack that was launched against senator kaine in 2012 by the republicans. it's been totally debunked. he disclosed all donations properly. there was never any wrongdoing whatsoever. donald trump is just afraid because tim kaine has had an outstanding reception. you had jeff flake, republican senator from arizona, praising him on twitter. trump's trying to muddy the waters on this. the fact of the matter is secretary clinton made an outstanding choice in senator kaine. and we couldn't be more excited. >> some progressives not happy. tim kaine supported trade agreements in the past that he's now against. he had spors supported the tpp. others saying he was too lax on the banks. not strong enough on issues like gay rights. some movement on the floor, to perhaps put another vice presidential candidate in for nomination. is that going

is this the one who took hundreds of thousands in gifts and didn't get indicted like bob mcdonald did said bernie sanders supporters are furious with the selection of tim kaine. tim kaine has always been owned by the banks. bernie fought for nothing. and there's a few others about elizabeth warren that i won't repeat. he said he is not the progressive pick that the bernie sanders supporters wanted. but instead, the opposite of that. somebody who supported tpp, somebody who has his own personal views of abortion, that don't align with hillary clinton's, or the party's. they've also called him somebody who has, as donald trump said, taken gifts while he was in office. about 160 grand worth of gifts. it was all legal at the time. but the trump campaign and rnc want to paint him as perhaps corrupt, the way hillary clinton is. not out for the american people. this is a narrative they're trying to paint so far with this tim kaine pick. but as of now, donald trump is just going on a tweet storm about it. we don't expect to see him on tv today, at least. although he will be on tomorrow on "me

i didn't see any of my republican colleagues complain when bob mcdonald was exonerated by an eight zero vote at the supreme court for having done certain things i think most americans would find highly objectionable what our court on a bipartisan unanimous basis exonerated him a week or two ago so i think this is the moment for committee members to reflect , take a deep breath, calm down and realize exactly what you said, that no reasonable prosecutor would have brought this case.and thank you for stating that so clearly and publicly.i yelled back in balance. that cute ranking member. >> mister director, let me ask you this. first, i associate myself with everything the gentleman just said. you were talking about some markings a little bit earlier, is that right? you describe what those markings on documents, you dealt with three documents with certain markings on them. they indicated classified. there were three emails that down in the body of the email in the three different emails, there were paragraphs and at the beginning of the paragraph) , c and that a parenthesis and that is a p

of course, bob mcdonald wound up getting in big trouble.t went all the way to the supreme court, and he was exonerated. nonetheless, seems to be a double standard. >> all right. i think the only thing we can do now is read this. >> coming up on this sunday, bernie sanders supporters wanted an end to the super delegate system after they called it a rigged election. this morning, their hopes just crashed and burned. >> brian, the only thing we can do now is read this. >> what's on the mind of philadelphia voters? we're talking to diners. >> i'm glad i get to read this one. it's the lick seen around the world. remember when ariana grande got caught licking other people's do nuts and putting them back? it really cost her. engineering and coordination for pga tour professional rickie fowler to hit the perfect shot. at quicken loans, technology, engineering and coordination come together to deliver a customized mortgage experience. quicken loans: home buy. refi. power. official mortgage sponsor of the pga tour. ♪ now it's war, they band i want th

politics on that degree, what did you think of the supreme court decision regarding former governor bob mcdonald? think it does have to be a clear quid pro quo before you can take a public official and charge them with a crime. if a public official does things that are inappropriate and almost everything that governor mcdonnell was charged with, i would say and you would probably say it was inappropriate. the remedy for that is disclosure and the voters are the ultimate remedy, they vote him out of office as a have done with other officials that have been accused of like things. to convict someone of a crime and there was no quid pro quo wrong. i think is i think the supreme court may have gone a little too far and i think they basically got it right. host: last time there was a political convention in philadelphia, you were the mayor. guest: i was the mayor and we had more republicans and we put on a great show. republicans used the historic sites to create a feeling of background and patriotism and an upbeat convention. the george w bush convention was upbeat, he was a passionate conservative.

>> bob mcdonald took over $160,000. i red last night over a longer period of time.but while governor took $160,000 worth of gifts. i mean, gifts, trips, and now ease running for vice president? he is not a good choice for her. i happen to like it because i think we'll win easily because of it, but not a good choice. >> on a personal note, i saw the new york post about don junior potentially running for mayor. i know it probably meant a lot to you to see your children, if it became a different convention with your family, tell me about how that made you feel. >> well, they did great. everyone of them, melania was great and ivanka, don, eric, tiffany. don is not going to run for mayor. and as a republican in new york -- running for mayor in new york city? i don't think that will happen. he is a very natural guy when it comes to -- he spoke like he's been doing it all his life. it was the first major speech he's ever made. he spoke like he's been doing it all his life. i was very proud of him. and everybody else, they were all great. my family helped me a lot with this
