bob, sorry. >> your response on that? >> michael is correct. something that is missing is trade.000, the u.s. farmers have been able to sell agricultural commodities to cuba. that is broadly defined. it includes everything from chewing gum to wine. but cuba cannot sell anything to the united states yet. they have allowed u.s. travelers to cuba to bring back $400 worth of cuban goods as a company bagged. -- accompanied baggage. they can bring up to $100 worth ,f tobacco and alcohol -- rum of course, is what they would be bringing. i would like to see the administration move quickly to other sales. cuba produces sugar. it has a number of agricultural potential for exports to the u.s. i endorse completely what michael said that the president's ability to lift the embargo through licensing and rulemaking is essentially unfettered. the principal role of congress is going to be to tidy up all the loose ins of permanent trade status for cuba to investment protection agreements and so on. something i would like to alert your viewers to is, there is going to be some pushback coming. we do

. >> are you telling me that if michael brown had shot and killed darren wilson, bob mcculloch wouldl process where he would have presented all the evidence without recommending charges? >> well, that's a hypothetical. >> but clearly he wouldn't have done that, we can agree on that. >> well, i mean, if there was evidence that michael brown killed the police officer, yes, i think that bob mcculloch would have pursued charges vigorously. he didn't believe there was evidence that darren wilson acted in a criminal way. >> mr. claxton, let me ask you this, one of the things we're seeing here is it feels like there's a kind of falling in line that's happened among police officers in police culture. i was just looking at some common threads on police one that were very unnerving. how do you address the cultural aspects of how police think of themselves in relationship to the community? >> i think what has occurred throughout the nation is occurring in these cases that we're seeing more recently is that the police -- within the subculture there are these vows that supersede even the vows tha

michael brown. the police said that they apologized, but the rams a say they did not apologized. but this idea that has come out of boblloch positivist description of what grand jury witnesses said, in fact, michael brown' has hands -- did not put his hands up, was in a like 16 of the 18 witnesses say he did? said theyhe witnesses saw him with his hands up. how is that a lie? i really don't understand that. now the law enforcement response to the st. louis rams protest to me seems to be a little desensitized to the situation as well. remember, we can debate back and forth there were some people who did not see but at least 16 witnesses in the grand jury who so michael brown with his hands up, including the young man who was a part of that whole situation. i'm not sure who we are supposed to believe or what constitutes a lie or the truth. but what i was eight and my colleague joe scarborough, to the law enforcement in st. louis, if we had had an indictment and could've probably had desk proper -- properly had a jury, we might be of the figure with the truth of the situation is. because the system does not work in a way

since the ferguson grand jury decision in the shooting death of unarmed teenager michael brown came down, prosecutor bobaking out. he's defending himself over scrutiny of who he put on the stand. "all in" has been reporting on problems from the testimony of witness 40 for all week. that witness said brown went, quote, went running right at the cop like a football player and many in the media seized on that quote. >> quote, i'm reading, like a football player with his head down charging. that michael brown, you know, was charging like a football player full force. one witness described it as charging at officer wilson like a football player with his head down. >> chris hayes has been reporting on why that witness's credibility is suspect as have other journalists. and the grand jury documents show a special problem with this witness. they show that the investigators knew at the time that her story didn't add up. today mccullough felt compelled to address critics who says he shouldn't have put a suspect on the stand at all. in a 30-minute interview he answered a question apparently referring to those prob

behind closed doors, the latest grand jury called by bob mcculloch - the one for the killing of michaelgged on for months... demands for the prosecutor to recuse himself had been dismissed. there were 70 hours of witness testimony, hundreds of pages of notes. former prosecutors were bewildered by the proceedings. >> that's not how we do it. and you know that's not how we do it. any other time it would not be happening like this. if he really wanted to indict darren wilson, he could get him indicted. it's just a probable cause hearing, it's not a trial. >> jerryl christmas has dealt with numerous grand juries in the st louis area. he says the threshold is so low that an overwhelming majority of grand jury cases end with an indictment. >> and the key factor is this: ask all around this country how often do prosecutors bring the defendant in to testify? i don't care what the defendant got to say...we the prosecutor's office! we know that we have a case, that's the reason why we are going for an indictment so we can move forward to trial. we don't need the defense version at this point >> d
