smith saying, i'm talking to michael flynn about this if you find anything, can you let me know? that's according to eric security expert. smith saying the hackers were probably around the russian government. as for flynn himself, smith felt the trump campaign senior adviser was a close confident it seems. example one from the report from the "wall street journal" says -- smith in one of his associates said they had a line of communication with flynn. number two, that smith supported mr. flynn's efforts during the presidential transition to establish relations with russian officials. third example from the report, smith offered to make introductions to mr. flynn's son who worked as chief of staff in his father's company and that smith was helping flynn's son. now the journal's reporting to be specific does not define the role flynn held to find the hacked clinton e-mails, but it does detail for the first time these specifics we just described in part to the watershed accusations against the trump campaign of collusion to influence the election. don't expect public congressional testimony, though, from mr

eric holder. i worked with him in the clinton administration, where he was the point person on my campaign along with many of you to free kemba smith from her draconian sentence. and because of eric holder, she was releases after six years, not the 24 years that she was given. and with the obama administration, a long way into fixing the 101 crack powder cocaine disparity, and not only helped pass the law to help fix it, we didn't completely fix it, but we made a lot of progress, but administratively applying that retroactively, so many people were getting out, not having to serve the whole 25 or 30, some of them only served 10 years or so, so they were getting out, they did that administratively, not waiting for congress to get around to doing what it should have done a long time ago. thank you for your hard work and i want to thank the mitchell family -- clarence mitchell, hillary shelton, i want to thank the lawyers here today for making this lunch necessary. thank you very much. >> thank you very much, congressman scott. let's see if we can get this one right. next we have -- in order to put on an event like this, we need gener

context of cable news i must say eric of the post thought that was a cronkite moment what did you playbook of it jim and what can we draw from. >> when you've got shep smith his grandmother his perplexed a lot of people are perplexed. there are a lot of things that i think donald trump and the administration could be talking about that are positives and unfortunately they have now found themselves in the situation where this is all they are talking about. and whether there is anything there or not, whether tell us this is a nothing burger or something burger as i heard it described earlier a double whopper with cheese, they have made this look awfully skittish and weird. just get out there. i did crisis communications as part of my career. and this is something i would never ever tell anybody to do. and that is change your story. several times. it just doesn't look good. it's almost like we don't know that an arson actually happened. there is alleged arson but they're basically saying i was holding a match at the time of alleged arson. it really is just mind boggling that one so successful in life as donald trump has been in a lot of areas you have to adm

castile, freddie gray, trayvon martin, sandra bland, eric garner, michael brown, alton sterling, natasha mckenna, makua and mcdonald. the that smith list goes on and on and on and on. this madness has to stop. and our government is trying to throw us even deeper into the pit of mass incarceration. the one that we've been fighting against since we are brought into existence and brought in change, the original handcuffs. we see over and over again that police are killing us without being held accountable or punished. too many of our young people are victims of crime, and we know the way to protect them is not by locking them up here we cannot come we will not concede the floor to anyone who stands to profit from criminalizing our people. one of the ways we can do this is by telling our stories, elevating our voices in the work towards, towards a true justice system. to do that, the naacp criminal justice department spearheaded by our hollywood borough has engaged in a groundbreaking partnership with short tv. you may have seen a short tv studio next to the registration desk. at the studio we are having young filmmakers of color crea
