holders housed at dr. davis and 12 at pacific point all together and those happened in over a long period of time and so 21 folks were housed in 15-16 and five in 15-16 when the units, when the building finished lease up and at pacific point they were 8-15- 16 and 4 in 16-17. recently, you received a report about a couple of developments that closed in early fiscal year 17-18 that leased up in 16-17 and one, was hunters view phase 2 and there were 106, one, two, three and four bed almost units at hunters view and it's family housing and 80 of those were 106 were set aside for hunters point redevelopment replacements and there were 26 tax credit units that came through the lottery system the john stewart company was the developer and there were 1,946 applications for those 26 units and eight c. c.o.p. holders applied and three were housed. the other development that we were pointing and they were priced for families at 80% a.m. i. and linar had 85 applicants for 16 units there were one certificate of prefer

eric holder treated president obama. he said, quote, it's too bad that jeff recused himself. i like jeff. i don't want to get into loyalty, but i will tell you that i will say this. holder protected president obama, totally protected him. when you look at the things that they did and holder protected the president. and i have great respect for that. i'll be honest, i have great respect for that. of course this issue of loyalty has been a theme with president trump. you will remember back with the flap between me and the former fbi director james comey, comey testified at one point the president called him in and suggested that if he was going to stay in his job that the president would require loyalty from james comey and that it wasn't very long after that that comey was forced out of his position. the president also doesn't get into too many specifics as to what he means by this loyalty that eric holder showed to barack obama, but it's clear that he wishes that jeff sessions had demonstrated more of that early on in hi

i will say this, holder protected president obama. when you look at the things that they did, and holder protected the president. and i have great respect for

there's another quote in that interview about comparing jeff sessions to eric holder, and that eric holder protected his president. the president looks at the justice department as an arm that he can control despite the tradition. that's just not the case. and it puts into broader context that ongoing conflict between the president and one of his erstwhile most kindred spirits in his cabinet. >> after giving that interview, he's back on twitter. the daca situation still unresolved. democrats demanding resolution there. you can see the democrats have been told and fully understand there can be no daca without the desperately needed wall at the southern border and end to the terrible chain migration and lottery system , et cetera. what do we know about that heading into 2018? >> reporter: this is going to be the big fight on capitol hill over the next couple months. there has been, by all accounts, a good faith effort by republicans and democrats in congress and the white house to work out an immigration package that would include some kind of solution for daca recipients, for dreamers, but

holders, manchester united, knocked out of the english league cup with a late korey smith goal sealing second tier bristol city a semi—final place. bayern munich knock holders borussia dortmund out of the german cup and move through to the quarter—finals. hello. a lot to come. in the night's other tie, alvaro morata scored a late winner for chelsea as they beat bournemouth 2—1 at stamford bridge. chelsea will now face arsenal in the semi—finals, while bristol city's reward for beating manchester united is a two—legged semi—final against manchester city. what a night at ashton gate. lee johnson's bristol city was superb. they rose to the occasion. manchester united hit the woodwork twice in the first half. luke steele made a few good saves. city matched their opponents. the first, a rocket shot from joe brian cancelled out by zlata n shot from joe brian cancelled out by zlatan ibrahimovic‘s fierce drive. but when the chance came, smith showed great composure. bristol city could not contain themselves. you can understand the jubilation and i°y can understand the jubilation and joy after

thank you. >> thank you. >> and rebuttal from the variance holders. >> okay. so -- oh, yeah, we'll need the projector on please. so we just heard a few things. >> overhead, please. >> oh, there we go. we just heard a few things from the neighbors and we'd just like to clarify some things. not a single person who spoke has reached out to us, been willing to tour our on us, understand what we're trying to achieve, so the ones who are supporting us have come over to see what this plan is. the first thing i want to show you is a letter we wrote to george chen, who basically after the dr we reached out to him. he's the owner of 2521. they said we really cannot help you we oppose your application. now the city has rejected your application. you should seek relief from chris rose and the others who might have sold you a bill of goods. you can also see here that when they talk about removing or impacting air and light and privacy, these windows look directly into the lower unit that kristina wells and katie wells just spoke about. these are removed, so we no longer ha

we can hear from the permit holders now. mr.williams, are you here representing all of them or is there anyone else here on behalf of the permit holders? >> yes. >> okay. so how many -- >> appellant. >> appellant. how many appellants are you -- >> i'm representing just one, really, richard yanowitch. the leppla family wasn't able to be here. >> okay. so three minutes. >> when the board determined that the penthouse, the top fourth floor should be removed, we were under the impression that they would remove the top floor, and we would work together on designing the deck. that's not what happened. they used the opportunity to increase the height of the building 2.5 building, so the overall bulk, the shadows, the views blocked is now much large. they say they didn't raise the floor, but they increased the height of the thing. the top of the guardrail on the new deck is the same height that the penthouse was, so you know in all the years i've done this, i've never seen someone ordered to take a floor off and come back with a buildin

fortunately, for deputy bards, aschad russell, a concealed carry permit holder, saw this. he approached the altercation. he told struther he would shoot him if he did not stop beating the deputy. the state attorney's office said struther ignored russell's commands to stop beating the deputy so he fired him three times, hitting and fatally wounding the assailant. he is harolded a hero. this bill also contains the fix nics act of 2017. this is a bipartisan and bicameral measure. the fix nics act takes steps to ensure that state and federal agencies enter all relevant records into the f.b.i.'s national instant criminal background system. this bill will help ensure people who are legally prohibited from having guns, like those with violent felony convictions, do not obtain them. the shooting at virginia tech and the church shootings in charleston, south carolina, and sutherland springs, texas, are tragic reminders of what can happen when all relevant records are not entered into the system. our nics system is only as good as the information within it. this important piece of l

just briefly, did get a chance to look over the proposed plans by the permit holder just to see if they would be consistent with the ceqa analysis that was conducted for the site and consistent with current planning code requirements, and the proposed revision would be consistent with both. the only thing i would point out is that generally, if a project had already been noticed and comes back and proposes to raise the height by a couple of feet, it would trigger renotice. in this case, obviously, all of the people that have received notice and are engaged are verien gauged in this process. the rest of the revisions are just at the discretion of the board. i'm available for any questions you may have. >> mr. teague, what was the -- what is the max height they can go in comparison to where we're at now? >> so i think -- well, as was mentioned during the permit holder's presentation, the height district here -- it's a 40 foot height district, but because it's rh-1 dd, you take a 45 angle from either the front property line or the front set back line, and that can go up to 35 feet, and the

once that's done, the permit-holder has 90 days to secure the permits. if they're not able to do that or not able to get the verification, when it's denied automatically. >> do you have the information tonight on other food carts and mobile food facilities in this area, let's say, owithin a one-block radius? >> we do not. we can bring it back. >> perhaps we should continue this case. >> at one front street, there's one approved mobile food facility within 300 feet. and at 532 market street, there are five approved mobile food facilities within 300 feet. >> it would be helpful to have a radius. >> sure. >> we can work on getting that information. >> and a map. >> maps. >> maps are really good. >> especially for us old folks. >> not a problem. >> thank you, mr. shaw. >> could i ask, what is the radius you would like to see? >> from the corner is one block. >> so one block, a standard city block? >> yes. >> okay. >> okay. commissioners, the matter is submitted. >> i would like to hear from health and maybe even fire. would you like to make a motion? >> i'm

on the eric holder beat for a moment, the president brought up eric holder, the former attorney general talked about being upset b about his own attorney general, jeff sessions recusing himself then said this. i will tell you, i will say this. holder protected president obama, totally protected him. when you look at the things they did and the, that holder protected the president, i have great respect for that. i'll be honest. when you initial ly red that, that he clearly sees part of the job of the attorney general as to protect the commander in chief, what did you think? >> well, the to protect the rule of law and what president trump is doipg there is casting dispersions on president obama without any specifics. in terms of what they did. there is absolutely no evidence of serious law breaking during the obama administration. there were one or two scandals that i kept my eye on during those eight years. i was the chief white house ethics lawyer under president bush. we had our scandals there. but president obama did not need protection from veinvestigation because president obama did

he says eric holder totally protected president obama. when you look at the irs scandal, the guns for whatever, these were real problems and holder protected the president. i have great respect for that, i'll be honest. the i have great respect for that. what do you make of the president suddenly complimenting eric holden. >> the one thing we know about president trump is that loyalty is the most important thing to him. loyalty above anything else. i mean he says that all the time. it's been something that's come up with multiple members of the cabinet. and we know that that is the most important thing to him. even though eric holder is a democrat, president obama is a democrat. he showed loyalty, which is the number one thing that is important to president trump. i was not surprised at all to see that he valued that in someone else, even it was somebody from the other party. but the fact that he said it's too bad his own attorney general felt he needs to recuse himself goes to kind of the tension we've seen between president trump and re

holders that typically apply and we try and match that up, it's not an exact science. so usually the majority of going to be at 60% and 50% and they'll be some smaller number or percentage at let's say 30% and 40%. the 60% also just as a affordable rental we can't exceed that because that is the limit that the tax credit program has and so if we go beyond that we can't access equity through the tax credit program. >> so c.o.p. first and then you figure out who are searching the number of units for either 30% or 450% or 60%? you sort of just snow there's no necessary leah policy within oci i? >> i will say that we're doing this and i think we're leading the way and we're requesting or we're requiring actually some income tiering like that. >> you are requiring the developers. >> that's right. like in our r.f.p. and when we are interviewing, and we're reviewing submit als and during the interview process it's something that we highlight if they're committed to incorporating that as we require >> as they typically open to it and 50% or 60%. >> they're open to it and just

i will say this, holder protected president obama. when you look at the things that they did, and holder protected the president. and i have great respect for that. i'll be honest, i have great respect for that. is this his way of again criticizing sessions here in your opinion? and what would it take to bridge this widening really rift between them? >> this has been consistent for months. you have seen that something that really irks president trump is that jeff sessions recused himself from that russia investigation which put separation between the white house and led to special counsel robert mueller. he said according to former fbi director comey that he needs loyalty and asks for that. so you see interesting things in that statement. you see he doesn't want to talk about loyalty. he has learned and heeded the advice that was maybe a bad word to say when he talked to fbi director comey, but he's still using the language of that similar relationship. he's saying, well, eric holder was -- protected the president. even though he's no

holder and say let me tell you about mr. holder. and basically, he didn't directly answer the question of loyalty. in fact he said look, i don't want to deal with loyalty, but he went on to suggest that eric holder, unlike -- i mean, left june stated, but clearly unlike jeff sessions was his point that eric holder had protected president obama during what the president and republicans like to call scandals involving that white house. he raised the irs, you know, controversy surrounding the irs. and gun running, and the issues on the border with guns that -- you know, both of which were sort of scandals on capitol hill. and he suggested that mr. holder protected president obama in a way that clearly he doesn't think that jeff sessions protected him. >> he's talking about fast and furious. not much came of any of that. i thought it was fascinates that he gave the interview, he gave the interview in the grill room at trump international golf course after he ate lunch with his playing partners, including his son eric and the pro golfer,

holders manchester united have been knocked out of the english league cup by second tier bristol cityefore zlatan ibrahimovic equalised. but korey smith in the third minute of injury time grabbed the winner that takes bristol through to a semi final with manchester city. while alvaro morata late goal earned chelsea a 2—1win over bournemouth and a semi final against arsenal. bayern munich are through to the quarter—finals of the german cup after knocking out the holders borussia dortmund. jerome boateng headed bayern in front after only 12 minutes. they've won the trophy a record 18 times and just before the break, robert lewandowski set up thomas mueller, who made it 2—nil to the home side. late in the second—half, dortmund's ukrainian international andriy yarmolenko pulled one bnack for the holders but bayern held on to win 2—1, and seal their place in the last eight. well it may seem a long way off but the head of the us soccer federation has been outlining why he thinks the joint bid of the us, mexico and canada should win fifa's vote to host the 2026 world cup finals. the other of

that's all. >> so can the permit holder come up? i'm sorry. that was a question we should have asked the last time. i apologize. >> actually, today, i talked to them and made that proposal. i said i'll let you come in and do some emergency stuff, and -- but they -- they didn't -- they didn't -- they didn't accept that. i did offer them today. >> so that is on the table. you would allow them to at least put building paper, not to do permanent work, but temporary work. >> that's right. i offered that today, but they still insist to fix their work. >> council, the matter's submitted. >> counsel or mr. duffy? >> db a has issued a temporary violation to make that happen within 24 hours, so that'll happen. >> that's a different way of dealing with it. i'm going to move that we deny the appeal on the basis that the permit was properly issued. >> okay. on the motion, then, from the vice president to deny this appeal on the basis that the permit was properly issued, commission commissioner -- [ roll call. ] >> and before we adjourn, i just want to make

variance holders, the mcnultys. >> good evening, and welcome. >> thank you. good evening, commissioners. my name is jonathan mcnulty. this is my wife, tina, and we are the homeowners of 2523 steiner street. we are representing ourselves here, and respectfully request that the board deny the appellant's appeal and uphold the zoning administrator's decision. the variance allows us to get the third bedroom that we need to get this home functional. our variance was granted for 114 square feet to create a functional three bedroom home in one of the smallest homes in all of pacific heights. what you're going to see is three different designs. first is a submitted version to planning, second is the plan submitted variance, and third is the alternative that we came up with. that does -- what that does, it actually just reduced that third floor expansion from -- from about # 6 square feet to 50 square feet. we proposed this to appellant and unfortunately he he has rejected our request. if you look here on the page, you can see the first design here is what we submitte

holder protected president obama. totally protected him. when you look at the things they did and holder protected the president and i have great respect for that, i will be honest. it wasn't specific about what eric holder and how he protected president obama. he talked about the investigation into the irs going after conservative groups, about you he didn't explain the specificity of how holder was protecting him from that. he gets back to the point of loyalty. it continues to be important for donald trump. that was part of his dust up with the former fbi director, james comey. the president asked him for loyaltyy and he couldn't say he would be loyal to him, but his country. he had a lot to say on a lot of topics in florida before he heads back to washington to begin the new year. >> it is a fascinating interview. a comment by president trump about his power over the justice department in this interview is raising eyebrows in this "new york times" interview, the president was asked whether he would reopen the investigation into hillary c

betsy, why do you think eric holder felt the need to respond? >> you know, as former attorney general, eric holder was responsible for the fbi for years during the obama administration. the curious thing about the president's tweet about the fbi's reputation is that to the extent that the fbi's public reputation is in tatter, to the extent there's a decrease in public trust in that institution, a lot of that is due to the fact that the president himself has been working overtime to try to damage its reputation. so it's interesting that trump is now saying, oh, the fbi is dealing with some reputational harm, when he's actually been responsible for doing so much of the damage there. at one point here that's kind of interesting as a piece of context is christopher wray, who trump made fbi director several months ago, is part of the quote/unquote deep state, to use a term uses to refer to federal law enforcement. my understanding is wray has long-standing friendly relationships with bob mueller and james comey because the federal law enforcement com

her deputy attorney general was eric holder. and under janet reno and eric holder's leadership at the justice department in 1999, after the independent counsel statute went away and the idea of an independent counsel was x excised from american law, they had to put something in its place. so in 1999, under the leadership of reno and holder, the justice department promulgated its new regulations for how to handle that enduring problem about presidential scandals and who can rightfully investigate them. they wrote those regulations in 1989 and those are the regulations that today allowed us as a country to finally be sure that the investigation into the russian attack on our election and the prospect that the trump campaign was in on it is an investigation that will not be carried out by trump appointees. and that origin story. the part of my mom and me being six weeks old is not. but how. comes from a justice department regulation. the justice department has these regulations. the justice department has tt power to do this on the

lou: i don't think that eric holder personally was bothered one wit. he was serving a president who he served a directly, loyally and to great effect. we have here an instance which an attorney general jeff sessions can't even be found, who is not honoring his constitutional duties, and whose replacement is in point of fact blocking, blocking the oversight committee from completing its constitutional duties. >> as i said, the documents ought to be produced and deferring to -- not producing them because of an ig investigation is not a sound position. lou: the two documents that the e-mails that strzok sent to his girlfriend, his mistress, whatever you want to call her, within the department of justice, both went to intent, intent to subvert, intent to alter the outcome of the constitutional election, a constitutionally elected president. this is outrageous and i don't see a single person in the justice department behaving in any way to suggest they are offended. >> well, i don't know, in fairness i don't know what they're doing behind the curtain, but w

"i don't want to get into loyalty but i will tell you, holder protected president obama. when you look at the things they did an holder protected the president and i have great respect for that, i will be honest." that is the interview getting attention this morning. wisconsin, line for democrats. go ahead. am 80 so i wrote this down. trump, his family are the losers because they stood behind him to run to be president of the country because he has no morals. the fact he said he could shoot someone and get away with it. what example is he showing the people? what is happening in this country, even worse since he started to run for president. a lady who called into c-span said, god put him and to be president. god it would not put a chronic liar, cheater, hateful, in compassionate, deplorable, racist like mitch mcconnell and trump who belong in hell with all the others. all this started when mitch we will see that obama did not get a second term because he was colored. president obama stopped the war in iraq, wrought service people home. service people home from killing an
