long story short, we have been working with jeremy paul, the facilitator for the project for, i don't know, the better part of maybe two years now to come to some sort of equitiable agreement. we made a lot of progress on a number of things, but we filed the d.r. because we felt that we still hadn't got there on two major issues. one of those being privacy, and the other one being light. the other has to do with the size of the deck on the second floor and the fact that anyone standing on that deck would be able to look back into our daughter's bedroom as well as our living room. that's why we're here tonight. we tried to reach an agreement, but we reached an impasse, and so we've come to the d.r. phase, and that's it. thank you. >> president melgar: okay. do we have any public comment in support of the d.r. requesters? okay. so public comment is closed. we will now hear from the project sponsor. >> good evening, commissioners. congratulations, president melgar, vice president koppel. i've been doing this on a regular basis at the planning commission for about 30 years. this is the fi

jeremy bash. mimi rocah, former assistant u.s. toeattorney. with us on set former u.s. prosecutor paul butler. and author of "everything trump touches dies" and jean-pierre is back. jeremy, i want to start with you and something getting lost in all of this. is trump's smear, it isn't just on a career public servant when he attacks mccabe. i read his book. i got an advanced copy. he served for years fighting the russian mob and bush years fighting terrorism and then worked for robert s. mueller during the obama -- this is someone's who career never bobbed and weaved in the development of the united states of america. so the idea this person is at the center of our investigating any sort of investigation into donald trump because of any politi politics seems just brazen on the president's part. >> it's actually on the contrary, nicolle. he's a 21-year veteran of the fbi, senior professional law enforcement official who said he was a lifelong republican but his northstar had always been investigating crimes and national security threats of the united states. when he ascended the lad irof the leade

paul flynn. mr flynn had represented newport in south wales in the commons since 1987. for a brief time, he was in jeremyery orator in the commons, paul flynn was rarely short of forceful opinions. after 46 years of the harshest prohibition in europe, we now have 320,000 addicts. isn't it true that prohibition creates the drug, creates the gangsters, and creates the deaths? could you reflect on this and the rest of his conduct as foreign secretary to realise that his brand of clownish incompetence is a joke that's no longer funny, and consider being replaced by a competent politician who will attract the respect of the world, and not the ridicule that he attracts? they were told that if they went there, they'd stop the huns and bayonet belgian babies, they went there as a result of persuasion and propaganda. then we must remember this, the proper lessons of warfare and the immense wasteful loss of human life. third question revealed that blanchard house had no prisoners during that period. it is not to get rid of the drugs, but to get rid of the prisoners! can the minister tell me what he was on when he

jeremy, i'd like to begin with you. did paul manafort just end up worse off than if he hadn't taken a plea deal with the feds in the first place and what by dint of this judge's order learned that advances the ball? >> he may be equally worse off. a skriked felon has two tickets out of prison, one is to cooperate with the prosecutors after the conviction or after his guilty plea, tell them everything he knows, do so truthfully and hope that they join in a recommendation to the judge that he be sentenced at the low end or receive what's known as a downward departure, a shorter sentence. the second ticket is, of course, a pardon, one has to wonder whether or not this effort to lie, conceal, to obfuscate the truth from the government is motivated in part by his desire to be seen by the president of the united states as holding firm in their cover story about russian interference in 2016. >> mimi, i have to say jeff toobin was talking about paul manafort on television tonight and i wrote down some quotes. he saw him in the last cour

former chief of staff at therm cia and pentagon and former counsel to house intel jeremy, ill like to begin with you.be did paulanafort just end up worse off than than if he had not taken the plea deal with the feds in the first place? and what have we learned that advances the ball, advances this store any. >> he may be equally worse off, brian. a convicted felon has two tickets out of prison. one is to cooperate with the prosecutors after the conviction or after his guilty plea you should say. tell them everything that he knows, do so tooth. i, and hope that -- truthfully and hope that they join in a recommendation to the judge that he be sentenced at the low end, basically a shorter sentence. the second tick set a pardon. one has to wonder tonight whether or not this effort to lie to conceal to conceal the truth is motivated in part by i his desire to be seen by the s president of the united states as holding firm in their cover store by russian interference in 2016.in >> mimi recognize, a i have to say, jeff toobin was talking about paul manafort on television today and i wrote down some quotes everybody sa

judge in virginia to move up the sentencing date in the case of paul manafort, asking for a sentence of 19 to 24 years. joining me me jeremy cynthia oxnard, and susan dell percentio. thanks to you for being with us. cynthia, let me start with you on that news at the end, 19 to 24 years for paul manafort. what do you make of that? >> ouch, ouch. what i make of it is we knew that was coming because as soon as the cooperation agreement was torn up. the question is not that the years, and i understand that the fine is, like, $24 million. it's not that. it's why. why would he take this risk? why would he go be a 69-year-old man who would take 20 years? what is so important that he has had to lie and to hide that? and that is the most important question, not how much money is in the restitution. and we just don't know the answer to that but it's the burning question >> do you think that's a question that's going to be answered? >> i do. i have faith in the justice system. the wheels turn slowly, but they do turn. >> jeremy, in terms of that situation there with sarah huckabee sanders, she says she voluntary talked to the special

moment and a very happy stock i'm stans that jeremy corbin has the leader of the opposition has has changed its stance because they have always said that if paul amend cons clear up what they call this mess then it has to be has to be going back to the people and it might in the end be the only solution for the wrecks a crisis because emotions not just in front of parliament you can hear all these people shouting behind you but also involvement a really high and people really have the entrenched views on whether brags that is something that needs to happen ev anything else on them a crowd tick. or whether they think it's really the downfall of the u.k. to leave the european union so the question is how can they bring parliament back together they might not and in that case they might have to bring it back to the british people but to reason may has also once again said that she is absolutely against a second referendum so it remains to be seen whether this will actually happen or not. in london max hoffman in brussels thank you both. now let's move on. next. which is the other stories making news around the world the u.s. a vice president mike

jeremy, i remember you blew my mind, and i said at the time you blow my mind, you described paul manafortone time as possibly being a russian plant. i didn't think you were crazy because you're brilliant. but the idea blew my mind. >> you were suspicious. >> i don't think like a russian but i'm starting to. i think it's time for rosetta stone class in russian. talk to me about not just development but take another run of explaining this development to my and my viewers, but this line in the investigation, what does it tell you mueller is seeking? >> the development seems fairly logical, first and foremost, rick gates is trying to get a lower sentence and save his own skin so he's dishing on things he saw inside the trump campaign. he obviously was privy to the fact paul manafort funneled polling data -- assumingly pro prioritiary analysis, not just public polling data, clue konstantin kilimnik and possibly deripaska in the inner circle. there's not surprising. the second issue is schafrpgs t exchange the russians were asking for sanctions relief. and i think the $64,000 question to pick u
