michael sam i was already told they are going to sign a new contract with microsoft next year so good luck to go to. the. next. microsoft and you already negotiating a new contract the plan is to go for a negotiated procedure with microsoft for. this top layer. and for full for tender with a reseller. for microsoft doesn't the practice to negotiate this framework contract violate the rules of procurement which demands open competition no doubt there are different procedures foreseen by the pitcher metros and of course the procedure is called for tender but then the negotiated procedure is a procedure that exists in the rose. and it's fully legal and the conditions are that there is only one provider that can provide this particular solution the technical solution so there is no other possibility and what we've seen is that we if we didn't do call for tender and open call for tender for provision we would land with microsoft anyway and it would be much more expensive because what they're doing now is negotiating a price list together with microsoft which gives us huge discounts well it

attorneys' offices like michael cohen, like sam patton who was involved in russian interference withommittee, yet he has kept the paul manafort case. that's because i think he believes there is information that's directly relevant to the heart of this case which is coordination between russia and the trump campaign. >> i'm curious what you think about what kind of witness paul manafort would be. i was just having this discussion with the congressman, but this is somebody i think prosecutors did a pretty good job of making look bad, at least in terms of how he spends his money, and even though the judge said it's no crime to be rich, he didn't exactly come off as a sympathetic guy or a trustworthy person. what kind of witness do you think paul manafort will make? >> i think there will be a lot of parallels to what we saw with richard gates at his own trial with paul manafort. he still had some value to add because he was there and saw what happened. when you have a witness like paul manafort, what a prosecutor will do is make sure that person isn't standing alone. you don't have to be

attorney's office for the district of columbia, much like michael cohen's case was referred to the southern district of new york. the person in question, sam patton, is republican lobbyist who worked on behalf of ukrainian interests. patton pleaded guilty to failing to register as a foreign agent. he also said he used a u.s. citizen as a straw donor in order to buy four tickets to the presidential inauguration on behalf of a ukrainian oligarch. can't do that. and while patton's deal isn't with mueller, it does explicitly require him to talk to mueller. reading from the plea agreement, your client shall cooperate fully, truthfully, completely and forthrightly with this office, the special counsel's office and other law enforcement authorities. here to put this latest plea deal into perspective, rosalyn helderman from the "washington post." tell me who he is. >> a long time republican operative consultant. he worked for the george bush campaign in 2000 and like a lot of people employed in the field, he had sort of traveled the world doing work overseas. he had also run for a time the office of the international republican institute, i believ

sam does as well. i think the other candidates sound like they are qualified. >> supervisor a. safai: thank you. >> hi, my name is michael nolty, i'm a san francisco civic leader. my neighbors have several concerns about the central market c.a.c. we are talking about today. it's an official body of the city. and we have several concerns. the vacancy notice mentions five seats, yet the agenda only mentions four. the actual applications were altered to say all four seats if you actually look at your packet. and that's not right because some of them don't actually live in the area that we are supposed to be in for the actual c.a.c. on the 28th, i received a notice of cancellation. i only received a notice of cancellation of the c.a.c. i never received notices of the actual meetings which means these meetings are not really reaching out to the community. so i'm here as a body of the board of supervisors and this is probably the only time you could have public comment about a committee that meets that has helped regulate it. so this is the only time the community can talk to the board of supervisors about a community operatin

michael dukakis one, the world would end. tables -- ever since then, i have been interested in it. sam johnson, he is retiring this year. he was a korea and vietnam vet, shotgun -- shot down in vietnam and a p.o.w. i worked for him when i was 16 years old. i have been blessed with great boss after great boss. i would put dick cheney in that category, too. i have been extraordinarily blessed. >> now, how do you pivot from congress and think tank world into trade association world? >> for me, it is a big pivot. like i said, because it is a free-market organization, that helps a lot. i don't think that is all that common in the trade organizations, but for me, believing in the mission. being in texas, being around the industry. >> being named derek. >> it was inevitable. i am proud of the work i do. i still get involved in the process. like i said, i think this week has been a huge week. we got to see it through to the end as well, with this proposal. the administration does have a preferred approach. they have these alternative proposals. you can bet that over the next 60 days, the comment period, that the left and maybe

you know, sam patton, the republican lobbyist who just pled guilty whose going to cooperate with the mueller team. these are people that are confidants. this is the personal attorney and michaelor donald trump. it's allen weisselberg, the long time c.f.o. who worked with trump's father. >> weisselberg, cfo. >> exactly. he worked with trump's father when trump was a kid. these are people that are so close to donald trump and you know we hear the phrase they know where the bodies are buried. but from a legal standpoint, they provide so much danger. you also mentioned david pecker, the ceo of ami, the parent company for the "national enquirer." i do not think, reverend, that it's going to be like when geraldo rivera open to the alcapone there was nothing there. i think if you look inside that safe that we hear about, there's going to be some juicy stuff in there. from a legal perspective, do we think that trump continues to perceive himself as a teflon don? and he has to be nervous. his kids are in the firing line. mueller's net and the noose is tightening. i believe if it's not the mueller investigation it could be a criminal investigation involving the trump foundation that co

like michael avenatti and others trying to get attention, willing to peddle the most salacious, uncorroborated, outrageous allegations against this nominee, that we will continue to see more of the sam nominations are pending on the senate calendar. if there's been one thing that has been a hallmark of our colleagues conduct across the aisle during the time of the trump administration, it is to obstruct and to deny this administration the benefit of the nominees, which they have sent to the senate for advise and consent. that includes not only judges but all aspects of the federal government. all 150 nominations pending because even in uncontroversial nomination, they want to obstruct, delay, and to deny. the people that we have chosen to help govern. so it strikes me as entirely consistent with what we have seen on this nomination. and i think it's disgraceful. senator hatch that yesterday i think the way dr. ford and judge kavanaugh have been treated is a scandal. and it is cruel, reckless, and indecent. >> senator whitehouse. >> thank you, i will be fairly brief because i have announced that i will vote against cabin already. it just, has an unpleasant record both of us with and
