collins' truck and wired explosives to the brake lights. they went to a motel and waited. >> around 7:30 that sunday morning when robert lee collins was backing he tapped the brakes. >> narrator: the force of the explosion ripped apart the truck and robert collins. >> both legs were blown off essentially. most of his left hand, and then on the right hand two or three fingers. he lived for six hours or so but essentially died of the blunt force trauma and bleeding to death. >> holley and smith learned on the news that the explosion had happened and so they drove back immediately to florida, got paid and went their way. >> narrator: prosecutors decided not to charge smitty with the federal crime of killing a witness. instead, he was tried in louisiana state court for capital murder. >> the state of louisiana had capital punishment as a potential sentence. the federal government did not have that at the time. there was ever a case for the death penalty, it was certainly this particular case. >> they was trying to kill me. i had a paid attorney at that time. as far as i know, he never did any investigating. after the prosecution finished their ca

i would like to acknowledge the presence of amy chan and robert collins and they will be available for -- to the board if the supervisors have questions. the planning department has a website for the housing balance reports as required by the ordinance. the current report can be downloaded from the site. that's all for now. i will be here for questions the supervisors may have. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you for that presentation. this is a report where i always cringe because as you documented district 4 does pretty poorly in creating new housing in our district. so i hope that it will change over time and a more positive upswing of seeing the negative 277% is disheartening. >> supervisor kim: i want to thank the planning department for conducting the bi-annual reports on housing balance. we first introduced this back in 2014. and while it does not build more affordable housing or get us to a goal, it's important for us to have a clear and transparent lens for the board of supervisors, mayor and the public to understand how we're achieving our goals on building more affordab

robert redford's career. if you look back to british custody and sundance kid, we've seen him doing collins and robberies.t was lovely, really charming with a bit of an edge to it. his character does this stuff, apparently, because he is in love with it. summary said, why is he smiling all the time? because he she seems to enjoy what he is doing. it is very gentle but it has real substance. you really believe in those characters. i smiled the way through. a fitting tribute to a great film career? he has said never say never and i'm sure he'll will have a million authors. it is a great not to end on because it is such a great film. sorry to bother you do? from director bruce o'reilly. a serial satire set in an alternative presence. there is a young man struggling for rent. he ta kes a young man struggling for rent. he takes a job with telemarketing and he is told by danny glover who is his workmate, your problem is you need to use your white voice. he says the white boys sounds relaxed and casual stop it the voice your callers think they want to hear. he does this and start climbing up the ladder which put

collins, at the white house. >> reporter: it seems that president trump bottled his anger toward the special counsel robert muellernd unleashed it in a series of tweets going after the special counsel, but after his former attorney michael cohen who recently pleaded guilty to lying to congress. president trump is not only saying he lied under oath, but calling for the maximum prison sentence for michael cohen saying he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for the crimes he committed which he says were not related to him. two high profile guilty pleas have had to do directly with president trump. one admitted he violated campaign finance laws which he did at the direction of president trump and lying to congress, which he said he did out of loyalty to president trump. this seems to have unnerved president trump. we reported michael cohen sat down with the special counsel's team for at least 70 hours over the last several weeks which is something clearly giving the president a cause for concern. dave and christine. >>> president trump showering praise on roger stone for standing up against robert mu

> we turn now to the molar investigation -- the robert mueller investigation and new information from court documents. the filings suggest michael collins felony campaign violations came at the direction of candidate trump. jana, the white house said that michael cullen is lying in hopes of getting a lighter sentence. >> reporter: these memos indicate that president trump's former attorney could end up in prison. they also revealed that michael cohen has cooperated with the robert mueller team providing details about the russia probe and the trump company in the white house. an additional memo on paul manafort said he has been lying to the robert mueller team. >> what you think will happen today? >> reporter: no comment from michael cohen on friday. he pled guilty to campaign- finance violations and tax evasion in august. friday's document state that he was directed to pay off two women, stormy daniels and karen mcdougall who claim they had affairs with donald trump. the payments just weeks before the 2016 election. >> what it says is that michael cohen acted at the direction of the person identified as individual one who will not is pr

collins with more. >> reporter: dave and christine, michael flynn is expected to be sentenced in the federal d.c. court today. we know special counsel robert mueller has recommended litt little-to-no jail time. the special counsel released a memo detailing the notes that the fbi agents took when they interviewed michael flynn at the white house in his office when he lied to him about his interactions during the transition period. they asked about his conversations with sergei kislyak and an upcoming u.n. vote on the israeli saettlement and discussed the russian expulsion of the spies during the interference in the obama administration. he asked to mute reaction to that because the trump administration would come into office in a matter of days. what we were seeing from the memo released by the special counsel shows the level of detail in the questions that were largely yes or no questions that michael flynn said no to when, in fact, he had discussed these things with the russian ambassador. it adds to the level of drama the day that michael flynn is going to be sentenced as well as two being sentenced for the lobbying in turkey. dave and c

roberts. later, some people may not be here anymore. cassandra curio, and mary wayne, and alison collins. >> i'm impressed by the budget concepts and how you take these huge tariff concepts and make then attainable to us mere more mortals. and where's commissioner haney? i'm preaching to the choir here, i know, but i can come across the street and say this again later, too. it's fine. but education's a civil right. education's a social safety net, and multiple studies have shown the correlation between high school drop out rates between under employment, incarceration rates. in fact it seems to me that the best way to reduce our homelessness crisis, to address it, mitigate it a little bit might be to, i don't know, spend more money to educating our population, especially when the fund, as commissioner haney has previously pointed out, includes the name education. so thank you for all the work that you're doing here, and hopefully, we can share that message across the street. thank you very much. >> my name's julia roberts-fong. san francisco education association. >> i don't want to talk

collins as is possible? >> actually, to borrow from shakespeare's "hamlet," chief justice roberts and the democrats are hoistedpetard. they all said -- they made it very clear that the individual mandate was the absolutely essential element. roberts, in his opinion -- of course, he said it was not -- page 14, 40 pages later. he said the only way additional constitutional, only because of their taxing authority. you remove what the democrats and robert say was the absolute in central element. the individual mandate, which we did, in the tax cut bill of a year ago. the whole thing has to fall. they're the ones who said it does have to fold. the whole thing hung on the individual mandate. and now that tax is zero, it's gone away. the act must follow. their words will come back to haunt them. this garbage about "we have no alternative," i know it sounds good to say that but it's just not true. we passed a bill in the house and the senate lacked one vote, getting a bill through so that we could have a conference committee. we still can do that. senator mccain, god rest his soul, is not there. but we ought to be abl

robert miller's gradually unveiling his findings. his offices due to unveil details of how paul manafort lied after agreeing to a plea deal. mueller's office is also expected to detail michael collins cooperation with the council, and has filed sentencing memos for trump's former attorney. >>> mueller is not going to lay out his entire case in a memorandum, i think he's going to give us some tidbits and nuggets but this is not going to be a full reveal. >> the investigation of russian interference into the 2016 election began with the fbi under former director james comey. this morning he will testify before the house judiciary committee about his handling of that and of the investigation into former secretary of state hillary clinton's private email server. at first komi challenged the subpoena to appear in a private session, he wanted to testify publicly. republicans rejected that. >> why jim komi, the last time i was in a public hearing with him over 100 times he said i cannot answer in this setting. why mr. transparency wants to go back to a setting where he knows he cannot answer the questions is befuddling to me and i don't think we buy that. >> komi agreed to drop the suit w

collins. as we just come to air that russian social media accounts are going after robert mueller. >> well, it's just consistent with how the russian government has treated donald trump since he declared his candidacy. they are doing his bidding. whether it's by supporting trump explicitly, whether it's by suppressing turn out of supporters of hillary clinton, whether it's attacking hillary clinton or now attacking president trump's adversary, robert mueller. now, i don't know if there's any connection between the trump presidency or the trump campaign and what's going on now. but, again, it shows how russia's interests are aligned with president trump's interest. >> ken, as a republican politician and leader, are you comfortable that the russian message so often is directly in line with the white house message? >> well, i'm not comfortable with any involvement by the russians because i would note this is all minuscule and we also haven't talked about and referee rattled off a number of angl angles and they're disruptive efforts after ferguson. i mean senator bloomenthal mentioned that russia's

republicans want to learn from him now plus how close is special counsel robert mueller to finishing his investigation? congressman doug collinshe house judiciary committee and will join us on that just ahead. >> bill: tragedy on a highway when a charter bus carrying many children loses control and crashes. we'll hear the 911 call and let you know how everybody is doing in a moment here next. >> we saw our hearts broken. we saw tears. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan for up to 100% of your home's value. if you need cash for your family, call newday usa. with automatic authority from the va, we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call. call now: 1-855-376-1361. no matter how much you clean, does your house still smell stuffy? that's because your home is filled with soft surfaces that trap odors and release them back into the room. so, try febreze fabric refresher. febreze finds odors trapped in fabrics and cleans them away as it dries. use f

those who say like susan collins was saying she thinks it's going to be overturned, i don't any stock in that. you go to the supreme court. it was roberts who along with others who upheld the affordable care act. five are still on the bench. i feel like something like this, you me who appointed you and i tell you what the outcome is going to be. i don't think that democrats should be feeling comfortable that this is going to be overturned either at the fifth circuit level or the supreme court. if the supreme court gets this, the decision will happen in an election year 2020. that puts all the more pressure on congress to actually come up with something. >> and david, to that point, this is not necessarily become a partisan issue. we saw in the mid-terms that republicans were less and less inclined to attack obamacare. they realized how much it benefits them when it am cans to preexisting conditions. while you have the president out there on twitter celebrating this, this is not necessarily something that congressional republicans are going to echo. what's the republican play here? >> this is ironic. eight years after obamacare cost them

robert mueller. what do you think? >> look, we have offered up a broad bipartisan compromise i worked on with senator mccain and collinsrlier in this congress that would have given a significant investment in border security over a decade in exchange for a path to citizenship for dreamers and fixing a number of other challenges in our immigration system. i have been willing to work across the aisle on that compromise. it is an interesting idea. i am very concerned about robert mueller, particularly given matthew whittaker, the acting attorney general's refusal to listen to the advice of the professional ethics advisers in the department of justice. you know, i personally don't think we need to throw another $5 billion into the border wall through a slush fund without congressional oversight, but i am willing to invest more in border security. so i don't think the gap is that big. and the idea of getting the bill that senator flake and i have gone on the floor now three times to demand a vote on, getting that bill passed would be a significant step forward in my view. >> first of all, senator, the use of the new jazz ha

robert mueller is reportedly reaching the end of his russian election meddling investigation news reports he is expected to submit report to the attorney general as early as mid-february. >> susan collinstime about the harassment backlash she faced because of a vote to confirm now supreme court justice brett kavanaugh nau, spoke to martha mccallum. >> waiting for me in rain and dark i look around streets nobody else out, he follows me to my house, starts screaming at me, shining flashlight in my eyes. >> that was part of it also talked about staff, suffered verbal abuse one had to quit because of a threatening phone call made to her. lauren: pharmacy benefit manager sealed 54-billion-dollar merge approved by justice department, today, is national ugly sweater day a lot of details had actually, for if you don an ugly sweater 0 bucks off pretty good those wearing ugly sweaters can board alaska airlines flights early ahead of the rush. i didn't get one. cheryl: you are getting one. stand by later today. >> take a look at futures this morning, how fairing as they close out week not good dow down 119 s&p down 13 nasdaq 136, altria anheiser busch in the's business mom and pop pot shop a thin

collins' plan should be revisited but let's move on. steve: let's do move on. rudy giuliani made it very clear yesterday the president of the united states will sit down and talk to robertld be dead. i'm disgusted with the tactics they used in this case what they did to general flynn would result in discipline. they are violating the laws. looking a noncrime collusion. other one is looking at non-campaign violation which are not violations. they are the ones violating the law, the rules, the ethics. and nobody wants to look at them u. steve: the president will talk to robert mueller over rude yption dead body. that's the condition. brian: on meet the press rudy giuliani indicated he wasn't supposed to talk about conditions that led up to the interview because after he submitted the written questions they were going to talk about maybe sitting down for an interview. got really worked up because him and chris wallace sparred pretty heavily. he was a little bit more accommodating earlier. ainsley: we were asking. i said he, brian, didn't the president already answer those questions and turned in the questions? you said that was for collusion. steve: all those questions, th

roberts and from michigan. and on the house side, mike conaway of texas and ranking member collin peterson for minnesota. ,he four of them, essentially made a closed-door meetings to work out the details with their staff over a series of months. but the house had unveiled its original plan way back in april, so this has been an eight-month process. the farm bill did expire on october 1, so the pressure is on to get it done. >> one of those conferees was the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, who tweeted this before the passage. pen,g it official with my proud served as a contrary to fight for kentucky priorities. with today's signature, my to legalize industrial hemp is one step closer to reality. explain that to us and why is been a priority. >> mitch mcconnell sees this as an economic opportunity for kentucky. mp is currently on the federal list of controlled substances. he wants that to be removed and that is essentially what the farm bill would do. it paves the way for it to be legalized at the federal level. right now, some states have legalized it, but it is federally illegal, so we want to make sure t
