by the way, collusion equals conspiracy, fred. 18 usc-371.t's not in the federal court. collusion, it's conspiracy. >> so then avery, if you are bob mueller and you're reading this latest tweet in concert with all the other tweets, what is this equipping you with if you are bob mueller in terms of whether this is direct, it's by mistake or it's intentional that the president is trying to stand in the way of an ongoing investigation? >> i think there's no question that the tweets -- remember, there were two of them. number one, he's asking jeff sessions to end it. well, that's not going to happen. secondly, listen to this, which is astonishing to me. he starts talking about the manafort trial and this is about manafort's behavior before he had any involvement with the trump campaign and he calls it a hoax. what he's trying to do, poison the jury across the bridge from where you are in alexandria? goodness gracious. the tweets i think are just impulsive reactions. i think the lawyers, the real lawyer, in the white house are maddened by what is

reserving the right to cite those same felonies as crimes in case they ever want to bring a rico. 18 usc 1961. that's racketeering. that's rico as in organized crime. federal prosecutors are reserving the right to charge something as an organized criminal entity under the rico statutes and that relates to michael cohen. what? that how soon is probably enough to light a little fire under someone who believes they might end up in the cross hairs of one or more of these investigations. but among all of these for the president's business and even his charity, even amid all of that, the paul manafort case really does stand out. it really does stand alone. michael flynn, the president's national security adviser pled guilty. rick gates, the deputy campaign chair, organizer of the nauks, pled guilt yiflt george dpaps, pled guilt yiflt paul manafort has not pled guilty. he stands alone here. things are happening to him fast. of course the same thing that he pled guilty in court, almost exactly simultaneously, paul manafort was convicted. the day after tomorrow, wednesday of this week, the prosec

he is currently working on a biography on fitzjohn porter, hopefully to be published by usc -- unc press. one thing we all know about him and his writing, is that he is a contrarian. he takes something that is a well-established thought within our field, and he often turns it upside down. so you can count on a talk that will crack open a new perspective on an often tired subject. you can also can't but his -- you can also count that his books, as well as his talks are eloquent. his writing, of course, i think is some of the best in our field. it is a real pleasure to introduce bill marvel. [applause] bill: well, good afternoon. i hope you all can hear better than i could. as i think some of you out there may be old enough to remember the last time i was here, a few of you. as pete indicated, it was because i had written a book about andersonville. this time, i am here because of an editor, really. the worst editor i ever had until i got into the newspaper business, was an assistant editor at the state historical societies quarterly journal in my home state. i had published a number of ar

i don't want to turn this into a law school class but 52 usc 30212 that's a statute that makes it a crime to get campaign aid from a foreign national or foreign adversary. >> and, in fact, just if i walk with you for a second, elie, it doesn't matter if anyone acted on it and, in fact, there's no proof that they didn't act on it given all of the coincidences that then transpired with the president saying, hey, russia, if you're listening and the timing from the mueller investigation indictment of when that first -- they first set up that fake russian -- what would you call it? >> the wikileaks dump? >> the wikileaks and also the trolling account. >> you're right. factually, that's a big gap we have to see if mueller is able to bridge. the eventual hacking and posting of wikileaks. but if there is no link ultimately, what you said right up front is correct. even if there was no ultimate delivery of dirt, you still have a crime. under federal law and i think every state law, just the agreement to commit a crime is a conspiracy. as long as there's an agreement plus some minimal action and he

. >> the position has been -- >> it matters, if you look at the code, which is 4 usc, the exact protocol was followed here. obviously, senator mccain, i would have had it on the entire time, personally. certain individuals, it has been a longer period of time. again, i think this is about honoring president mccain, senator mccain. i'm glad we got to the right position. i think the president, i don't know if it was a veteran's group, i think this is speculation. i don't think there's anybody to say it. >> were you disappointed that wasn't a more natural reaction? >> i would have wanted the flag at half mass the entire time, yes, i would have preferred that. i don't know what was in the president's mind when he felt that maybe calvin coolage once said, if you don't say it you don't have to explain it. maybe there wasn't a thinking or the president didn't give the advice. >> i think that's being more than kind to president trump. this is a sad example for, i think young people in politics. i think of so many people like myself, the first time i could cast a ballot was 2008 election for obam

the usc graduate said his love of filmmaking was instilled by his immigrant parents. >> my mom used tos early to see a movie. even today, i gohome to san joe to watch the oscars with the family. >> he quit his job directing commercials for google when this opportunity came up. he knew he had to have john cho, the actor at the center of the starring john cho campaign, a social media movement that began asking why can't minorities star in more hollywood films. >> the guy that everyone's always like, oh, i wish we saw more of him, but no one puts him in more things. it was a cool opportunity to give him the role we've always wanted to see him in. >> now the little movie made by five guys shot in 13 days but took a whopping 18 month to edit is ready for its national release. just like it was for "crazy rich asians," a box office hit directed by another south bay native, asian americans have been buying out theaters to support "searching." i caught the screening last week. it was suspenseful, creative. both john cho and co-star debra messing were very strong. viewers will notice many refere

a lot of his friends are now in the administration including the person heading uscs that would be administering the green cards. what they want to do is bring down the overall immigrants who come into the united states, legal or not. there's a group called numbers usa that wants to limit this. they're good friends with steven miller. i think part of the timing around this, stephanie, as some people have said, it could be that they want to change the conversation going into the midterms so that we're not talking about immigration in terms of separating mothers from their children. we're talking about immigration in terms of migrants who are using public programs. it's a way to try to shift the conversation and try to change the way we frame immigration in this country. >> all right. i want to bring my panel back in to weigh on this. congressman maloney, what is your take? because i don't believe any of us are native american indians so we are all descendants of most likely legal immigrants. that's how the system works. >> first, you want to know why i'm running for attorney general, that's why.
