Full Show - Mueller And Co. Have Been Under Criminal Investigation By The DOJ For 11 Months - 12/04/2017


Published on Dec 4, 2017 by The Alex Jones Channel [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvsye7V9psc-APX6wV1twLg / https://www.youtube.com/user/TheAlexJonesChannel , https://www.youtube.com/user/TheAlexJonesChannel/videos ]

Monday, Dec. 4th 2017[, with Matt Dubiel hosting the fourth hour]: Russia Narrative Unravels - Alex Jones breaks down the Democrats' plan to impeach the President and remove him from office through a phony Obstruction of Justice Charge that Trump is preparing for with his legal team. Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz says there's no case for 'obstruction of justice' against President Trump, as the Russian collusion narrative continues to dissolve. And the Fake News machine collapses, with ABC News having to retract a bombshell report alleging Trump ordered Flynn to collude with Russians BEFORE he was president. Alex Jones reveals that Robert Mueller and his team are currently under criminal investigation by the Trump Justice Department and have discreetly been under review for the past eleven months. Also, the president backs Roy Moore for Alabama senator, as he scores another big win on tax cuts.

Inside The Clean-Up Of Chernobyl, The World's Worst Nuclear Disaster (HBO)


Published on Dec 4, 2017 by VICE News [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZaT_X_mc0BI-djXOlfhqWQ / https://www.youtube.com/user/vicenews , https://www.youtube.com/user/vicenews/videos ]

At the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, workers are tackling the final preparations for a major milestone, slated for next year: handing over full control of the site to Ukraine. Chernobyl still holds the distinction of being the world’s worst nuclear disaster. And the job of containing the fallout has required an international cast of players. A year ago, crews finished putting the new sarcophagus in place. It’s a massive steel arch -- officially called the New Safe Confinement -- that covers the destroyed reactor. Now, workers are busy sealing up the space between the new sarcophagus and the old one-- which was built in the 80s. And they’re facing some of the highest levels of radiation they’ve encountered so far. Jake Hanrahan got an exclusive look.

Trump’s Pattern: Discredit Everyone Else
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/04/opinion/trump-flynn-fbi.html

Trump's lawyers are laying the groundwork for a brazen new legal strategy in the Russia probe
President Donald Trump's defense team is arguing that Trump cannot be charged with collusion or obstruction of justice — the central threads of the special counsel's Russia investigation.
Two of Trump's key defense lawyers, John Dowd and Jay Sekulow, have said in recent days that collusion is not a crime and that Trump as president cannot be guilty of obstruction.
Legal experts have pushed back on the claims, saying that Trump's lawyers are ignoring the crux of the obstruction case and that he could be found guilty of crimes resulting from collusion.

GOP Senator Implies Those Who Aren’t Millionaires Waste Money On ‘Booze, Women’
That’s why the richest deserve a break on estate taxes, says Chuck Grassley.
In an astonishing defense of dropping “death taxes” for individual estates worth more than $5.5 million, GOP Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley implied that people not currently affected by that tax are “spending every darn penny ... on booze or women.”
“I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing — as opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it’s on booze or women or movies,” Grassley told the Des Moines Register in an interview published Saturday. Grassley, who serves on the Finance Committee, made the remark when asked about the Senate tax reform measure which would double the exemption for estates to $11 million for an individual and $22 million for a couple. Heirs would inherit the estates tax-free.
Grassley’s comment triggered a wave of criticism on social media. Many complained that the working class is, in fact, spending “every darn penny” on raising their kids, caring for elderly parents, health care and putting food on the table. One Twitter user complained that the GOP was turning America into a version of “The Hunger Games.”
