broadcast about joseph mccarthy. here's a portion no one familiar with the history of his country can deny that congressional committees are useful. it is necessary to investigate before legislating. but the line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one. and the junior senator from wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly. his primary achievement has been in confusing the public mind as between the internal and the external threats of communism. we must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. we must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. jim townsend of the 11 center housing nif account was this broadcast that edward r murrow did. it was a really significant broadcast. it, you know, a lot of people have pointed to that broadcast as a as a watershed moment. there are scholar who who say that, well, as important as it was, it didn't change history. it was part of a series of events that started to damage the credibility of senator mc

he was at the side of senator joseph mccarthy in communist hunting episodes of the 1950s. he was really the pivotal mentor in donald trump's life, and so there is a role for those kind of people, not just in trump's life, but in our politics these days. and trump has people like that around him. a roger stone, a steve bannon, but they tend not to be lawyers, and this is the key differential. the lawyers who are willing to work for trump want to win the case and therefore they want to adhere to norms. they don't want to tee off against the judge who's handling their own case whereas trump wants that. so they're just never going to get along. he's not going to find another roy cohn of the stature he needs and of the talent he needs to prevail in a case like this. on the other hand, trump knows that he has the experience to back him up. rule breaking, doing runs around norms, works. when you disrespect and mistrust and violate the rules of the system, you often do get away with it, especially if you're donald trump. >> marc fisher, such fascinating stuff, danny cevallos, than
