adams filed when rhodes choked their 13-year-old daughter. rhodes challenged his son to a fight.ly arrested not for assault and attacking his family but attacking the capitol, adams tweeted this, quote. seems like a good time to repost that in the spring of 2018 my request for a protective order/restraining order against mys changed husband stewart rhodes was denied because the court didn't believe me when i said he was a threat. that is the man standing trial for seditious conspiracy. a man who helmed an paramilitary group who demanded security for black lives matters groups. a man who offered oath keeper services again on january 6 to overturn election results and keep donald trump in power. the cost of denying the accounts and experiences like tasha adams and her children can be steep for everyone. but those denials happen everyday, within families and workplaces and even courts. very few know more than anita hill professor of law and studies at brandeis university. most know the testimony she gave at the confirmation hearing of clarence thomas. joining us now is professor ani

would not connect the two, the president and stewart rhodes.t would your question be for stewart rhodes in a trial like this? >> if i could appear as chief impeachment counsel, my questions would be, who was that intermediary? was it roger stone? what do the president say at the time? president trump, that caused him to think he should come use force, and commit crimes in order to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. who were his earlier contacts? all of these people who surrounded the president and we're trying to prevent this transfer -- the peaceful transfer of power. what role did they play with the oath keepers? how long did these tentacles extend out to other people who were involved? and i think those are the questions i would ask. if i was the prosecutor, i would establish that he came here with intent to commit violence -- and that should be enough for conviction. >> how does this detail with the doj's investigation into january six? are they watching this and saying, basically creating a checklist? >> i think it is a preview of cer

tarrio and rhodes are charged with seditious conspiracy for their involvement. in the meantime, we're getting some indications of what the committee does plan to present on wednesday. "the washington post" reports that the committee intends to show footage of stone recorded by danish filmmakers in the weeks leading up to the 6th. and joining me is charles coleman jr., former prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst. peter strzok, former fbi counterintelligence, and a writer for the bulwark. the committee seems to be downplaying what denver riggleman has to say. yes, he's not on the staff now, yes, he's writing a book, but i watched the entire 60 minutes interview, and i have to say, i can't think of an innocent reason anyone in the white house would pick up the phone, even for nine seconds, and call somebody who is actively engaged in the insurrection in that moment. can you think of an innocent explanation why the white house switchboard would just happen to connect with one of the insurrectionists? >> well, joy, that's a good question. i think it is worth noting tha

you hear this in stewart rhodes talking, rhodes has created this legal theory for himself, he went tolaw, this is all gonna be fine as long as we get the goal from the president. of course, they planned this in violation of the law, they had people circle the capitol. this is basically rhodes ' defense ryan, they were not there to storm the capital of stop the certification to take over the government. they were waiting for trump president trump to invoke the insurrection act. it does seem like the relation to trump and his authority is gonna be part of the defense in this case. >> definitely and i think that's something that defense attourneys have said they are gonna have to convince the jury of this. i have this crazy legal theory that only if donald trump took action. they're gonna argue that a lot of the actions they took that day including leading guns outside of d. c. so as not to violate d. c. gun laws are in line with that. they were lying in wait and ready for action if donald trump called upon them. the problem for them of course is that the oath keepers and a lot of them w

rhode island has 20 or 36 islands, 37 islands. newport aquidneck island, which is where newport is, is the largest. the second largest is jamestown or connecticut island. so he's sent over to connecticut island to guard the bay. he's protecting the the the camp from the the the british had when the british were in newport, they occupied part of connecticut island and nobody is going over there to the same area of the camp to to manage, to maintain that and to protect the the the the port. so in case of an attack and lopetegui mentions that this is the only time that the british could have attacked and successfully conquered the french because there was they were still not organized they were still setting up their camp. they were making their fortifications building to digging the trenches. and so on. so he mentions that as the and then after they after that week, they lost that opportunity because then the french were so well entrenched that it was impossible for them to attack when they landed. one of the the ships, the is the f

the seditious conspiracy statute is an 1861 federal law that elmer rhodes may defend against by using an 1807 law. the wall street journal reports that elmer rhodes who hates his first name so much that he uses his middle name, may be planning to mount a defense based on the insurrection act. the wall street journal reports quote, the defense also hinges on the insurrection act, an 1807 a law that allows a president to deploy american troops inside the country. in the days before the january 6th attack on the capitol, some of mr. trump's allies urged him to invoke that law and unleash the military to help keep him in office. the defendants have said that they brought gear and weapons because they sincerely thought mr. trump would invoke the insurrection act. for that reason, they have said, they lacked the required criminal intent for seditious conspiracy. the problem with that particular defence is that the insurrection act does not empower the president to order people like elmer rhodes and his friends into battle. the 1807 law says the president may, upon the request of its legisla

"the new york times" describes the defense as novel and risky. "the times" says what to expect will be a government presentation with testimony from cooperating witnesses, reams of encrypted chats that rhodes and the other exchanged. and that this trial is a big one. so we talked about many different aspects of t

many areas in connecticut and rhode island, 3 to 5 inches. some areas, close to a foot of rain, creating scenes like this in providence. for a while, parts of interstate 95 south of providence was shut down because of the flooding. fortunately, we're toward the end now. the rain eventually will be working out. see it through the next several hours, showers and maybe a storm or two will be wrapping up. a few pockets here and there of heavy rain, but the worst of the worst does appear to be over. meanwhile, still dangerous heat in the west. and once again, norah, some record heat is possible with no significant relief for some possibly till the weekend. >> o'donnell: chris, thank you. in memphis, the multi-day search for a kidnapped teacher has come to a tragic end. police say they have identified the body of 34-year-old eliza fletcher, the kindergarten teacher who was abducted while jogging early friday morning. the suspect in her abduction is now facing additional charges, including first degree murder. here's cbs's elise preston. >> today is

ben rhodes served as deputy national adviser for obama, now co-host of podcast saved the world.realtime, advances, defeats. obviously, a tremendous amount of propaganda. but it's quite established in the last four, five days. a pretty remarkably successful counteroffensive by the ukrainians. what's the significance here? >> i think the significance, chris, is that this undermines what putin's political strategy has been, which since his failure to take kyiv, he clearly tried to wage a war of attrition, in which inch by inch, he could consolidate territory in eastern ukraine and southern ukraine, and taking the swath of land that connects down to crimea, which the russians invaded in 2014. and then, weaponize energy, gas and oil, to punish those countries, particularly european countries who've been supporting ukraine, and try to demoralize ukrainian's, new battlefield attrition, and demoralize their supporters or arming them in the west. and i think with this advance, it completely undermines putin's argument that a war of attrition serves his interest. what the ukrainians are s

rhode island is the first state in the country to have an offshore wind farms, the labor involved in that process from the very beginning. in fact, just five turbines, just the turbines off of flock island. that created 300 jobs. the administration is that nearly 80,000 similar jobs and they do involve welding and traditional trades. indeed, or stead, one of the biggest win developers in the northeast has already assigned a pla, a project planned agreement, with the building trade union for all future wind farms. so, new energy is not the and of good paying union jobs. it is the beginning, and, it also satisfies the demand for climate change. there has been a lot of discussion here about a shift of the market from coal to natural gas, which is wonderful. i do not think that feeling is shared by the united mine workers. so, let's be realistic. we do have to deal with this climate change issue, we have to deal with good solid jobs, we can do both if we try to do that. rather than just being rhetorical about all of this. doctor vajjhala, how would the economic benefit of the climate dis

rhode island hasn't said yes when he takes his oath of office as president. so only 11 states in the union and those are indivisible borders. and and in theory, rhode island and north carolina are independent nations. and they could make a treaty, as it were, with putin and you're going to have actually europe in mercenaries, hessians on american soil. so you've got to get them on board in washington and understands all of that totally. and in part for geostrategic reasons. madison actually says some of this in the first congress, but washington says it first. so madison gets it through. but washington actually pivots, i would say earlier than madison, because, remember, they, in effect, opposed the bill of rights in philadelphia mason was the guy who was proposing it. and they said thanks, but no thanks. and it takes madison like a year to make a pivot getting all these letters from jefferson haranguing him and he just kind of ignores them in jefferson's. so madison is important in the bill of rights and he shapes it and he's looking at are the best provisio
