senator-elect adam schiff said he would not want to accept a pardon.on the list how they would consider it. if you are advising someone or talking to somebody about this, what do they weigh? what are the things they would weigh? there's a political question here i guess. >> it's a political but also personal question, because the supreme court indicated if you accept a pardon, it might be a sign you are accepting guilt. there's that kind of tension for people like dr. fauci who believe they have done absolutely nothing wrong. that's one set of things to consider. another set of things is the expense of litigation and an investigation, even if no charges will be brought. a corrupt justice department can make your life living hell. that would be a consideration in favor of it. the taking a pardon. the last thing i would think about for these folks is, if they do take the pardon, is that opening the door to the next time around that once trump becomes president again, him to go after other people? after all, there won't be a president biden the next time

obviously adam schiff doesn't think he did anything wrong, unless he knows he did.nt a pardon. jack smith thinks he is -- he thinks he is some type -- he is matlock. he is going to hunt you down. he thinks he is a hero. so i don't think he is going to wants to a pardon whoomplet are they talking about? >> lawrence: it is trump derangement syndrome on steroids right now. the country is coming together. you see all of the people in big tech finally talking about, look, we can work with the president. even got some democrats on capitol hill saying okay, we can work with the president on this. then you have the figures leadership of the democratic party freaking out for no reason. remember when they said lock hillary clinton up. trump said i'm not going to do that because i don't think it's good for the country. >> brian: then she launched her dossier. >> lawrence: they think trump is going to treat them like they treated him. >> ainsley: that's right. they know what politicians are capable of. >> lawrence: exactly right. >> ainsley: because they were doing it. >> brian

in addition to zoe lofgren from the south bay and senator adam schiff, who's down in southern california. southern california's pete aguilar also sat on that committee. all three are democrats. worth noting that there are also republicans on the january 6th house committee. congressman schiff called mr. trump's words a threat. this is not just about retribution against those of us on the committee. this is about sending a message that no one better hold him to account in his second term. no one better look at what he does do their congressional job that he is intent on trying to break down these checks and balances in our system. congresswoman lofgren releasing this statement, saying in part, donald trump suggestion that the justice department should investigate and or jail members of congress for our legislative work is unconstitutional, dangerous, and should be laughed at by any legitimate lawyer. on january 6th, there was a serious attack on our capitol and our democracy. i will continue to tell the truth about it, and i remain undaunted by threats. let's bring in our political analys

adam schiff a california who at the time was the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee and fellow california congressman eric swalwell who sat on the committee. the ig report found the trump doj violated its own policies and the weight secretly obtained phone and text records from reporters in the same investigations. we knew a bit of this before, but not the details or the depth of this trump effort. in fact, the ig investigation was opened three years ago after the "new york times" first reported that the trump doj had secretly spied on them, congressional staffers and journalists from the times, washington post and cnn in an effort to find leakers. it began after that then attorney general jeff sessions is multiple news outlets reported on the trump campaign connection to russia including intelligence i had been classified at the time. obtaining the records of sitting members of congress was troubling enough, but the spying was turbocharged under bill barr. the new ig report said that when bill barr approves subpoenas a phone a text records in 2020, he did not tell a

anthony fauci, liz cheney, adam schiff, and former joint chiefs chairman general mark milley., the question is, should biden do it? joining me now is melissa murray, nyu law professor, msnbc legal analyst, and co-host of "the strict scrutiny" podcast. thank you for being here. i want to read to you what senator-elect adam schiff, who served on the january 6th committee, the committee that conducted those questions that we just saw in that clip, he served on that committee and he said, i would urge the president not to do that, not to issue preemptive pardons. i think it would seem defensive and unnecessary. give me your thoughts on that, because adam schiff didn't commit a crime, he just ran a committee that uncovered potential crimes committed by donald trump. that's why trump hates him and so many other people that testified. if joe biden were to issue preemptive pardons to them, would it feed the idea that they had committed a crime? >> well, i think that's certainly the worry here. as representative now senator-elect schiff has said, he believes this is unnecessary because

fauci may have a very different answer than adam schiff, for instance, to just take three examples.omplicated as to how you do it, but in general, i am in favor of it in terms of a way to protect the rule of law. >> it is an interesting point andrew just raised, neal , and you both have been people who have advised clients, of course, in a variety of worlds, everyone is not going to get a chance to talk to you if they are considering this, but senator elect adam schiff has said he would not want a pardon. we don't know others on the list, how they would consider it. but if you're advising someone or talking to somebody about this, what do they way, what are the things they would weigh? there is a political question really, i guess. >> it is the political, but also a personal question, because the supreme court and the verdict case digested if you accept a pardon, it might be a sign that you are accepting guilt, so there's that kind of tension for people like dr. fauci who believe they have done absolutely nothing wrong, so that is one set of things to consider. another set of things

or that adam schiff, oh, my goodness, he might look guilty if he took a pardon. take the pardon because these guys are going to come after you. the norms have been broken and they've been broken by donald trump. that evidently the country wants the norms to have been broken. so let's start behaving like them. i mean, from my perspective, i'm tired of always being asked to be the one to unite the country. no, he shouldn't she shouldn't pardon donald trump. absolutely not. but he should pardon democrats because that's what donald trump would do. and if that's what america wants, democrats should start acting like that too. >> all right everyone. >> much more ahead. coming up next. democrats are trying to look for their future and new leadership. a few names are in the mix, including one person at the table. he'll announce his decision. stand by we only come across an artist like luther vandross once in a lifetime. >> he was a boss from the beginning. >> luther said, i have a sound in my head. i got to get it out you are my shining star. >> my, it was the most excit

he said it looks defensive. >> well, adam schiff, listen the question is, would they accept a pardondon't think he did anything wrong, which they didn't, they might want to not take a pardon. but i will say this you're talking about an unprecedented crew of people coming in there. there. listen, even if they don't indict you, they can investigate you into bankruptcy torture you with fbi investigations kash patel is evidently going to be our next fbi director. is that what you want to be dealing with for the rest of your life? >> during the time he was out of office, president trump got actually indicted by a grand jury. they tried to bankrupt him. they tried. they raided his house. they did the same thing they raided his house because he had he had documents that he stored there. >> i don't think that liz cheney has any secret documents stored. if she does, obviously they should be reading her house too. but look, they have already said that they're going to come after these people. and so from my perspective, i like amen to everything chuck just said. i'm tired of the pearl clutchin

but i would be even more controversial and we know that adam schiff, among others is said he doesn'ts been targeted by donald trump for retribution. it is a tough call when you know you have an incoming president who said that his will be in the administration of retribution but the controversy over pardoning people who've never been charged with anything, that's pretty tough stuff. [30 that's pretty tough stuff. do ou that's pretty tough stuff. do you think — that's pretty tough stuff. do you think a presidential pardon power should be reformed? it is in the power should be reformed? it 3 in the constitution flatly as an unlimited power. but obviously, there has to be some limits. what do you do if a president takes a bribe to pardon an individual? what do you do if for president self pardons. now, none the supreme court in the united states is said that presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts taken, they can use the power of immunity to also tell their subordinates, power of immunity to also tell theirsubordinates, go power of immunity to also tell their subordinat

some of the people who have been named, like adam schiff, senator-elect schiff from california says hehink it was a good idea, he wouldn't want a pardon, understandably. but there are some people that the white house feels could be bankrupted by this and have their lives ruined if they are targeted. we already saw just the other day cash patel sending the lawyer for a whistleblower who had been a homeland security detail to vice president pence's covid task force and became a public critic, and threatening her because of things she had said on this network. >> reporter: one of the things that people may not realize is long before it ever gets to a criminal charge being filed, if you are called before congress, if you are engaged in any way in an investigation, the people we're talking about do hire lawyers. sometimes it is government staffers at a lower level who don't have, you know, personal wealth to cover legal bills. legal bills, can, in fact, and often do bankrupt people in this process. so it is, in part, a way to protect them from the entire process. not just implying that ther

those who could face exposure include senator-elect adam schiff, former bp to representative liz cheneyd anthony fauci. white house officials are carefuling weighing the step of handing out blanketa pardons to those who have committed no crimes because it could suggest impropriety fueling trump's criticisms, and because those offered preemptive pardons may reject them. michael steele, former republican chairman and host of "the weekend" here on msnbc, also with me is "new york times" opinion columnist the great michelle goldberg. michael steele, do you see -- i know trump is going to try and make hay out of any preemptive pardons. do you think the american public writ large would take issue with preemptive pardons of liz cheney and adam schiff and adam kinzinger? >> yeah, probably from some extent because of -- what you just said, the connotation that a pardon is somehow linked to a crime. you've been adjudicated, you know, by a court or your peers, and have been found criminally liable and et cetera, et cetera. when you come with a presidential pardon, they either give you a pardon tha

there are people like adam schiff, for instance, who seems to be in the cross hairs, right. >> nancy.cheney, nancy pelosi. a lot of people who say don't give me a pardon. i didn't do anything wrong. if he wants to come after me, come after me. knowing liz cheney, i'm sure liz cheney would be the same. like, go ahead make my day. come after me for doing my job. make me a political martyr, make me the next president of the united states. here i am. don't give me a pardon for something i didn't do. >> yeah, and, joe, i think that you're going to see more of that in the coming days, people who say don't preemptively give me a pardon. you're going to suggest i need a pardon for something, and i don't want that. please don't do that. here's the sort of back story, though, for people who are less high profile for adam schiff and liz cheney. people serving in the administration in some kind of appointive capacity, jack smith, and below jack smith level, looking at a lot of money and legal fees potentially if there is any kind of prosecution next year. that's a bit of a delicate situation. i t

liz: interesting and there's a story he wants to preemptively pardon liz cheney and adam schiff.etting in gear to enact trump's mandate for the american people to fix america. what does the senate majority leader doing? look whose with us former home depot ceo we love bob nardelli. stay with us he's so smart. stay right there. >> we will make america safe, strong, prosperous, powerful and free again. and i'm asking every citizen all across our land to join me in this nobel and righteous endeavor that's what it is. this holiday season... -kevin? -catherine! all aboard the freedom unlimited! kevin... kevin? kevin... kevin!!! and kevin - uh, i mean, macaulay - take a very special trip to the mall where anything... come and get your little kev! is... cashbackable!!! -really? -yeah. anything is cashbackable!!! chill. sorry!

fauci former retired mark milley and adam schiff and former congresswoman liz cheney for months presidenten and press secretary says hunter wouldn't be pardoned and after spending thanks giving in nantucket before jetting off to africa. >> he did wrestle with this. he wrestled with this, and again, he said in his statement and his own voice that he made that decision this past weekend. and the fact is when you think about how the president got to this decision circumstances have changed. he wrestled with these circumstances the president laid it in his own words. he did. he laid out how he wrestled with this decision. >> donald trump incoming press secretary reacted to this about face. >> you tell the truth and i think karine jean-pierre was lied to or was lying to the press and therefore american people which is a complete dereliction of duty. reporter: so griff we will wait to see if there's anymore of these pardons or pre-emptive pardons coming perhaps before president biden leaves office. griff. displif we shall be watching lucas as viewers on bottom right have been watching jill bide

those face january 6th committee senator elect adam schiff, former g.o.p.n aides for a potential pardon, anthony fauci. this would be preemptive pardons for those being considered by president biden. >> such a move would be extraordinary, bret. we are already seeing biden break new ground in his pardon of his son hunter. not necessarily pardoning hunter and himself but the fact that the breadth of the pardon covering all crimes hunter may have committed or did commit in decade long period was extraordinary and has caused the president many political problems. of course, he has not answered a single question or said anything about that pardon since departing for africa right after releasing it. to do something of this nature preemptive pardons. not only a scandal but also raise many questions that people around the country already have about what shenanigans have some of these figures been up to and i think it would only be in a way an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of some of these figures if they were to accept this type of preemptive pardon.

via the department of justice or the fbi against, you know, a newly- newly-elected senator like adam schiffwell-respected member of congress like benny thompson, that is going to take some -- even if it doesn't deter adam schiff, or benny thompson, it may deter the next one. i think on balance i would not be dissuaded by what it means for donald trump. >> all right, marc, stay with us. we want to talk about that breathing room you just referenced. president biden racing to secure his judicial legacy. this is "the weekend" on msnbc. c my work shirt. just wear it again! i added the unstopables now with odor blocker and it keeps our clothes fresh all day! [sniff] ooo imma be feelin it at work today. she smells so good i'm actually paying attention! smell unstopable. ahh, yellow! didn't pass the tissue test? buckle up! whoa! there's toothpaste white, and there's crest 3dwhitestrips white. whitens like a 400 dollar professional treatment. pilot: prepare for non-stop smiles. crest. your business needs a network it can count on... even during the unexpected. power's out! -power's out! power's out!

adam schiff, liz cheney. there's an enemies list that is long here.ortedly long here when you look at who trump and his allies may go after. if president biden chooses to offer these, how many will be needed? and will he accept a pardon? even if they believe nothing they've done is wrong at all. >> a two-part question. the first one is very good. if you do the first swipe at people, what about their deputies? jack smith's team, et cetera. it gets bigger and bigger. it would have to be an arbitrary cut-off. the law, people think you have to accept. it's really a little bit unclear. they would have the option to accept. i think there would be a couple people, senator-elect schiff is one of them who would say, i'm not going to do it. i've done nothing wrong. if trump come after him, he could then say, here it is. i've got the pardon. he would be armed even if he didn't want to use it. >> something we'll stay on and keep reporting on. there's also new reporting by nbc news about tulsi gabbard, donald trump's pick for the nation's highest ranking intellige

, you don't have to accept the pardon, so if it is offered by joe biden and there's people like adam schiffould do it, that doesn't necessarily mean he has to accept it. >> the supreme court is clear you can reject a pardon, if this does come down, they will be a question, if they are put in a list, could the trigger retribution from the trolls and that sort of right-wing energy that joe biden would be trying to protect against. if it is more of a jimmy carter pardon then you just get a timeframe and a definition of who would fall under that. i don't think there would need to be a formal acceptance, the question would come up if donald trump went ahead and prosecuted people within that definition anyway, then they would come up and say listen, i fall within that pardon so the indictment or the subpoena should be quashed, the indictment should be dismissed. so it is possible to have that broad pardon and not have everyone step up and say yes or no, although that is not foreclosing later an argument by team trump that it is not a valid pardon because it wasn't accepted while biden was still p

california senator adam schiff, not a fan of biden's potentially preemptive pardons. ote, completely unnecessary. what does that tell you, newt? >> well, first of all, he doesn't think he's done anything which is illegal as opposed to just stupid. [laughter] i think. but in addition, you know, you're assuming a presumption of guilt. i mean, why would somebody who's not been found guilty of anything want to be pardon which implies that they were guilty? and i think this whole idea of a preemptive pardon is unconstitutional and, frankly, is the sort of thing people dream op up when -- dream up when they feel too liberated by marijuana, are sitting around late at night talking to each other, and the smoke and the haze confuses their brain. you can't have a preemptive pardon. the person's to not even guilty of anything, you know? and i do think, by the way, that what biden has done by pardoning his son is he's actually set the stage for president trump on the very first day to pardon if virtually all of the j6 prisoners which is manager that should be done in term -- somet

mateo county congresswoman zoe lofgren served on that committee, along with soon to be senator adam schiffiff will be officially sworn in, fillingl the seat of senator laphonza butler, who resigned effective yesterday. she says it's to make sure an elected senator takes over as soon as possible. butler was appointed to the senate last fall following the late senator dianne feinstein's death. >> sunday mass was celebrated inside the notre dame cathedral for the first time since the catastrophic fire of 2019. the world famous cathedral reopened on saturday and yesterday morning in san francisco, a celebratory mass was held at the eglise notre dame des victoires. seventh graders at the church's french school led the service. >> it's very important to us because we bear the same name. we are ecole notre dame des victoires, and though we are continents apart, we both bear the name of mary. and so we are called to support one another in our joyous times and in our difficult times. and we thought it was a really important opportunity to bring our students together to recognize the significance as

adam schiff posted this photo on x.of office in the old senate chamber of the u.s. capitol. while adam schiff s wife held an ancient jewish text for him to place his hand on. well, there's a new poll out showing most people in california feel pessimistic about california's economy and its future. according to a poll by the public policy institute of california. only 48% of people who were surveyed approve of governor newsom's handling of the economy. 50% did not approve. now, this is the first year support of governor newsom's handling of the economy has dropped below 50%. the same poll found 54% of people surveyed disapprove of the performance of california lawmakers. >> all right. 618 is the time. back over to sal, checking in on traffic. one big problem. you're keeping an eye on on 101, sal. >> that's right. pam and dave. northbound 101 at 380. the lanes are severely reduced because of a deadly crash that happened a couple of hours ago. chp is still on the scene. it's northbound 101. the backup is only to about the a

former wyoming republican congresswoman liz cheney and california senator elect adam schiff.he pardons will be worded broadly to cover any potential federal crime in recent years, similar to the pardon that was issued to hunter biden. >> some of the people who have been mentioned as as potential recipients of these pardons, like an adam schiff, the newly elected senator, said they don't want they don't want the pardon. and they would it would be sort of an admission, an admission of guilt. >> now, a democratic congressman is urging president biden to issue these blanket pardons because he worries the justice department, under a donald trump administration, will, quote, focus more on settling personal scores than on protecting the american people or upholding the rule of law. >> santa clara city councilmember anthony becker has been convicted of lying to a grand jury. the jury found he lied about leaking a confidential report to the 49ers days before it was to be released. the civil grand jury report concluded there was an unethical relationship between becker and the team. be
