so berger this goes back to the judge's reasoning that you were just mentioning i mean take us through how political this case has been. well what we've just had is an is an example so julian assange has supporters arguing that the u.k. should have never considered extraditing him to the us because for them for reporters without borders for amnesty international human rights watch and many other rights groups he's a journalist and what he has done is in the public interest and that they're fearing if there is if there is still a risk of extradition for people like him that could be in the words of reporters without borders have chilling effect on press freedom and on journalism across the world so they are thinking that this verdict today is basically for the wrong reasons and that might not protect future whistleblowers of future journalists who would who would publish material that they argue is in the public interest in coming back to julian assange what happens next for him. well we're we're waiting because there is a decision to be made whether he could be released on bail we don'

and i did think about their viewpoint, but i realized for myself that paul berger's statements, that what prosecutors do is seek justice, had to be my guiding light as a prosecutor. those who are guilty should be prosecuted and treated fairly under the law. and in accordance with the rules of law. and that those who are not guilty, i had to work as hard to prove them not guilty. so i was a prosecutor that had one of the highest records in my office for top count convictions. instead of plea-bargaining down, i would go to trial and prove those people guilty. but i also had a high number of dismissal of cases where i thought the proof was inadequate to prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. i describe some of those situations in my book. there's a misunderstanding about the role of lawyers in the judicial system. we are not favoring one side or another when you become a prosecutor or defense attorney. both prosecutors and defense attorneys are serving justice. we are both doing our job. the prosecutor represents the people of the state, the defense attorney represents th

it cannot be overstated, the president is asking brad halves berger point-blank to manipulate votes and subvert the election. listen. >> you're not allow to do gift faulty election results. you're not allowed to do that. this is what you have down. this is a faulty election result. honestly this should go very fast. you should meet tomorrow. you have a big election coming up. because of what you have done to the president, you know, the people of georgia know this was a scam. because of what you have done to the president, a lot of people aren't going out to vote. a lot of republicans will vote negative, because they hate what you did to the president. >> this breaking news happening just as the 117th congress is being sworn in today. a live look right now on capitol hill, where house of representatives members are in session right now. for the latest, let's bring in phil mattingly. phil, this swearing-in taking place, a vote for the, you know, house speaker nancy pelosi to return to her post, all of this taking place, and then really upstaging it all is this recording of the president

jason crow, abigail spam berger, others were calling home, calling their families, text, "i'm okay," "don't worry about me," you know, i know what you're seeing but we're okay. and just trying to just make sure that everyone could just stay calm and stay safe together. >> i know i certainly appreciated the many texts i got, and i'm sure that you got, haley, from your family who were worried about you as we were reporting what you were seeing on the house floor. egor, what happens next here? you cover the capitol every day. we see each other in the hallways. the republican party just -- i mean, they are saying that they're splintering in two is not even -- it's just not a strong enough way to put it. i mean, what we saw is just -- i'm honestly at a loss for words. and there have been many of republicans who have stood up and said that this was completely unacceptable, we're going to move forward, we're not going to entertain any of this. but how do they move forward from this? >> i mean, that's the biggest question in washington right now. and the scariest question. i mean, we have 14

abigail spans berger out of virginia, your far left social. lost us seats in the house.ublicans gained seats in the house. 50-50 in the senate. they have state legislatures. finish your thought, i hear what you're saying. >> famous call with number of democrats and nancy pelosi and abigail spanberger was very up set with the progressives. i would point out by the way, joe biden sent all of one bill to congress right now. it is not unusual. only his first full day but he took the trouble to send one bill to congress and that is a comprehensive immigration reform package to create a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants in the country illegally. that is a huge, huge, issue with the democratic base, from progressive activists, the squad, all the way to tech billionaires. that is big thing for them. elizabeth: stay focused. we got it. every american needs vaccinated period. vaccinated period, that's it. by the way fdr a had 76 laws enacted in the first 100 days. 53 truman. guess who is third, you can hear him talking. ahead of jfk in the first 100 days with laws

except on a question from dan berger who asked whether the market model of self governments and democracy directly in the adjacent classical or 18th century. so could you give us a sense of the distinction between enlightenment. thomas: . [inaudible]. [inaudible]. [inaudible]. he talked about washington a lot. he's not really close anybody. the closeness the emotional closeness to people. and he said no, i think that he could be essentials anybody else freedom that if you drink with him and have had a grand time. and hamilton also is considered a concern piercer and stir up of things. hamiltons and i will tell you what. next time you see washington go up in slap them on the shoulders. see what happens. he said okay and hamilton said if you do that i will buy dinner for you and me and ten people you pick. so he doesn't and he walks company stocks among the children washington takes the hand off his shoulders steps back. for full minute and then he leaves the room. and morris says at that blind field dinner with hamilton, is not worth it. it will never do that again even for another dinner.

reference berger has admitted to recording and making the call.rk move brad present abc asked if the president's demands from the level, watch. suspected you consider a lawful request of the present acid find the votes? >> i am not a lawyer. all he knows we are going to follow the law, filed the processed truth matters we been fighting these rumors for the last two months. survey. kennedy: i'm going to use that line, every question anyone asks them to say i'm not a lawyer. so it was this another perfect phone call for the president? or was this a nether perfect phone call for the president? let's get back into it with tonight's party panel, chris barron, captive, and marie hearth. maria going to start with you. how bad is this in your estimation? >> i think it is the clearest abuse of power that donald trump has had as president. if you were not about to leave office it is clearly, clearly an impeachable offense. asking a republican election official to overturn an electio election, to find votes that do not exist somehow. and when brad, i will no

that michael bar barrio did around an interview ( because the president had tried to get ag soels berger to meet with him off the record and he wouldn't. but if you want to understand the role the times plays in trump's mind, it's a worthwhile listen. >> what will you remember? what will you tell your hopefully some day grand kids about this experience covering trump? >> i need a little distance from it. >> do you? >> what would stand out to me, the lack of sleep would probably be a part of it. i will say this is a very minor point, but just the constant sense of something is about to happen, which he created with the twitter feed. but also because of the firings and the, you know, sort of calamitous policy decisions and the back and forth on things. you know, i think that's -- i think that what stands out to me is there was just this constant sense of incoming. >> yeah. >> i will probably have something more profound to say down the road. >> save it for the book. i know you are working on a book. all week long i heard the media is obsessed with trump, that we can't quit him, that we don

michael asks you to address the effects of the enlightenment and that picks up on the question from dan berger who asks whether the model directly or originates in classical or 18th century enlightenment and if you could tell that story and about the enlightenment and classical influences. >> as professor winterer says on the screen there's no way i would answerthat question . if he and hamilton were having an argument about washington, they talk about washington a lot . and hamilton said he's not really close to anybody. he doesn't like physical closeness or emotional closeness to people and more said no, i said he could be as social as anybody else, i've had a few drinks with him and hamilton always a manipulator and a conspirator, he would stir up things, hamilton said tell you what, next time you see washington, go up and clapped him on the shoulder. see what happens. and more says okay, hamilton says if you do that, i will buy dinner for you and any women you pick filled with good wines. so morris does it, he sees washington, maximum shoulder, washington lives the hand off the shoulder, s
