wow, former ag bill barr who led a lot of great people down by not investigating voter fraud. and our country his just endorsed me for president, despite the fact that i call him, called him week slow moving, lethargic, got less and lazy based on the fact that i greatly appreciate his wholehearted endorsement i am removing the word lethargic from my statement. thank you. >> bill. >> yeah classic trump what's the question what's your response my. respect. well, i mean, obviously, what i said was that i was very disappointed that this country is stuck with this choice between two people. i don't think either of them should be president of the united states. but given that binary choice, i feel i have to choose trump. >> but he's mocking you so it's not about me. i think that i've said this all along. if faced with a choice between two people there, which i think should be president, i feel it's my duty to pick the person who i think would do the least damage to the country. and i think trump would do less damage than biden. and i think get all this stuff about a threat to democr

and bill barr said he remembered him being irate. he didn't remember that specific call for executing him, but he said that it happened at other times where trump was was really angry, but it would die down on and no one took it seriously simply because it didn't happen. i mean, it's just remarkable to hear a top cabinet aid confirmed that, yes the president of the united states at that time did say things like that, right talks about it more and more than one executing and you could almost see during the interview, him sort of realizing, well clearly you're going to pursue this about like, well, what other cases are there and he clearly is started to kind of step back from that, but it seemed like it happened more than once. i mean, it just speaks to what was happening inside the white house and what that looked like and what became the norm. >> and then and it's it's remarkable feature itself. one thing there's a long list of courageous republicans going back to it, stopping joe mccarthy, going back to bury goal what i'm going to t

that defines where bill barr is coming from. >> and i tweeted about that because that's what bill barr cited, he talked about conservative things like clean energy regulations from the biden administration such as wanting to restrict gas stoves or electric vehicles. don't get me wrong, i don't agree with biden policies. i am a republican but to try to equate those things to something like the end of the constitutional republic, and my eyes, trump is selected, it's absurd. it is partisanship. i think i have said i will put my country over my party. i have never voted for a democrat, but if my choices are donald trump and joe biden, i have no choice but to support biden because i cannot support someone like trump. >> the threats to democracy is bigger than gas stoves taken away. let me ask you, mckay, you've written about this and you wrote a piece in the atlantic about what would happen with these enablers who would be in an administration. there was a quote that stuck out to me where you said, i think there will be a concerted, calculated effort to ensure that the people he puts in his

bill barr. it's very rare i read one of donald trump social media posts but tonight i feel inclined for he wrote wow, form ag bill barr who let a lot of great people down by not investigating voter fraud in our country, has just endorsed me for president despite the fact that i called him weak, slow-moving, lethargic, gutless and lazy. trump is actually right here, okay? he has said and done all those terrible things to bill barr. bill barr knows the danger that donald trump is to this country yet he endorsed him. can you explain to me why? >> i really can't understand it. you know, is he trying to make a buck? is he so insecure that he needs continued relevance? what bill barr came face-to- face with at the conclusion of the trump presidency was trump's authoritarian fascist nature and his absolute disregard for our democratic norms, values, and system, and nonetheless, still turns around and supports him, but forget about bill barr. what matters is all the other bill barr's out there in the re

bill barr knows that. i mean, it's it's frankly disgraceful that he's doing this about face now what you just mentioned there, you posted this last week and said that on an occasion where bill barr was present, you heard donald trump talk about suggesting executing a leaker, who from the white house we i brought that up with bar and this is what he said. but alyssa farah griffin, who was occasions stricter, posted yesterday and said that you are present at a moment when trump suggested executing the person who leaked information that he went to the white house bunker when those george floyd protests were happening outside the white house do you remember that i remember and being very mad about that, i actually don't remember him saying executing, but i wouldn't dispute it i mean, it doesn't sound the president would lose his temper and say things like that. >> taotie would have actually carried it out. i don't you know, but he would say that on other occasions you said the president had a i think people so

that was something bill barr cited in that interview. he talked about conservative things like clean energy regulations from the biden administration, such as wanting to restrict gas stoves or electric vehicles, things like that. i don't agree with biden policies on that. i'm a republican. but, at the end of the day, to try to equate those things to something like the end of our constitutional republic, in my eyes, if trump is elected in 2024, it is absurd. it is partisanship. i think that ultimately, i have said that i will put my country over my party. i've never voted for a democrat a date in my life. if my choices are donald trump and joe biden, i have no choice but to support biden because i cannot support someone like trump. >> the threats to democracy a good sunday threat of gas stove being taken away. mckay, you have written a lot about this and he wrote a piece earlier this year in "the atlantic," about what would happen with these enablers in an administration. there was a quote from hogan gately that stood out to me in this pi

again, i don't see how that applies to bill barr who is not running for anything. d like to see more reporting on what led him to this decision. >> me too. the policy doesn't exist in the loyalty is nonexistence. okay, bill. thank you for your time, it is great to see you as always. >>> russian state media is saying that marjorie taylor- green believes americans should help vladimir putin. that is a thing that is actually happening. we're going to explain, coming up next. so you can lighten every day the metamucil way. if you're living with hiv, imagine being good to go without daily hiv pills. good to go off the grid. good to go nonstop. with cabenuva, there's no pausing for daily hiv pills. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. just 6 times a year. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you're taking certain medicines which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-inj

and by the way, if you might recall bill barr. yeah, he's the one who criticize trump's actions on january 6 and even ask the former president does it mocked him on social media earlier this week saying in part, quote, bill barr has just endorsed me for president despite the fact that i called him week slow moving, lethargic got less and lazy based on the fact that i greatly appreciate his wholehearted endorsement. i am removing the word lethargic from my statement listen to what bill barr said the kaitlan collins i'm very disappointed that this country is stuck with this choice between two people. >> i don't think either of them should be president of the united states, but given that binary choice i feel i have to choose trump. >> but he's mocking you it's not about me. you said recently, which was that the conduct that was involved with donald trump, you said trying to subvert and prevent the progress, the execution of probably the most important process we have, which is the peaceful transfer of power after an election. name o

bill barr knows all of this. he has decided it's a binary choice, because in his world in order to stay relevant and viable he has to put party over country. literally. when he uses a phrase russian roulette, when he uses the term russian roulette he knows the danger he poses. he doesn't have to do this. look, what is extraordinary is the contrast between what bill barr is saying and what the former secretary of defense mike esper is saying. mike pence is saying i'm not going to endorse him. h there are exit ramps. you are not required to look at donald trump and say, okay, because i don't like student loan forgiveness i'm going to put a man who is clearly unhinged, who clearly try to overthrow the government, we could spend the next 10 minutes walking through all of the things, somebody who has been so found liable for rape, put them back in the low -- the oval office. i do think it's interesting the contrast between bill barr and much of the rest of the cabinet. we need to remind ourselves that never before in

bill barr, what is stopping you from saying? okay, you know what?t more worried about my bank account here. he can't say it. he can't admit the truth. they'll never tell the truth. those republicans that are so worried about democrat policies that are road the country are actually not worried about the social policies. they are worried about the fiscal because democrats want to give all our money way that's what's been ingrained in the republican mine when i was a young staffer on the hill that was a talking point. democrats want to take your money. they went to erode the american way for generations to come. and there's no reversing it unless you vote for the person within our next or their name. very simple. and that's what i heard right there. so for democrats though, they're working against, if they're, if, their plan as we're going to appeal to the thought that you couldn't possibly both for someone we're going to clutch the pearls, whether it's, whether it's the idea of an access hollywood tape or the idea of now the 88 plus convictions or sor

a quote from bill barr about donald trump. barr now says he will vote for the three-time loser. >> yeah, i think we forget that bill barr is a idealogical guy. he has a mean demeanor, and people have mistaken him for being centrist. he's not. if you read his book, memoir, as much as he is criticizing trump and the progressive left, he has very strong conservative views. i think this is, you know -- this is about partisanship, ultimately. in the end, people come home to their parties. they can tune out the clips you played and say, "well, that was then, and this is now. i'll go for my party over what i said before." you're right. bill barr is a striking example of this because there's probably no witness against trump who has been more powerful, in some ways, than bill barr, who testified before the january 6th committee that he told the president, then the president, president trump, that his claims of an election theft by joe biden were b.s. he used the full word. he made very clear that when former president trump, when then

bill barr., bill barr, not del mar, bill barr and we went through this basement here on the show. i think he was here twice former attorney general under trump, as conservative as it gets i mean, he's, you know, he's a mel gibson's dad, catholic but he also called him one of a small group who i call the good as it gets, republicans. >> this is what i'm trying to convince my liberal friends at half the country is not going to self-report. we have to learn to live together and people like bill barr, liz cheney, mitt romney mitch mcconnell, mike pence, they all full-throated. lee said biden won that election stop the nonsense. that's as good as it gets in the republican party you know. >> okay? >> however, now bill barr says he's voting for trump he said, i think it's my duty to pick the person i would do would think would do the least harm to the country. >> the real danger to democracy is the progressive agenda trump may be playing russian roulette but a continuation of biden is national suicide.

what do you think, bill barr?> i don't know if they're direct links because frankly this has gotten in the way of the federal governments cases. i don't know what the federal government's posture is towards this as the administration. there are a number of people in the law enforcement community are sympathetic to this case. i think this case is a stain on the criminal justice process. this is a case clearly of going after the man, not a crime. there is no crime here. there is no crime. hush money is not a crime. trying to protect your reputation is not a crime. entering into a non-disclosure agreement is not a crime even, even if you're running for office. there is no crime here. they're trying to manufacturing one, manufacture one and they're trying to hurt, interfere with the election. that is what this is. larry: you don't think, bill, i don't have a lot of time, you don't think this colangelo person from the number three job in the justice department now to being the lead prosecutor in this case, that doesn't

wow, former ag bill barr who led a lot of great people down by not investigating voter fraud. and our country has just endorsed me for president, despite the fact that i call him, called him week slow moving, lethargic, got less and lazy based on the fact that i greatly appreciate his wholehearted endorsement. i am removing the word lethargic from my statement. thank you.

he would have to ask bill barr why he would say what he has said now but i think it is wrong. jon: i would rather ask you. but thank you. can you please elaborate on how your message has been received outside of washington and the rest of the country? what resonates among ordinary voters who may be less open to your view? >> i spend a lot of time traveling around the country and speaking, i have speak -- spoken on a lot of college campuses and i have been really heartened by the extent to which people are engaged and they are understanding what is at stake and they want to know what they can do to make sure that donald trump does not get anywhere near the oval office again. i think it is interesting, one of the issues that i think is most important is the focus on what he was doing while the attacks was happening. the reason i think that is so important is because someone who would sit and watch that attack on television, who would refuse multiple please by his family and his senior staff to tell them to leave, someone who would be told that the vice president had been evacuat

when bill barr took over as trump's u.s. attorney in february 2019, six months after cohen's guilty plea, barr not only tried p to kill the ongoin investigations, but incredibly he suggested that michael cohen's conviction on campaign finance charges should be reversed. attorney general barr summoned by deputy, who was overseeing the w cohen case in late februa to challenge the basis of cohen's guilty plea as well as the reason behind pursuing similar campaign finance charges against other individuals. mr. khuzami was told to cease all investigative work ons the campaign finance allegations until main justice determined there was a legal basis for the campaign finance charges to which cohen pled guilty and until barr himself determined there was an sufficient federal interest in pursuing charges against others. the directive attorney general barr gave khuzami, which was amplified that same day was explicit. not a single investigative step could bele taken, not a single document in our possession could be oureviewed. and if m

taxpayers billions of dollars former attorney general bill barr testified this week. >> without china's production and export of fentanyl and fentanyl precursors there would be no fentanyl crisis in the united states. the mass slaughter would've effectively stopped. maria: 70% of drug poisoning the u.s. have caused by fentanyl. killing 77000 americans last year alone. 10 billion in taxpayer dollars is going to help combat the acriepidemic. all of that with videos like this coming out of the communist country last week treasury secretary janet yellen and ambassador to china laughing it up and whooping it up drinking beers at a brewery in beijing, joining us michigan congressman john molinari, the incoming chairman of the house select committee, the committee to publish the new report, thank you very much for being here this weekend. >> thank you for having me, good to be with you. maria: tell me more about what your committee has found out in terms of china's complicitous in giving tax breaks to the companies that produce fentanyl so long they keep it out of china. maria: four years that

when bill barr took over of trans attorney general, six months afterwards, barr not only tried to kill in litigations, but incredibly, he's adjusted that michael cohen's conviction on campaign finance charges should be reversed. attorney general barr, summoned by deputy rod pisani overseeing the cohen case in late february, to challenge the basis of cohen's guilty plea, as well as the reason behind pursuing similar campaign-finance charges against other individuals. he was told to cease all investigators work on the campaign-finance allegations, until maine justice determined that there was a legal basis for the campaign-finance charges, to which cohen pled guilty, and until barr himself determined there was a sufficient federal interest in pursuing charges against others. the directive attorney general barr gave, amplified that same day by a follow-up call was explicit. not a single investigators step could be taken, not a single document in our position possession could be reviewed. and of maine justice decided there was no legal basis for the charges? the attorney general of the uni

bill barr is doing the same thing.t the immunity argument that donald trump's lawyers are making that anything he does can be considered or a president does can be considered an official act, even if that means assassinating an opponent. let me play a little bit about what bill barr believes donald trump would not do if he were elected again. >> i remember him being very mad about that. i don't remember him saying executing, but i wouldn't dispute it, you know. the president would lose his temper and say things like that. i doubt he would have actually carried it out. that's my feeling having worked for him and seeing him in action. i don't think he would go kill political rivals and things like that. >> he says he would hear donald trump say, you know, have someone executed, more than once in the interview. he doesn't believe he would ever do that. from your experience with donald trump, it's obviously different from his experience, rational? >> what do we care about what bill barr says. what we care about is what the

>> bill barr is right and janet yellen is absolutely wrong. this is why the biden administration, when they call china a pacing challenge or a strategic competitor is so far off base and while we talked about china in terms as our number one threat and sinister, nefarious lethal adversary. in the case of the fentanyl, again, you need to understand, bill and dana, that 97% of the precursor chemicals necessary to produce fentanyl are produced in china. there is no alternative to the pre-cursor elements right now. it only takes place because of china. ask yourself, why are they producing chemicals illegal in china and having the chinese communist party subsidize companies to produce those? it is because they are exporting a destructive product primarily to the united states to their advantage. and so i think bill barr yesterday in his testimony called it mass murder. it is akin to shooting into a random crowd. you don't know who you will kill but you know someone will die. that's what the chinese government, the people's republic of china, is doi

bill barr did a tremendous job explaining how this is a groundbreaking report with new evidence. we need to act on that evidence. i believe this gives the biden administration leverage and it needs to be used. maria: overnight thursday, israel struck iran and a narrow limited attack with a high-stakes vote expected this week and not a foreign aid package for israel as well as separate funding bills for ukraine and the indo pacific. you're on the appropriation committee, what gets done and what are your thoughts on these bills? >> i think it's really important that these are national security bills and we need to support our allies. we cannot allow vladimir putin to win in ukraine. we cannot allow iran to continue to work towards the destruction of israel. we need to bolster our allies like taiwan and others in the region to deter aggression of china, we also have legislation that is forcing a required sale at the best rooster of tiktok from the parent company by dance which is influenced and basically run by the ccp so we have a number of issues and were also going to continue to

turns out to be bill barr?y to be shocked. he was there. he saw it. he knows donald trump lied. he knows what he tried to do with the election and yet he has convinced himself that it's a binary choice that apparently playing russian roulette with the american people is a good choice for him, but i think that one of the things that is -- it is notable is the way in which donald trump has managed to transform the republican party, how he keeps moving the line of acceptable behavior. they made a faustian bargain in 2016 because of all kinds of grievances, whatever. think about what -- the price tag of that bargain has gone up and up and up. what they have been willing to swallow and say, yeah, bill barr was a man, former attorney general, devoted his life, right, to conservative constitutional ideas and he's sitting back going, yeah, i am willing to support somebody who is facing multiple felony charges who i know is disconnected with reality, who tried to overthrow the government, all of those things, and i thin

from bill barr, a few minutes ago. >> i'm not happy with the choice. a terrible choice for the country, but it is a choice. at the end of the day, we have to select between two different individuals and i've said all along that i think it's my duty to pick the person i think will do the least harm to the country and i think that to me, that's clearly trump and republican administration. neil: of course, we know all the things he's said about donald trump, that he isn't fit to hold that office again, but obviously he feels that joe biden is even less so. how do you see that? because a number of republicans of his ilk aren't certainly reconciling that, tortured souls dealing with that. invariably to man and woman, not all of them, invariably for trump. >> publicly that's the case. and it's by this dilemma, if you will. millions of voters, i don't like the choice of the party i'm inclined to vote for. i don't like donald trump or i don't like joe biden, but the alternative is worse. this is an election we're not voting primarily for somebody, it's going t

plus, despite his past criticisms of donald trump, former attorney general bill barr now appears to be effectively endorsing him. those stories and a check on sports and the weather right when we come back. check on sports and the weather right when we come back. i don't want you to move. i'm gonna miss you so much. you realize we'll have internet waiting for us at the new place, right? oh, we know. we just like making a scene. transferring your services has never been easier. get connected on the day of your move with the xfinity app. can i sleep over at your new place? can katie sleep over tonight? sure, honey! this generation is so dramatic! move with xfinity. >>> for the second time in two weeks republicans in arizona's state legislature have rejected an attempt to repeal a near total abortion ban from 1864. that was initially upheld by the battleground state's supreme court. just two republicans joined every democrat in the house chamber on the vote to repeal the civil war era ban, but the fight's not over. additional action on the repeal could come in the next few weeks. meanwhil

after months of calling him unfit for office, trump's attorney general bill barr said he's voting for anyway and trump responded with as much grace as you would expect. >> so the former president posting on truth central that "wow, former attorney general bill barr has just endorsed me for president, despite the fact that i called him weak, slow-moving, lethargic, gutless, and lazy based on the fact that i greatly appreciate his wholehearted endorsement, i am removing the word lethargic from my statements. thank you, bill was quote.

here's bill barr today. >> given two bad choices i think it's my duty to pick the person i think wouldand in my mind i will vote the republican ticket. the real danger to democracy, as i say, is the progressive agenda. and while trump -- and i said trump may be playing russian roulette, but continuation of the biden administration is national suicide. >> bret: and we'll see if there are more, guy. but that's an interesting statement from bill barr. >> yeah and our colleague here marc thiessen a speech writer for president george w. bush he made a similar case on my radio show yesterday if you look at threat to institutions and democracy, the greater threat is on the left. he makes the case that if you look at the way they go after the supreme court. the filibuster and other things that they have in their sights that, would do a lot more damage and the big difference being when trump offers different affronts to the system, he is resisted aggressively often by the media and other institutions. when the left is attacking the system, often they have cheerleaders in the press corps. that's

that report that bill barr cited was done with democrats and republicans working together to dig deep try to figure out what we do next. i feel good that we are going to actually move based on this. >> bill: i hope you're right about this. here's one of the headlines in fentanyl production and here is more of how you can't trust mexico and you can't trust china. >> the chinese and the mexicans give us happy talk they are not cooperating. both complicit in trafficking in my opinion. we have to start getting much tougher. >> sandra: janet yellen was asked about this and she said there's an amount in the area of cooperation. i don't know if you took that argument back to illinois people would be convinced. >> i have not heard the cooperation yet, bill. for instance when we had hundreds and hundreds of names of people who have been indicted in the u.s. for drug trafficking who live in the people's republic of china, chinese authorities don't prosecute them. when we point to the hundreds of websites that basically you sell things like pr protoniazine whih is deadlier than fentanyl and we s

we watched the likes of bill barr who openly talk about the risk or threat to democracy and then theyaround and go i am going to vote for him. >> bill barr is one of those people reporting trump is singled out as wanting to prosecute that he will still vote for him. one of the key things i learned is how, you talk about the -- over the voting machines are all these things we ink about as being the allegations that spring up or get not down. they are not really what it is about. it is about a feeling or belief of who america is supposed to be for and what was supposed to happen. the key about purifying the party, there are totally right that the reason he failed was because of the few republicans that wouldn't go along with it and by the purpose of taking over was to root them out and make sure they wouldn't be there. >> that is the goal. so many of these candidates are losing in the elections. he is powerful within the party. he is a loser since 2016. >> it comes down to republicans. it is a game of inches. it can absolutely be decisive. these are the ones that don't identify as maga

and he had no legal basis for keeping them. >> he had no legal basis for keeping them, said bill barr's where we start today with some of our favorite reporters and friends, former u.s. attorney, former deputy assistant attorney harry lipman, and republican congressman msnbc political analyst david jolly is back and politico national correspondent and msnbc contributor betsy -- is here. harry lipman, i don't want to need a law degree to understand this answer so, tell me, in plain english, what jack smith can do. >> he can force her to rule, and if she doesn't bring a -- called a mandamus, the legal thing. >> see, we can't do it. >> okay, i'll do better. her rule -- her order was not only bizarre, but it was dangerous because it suggested she could totally, you know, sort of the judicial equivalent of the perfect crime, actually acquit him after trial had started. this is the most important filing jack smith has done since the indictment itself. it's very hard nose. it says we're done with this, i'm not going to follow your suggestion, and moreover, judge, you need to rule on this now

kwiferringly -- like bill barr. an interview where he's still going to vote for trump and ted cruz, they go after his father that he was involved in jfk -- where is your sense of manhood. and i don't know if it is not political to say and particularly if someone like bill barr, you're not getting another job anyway. don't you want to be on the right side of the history. >> explain it to me. >> i just think that these -- what we didn't realize is that there are a lot of weak people who were drawn to power. here is my psychological -- they're drawn to power, so they're weak, and when it emperor doesn't have any clothes on, you see who these people are. and liz cheney, a woman by the way. and mitt romney. and i don't know how they got to their loved ones, and they all have daughters and granddaughters and son and how they face them as men. i don't know how to put it any other way. just pathetic. >> it is. we do have enough evidence charlie and adam kinzinger said that all of the compelling witnesses in the january 6 in

bill barr knows all of this. it's dangerous.executing generals, they have no answer. >> it's everything. >> they go into this general ambiguity. i heard one pathetic supposedly, you know -- well, i heard one pathetic person in a position of power in the conservative movement, former senator, saying, you know, the student loan program, you'll hear that from some republicans. biden trying to forgive student loans, that was as bad as donald trump trying to subvert democracy. none of them believe it. they're all liars. and for them to say that student loan forgiveness is as bad as january the 6th, shows you how morally bankrupt this party and this political movement has become. >> what i don't understand -- excuse me, from a human level, mika, you brought this up time and time again, how do these guys face their grandchildren around children and next door neighbors and don't they understand how history is going to see them? bill barr, you're not getting another job in the trump administration. what's in it for you to not stand up an

bill barr. janet yellen says it's an area of cooperation. >> this is a bipartisan committee. members of both parties signed off on this report. i don't blame people for trying to cooperate with china and trying to negotiate. we did and i don't blame this administration for trying. it is clear they aren't acting in good faith. when they do something it's window dressing. they are knee deep in this. the question all along are they bystanders watching this traffic just don't want to interfere because we're the ones being hurt or are they active? it's clear from this report that they are knee deep in it. they are complicit in the trafficking and driving the trafficking. they are incentivizing the trafficking. >> dana: why do you think they're doing that >> a big part is strategic. that is, they believe this weakens the united states. it tells the world that we're a decadent society and disciplined society like china is the future. and it distracts us. and so if it's bad for us, it is good for them. >> bill: do you see any improvement between now and november? >> in the traffickin

. >>> meanwhile bill barr was pressed on friday about his support for trump in this year's race.s said he will vote for trump despite previously saying that the previous president should be nowhere near the oval office and trump mocking him on social media just last week. here's what barr's told cnn's kaitlan collins friday night. >> what you said recently, which was that, you know, the conduct that was involved with donald trump, you said trying to subvert and prevent the progress, the execution of probably the most important process we have, which is the peaceful transfer of power after an election. name one thing biden has done that's worse than that. >> his whole administration. >> is worse than subverting traipse fehr of power? >> did he succeed? only because mike pence stood in the way. >> look, i was very loud in saying i thought it was -- the whole episode was shameful and i'm very troubled by it. that's why it's not anness decision, but i then when you have a hobson's choice, you have to pick the lesser of two issues. >> you don't see this as a definition of putting part

you know how scary it is to think about bill barr doing this with ongoing investigations reportedly? with cases already pled to? with sentences that have already been recommended by the justice department after recommendation for him to just take apart the cases on trump's behalf because trump told him to? they were able to do some of that. they would very much like to do a lot more of that. which could up end any citizen's life in this country at the whim of donald trump. all right? we do not talk nearly enough about what trump succeeded in doing to the u.s. justice department as president. he ousted u.s. attorneys. he got investigations into himself and his attorneys out. he got the sentencing recommendation for roger stone reduced after stone's multiple convictions. he got the justice department to investigate democrats he didn't like even when there was zero case to be made. that is all worse than anything richard nixon ever did and he was pretty bad on that front. it is arguably the worst thing any modern president has ever done to the u.s. justice department. to the rule of law

. >> but i'm not going to look at it that way because this is bill barr's doj.ant to go back to the transcript. i think he got immune because he ted trump was well-known as the most eligible bachelor and dated the most beautiful women. that stinks. >> yeah, except we need to know -- you need to know at the time that this is done, this is southern district of new york, and they were building a case. and he's representing -- >> against who? >> well against michael cohen. and you could tell they were trying to build a case -- >> i guess i'm asking, could a twist of fate have given michael cohen limited immunity and pecker jail time? >> absolutely. >> but it is so interesting in hindsight. the relationship is deeper and longer with pecky and the killing of the stories that doesn't benefit pecker and cohen went to jail. >> and so this is where bromo witz represents david pecker and he's a good, well-known defense lawyer. about as good as you could get on the defense side. and sometimes you have something going, you know what, this is your time to go in and get immuni
