let me follow up on cynthia's point.when you hear other witnesses like don junior, -- playing the i don't remember card, wow, all we need to do is look at what that lawyer, whiteout ethics lawyer, that want to find -- who is representing cassidy hutchinson, was telling her to do. it doesn't matter if you recall something, just say you don't, and you're gonna get away with the. that kind of exposes the ammo that was being run out of, at least a passed in teen office. so, people will say, wow, it's hard to prove somebody recall something, if they say they don't condone tell you if i don't recall was a perjury proof answer, i would have successfully prosecuted very few people over the years. it's not a perjury proof ounce. you investigate all the people around, the witness who claims not to recall, you know how many times that kind of investigation produces a witness who says, yeah that guy said he was going to the grand jury, and say that he didn't recall because he didn't want to give up his friend, his family, his crimin

and so others who are named cynthia, it was okay for them to be cindy. but i was cynthia.ent. but that wasn't okay. and that's just because people weren't familiar with it and they weren't trying to get familiar with it. but most of the people who i grew up with who looked like me, not all of them, but most of them named cynthia across the people don't to appreciate that. so i just finally said, you know what? when i came here, i gave up the shoes and the braids. i think i'm just going to have to put a stop to this and i was a sincere as i can be. i asked her to help me figure out how to turn down the promotion, and i wasn't even i wasn't even mad at her. i mean, i thought, okay, like, you've gone too far and i'm not, you know, i was that i was a vp already. i had risen high, higher than i ever thought i would rise in the corporation. so i was well beyond that director level that i came in on for our fasttrack program at a fabulous job, fabulous team, fabulous stakeholders. i was enjoying life, but i wanted to keep my vp job, okay? because, you know, my family is depending

amy: can you tell me more about cynthia white? she was another witness? apparently is in these boxes that were found in the das office and significance of the fact they were found, what, in 2019? >> they were found in january 2019. what we see is a string of documents wherein the lead prosecutor in the case, joe mcgill, is tracking what is happening to cynthia white's other cases. she was a sex worker and had over 36 violations pending against her. so she was facing upwards of 20 years in prison. he was consulting with other prosecutors, ensuring before they made any decision in said the a white's -- cynthia white's case, they consulted with him. there was clearly some kind of bargain made between cynthia white and the prosecutor joe mcgill that if she fingered mumia, she would get off and not have to serve time in prison. amy: i want to go to wendell griffen. we spoke to him last week. he is a division 5 judge of the sixth circuit of arkansas. he is retiring at the end of this year after almost a quarter of a century on the bench. this is what he had to

joining me now to discuss, is former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal animus, cynthia -- cynthia thankt's start with this giant decision the committee has to make on charges. judging from the committee's work so far, what charges if any do you think they would refer? >> i don't think ultimately they will refer. i don't think they need to. this guy jack smith is on top of that. he's moving very quickly, there is a pleading and then the very next day he's responding in the middle of a thanksgiving holiday. they kept a ruling from the court, the very next day you could put witnesses in the grand jury for ten hours. i don't think they need to unnecessarily pull it aside in their position. i don't think that's important are necessary. >> i agree with you. let the people know, cynthia. >> let's get into some news over the last couple of days. former white house cancel, but out cipollone, and his deputy patrick philbin. they were seen entering the courthouse area of the u.s. district court in washington, d.c., on friday where at least one grandeur he was meeting. an attorney for cipollone wit

cynthia, thank you for being here.t of this? >> well, thank you so much for having me. well, we started stop api hate when we started to see a rise in incidents, attacks, verbal harassment against community members. what we did know is that while we asked our government to track this data, we started stop aapi hate to understand the nature of the hate and discrimination and bias our communities are experiencing so that we could also address meaningful solutions. regrettably i'm not surprised by the latest reports on the rise against hate against our communities and other affected communities because it comports with our data and what we're seeing. and for us one of the things that i think is important to note is law enforcement often tracks incidents defined by law as a hate crime. and we do track all incidents of hate. and that's really important to understand in terms of solutions moving forward. >> let's talk a little bit about solutions. because it's tough, right? and moments ago my colleague, jacob associate off,

i had to be cindy or cynthia, because nobody knows what cynt. people had called me cindy, people just wouldn't call me cynt because they were used to it. that wasn't okay. it was because people aren't familiar with it has weren't trying to get familiar with it. most of the people i grew up with, not all of them but most of them named cynthia are called cynt but they don't appreciate that. when i came here, i gave up the red shoes and the braids. i think i'm going to have to put a stop to this. i was as sincere as i could be. i asked her to help me figure out how to turn down the promotion. i wasn't even mad at her. you've gone too far, i was a vp already, i had risen higher than i ever thought i would rise in the corporation, i was well beyond the director level that i came in, had a fabulous job, fabulous team, fabulous stakeholders, i was enjoying life but i wanted to keep my vp job. my family is depending on me, others are depending on me so i asked her to help me to figure out how to say no. i was giving up too much. she said she agreed with
