yesterday, former attorney general under president barack obama, eric holder, who will be live on at with my colleague lawrence o'donnell, was actually asked about the department of justice's apparent silence, on whether it will go after trump in some way. and holder changed course, and said that the ex president, in fact, should be held accountable. >> i have great faith in america and the people of the justice department. we don't really know how aggressively they've been until they are before a camera, announcing a decision even to indict certain people. or will not indict certain people. at some point, people at the justice department, perhaps the prosecutor in atlanta, are gonna have to make a determination about whether or not they want to indict donald trump. >> which they are doing? >> i think there's gonna be sufficient factual information, and i think there's gonna be sufficient proof of intent. and then, the question becomes what's the impact of such an indictment? i am institutionalist. my initial thought was not to indict the former president, over concerns how divisive i

because eric holder used the "i" word. he says he's an institutionalist, and he was sending a message to the decider, that's the attorney general of the united states merrick garland, who is famously also an institutionalist. but listen, eric holder is one of the longest serving attornies general in the history of the united states, and what he was saying was that the values of the justice department require that donald trump be held accountable. i get the institutional concerns. again, everyone is concerned about not having merrick garland look like he is willing to do for president biden what bill barr was not willing to do for donald trump. but we've got so much. we're way beyond the political considerations. at this point, equal justice under the law, accountability, all of the values of the united states department of justice i was proud to serve in way in favor of prosecuting donald trump. >> paul, i'm going follow up on this -- who are these institutionalists? who are these people who think -- seriously! who think t

you were involved in the contempt proceeding of eric holder, how people were expected to comply withdifferent now? >> well, we have seen our politics changed drastically, donald trump fundamentally transformed american politics. congress usually believes its own. meaning, what it asked for, it gets. and now with subpoenaing members of congress, we'll see what happens with that and typically that only happens when there is an ethics investigation. congress does not like to penalize or really do anything to its own members unless they really egregious lly violated ethics rules. i have been so impressed of how this committee not had any league how they move forward as a team but you don't often see. the mistakes republicans made and not ensuring either it was independent commission or more republican members on it. if these members say no, what is congress prepared to do and i was on capitol hill today, and really the conversation was that the members of the committee don't really know yet. there are still discussions within the committee of what happens if these members one or all of t

lincoln douglass debates, there is a great compendium of lincoln douglass debates by historian eric holder. but he includes the heckling that took place, people yell things out, and sometimes it would launch, you know discussion between the two of them. that kind of heckling is fine for me. the kind that i think was on one of the tapes where people are actually trying to shut people up, and shut down the event. that strikes me as not within the spirit of the first amendment, much less something like we saw in january six, which was the ultimate act of, the ultimate act of censorship. the ultimate x expression of cancel culture was what took place on january 6th, where 900 people entered this building unlawfully, evading the metal detectors, evading the officers, actually wounding and injuring 160 of our officers, smashing them in the face with baseball bats and american flags and confederate battle flags and so on. that, to me was that essence of cancel culture. they were trying to cancel out our whole democracy on that day. they were trying to cancel out the whole constitution, so i was n

that point about every level, michelle, i want you to take a listen to former attorney general eric holder speaking to the erosion of reproductive rights speaking this week on msnbc. >> if you think about all the furor we've seen, legitimate concern about how roe v. wade might be overturned, and think about the fact that that come from cases being considered from the supreme court that came from gerrymandered supreme court legislators. or even the most conservative states, people do not want to see roe v. wade overturned. and yet, becase you've got these partisan and racial gerrymandered legislatures there, they can pass bills, these anti-choice bills, inconsistent with the desires of the people. and yet, the people who passed these bills, the legislators that pass these bills faced no political consequences. >> it's easy to talk about any of these things in silos. it's easy to talk about abortion over here and voting rights over here, but it's all entangled. >> these are all interconnected. this is the same supreme court that dismantled key provisions of the voting rights act of 1965. som
