frank figliuzzi, what jumps out at you from this briefing?and the governor's office will need to coordinate tightly with the local authorities in terms of statements and release of facts, but acting alone, that's a quick -- that's a quick conclusion to that, and so why do we know that so early? maybe they've already looked at history. maybe they've already seen videotape. maybe they've already talked to parents, and maybe, just maybe, and this is something that no law enforcement agency ever wants, but they're checking their records, their files, their indexes, and maybe someone's encountered him before, and maybe he's acted out or threatened before. so we have a fairly quick conclusion that he was acting alone here. >> john heilemann, i want to bring you into this coverage. i can't stop thinking about president barack obama's efforts after newtown. he was the country's president during newtown. we just got an update from the white house, from the new white house press secretary, who tweets that president biden has been briefed on the horrifi

and frank figliuzzi who served as fbi director of counter intelligence. he's an msnbc national security analyst. jim, you need to explain something to us. this active shooter versus barricaded subject, that's the call of the unseen commander made that caused the delay in police breaching the door. i mean, how big of a mistake was this? am i wrong in thinking that this was beyond, look at this big doesn't describe this mistake? >> i agree with you. i think it's a huge mistake in time, and entering the room. i think people get the semantics mixed up. they confuse active shooter training and hostage barricade issues. let me try to clear it up a little bit. it's an active shooter situation. the training is, you move quickly, within the first, long guns, to move toward the shortage eliminated him. which was the initial delays there, one into the breach points which the doors are locked in the classroom, that it's a problem across america that patrol officers, jonathan, or not caring breaching tools. that's another issue. but it's prevalent everywhere. they don

also joining us, former fbi assistant director frank figliuzzi. n making sense of this since it was under way. frank, i have to start with what we already played with this admission, really, of the wrong decisions being made by police on the scene. how do you hear that? >> nicole, we seldom disagree on issues, but you just used the phrase making sense, and then laid out an expectation that somehow i might do that. i can't. i can't. >> yeah. fair. >> i can't make sense of this in any way, shape or form. it goes against all of our training, all of our instinks. i was hoping and i have to tell you and maybe people will accuse me of a law enforcement bias and i was hoping that there was something that would show us that there were legitimate reasons for what happened, but there are none. this boils down to a decision by an on-scene commander, and i want to talk about that also because the on-scene commander here was allegedly the isd, the school chief of police. let's put this in perspective. he or she commands six officers total. period. that's it. th

frank figliuzzi, let me start with you on the evidence.ch we know because of the evidence in a the committee has to present and the various court filings, whether to enforce their subpoenas for emails or records or what not. but we know that they know a lot about the five members that were subpoenaed today and it falls into the prongs of the fake electors plot and aforeknowledge of violent. i think mo brooks was asked to participate in reinstalling donald trump as someone's president and kevin mccarthy has such an expansive view of donald trump's criminality that he said i don't want to talk about the p-word, pardon. and toward the assumption of the office of the presidency in no uncertain terms. it is not if, it is when. tell me the significance of today's subpoenas and what this committee want is their testimony. >> yeah, so it is hard to actually not -- not overemphasize or underemphasize the gravity or the gravity of today's decision. this has to go all the way up. there is separate reporting that i'm hearing in the last hour that repo

they've already spoken on this. >> frank figliuzzi, pointing us toward something, again, democrats havegnize that on, whether it comes to this issue or comes to the way republicans have handled the january 6th insurrection, there are two big flashing issues where republicans can be portrayed as anti-law enforcement. frank, thanks for being on. you've been great throughout this whole thing, melissa murray, and matthew doud, great to see you today. >>> one of donald trump's top aides has been hit twice with -- subpoenas related to his role in the january 6th attack, one from the select committee and now one from the u.s. department of justice. today he is suing to try to block them both. the very latest on all of that is next. it's a storm that crashes, and consumes, replacing thought with worry. but one thing can calm uncertainty. an answer. uncovered through exploration, teamwork, and innovation. an answer that leads to even more answers. mayo clinic. you know where to go. my a1c stayed here, it needed to be here. mayo clinic. ruby's a1c is down with rybelsus®. my a1c wasn't at goal, no

investigative reporter for the austin statesman and former fbi countered the fence intelligence, frank figliuzziand nbc nbc analyst and author. tony, tell us about the explanation the officers offered for the hour-long delay in breaching the door. >> and law enforcement official officially said that this was a bad call, that the commander on scene who was the chief of police for uvalde this derek treated this like a barricade suspect, someone who was holed up in a building instead of an active shooter. apparently at that time, authorities were trying to assemble and stand up a swat team to go in and take the shooter down. possibly, even have a sore undergo she asian with them. when, in fact, we now know that during that time, students themselves, as well as teachers, we're calling 9-1-1 asking that the police come in and save them. >> frank, msnbc has learned that the chief has attended an active shooting trading as recently as december. it is a question of protocol or training, will go through your mind as all this begins to service? >> there are many unanswered questions still because what we
