frank figliuzzi, would you assume that doj ig is looking into the greg craig prosecution?o open a case if they don't have one open right now. and look, there may have to be cases reversed, decisions reversed here. there's legal liability. there will be lawsuits from this. this will go on for quite some time, but it is worthy of investigation, and this notion that there's some kind of evening out that takes place, my god, it's not -- you know, prosecutive decisions are not some baseball game on some child's rec league where we have to make things fair, you know, got to -- we have to give them a few runs. no. there's -- that's not how it works. there's nothing normal about this. i think people are going to be liable, because they're outside the scope of their employment when they do this kind of thing. i think, and hope, they will be sued. >> eddie glaude, i want to bring you in. we learned from mr. berman that john kerry was also targeted for investigation and prosecution by the trump justice department. this is what "the new york times" is reporting mr. berman writes. afte

closer look at this, justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian, sin thee ya oxny and frank figliuzzi. good morning, what else did the judge have to say in her order last night? >> judge aileen cannon was appointed by former president donald trump and she adopted trump's view of the case here. she said the justice department can't be trusted to say what documents are classified and what documents are properly included in the criminal investigation she has to appoint a special master to review all of that. she said, for example, the justice department hasn't shown any of the classified documents got into the wrong hands at mar-a-lago. the doj would say that's what they're investigating. that's why they need to use the documents to keep looking, but she's not allowing them to do that. she's saying that the doj must continue to hold these documents outside of its criminal investigation. she threw them a small bone in the sense they can use the documents for a national security damage assessment by the intelligence community and said the fbi can participate in that damage assessment. she

former senator and msnbc political analyst claire mccaskill is here, and frank figliuzzi, an msnbc national security analyst, and the former republican congressman david jolly joins us. he's also an msnbc political analyst. frank, here we go. so i saw the pictures and was horrified but not shocked. this is where we've been heading. you don't start with footsie and end up anywhere other than tangled up in the sheets together in bed, and that's where donald trump is right now with qa non. what does that mean for the qanon adherents in america? >> yeah, i saw it as well, and i was astonished by the messaging there. it's actually quite strategic and certainly nothing spontaneous or accidental about it. look, when you combine the characteristics of a cult with all the trappings of a religion, you've got a very volatile, dangerous scenario on your hands. i frequently refer to the maga movement as a form of cult, but clearly if you watch this a youngstown, ohio, rally and if you were to take trump out of the video. listen to at audio in the last moments of the rally and watch the crowd, that kind

frank figliuzzi, former fbi assistant director for counter intelligence, and barbara mcquade, veteransecutor and former u.s. attorney for the eastern district of michigan. she's now a professor at the university of michigan school of law. katie, you are our reporter on hand. walk us through the latest reporting from the times. over a dozen trump associates, getting subpoenaed this week. >> that's absolutely right. what we are seeing is the justice department's investigation into the u.s. attorney's office around washington, it's looking broadly at the january 6th attack. that investigation is just becoming more sprawling by the moment, and i think, there will be more types of people who are close to the former president. in this case, the questions swirl around, how was he using the money that was raised by his own super pac, in order to find his legal team, et cetera? people are really interested in not only the use of funds, where the money was going, but whether or not they use offense potentially brought up any kind of wrongdoing, or sort of insinuates whether or not there were ot

frank figliuzzi calls it a trump death count.e committee's opportunity to tie all of these threats and active threats because of trump's response. trump's continued delusions and mainlining to his supporters these subtle and not so subtle lies about still being the president, having the right to declassify and the work specifically in the scope of the 1/6 committee investigation. >> well, i trust that jackie has about the best sources around over there on the hill, if we're talking to getting to intent, i do think that it relates. and you can't just separate all of these things. donald trump's lack of respect for our institutions, for the rule of law, for what his obligations were as president, as it relates to the documents that he brought to mar-a-lago are quite similar to, or obviously, of a peace, really, with his lack of respect for the democratic since constitutiic i tried to undermine and going all the way back to when he got into the race. so, i think that's an important part of the story for the committee to tell. that p
