in the greg craig trial, though, it was ridiculous. this is an indictment that another federal prosecutor's office refused to bring because they said he didn't do it. they brought it in d.c. anyway. they held a 2 1/2 week long trial. the jury got the case at the end of the trial and instant verdict from the jury, number greg craig was immediately acquitted. there really was no case. en that is a problem. this is a bigger problem. this is the justice department has serious problem under the leadership of donald trump. and that is just the start. and, ook and this book arrives at important time. there are multiple investigation that's involve former president trump. "the new york times" is reporting and nbc news confirmed that at least 40 trump advisors and campaign staff were served with subpoenaed last week from a federal grand jury. at least two of them had cell phones seized by the fbi. 40 of them got subpoenas. we have to ask which of the criminal investigations gave arise to the 40 subpoenas. but in the middle of this, the current

in the greg craig trial, it was ridiculous. this was an indictment another prosecutor's office refused to bring because they said he didn't do it. they brought it in d.c. anyway. they held a 2 1/2-long week trial. the jury got the case at the end of the trial and instant verdict from the jury, no. craig was immediately acquitted. there really was no case. and this is a problem. right? this is not, oh, there was a problem with the greg craig prosecution. yes, there was. this is a bigger problem. this is the justice department had a serious problem under the presidency of donald trump. stuff that should not have happened happened. and the greg craig case that we now know about from geoffrey berman because of his book, that's just the start. and of course, this book arrives at sort of an important moment. if you step back for a second, think about what's going on, the justice department right now under president biden is under this hot, hot spotlight because of what we now know are multiple active federal investigations that invol

tell our viewers what happened with the greg craig case. >> so we're investigating greg craig and thereatement charges. and we determined that, you know, greg craig was completely innocent of the and that the false statement charges were just so weak that to bring an indictment would be inappropriate. so, the midterm election came and went. and then i declined the case. >> so means you call back to main doj and we looked at everything as you requested, there is nothing there, it is a very weak case, we're not going to prosecute. >> inappropriate to prosecute. >> and what happened. >> it should have ended there. when the southern district of new york, with the talent that we have, investigated thoroughly and determined there is not a case to bring, that is where it should have ended. but it didn't. they shopped the case to another district. and the district of columbia. and district of columbia indicted greg craig on false statements. >> did they look at different evidence than you did. >> they couldn't have looked at different evidence. we had thoroughly investigating the case. there wa

it's not, oh, a problem with the greg craig prosecution. there was. this was a bigger problem, right? this was the justice department had a serious problem under the presidency of donald trump, stuff that should not have happened, happened. and the greg craig case we know about from jeffrey berman because of his new book, that's just the start. of course, this book arrives at an important moment. if you step back and think about what's going, on the justice department right now under president biden is under this hot, hot spot like because of now what we know or multiple active federal assignations out involved former president trump, just tonight, the new york times reporting an nbc news confirmed 40 trump advisers and campaign staff were served with subpoenas last week from a federal grand jury. two of them had their cell phone seized by the fbi. 40 of them got subpoenas. we have to guess, like musical chairs style, which of e-money, many, many active federal investigations surrounding trump might have given rise to these 40 new subpoenas take a num

to indict greg craig, a democrat, before the midterm elections.two allies of the president, chris collins, who is a republican congressman from upstate new york, and michael cohen, the president's, lawyer, and fixer and it's time for you guys to even things out and indict a democrat before the midterm election. >> you talk about a justice department official, edward o' callahan. he says this is false. >> well, it absolutely happened. my deputy was on the phone with him when i was told you have to even things out. he immediately came into my office, told me about the conversation. my jaw dropped. and i immediately grabbed my deputy audrey strauss and brought her into the room. my deputy repeated the conversation and she nearly hit the ceiling. it was something we never heard or seen before. >> you refuse to indict him. greg craig was indicted and went to the washington district, u.s. attorney's office. eventually he came to trial and was acquitted, i think, within five hours. vindication? >> it was vindication, but the case should never have been b

pressure berman's office to prosecute two trump targets, former secretary of state john kerry and greg craig, a white house counsel under president barack obama. craig is one of washington's most powerful democratic lawyers, and trump wanted him to go down. remember, nothing is more triggering for trump than someone or something that's attached to the name obama. and so, the pressure to prosecute craig came in september of 2018. two months before the november midterms. when a department official called berman's deputy earlier today, berman told my friend and colleague, the great nicolle wallace, what the official said. >> we want you to indict greg craig before the midterm elections. the person said, hey, you know, you have just indicted two major allies of the president. chris collins, a republican congressman from upstate new york, and michael cohen, had the president's lawyer and fixer, and it's time to even things out by indicting a democrat before the midterms. >> berman's office refused to even things out and said they believed craig was innocent. it should have ended there. but instea

just because jeff berman refused to prosecute greg craig, he still gets prosecuted.ry didn't get prosecuted but he was investigated. are those the sort of things that you think a round of accountable is still called for? >> yeah. there needs to be consequences, and that would be fodder for and a predication we just in our discussion we've established predication to open at least a preliminary inquiry, if not greater. and look, in the last couple of days, on the far-right media platforms, you've seen this allegation that president biden must have ordered the fbi search warrant at mar-a-lago. he must have. well, it's not just disinformation. it's also this mindset that michael speaks of, this kind of imperial presidency mindset of, well, that's how we would have done it. we would have ordered a search warrant on someone who we don't like. so, biden must have done it. that's the operating methodology here, and it needs to be investigated. >> that's so interesting. i mean, it sort of gets back to where we started with the politics of projection. some of what he says we n

so to say to go after greg craig puts you on the edge of something that is pretty dark? >> that is the fundamental truth here and the main point looks like jeff berman tough and other people talking about how this is an unwritten rule at the department of justice, because the department of justice is part of the executive branch. so the president has the power to dictate what they can and cannot do, and in times of general policy, we should prosecute drugs more or less, that is fine. but when it comes to saying we are going to prosecute democrats but not republicans, that actually is antithetical to living in a country where there is a rule of law. and that is a norm, it is not written into the constitution. as you pointed out, jeff sessions of all people who was so loyal to donald trump, he was asked precisely because he adhered to that norm when bill barr was willing to throw it to the wind. >> there is an example here which i thought was a small one but illustrative about the michael cohen charging document. it was changed to remove references to the idea that trump b

bill barr and his folks would send a referral you should prosecute this person, john kerry and the greg craige they tried to interfere it goes against everything that the justice department should be. i think the damage to the integrity of doj from this is we're still feeling it today. >> certainly alarming. jen roger, thank you. >>> the largest nursing strike in american history started today. thousands of nurses walked out. we'll explain where and why. >>> we continue to follow the scenes out of scotland where long lines of people are paying their respects to the late queen elizabeth. stay with us. on of the senses. so when you finally taste it, it just confirms... this. is. fantastic. and ononly at panera. $0 delivery fee for a limited time. welcome to allstate where anyone who bundles their home and auto insurance saves. isn't that right phil? sorry, i'm a little busy. what in the world are you doing? i'm in the metaverse, bundling my home and auto insurance. why don't you just do that in the real world? um, because now i can bundle in space. watch this. i still don't get it. save up to 2

but what he describes in kerry and he describes about in greg craig appeared to be the justice department trying to proactively go out and use its power to target the president's rivals, which is a different type of politicization and abuse of the justice department than simply trying to fire robert mueller, trying to throw people into the gears of an investigation. what this book does is it basically says that, yes, public, you were worried about this, it was worse than you thought it was, and here's how it unfolded in dramatic fashion. >> it was worse than you thought it was. charlie, can we go back to the mar-a-lago papers? we're sort of playing in a spaghetti loop with all of the different investigations at the moment. i don't quite see why trump asking the doj not to be allowed to review these papers or the fbi not to be allowed to review these papers would have any material impact because we knew there were weeks they had already presumably reviewed the papers. >> that's right. it's not just that they can't read them a second time, it's that they are forbidden from using the papers

greg craig's two-week trial with a not guilty verdict.el susman who's perceived to be an enemy of trump. acquittal. it's staggering the department of justice and these folks but for jeffrey berman allowed themselves to be use in the such a crass partisan way where not just people's liberties were at stake, physically their liberty. their imprisonment potentially was at stake here, and that just is something that's deeply, deeply troubling and really concerning to see the confirmation coming out now is beyond belief for me. >> it's beyond the pale. i've read the book. i'm under an embargo until tomorrow when jeffrey berman is here. but he goes so deep, and we have the time to go deep with him. it goes beyond the desire to prosecute craig and kerry. it goes into the perversion of u.s. policy. it is for me one of the most stunning blockbuster takedowns of the corruption at the highest levels of the justice department. barbara mcquade, pete struck, thank you for for spending time with us today. quick breaker if us. we'll be right back. we'll

attorney for southern district and to demand that greg craig, a prominent democrat, a lawyer, be prosecutedys, that he refused and then was basically forced out but hung on just long enough to make sure that his deputy, who could not be pressured, would replace him. and then, of course, he was prosecuted by a more willing u.s. attorney in the district of columbia and was then very quickly acquitted by a jury, but with great personal loss. he lost his position in his law firm and how does he get his reputation back? how unusual to have these allegations of meddling from the attorney general of the united states, both in favor of allies and against perceived opponents? >> andrea, the allegations are absolutely unprecedented. it's important to keep an open mind. it's good for the senate to embark on this investigation, because we do need to know the truth. we're only hearing one side here. so investigation is appropriate. but if berman's tales are true, they are very serious. no attorney general can afford to instruct u.s. attorneys or anyone else to even the score, to prosecute one democrat f

prominent democrat, and also that there was an interest in having an investigation of a lawyer, greg craig who served under the obama administration, ultimately not charged in the office that berman ran but then in d.c. and then was acquitted by a jury. berman clearly had a lot of disagreements with the justice department, what he's saying has gotten the senate judiciary committee interested. the chair there, dick durbin, is now asking the justice department for information about this period of time and these episodes. >> jen, you worked in the very same office as berman. what's your reaction to this? >> it's outrageous. i have to say it's so upsetting for someone who worked there to see that this pressure was coming on what sdi was trying to do. we know what trump was doing and allowing mike flynn and the roger stone interventions, but we didn't know until geoff berman started speaking publicly about the pressure put on sdny. it goes against everything you're taught doj is supposed to be. i'm so glad the senate is looking into this. i hope they can find a way to try to put some requiremen

asked to create a case on this fellow greg craig who was in the obama administration.ncluded the guy was innocent. what did donald trump do and his justice department do? took it down to the district of columbia u.s. attorney's office and indicted on it, and of course what happened was just as jeff berman had decided, this guy was acquitted, you know, in a few hours. i mean, there was no case there. i mean, all of it, if you had to compare it to anything in watergate, it was like how the nixon administration tried to use the internal revenue service to go after his enemies after larry o'brien, a bunch of democrats, and kind of like jeffrey berman, what was interesting was it was the people there, the civil servants, the people who had the ability to say, no, i'm not going to do it or somehow avoided doing it, just like jeff berman describes how he did it, that they were able to basically put it off. >> right, and so there's -- it's bittersweet. it's a lot of problems how much trump pushed, and it tells you the plan if they got back in office as far as lawyers are conce

shalomyah bowers >> harold: craig, you had a reaction to that. >> greg: when you live in a bubble you up with that this morning. whether you are left or right when you are in a bubble he will always be surprised by your own curated ignorance and that's what happened to sonny. you would think somebody with a made up name like sonny would be able to see around the corner when she criticizes nikki for having what she thought was a made up name which is not. when you live outside a bubble you'd be aware that you can actually see the second step. but the problem with the view was that they are an entry-level version of awareness. they can't because they're in a bubble within a bubble so she was totally surprised and she's like well your name is sunny and she's like that's different. nobody can pronounce my name. it's like now, you should have seen that coming but you can't because you live in a bubble. you can't see around the corners because you are trapped. it's so funny that her name is sonny. she has sonny is death row. i would advise the viewer to find a smart conservative for their c

we're gonna go straight away to greg few gate, he is a former fema administrator. craigk you so much for joining us, you've been watching the coverage. junior also in florida as i understand, experiencing this as well. it is now downgraded in, to a category one. how do even begin to assess the damage? >> well, again, when light comes up they're gonna go to the areas that got the worst flooding from the storm surge. and we'll start working from their. they got teams that are already moving out tonight by first light the start to getting the drones up, get the aircraft out, people be on the ground. and that will start giving us a sense of what's been devastated. but we still get a storm going through the state, we're gonna have more power outages, more trees down, and we've got more potential as you are right now seeing, extremely heavy rainfall, and that is forecasted to produced potentially life-threatening flooding across central floating in the north parts. this storm is not over. the wind is coming down. the rain threat has not decreased. >> yeah, the ground is satura

craig, set us straight. is this crisis greeted by the governor of arizona and texas? >> gregus point if the republicans running the site is the way the dems are with this hypocrisy, they would be branded cruel and humane. because the republicans are running the cities the way the crime is, homelessness, drug addiction they would be cool and humane. but they get a pass by the media on this and other sanctuary cities are the worst false advertising. they could brag about compassion without actually following through. they are what i call the stolen valor in the compassion world. and it is about time they get found out what texas did was turn sanctuary cities into border towns, which are authentic sanctuary cities because the border towns operate that way for people coming in. now, they are actually -- she should be thanking texas. thank you for not making me a hypocrite. now i'm truly sanctuary city. what an idiot she is. >> sean: dana, you have small number of migrants coming into the liberal cities and losing their minds, melting down where arizona and texas are absolutely fl
