well, it tells me it's bad news for matt gaetz. here's why.filed. it's the fact that the federal prosecutors did not object to it. that tells me that the federal prosecutors believe that joel greenberg, who was referred to as matt gaetz's wingman in the past, that he has valuable evidence that the prosecutors think he will provide and that it shows that greenberg is still motivated to provide the evidence. and after all, matt gaetz is a lifeline for greenberg because greenberg is still facing up to life in prison. he pled guilty to child sex trafficking. so turning on the big fish here, a member of congress, could get him a sharply reduced sentence. >> gaetz, for his part, as we reported, denies all wrongdoing, and he's spoken about it in public. take a look. >> it is a horrible allegation, and it is a lie. i spent my entire career pursuing justice. i don't obstruct justice. the only thing i've obstructed is the injustice oftentimes at the hands of the department of justice. >> are you concerned you'll be indicted? >> no. >> what do you say to

congressman jim jordan and matt gaetz.annon's refusal to comply with the committee's subpoena. and both still refusing to admit that november's election was not stolen. >> in january, um, i ask you to say five simple words. the election was not stolen. and you were unwilling to say them, then. can you say those five words today? >> i have never said it was stolen, mr. chairman. i will give you the same answer. never said it was. i said we should investigate it. i said on january 6th when the electoral votes were counted that joe biden is president of the united states. and if you got a problem with that, i don't -- i don't understand it. the real question is why don't you guys want to investigate what happened? >> you said a lot of words just now but unfortunately, you are still unwilling to say those five words. >> your obsession with five words seems pretty ridiculous to me. >> here is the question i want to ask you. let's just start with basics. do you accept that joe biden won the 2020 presidential election? >> i accep

the gop once stood for the grand ole party but with characters like marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz among their number, maybe we should change the name to the ghoulish offender party. of course, greene and gaetz are only taking their cues from the leader of the party. the disgraced-former president, donald trump, who attended a world series game in atlanta last night. he's a native new yorker who now lives in florida. trump would seem to have no rooting interest in a contest between teams from houston and atlanta. but he wasted no time in joining in one of the braves' most controversial traditions, the tomahawk. widely considered derogatory and racist toward native americans but what else would you expect from a man so vile and corrupt that he was booted off facebook, twitter, instagram, and youtube? and since he's incapable of simple acts of self-reflection or learning, his next farce is his own social media platform where he can spread his big lie and continue his seditious poisoning of our democracy itself. the -- the best part of halloween is telling ghost stories, getting good

for the here and now, that makes up your rogue's gallery, rudy giuliani, marjorie taylor greene, matt gaetznews makers, take the headlines, five lines of verse summing up the atrocities. do you have a favorite? >> i have a couple of favorites. you're right, the book is a history that takes you from the deep past right up to the present and these come right near the end of the book. i call it limericks for the here and now, marjorie taylor greene is a fountain of hatred and spleen. when she opens her trap, her fanatical crap can shatter a video screen. and there you see her characterized. >> can i tell you, john, i wanted to read that one, but that one particular word, i thought, you know, fcc and all of that. >> oh. >> may i offer one that i love? that's a ted cruz one. this is one because there's a great word in there. ted cruz, that ladaceuos baboon is the maestro of inopportune. with his state in deep freeze, this titan of sleaze, took his family off to cancun. >> alex jones as a fiendish ability to monetize rank imbecility. the best is tricks to use politics to sell cures for diminished

turning the floor over to republican congressman jim jordan and matt gaetz.s cnn was first to report, the select committee has asked their phone records be preserved along with those of the former president in connection with the 6th. today, jordan who was questioned by committee chairman and has given conflicting accounts on this, couldn't recall how many times he spoke to the former president that day. >> i talked to him that day. i have been clear about that. i don't recall the number of times but it's not about me. i know you want to make it about that. >> joining us mou now, house select committee member, adam schiff. democrat of california author of midnight in washington and how we almost lost our democracy and still could. congressman schiff, what does it say to you these republican members of congress are basically saying it's okay to ignore a congressional subpoena? even -- even if you don't think steve bannon did anything, even if you don't think this whole thing should go forward, this is a lawful congressional subpoena. members of congress for th

does he do that when he hangs up with matt gaetz? i doubt it. they are dumbing down the audiences knowing full well not only will they not be held accountable but also if they're ever called into question, go back to saying it's entertainment -- >> it's the brown people and the tan people. we have to stop them, too. >> absolutely. he's -- protective services and if he's out with mr. gaetz and there are teenagers around, he should. >>> appreciate you-all. have a greed weekend. up next, request denied. president biden rejects the claim of executive privilege as the hinchmen learn they will not get away with the january 6th select committee. >> look what is happening in haiti. a tremendous problem with aids. many of those people will have aids and coming into the country. >> the former -- this great former president goes full racist on haitian migrants again. >>> jacob soboroff joins me with haiti. >>> they will never give you full membership so why are you beclowning yourself to get into the right wing circus? "the reidout" continues after this. c

prosecutors reportedly added to the justice department's investigation into florida congressman matt gaetzis former associate has actually been delayed because of how much information that he's been sharing with the feds. now, the fbi is involved, as i mentioned, in this investigation. if you're an agent on this case hearing all of this right now, do you think this kind of increases the chances that the congressman is in a whole heap of trouble? >> i think it definitely speaks to the scale of the investigation. so imagine you're prosecuting attorney, you're trying to go through a very large case. once that case scales up and you have multiple and different kinds of violations that you're investigating, that's when they tend to bring in specialists to look at individual parts of it. it's very difficult for one prosecuting group to maybe have all the skills they need to look at every type of case that might arise. so i think this sign -- this is a strong sign that the case is unfolding in ways that were probably unexpected at the beginning and they need to bring in one who understands the ev

. >> those protests from republican congressmen matt gaetz and jim jordan did not ultimately help theirs. attorney's office in washington, d.c. will make the final decision on whether the former trump aide will in fact be charged. let's talk more about this. joining me now politico national correspondent betsey woodruff swan. thank you, both, guys. joyce, i want to start with this one and ask you a question of timing now. what can we expect when it comes to the department of justice as to whether or not they're going to move forward with a prosecution of steve bannon? >> i don't think we can have a set time line, yasmin. the reality is this will be looked at through several layers of supervisors inside the d.c. u.s. attorney's office. presumably they'll consult with folks at main justice. they may for all we know have made up their minds and be on a quick time line. but this could also take a longer amount of time as they gather evidence and make some of the other considerations that the federal principles of prosecution ask them to make before they make a prosecutive decision here. >>
