anybody telling you they know for sure either doesn't really know for their work for merrick garland, which they shouldn't be talking to you about this. but i'll just finish with this, with two things to know about the justice department under merrick garland making the decision to appeal this judge's ruling, to try to continue to keep secret the document that trump's justice department prepared about whether or not to charge him with criminal obstruction of justice. the first thing to know about the justice department now appealing the judge's ruling and fighting to keep this document secret, the first thing to know about it is that the brief filed here, the reasoning explained by merrick garland's justice department is humiliating. it's abject and humiliating. throughout the brief filed with the court late last night, the justice department, the current justice department is just crawling and scraping about how they didn't mean what they said and how sorry they are, that it looked the way that the judge thought it looked but they didn't mean it to look that way, and now in retrospec

today the new attorney general under president biden former federal judge merrick garland appeared at his first congressional oversight hearing since being sworn in as the nation's attorney general. and he made pretty big headlines with his testimony, letting congress know that the justice department under attorney general merrick garland will be seeking considerably more funding to up its capacity, specifically on civil rights enforcement and on fighting domestic violent extremism, for the department's key role in enforcing the violence against women act, he's asking for a landmark $1 billion for the office of violence against women. republicans appeared to be horrified by his testimony, by the idea that the justice department will try to fully fund its work on civil rights and violence against women and domestic terrorism and extremism, which, of course, the fbi says is predominantly a white supremacist threat. the republicans hearing merrick garland's testimony today were really not into it, as you might imagine. but, you know, like i said, under new management! elections have cons

this is the justice department now, under merrick garland as attorney general, bending over backwards like this to try to make it seem like the justice department under trump was acting in good faith and doing their best, and all the false and disingenuous things told the court about former president trump's liability to potential criminal prosecution. the false and disingenuous things they told not just the public, but also the court. it should all be forgiven. because we're so sure that they didn't mean it to be as bad as it seems. i can see the justice department under bill barr, the trump justice department making these kinds of representations about themselves and their own bad behavior here but why is it that the karlyn justice department trying to make this go away? trying to clean this up. we didn't really mean it. does it seem like we lied? we didn't mean to lie. we recognize it kind of looks like a lie but look at, us we would never lie. that's one thing to know about it. the other thing to know about it or at least ask about is however this resolves with the justice departm

why should merrick garland have anything to do with defending, supporting or apologizing for or goingll barr's obstructionism and dishonesty? it would have been a much better opportunity for merrick garland to say, no, we're drawing a line here, we're not doing things the old-fashioned way and we're not okay with this disingenuousness by the prior administration. >> we have new details about what federal prosecutors seized when they raised rudy giuliani's home. and it includes documents from a wider array of people than we previously knew. what are you learning? >> yeah, so it's fascinating, ana, if you look at the court filing, there's a lawyer from lev parens who claims in a court filing that the documents relate to a whole bunch of different people, bill barr, doj, his communications with -- according to par ness's lawyer, donald trump, members of congress and others, to try to time out the arrest and indictment of lev parness so it hadn't hurt donald trump around the time of his first scandal. that's a massive scandal, a massive abuse of power. this is new breaking news cnn has un

what we see under the biden depart department of justice and merrick garland is a very different approachsays police officers, police departments, have to be held accountable. not just at the state level and not just with state prosecutions. but with federal civil-rights prosecutions. and we should note, john, that not only are there indictments against the four officers involved in george floyd's murder. there is a complaint that has been filed, in terms of a pattern-and-practice investigation, that's going to take place with respect to that minneapolis police department, as well. >> elie, talk to me about the sequencing of the additional-state trials. also, the appeal in the state trial. and the federal cases. do you think that this is something that the federal prosecutors will want to take all the way to trial? or is there a chance, maybe, for pleading out? >> a lot of moving parts here, john. the next thing that's going to happen is the state trial of the other three officers that's set for august. now, this changes the strategic calculus, a bit, i think for both sides. if you are on

>> you know, here's what's interesting about this choice by merrick garland's department of justice to bring these charges. if we think back to rodney king >> that like a civil rights prosecution by the feds to clean up a state system that couldn't get the job done, that didn't convict the officers who assaulted rodney king. this is not that, ali. this was a successful prosecution, i would argue as a former career prosecutor. this was a career expert state prosecution against derek chauvin. so this was not the feds galloping in. we protect the rights of citizens not only when the states fail to do it, but whenever it's the right thing to do regardless of what the states are doing. this is really an important development for the department of justice and, i think, for the civil rights of the american people. >> everybody should get a copy of their constitution out and read it tonight. as a nonlawyer, sounds like an important development to me that that is what the federal government is now saying. thank you for being here tonight. gloria browne-marshall, and glenn kirschner, appreciate

and his name is merrick garland. when you look at the three charges, with a first one is, i would say, predictable. it charges derek chauvin of using unreasonable force too and the life of george floyd. and we all enjoy a constitutional protection against the police using of unreasonable force. that is a seizure it's an unconstitutional seizure. when i'm even more intrigued by is the second count of this indictment because the second count charges officers tao and kang of not applying unreasonable force, but with standing by and watching derek chauvin apply unreasonable force, ending the life of george floyd. and not intervening. that is where i think it's a real shot across the bow to all state and local police departments. not only if you are an officer and you are applying deadly force, unreasonable force, unconstitutional force. if you are other officers and watching it happen, not going to the aided that citizen, you could be federally charged with a civil rights violation. that is an important message to send.

i want to briefly you ask you about merrick garland's statements.ast as how some described the insurrectionists at the capitol as tourists. what do take away from his comment that white supremacy is the biggest threat to democracy. >> he's right on the money. i don't know anyone that works in extremism who has seen a situation as dangerous as right now. back in the '90s, merrick garland was working on things like oklahoma city, we are exponentially in a more dangerous situation now than we were then. they have access to targets, they have access to weapons. they are proliferating very, very quickly. and they have a lot of political motivations. just because our politicians are political leaders won't admit that january 6th was an insurrection, that they won't admit that there are a lot of white supremacist groups tied up in this. that they won't admit that we have mass shootings in this country on almost a daily basis at some point. if they can't admit those things, it just empowers extremists across the board, because they are increasingly unimpede
