and shown into merrick garland say we laid it out way?took that picture and release that picture and he should be answering questions before congress, why didn't you -- keep to your word and do all of your talking in court? and where are all of these other leaks coming from? >> absolutely, and alayna is right, his office is neat and orderly, i could never see him leaving anything classified previously classified at any time classified laying out in the open, this was made to taint a jury and to taint the perception of him. they have been doing this for seven years, the midterms are coming up and then 2024. they are at the end of their rope and doing anything they can to hurt him. all the search warrants, nobody would ever pull things out and lay them out that way. it makes no sense other than they are still trying to destroy the president. and it's not going to work. >> sean: great analysis all of you, gregg jarrett as always, thank you. when we come back, more fbi whistle-blowers are coming forward to expose the borough's political bias

all of that is not addressed by merrick garland. instead, they throw a prejudicial and gratuitous photograph in. they're meant to be incendiary and inflammatory. they spoon fed ihet to m the mea it just shows you how ruthless and depraved merrick garland and his team of prosecutors are. >> and i'm going to that's exactly where i'm headed. i'll put that picture up and keep it up there for a minute.d i and i want to get your takwante on this because this was obviously done for public consumption. this was obviously designed to d influencese public opinion.i thn i think that is clear, as have all the other leaks as well. what happened to. the merrick d garland that said, oh, we'll don all of our talking in court inl. our filings? where's that guy ? yeah, nowhere.re. what's happened is now they'veh put this picture out so that you would assume and i am somebody who has been in the press, lovesd to talk about this, especially today. i'm somebody that has been in his office. i'veabbeen i seen it.t th this is noe t the way his offico looks

that's up to attorney general, merrick garland. and there is mar-a-lago, and trump's private stash of classified documents, a doj investigation that was for a time on hold as the governor battled the trump legal team in march. but now it's going full steam ahead. after this week -- justice department a greenlight to continue its investigation into those roughly 100 classified documents, today we learned that the intelligence assessment, the odni investigation, that is officially back up and running as well. that is important because that intelligence assessment is looking into the potential national security risks and fall out of that classified information potentially being improperly disclosed. and a lot of people, including some very high-profile democrats, are saying that mar-a-lago, rather than january six, is the investigations where mark garland might want to use the full force of the law against donald trump. >> will he faced charges for january 6th? >> i don't know. january 6th may be harder to prove than maybe some of the

where's merrick garland here? where's the raids of these people's homes?e with reaction is trump attorney alina habba along with fox news legal analyst greg jarrett. greg we'll get to you in a minute you were dead on accurate i just quoted you. alina let me get to you and get your reaction being part of president trump's legal team. >> outrage. complete outrage. not surprised but outrage. this is now the third person that we found out has been indicted and was on the payroll of the fbi. that is -- you know, it's unbelievable. i'm the domestic terrorist because i'm a maga republican but the fbi can pay informants that we now know were serving disinformation to the clinton campaign and to serve the dnc and all of them. but we're the domestic terrorists. explain that to me. plus, one thing we didn't mention, october 2020 was when mr. danchenko. do you know when that was sean? i know you do but people watching, october 2020 was when durham was appointed special counsel. that's when the fbi said, oh, we better get you off payroll now because this might not look

merrick garland should not be involved in this case.his case is a way big time overreach that a president cannot be charged under the espionage act if he acted to declassify that he didn't obviously didn't steal the documents because the fbi knew where they were. what ap is he going to shove it in his mattress. meanwhile, they took attorney-client information, potentially information in which he would have exert executive privilege? we don't know yet. i'm not big on the stassi, whether they're dressed up social security fb-- that's it. >> sean: when we come back. still ahead, more scandal from hunter biden . . when a truck hit my car, . the insurance company wasn't fair. i didn't know what my case was worth. so i called the barnes firm. i was hit by a car and needed help. i called the barnes firm, that was the best call i could've made. i'm rich barnes. it's hard for people to know how much their accident case is worth. let our injury attorneys help you get the best result possible. ♪ the barnes firm injury attorneys ♪ ♪ call one eight

so merrick garland won't have any choice.ok like a hard decision form, now it's quite an easy one. it's going to be tough for the nation to swallow but even tougher for all of us in the long run would be to swallow the specter of someone violating the national security laws of the united states and getting away with it. that just can't be the law, and i think what we saw in a serious courtroom today presided over by amateur judge who knows what he's doing, what we saw is a glimpse of what is going to come down. and that is, donald trump will finally for the first time in his life be held accountable. and i think the united states will be the better for it. >> the trump lawyers have argued themselves into a truly terrible corner where they find themselves in writing today saying, the way to find out whether these documents are classified or not is to put donald trump on trial. they actually invited and i think since your most highly experienced appellate expert we could have here, lawyers in appeal cases have to be so careful

the one that merrick garland wasn't given a hearing for.eated a week before the election. that destroyed the legitimacy of the court. >> alice, what do you think? did chief justice roberts sort of -- he sort of ignored some of what al is talking about there in that. there is -- tremendous amount of controversy as to how the court got tilted to the far right. >> to throw some accuracy in what al said there. merrick garland was held up because we had divided government, a democrat in the white house, and republicans in control -- >> that's not what mcconnell said. >> but that's the way historically this has been. when you're in close to an election year and you have divided government. >> no, that's not the way it's been historically done. >> when you have divided government there typically is inclination to -- >> tell me when this happened before. tell me when it happened before. >> well, merrick garland is certainly one. when there's a -- >> no, before merrick garland. >> they're moving -- they're not moving -- >> tell me when this happened

the other is that i do think merrick garland has learned from how donald trump operates and as you'veis created if the department doesn't take its opportunities to speak. so, they have done that, in various filings, i think they've done a really good job of making sure that the public understands what they've done so that they're not just hearing a bunch of spin from donald trump. and i think this speech to new citizens was another example of that, that i think merrick garland and robert mueller are similar in that they're private people and they have a lot of backbone and are strong people, but i sense with merrick garland that he is pushing himself to meet the moment that he's in and to be making these statements and learning from what has happened in the past. >> joyce, i want to bring you in. one of the things that merrick garland's justice department is doing is now certainly seeing to cruise ahead in its investigations into january 6th. and one of the developments that was reported overnight is that eric herschmann, who we have been talking about in the context of informing dona

. >> i would say merrick garland is issue illegal order and fact the attorney general would threatenliterally jaw dropping. >> ashley: former assistant fbi director sweshg sweshg is on deck to react. your creativity can outshine any bad day. because you are greater than your bipolar i, and you can help take control of your symptoms - and ask about vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or highs. once-daily vraylar is proven to treat depressive, acute manic, and mixed episodes of bipolar i in adults. full-spectrum relief for all bipolar i symptoms. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles or confusion which may mean a life-threatening reaction, or uncontrollable muscle movements which may be permanent. high cholesterol and weight gain, and high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, may occur. movement dysfunction and restlessness are common side effects. sleepiness and stomach issues

this was the big blow to merrick garland. a judge deflated his argument that joe biden has the authority to nullify a former president's executive privilege by simply waving it. the judge pointed out that there is a case before the supreme court just this year in which the high court suggested that it can't do that, it would render meaningless any president's executive privilege, so this is a blow to merrick garland, but i don't think he takes this sitting down. i suspect he is seriously considering an appeal. >> let's get your take from a political perspective. >> i find it amazing that people aren't up in arms about what's going on, especially in context of the 2016 refusal by democrats to accept the election results, who are the threat to democracy, not donald trump. they fabricated that hoax, and there still has not been justice for that, and now we know they have suppressed -- evidence. that would scare people. why is the fbi doing this? why are they so they so weaponized and politicized? now, we see this continuing patt

of course, merrick garland knows that is not the end of the inquiry. they have to consider potential defenses. the biggest, who did what? i had trouble -- maybe he was. he probably had people below him doing that. one of the main things that merrick garland has to consider, who did what, who ordered what, more importantly, who refused to give them back? was it knowingly or intentional? >> despite all of that we have seen, trump loyalists are calling this mar-a-lago search necessary. this is worth hearing again. here is former trump attorney, bill barr. take a listen to this. >> i personally think that for them to have taken things at the current point, they probably have pretty good evidence. that is speculation. the driver on this from the beginning was, you know, loads of classified information sitting in mar-a-lago. people said that this was unprecedented. well, it is also unprecedented for a president to take all of is classified information put it in a country club. how long is the government going to try and get that back? you know, they draw it

and you see that kind of urgency in the filings of merrick garland in this case. tell our viers this is part one. we'll speak again later this week. you write about some incredible prosecutions and into stolen art, into ceo's and more about your time running sdny, what you describe as a love affair between some of the career prosecutors and their mission and purpose driven approach to work which is so refreshing in this time of pretty factured politics. so we'll have the second part of this conversation later in the week. >> i look forward to it. >> i'm grateful for you to taking all of our questions. they were pent up over years watching the very secretive and competent work of sdny. thank you very much. the new book "holding the line." this is my ugly galley. this is the real book cover. there it is. on your screen. jeffrey berman, thank you for spending time with us. there is so much to talk about from our discussion. our friends andrew weissmann and joyce vance are here to do that. we'll hear from them on the other side of a short break. don't go anywhere. t b

i think merrick garland is a cautious guy. i don't think either trump case comes close. o err on the side of caution, i see garland hitting the pause button on anything coming from hunter biden, even if there's anything coming. we don't know that just yet. i would expect they'll try to keep their heads down for the next 60 days. >> yeah, i agree. hunter biden has become such a lightning rod for republicans to attack him that even though the charges that are being publicly talked about, gun charge and tax charges don't have anything to do with the famous laptop or anything really political. i still think garland would not charge hunter biden before the election given the state he's played in the talking points. >> we'll keep our eyes on this. evan, jennifer, andy, thank you. >>> the uk has a new prime minister and she faces giant immediate challenges. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boostt® high protein. so we need something super distinctive... dad's work, meet daughter's playtime. thankfully, meta portal auto pans and zooms to keep you in f

republicans coming after him like he's running some sort of doj gone wild, where under merrick garland of all people, they're going after trump for political sport now, for partisan reasons. that's the criticism from republicans and from the conservative media. if you actually look at the substance of the allegations that are being investigated against trump, that critique is plainly wrong. i mean, those really are reams of classified documents that he's not allowed to have that he nevertheless stole and stuffed in his closet in florida. i mean, they really did officially try to get trump electors into the electoral college count from states trump didn't win. he really did summon an armed mob to washington and then told them to physically go to the building where congress was counting the votes to try to stop congress from counting the votes. he really does appear to have taken people's money for something he called his election defense fund when there was actually no election defense fund and he just kept the money. the substance of these cases, what's public about them at least, it p

from merrick garland to lisa monaco to the solicitor general, people who are steeped in appellate law weighing in on this. this decision. so, it is a tough one. i will give you my bottom line. i agree with professor tribe, which is something you always have to say. but here i actually do. but i would give one amendment, which is i would appeal the injunction. i would also appeal the part of the decision that said the special master will review documents for executive privilege. and that means, basically, all documents with classification markings. this is like a thief taking documents then saying, judge, i want them back. this is a complete farce. and to have somebody like laurence tribe and neal katyal have to address this, as if it's a serious argument, just tells you the depths that we are in. and just to be very serious for a moment the notion that in the documents, there are state secrets involving nuclear capabilities means that there is present harm to national security. our allies and countries that want to quietly cooperate with us are looking at all of this and making decisi

it's maybe delay it i think it's important for merrick garland and his troops to be vigilant, to make sure that this doesn't make the whole thing up and stole it too long. i think it's going to drag on for a while. i think the court of appeals and the supreme court -- along in this area, but ultimately i would urge merrick garland to do it my father had to tell me, to keep your eye on the donut, keep your eye on what is important. what is important is the criminal investigation here. not the executive privilege. that is part of it. you've got to pay attention but you do need to keep your eye on the donut. >> that is very interesting. you think they could be trying to run this up with a flagpole to get to the supreme court to develop a new law around the executive privilege? >> and i think it's fairly easy to do that. because there are not many cases like it if you think about it express advance litigation i think it's just nixon. it's very scarce law which is opportunity for judges to create new law. again,, it is not going to stop the investigation. it may delay. it and i think that

under merrick garland, of all people, going after trump for political sport now, for partisan reasons. that's the criticism from republicans, right, the conservative media. if you listen to the substance of the allegations being investigated against trump, that critique is wrong. those really are rings of classified documents he's not allowed to have that he nevertheless stole and stuffed in his closet in florida they really did, officially, tried to get trump electors into the electoral college count from states trump did not run. he really did someone an armed mob to washington and told them to physically go to the building where congress is counting the votes to try to stop congress from counting the votes. he really does to appear to have taken people's money for something he called his election defense fund, when there was, actually, no election defense fund and he just kept the money the substance of these cases, what's public about them, at least, it plainly disproves this criticism from the right that these federal investigations involving trump are baseless, right? prosecutor

with merrick garland here,where' where's the raids of these people's homes? here with reaction, trumtoprney attorney ilina have a along with fox news legal analyst greg janet jarrett. accurate greg, we'll get to you inu. a minute. you were dead on accurate. i just quoted you aleena. let mealina leo yo get to you at your reaction to being part of president trump's legalte outreach. i'm completely outraged. t surprised, butth outrage. this is now the third person indi we found out has been indicted and was on the payroll- of the fbi. that is , you know, it'smestic unbelievable. i'm the domestic terroristristm because i'm a maga republican . but the fbi can pay informants that we now know are serving disinformation to the clinton campaign and to servserve the dh and all of them. but we're the domestic terrorists. explain that to me.mentio plus, one thing we didn't mention, october 2020 was when mr. dan chanko got fired, whenn. that was shot.when t i know you do.ha before you people watching, let's just be clear. october 2020 was when durham was appointed special

a decision that will ultimately be made by attorney general merrick garland. here is the line at the end of the opinion that tells you that there's really nothing more to discuss procedurally. point of trump does not have a possessory interest in the documents at issue, so he does not suffer cognizable harm if the united states reviews documents he neither owns nor has a personal interest in. thus, an injunction delaying, or perhaps preventing, the united states is criminal investigation from using classified materials risks imposing real and significant harm on the united states and the public. the united states also argues that allowing the special master and plaintiffs counsel to examine the classified records with separately impose irreparable harm. we agree. leading off our discussion tonight, andrew weizmann, former fbi general counsel and former chief of the criminal district of eastern new york. professor at -- new york. neil catchable, former acting solicitor general. and also with its, bradley mohsen, asheville security attorney. and andrew weissmann

she clerked for merrick garland in. katie of the reporter du jour, and when you do start with a clarification here. you're not saying that donald trump will not be charged, but just that he's not going to be charged before the midterms. is that right? >> correct and possibly not even this year. it does make a lot of sense. we don't know why the special master will end and even without, them investigators thought they had a month or two of work. they want to interview the wanted to determine whether or not donald trump had returned all the evidence he could to the federal government. and that takes you through basically the end of the year. even of the justice department were to appeal the dallas special master case you have no idea how long that would take, -- and possibly the two other crimes that the justice department put in his application for a search warrant even more. so that is the amount of the investigation into documents. on january 6th what we found is that -- investigators are moving aggressively. from the

the very next day, merrick garland sends a memo out saying here are the rules to speak to congress.e whistle-blowers have had security clearance revoked, which is always the first step in terminating someone at the fbi. this is frightening step. speak the bureau pushed back on the allegation saying the fbi does not target or take adverse action against employees for exercising their first amendment rights were for political views to allege otherwise is false and misleading. jordan promises a more comprehensive investigation into the doj of the republicans take back the majority of the house, carley, todd. >> carley: broke, thank you. let's bring in jonathan gilliam on this one. good morning to you but what do you make of this? you have congressman jim jordan say the fbi is engaging and perching employees with conservative views by revoking security clearance and indefinitely suspending the employees. that is impartiality by the fbi but do you believe this? >> there was a couple of things here. number one, justice as we know it is not impartial anymore. but is not blind completely to

smashed a window and broke in and merrick garland took a bubble bath in trump's tub and erased everything on abbott elementary, merrick. what donald trump did was normal. everyone brings work home. after i got hired from h& m, i brought home an entire cash register. the department of justice is out of control. congratulations, f.b.i. you did it. you found melania's top secret underwear. can i see it? seriously, donald trump took documents, documents? this is no worse than what hillary did, which was terrible, and she should go to prison which is why trump should not go to prison. do i have to list why it is okay he had the documents. attorney-client privilege, white privilege, diplomatic immunity, the kavanaugh hearings. trump is still the president because he never gave two weeks' notice. double jeopardy. we're prosecuting trump on the espionage act. you're trying to get an american president on a french word. i don't think so. no. no. no. no. america, if you are not so outraginged that you forgot to pick your children up from school every day last week, then you are not paying attention

the very next day merrick garland sunset memoir saying here are the rules if you're in a speech to congressthe speech of brave whistle-blowers who want to come forward and tells the truth. we also know that some of those whistle-blowers have had their security clearance revoked. which is always the first step in terminating someone at the fbi and now we think that there is immense a bit retaliation against whistle-blower who has been suspended and this is one of the very first whistle-blowers we have that's been suspended. he came to us back last fall the school board issue we learn that memo randomly came from attorney general garland designed to save work and institute counterterrorism gets moms and dads at 20 some parents investigated by the fbi for simple showing up the school board meeting so continues to escalate and them and viewed in context of everything were dealing with this is finding stuff. >> sean: am hearing as many as 30 whistle-blowers jewish seven letter they received protective whistle-blower disclosures if the fis engaging in his purge of conservatives. now there are two

i suspect merrick garland will use a more finally tuned analysis.if the reason that trump is going to be not indicted for crimes but very likely other people would be indicted for, it's because he was the former president. that just stands our system of justice on his head. garland will far more likely hue to the traditional principles of federal prosecution, determining whether there is a strong case, whether there is a national interest, and whether there are other forms that can vindicate the interests that would be vindicated by the federal christmas criminal justice system. we don't know how he will view this ultimately, but one suspects he'll have a far more rigorous analysis than the former attorney general. >> jackie, what are your sources telling you? are republicans and trump camp, and they reading barr's comments the same way joyce says? i keep hearing barr saying the doj has almost enough evidence to indict him. >> republicans have remained pretty mama on this, but i tend to agree with joyce here, which is that most people in the republi

gently speaking, as i look at the fbi today and we have all these whistle blows that merrick garlandtrying to solids as he reminds them that they are not allowed to talk to the elected officials like you and charles grassley and ron johnson. has the fbi been politicized? is the doj in this country and your view with a raid like this could have they been weaponize. >> : totally crash on. if you look at what is going on here, and look at the fact that they will send a swat style team to go -- after a catholic pro-life activist, but at the same time, there are 17 or more fire bombings of pregnancy care centers that have no arrest happened made. they are not lifting a finger to do anything about this. what it says is is that there are two tiers of justice here. there are two systems and one is ideologically and if you are a conservative, if you are a person of faith, then you are going to get targeted by this administration. they will use the law against you and sean, that is wrong and we have got to find out who is responsible but i want to know who signed off on this. i want to. i want

elizabeth: jon in the senator's's letter to attorney general merrick garland.allegedly , lobbying investigations, beyond that what could there be beyond that. >> we don't know here. it's a sprawling vast investigation covering many different things. we know for example allegedly two million dollars was paid to the irs to settle past tax issues from his friend kevin morris. we don't know exactly kevin fronted that money. there is a lot of unanswered questions. elizabeth: it is about using government assets for your own personal enrichment. so that is what hunter biden and biden family have been accused of, basically using government resources during the obama administration. that is a question, why did the obama white house allow it to happen? >> you know, that raises a question of how involved was president biden while he was vice president during this period and that's something which ultimately a congressional investigation will probably have to get to the bottom of. elizabeth: jon levine, thanks for joining us. good to see. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth

he and merrick garland are derelict for mild anti-abortion protesters while showing no interest in filing single charge against those who firebombed pro-life pregnancy centers, wray will have blood on his hand is a child or innocent is ever killed by an itchy trigger finger. how worried are you about what the washington examiner puts out there? >> i read the op ed and deeply concerned. this invites comparison to the summer of 2020, taking over police departments, courthouses and violence that went along with it and nothing but crickets. supreme court justices, people went to their homes and threatened to assault them and harass them and their family members, same with some congressmen, you can go on and on and on. there are no left-wing domestic terrorists, deeply concerned about the fbi, i love the men and women of the fbi, it is a great organization. what we've seen since jame comey came in. the only presidential appointment on the director, doj has taken over and salted the fbi with other doj people who have doj pedigree as various executive positions inside the fbi, they are a politic

merrick garland, former appeals court judge was not interested in doing that. em to the capitol, people familiar with garland's thinking, perilous to speculate about that. that's what i'm told. >> nbc's ken dilanian. thank you so much. >>> the senate judiciary committee will investigate claims former president trump tried to force the justice department to prosecute his political enemies and help his allies. "the new york times" was first to report the committee's chairman, democratic senator dick durbin of illinois sent a letter to attorney general garland requesting documents related to accusations made by geoffrey berman in his new book. berman was the u.s. attorney in the southern district of new york for more than half of trump's presidency. the trump appointee claims he was fired by then attorney general bill barr because his work threatened trump's reelection campaign. and former u.s. attorney geoffrey berman joins us live. his new book out today entitled "holding the line inside the nation's preeminent u.s. attorney's office and its battle with the trump

. >> let's consider the burden on the attorney general, merrick garland tonight. on this issue of the question of possibly prosecuting a former president of the united states. when you have a witness now? publicly reveals to have told donald trump that if you do x, that is a crime. and then donald trump does x. and i say all that because, on saturday, attorney general merrick garland speaking to newly naturalized citizens in this country. spoke specifically about the rule of law in this country. and when you listen to these words tonight. but the fact base that we now have. that we've just developed in the last 15 minutes of eric herschmann telling donald trump, holding on to these documents is a crime. and donald trump holds on to the documents. listen to the words the attorney general used on saturday that seem to apply very directly to his decision about indicting a former president of the united states. >> the protection of law. the rule of law. it's a foundation of our system of government. the rule of law means that the same laws apply to all of us. the rule

but based on what i've read from the justice department filing two days ago, i don't see how merrick garland could not indict donald trump. it is impossible to look the other way at this point. so i do expect an indictment to president for these crimes. >> well, i agree with you there. whether he wants to or not, i know he could have the debate as-n his mind as whether he should or not since he's a former president. given the pleadings an the evidence, i don't really think he has any choice at this point. as far as more, let's say more significant case, i'm talking of course about sedition against the united states of america as a sitting president but you are right, this is an extraordinarily important case in its own right. msnbc legal analyst neal katyal, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we greatly appreciate you being with us. >> so the office of the director of national intelligence is reviewing materials taken from former trump's florida estate for the potential national security risks. that review was requested in part by intelligence committee chair adam schiff. and the democratic

now if you look at merrick garland decisions with the doj, it is scary. believe the doj and merrick garland are out of bounds and it has nothing to do with president trump. it is wrong, what they did, and the decision that was made. our vice president cannot control the southern border. i heard her speech over the weekend. , there is nothing wrong with the southern border, she said. that is a disgusting remark. you have governor abbott being screamed at every day bussing migrants and she sits there in fantasyland. i do not get it. also, justice roberts, he is another one. i do not care for him. it is disgusting. justice thomas is bashed because he is a republican. it is unreal, what is going on. we have had that since george washington. it does not bother me. i think the decisions coming out are sound. i think it is constitutional. there are activist judges, but that is up to them. i think the supreme court is within check. it has nothing to do with republican or democrat. as long as they go by the constitution, i could care less. i heard justice sotomayo

so merrick garland is foolish enough to bring a criminal indictment against donald trump. i look forward tt o seeing him twist himself into a pretzel, twisng to explain his own hypocrisy. all right. thank you both. himse straightlf i had a new report. alec baldwin may face criminal charges for his role ine fata the fatal shooting on the set of pam bondi and clay travis. >> straight ahead, a heart attack. >> do they have life insurance ? no, but we have life insurance ,john . >> i'm trying to find something we can afford. fortunately, in only a few minutes, aliquot found john a five hundred thousand dollar policy for only twenty nine dollars a month. and his wife and a five hundred thousand dollar policy for only twenty one dollars. go to select cocom now and get the insurance your family needs at a price you can afford selectquote we shop you. >> hi, i'm attorney don mccary. proud veteran who's been helping raising their families for decades. but now i'm sure you've heard the news about camper's in the new law, which allows victims to file for compensation. this is differe

so much pressure, public outcry, about merrick garland and whether he was gonna pursue any of this. appears that january six committee in the doj are very much in line with one another in a way that they haven't been up until now. >> they certainly are. and i think the question continues to be, what happened? what turned the justice department on in june? if you talk to people at the justice department, they won't tell you anything about an investigation of course, but they will express frustration that those -- announcing outside were criticizing them for apparent inaction. all of us who have been in the justice department are familiar with the circumstance where you are doing things but you have to keep quiet. you get criticized for it but can't defend yourself. but they've always felt like they were investigating aggressively inconsistent. now, we see the evidence. >> what happens here? we have the doj investigation into the beach club papers -- mar-a-lago. and we have this investigation into january 6th. two investigations. -- investigate from the allegations put forth in -- jus

merrick garland, since thatch memo out saying here are the rules. if you're going to speak to congress, it. is a memo designedwhistl to chill the speech of bravee- whistleblowers who want to comea forward and tell us the truth.e we also know that some of thosee whistleblowers havare hadwhich their security clearance revoked, which is always the first step. internmentisstep termi hitting t the fbi. tha and now we think there's beet tn specific retaliation against a whistleblower who's been suspended. been sis and thi is one of the y first whistleblowers we had who's been suspended. he came toe to us back last fall with the school boards issue aten we learned that memorandum that came from attorney general garland designed tdesignedo sayt going to useer the counterterrorism measures against moms and dads and 20ads2 some parents were investigated by the fbi for simply showing up at a school board meeting.o so it continues to escalate.n and when you vie w it in context of everything we're doing, this is frightening stuff. stufall right. let me talk abou

and this wassn't eve a big blow to merrick garland. judge deflated his argument that joe biden has the authority to nullify a former president's executive privilege by simply waiving it.h the judge pointed ouatt there's a case before the supreme courti just this year inn which the high court suggest that you can't do that. that, i >> that would render meaningless any president's executive privilege. so you this is a big blow to thi merrick garland, but he's not the kind of guy who takes itthin sitting down. >>k i suspectin hge is seriousy considering an appeal. >> david , let's get your takep. on this from a legal perspective. >> lwell, you know, i find it amazing that people aren't uple in arms about what's going on ,t what especially in contex'st of the 2016 refusal by the democrats to accept the election result. and they, by the way a, arccepe the threat to democracy, notwh donald trump. and they fabricated that hoax.at and there still hasn't been justice for that. and now we learn that they've suppressed by the lansky's evidence an

if president biden and merrick garland have proved anything, they do not care about an evenhanded applicationhis is about mar-a-lago but more than that. when parents were thomistic terrorists, they had questions what is going on in their child's school, go back to the fact you had president biden's white house working with the an ea for that to happen behind the scenes or president biden and his administration pushing dissent with media and social media companies which in my view was a complete violation of the first amendment of the united states, this goes to the leadership and the white house, democrat leadership in the united states senate who refuses to say anything about these issues and hold this administration and department of justice accountable. less point. if we are going to say the documents at mar-a-lago are a threat to national security than why did james comey and the department of justice in 2015-16 say there was no reason to prosecute hillary clinton even though it was clear she had national security documents on a server and also clear she smashed those servers and wiped th

. >> we what if you have a problem, though, john, that is merrick garland remindd everybody recently work for the doj or the fbi, you're not loued to talk to members of congress or the senate. >> yeah, i don't care that's going to hold. believe me, there are over 25 people that i know from the fbi justice department that have made contact with the congress despite merrick garland's effort to muzzle them. people are coming out of the woodwork. people who just recently left they dent have to follow that construct. >> last word, jason. >> i it used the chairman of the oversight committee. if you're at the department of justice, you got something to say, you go tubing to a senator to jim jordan, that the right way to do it. >> that's we have whistleblowers laws in this -- >> we do. >> only hearsay thank you john. thank you, jason. more hanty coming up right after this. ♪ ♪ this... is a glimpse into the no-too-distant future of lincoln. ♪ ♪ it's what sanctuary could look like... feel like... sound like... even smell like. more on that soon. ♪ ♪ the best part? the prequel is pretty sweet t
