the attorney general merrick garland said they could have saved lives. what should we understand about the enormity of the failure here? >> i think that is the best word about it. it is an enormity. it's astonishing to see even though it's not surprising the glaring disregard for best practices by the law enforcement who responded. and if you read the numbers and the details you find out that law enforcement looked for a dozen -- they gave more than a dozen excuses why they didn't go through that door when standard protocol that they trained in themselves two months before -- they hosted a training two months before this shooting, law enforcement did. and they still found a dozen or more excuses looking for keys or looking for ballistic shields. and in the end they went in anyway and they didn't get injured, but they let those people die in there. and it's unforgivable. >> and katherine, of this nearly 600-page report singled out the former school police chief, and the sheriff. what should accountability look like for them and perhaps for others? >> othe

i think that's what merrick garland was discussing.ne is your prosecution of the efforts, in other words, don't treat this as a joke or just as background noise. that these prosecutions, not just of the overa thousand prosecutions of the nicks members, but, also, the continuing prosecutions. people can't do this as a joke, they can't just swat. swatting, for example, as you were describing, as had violent consequences, because if you have law enforcement go out thinking someone has been kidnapped or thinking that someone is in harm's way, that interaction can sometimes cause violence. so you have the prosecutions, but you also have, of course, the elevated threat environment. the challenge here is it could hit anywhere. we simply don't know. it could be your random election official in georgia that all of a sudden becomes the focus of people's ill will. >> julia, thank you so much for being with us. >>> first of all, coming at the top of the hour, it's almost nearly 8:00. >> almost 8:00. we're going to take a different angle of the pre

my question to you is, do you believe if they do issue that, that merrick garland will charge him andah, a great question, and greetings from des moines, iowa. you know, griff, i think that, first of all, abby lowell is putting on a master class of how to play a losing hand. you know, his client's facing six felony charges, six misdemeanors, a contempt of congress, if merrick garland's doj decided to take it on would be just one more misdemeanor and most likely not change the legal calculation, but i don't think at the end of the day merrick garland is going to do this, and you know, even though that they prosecuted steve ban nonand peter navarro for contempt of congress. others like mark meadows they decided not to. they'll try to explain it as just a categorical, not going to go there, but at the same time, i just think that hunter biden faces so many other significant charges there's probably-- he doesn't worry about this one too much. griff: you may be right and it may be the least of his problems and it was quite a week in hunter biden land, and out in california, of course, he's

right to attorney general merrick garland at the justice department. let's listen. >> -- threatening to kill a member of congress and his children. this is just a small snapshot of a larger trend that has included threats of violence against those who administer our elections, and ensure our safe travel, teach our children, report the news, represent our constituents and keep our communities safe. these threats of violence are unacceptable. they threaten the fabric of our democracy. over the past several years, the justice department has dedicated itself to combatting these threats. we're meeting today to determine how we can double down on the efforts in the new year. before beginning our meeting, i want to take a moment to recognize that tomorrow marks the third anniversary of the january 6th attack on the capitol. for our country, january 6th was an unprecedented attack on the cornerstone of our system of government. the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next. for many of the law enforcement officers defending the capitol on

today, attorney general merrick garland made it clear that the justice department practice referred to as the 60-day rule will not in any way inhibit the trial schedule in the two federal prosecutions of donald trump. the 60-day rule genuinely restricts federal investigative activity involving john politicians for 60 days prior to an election. >> is there a date in your mind where it might be too late to bring these trials to fruition? again, to stay out of the way of the elections as the department policies require? >> i say what i said, which is that the cases were brought last year. the prosecutor has urged a speedy trials. with which i agree. and this is now in the hands of the judicial system, not in our hands. >> donald trump's claim, that he had any president to the knighted states has total immunity from criminal prosecution for anything done while president, is currently being considered by the federal district court of appeals unwashed in d. c.. donald trump's appeals have of appeal that notion of presidential immunity. a really written by trial judge tanya chutkan, who is pr

i want to note that while biden did appoint the attorney general merrick garland, garland appointed a special counsel, jack smith, an independent entity, to pursue those cases. both the -- classified documents case against former president trump. but merrick garland has also appointed special councils to look into president biden, rob hur looking into the possible mishandling of classified documents by president biden, and also president biden's son. who also has a special counsel who was filed to criminal cases against him. so the idea that president biden is somehow weaponizes justice department to slowly go after trump, there's no evidence to support that. in fact attorney general merrick garland has appointed multiple special councils, one for trump, one for biden, and a different one for his son. there really is no evidence to support this idea that this is election interference by president biden. >> paula, please stand by, we have cnn legal analyst elliott williams with us to parse through some of these claims. i want to go back to this idea that the judge doesn't want to accep

merrick garland is in uvalde, texas, right now at robb elementary school. garland will meet with the families later today. his visit comes ahead of the botched police response to the uvalde school massacre. the review comes a year and a half after the mass shooting at robb elementary, the deadliest u.s. school shooting. even though there were numerous 911 calls made from classrooms, the responding officers waited outside those rooms for more than an hour. to this day there's not been any serious accountability or explanation for such a delayed response. instead there's been silence, contradictions from law enforcement, public officials and school administrators leaving grieving families haunted by the idea that their loved ones could have been saved that day. ending school shootings feels like such a daunting task, given the degree and amount of gun violence in the united states and the unwillingness of so many officials to do anything about it. there does appear to be some kind of hope. a new study published by the medical journal of pediatrics shows that a

first, he was attorney general merrick garland talking about jack smith's cases today. >> the department has policies about steering clear of elections. it is the right date in your mind where it might be too late to bring the trials to fruition? again, to stay out of the way the elections, as the department policies? >> i'll just say what i said, which is, the cases were brought last year. prosecutor has urged a speedy trials. which i agree with. and it's now the hands of the judicial system. >> what the attorney general is talking about here is the justice department so-called 60-day rule. it is a guideline that the department does not announce an investigation, or indict, or do anything publicly to a politician within 60 days of an election. attorney general garland today made clear that that rule is no longer a public-able here. the justice department brought its cases against trump last year. they are now on public record. the proverbial cat is out of the bag. but what about the timing? when do these trials actually start. the attorney general answered that question today as well. >

and we're awaiting the press conference from merrick garland and we'll bring it to you when it begins. the nearly 600 page report exams the failures from leadership to communication. and ryan riley is joining me now. what are the big headlines, major results of it? it is incomprehensible how many failures and lives that could have been saved. >> yeah, failures of leadership and then failures of communication. one of the big issues -- in fact that the individual -- the person in charge that police chief did not actually have a radio on him when all of this was taking place. and he was relying on his phone to have these communications. but they just sort of went against the generally accepted policy that has been really the standard since columbine. confront the shooter. and instead they treated it as a barricade situation. and so that led to the 77 minutes when they ultimately killed the shooter hiding inside of a closcloset. and so they hope to get a message that goes across the country and has an impact so that other law enforcement agencies are ultimately in a situation where they a

i will argue we'll see the same hypocrisy and two-tiered justice system from merrick garland and joeiden because joe biden will do everything to cover up and protect his family from their crime and corruption and merrick garland is nothing but a biden lackey abusing the power of the department of "justice." larry: the way they went after steve bannon and peter navarro. in fact they put navarro in cuffs if i'm not mistaken? >> that's right. they prosecuted steve bannon and peter navarro, we'll see, will the department of justice prosecute hunter biden, the son of the president. larry: i wouldn't hold breath on that. you make a good point. marjorie, congresswoman, what is up with the mayorkas hearings? i noticed that the leadership is really coming around now to the mayorkas hearings. i was reading an op-ed piece by tom emmer talking about law-breaking, malfeasance, unrestrained flow of migrations, not securing the border. certainly not protecting american sovereignty or security. i mean i think, i don't know how this is going to work university but the case against mayorkas seems to b

bombs on mexico and the justice department to throw into prison the entire biden family plus merrick garland, plus mark milley, plus every prosecutor and judge who have gone up against donald trump, while granting every police officer total immunity to brutalize and kill at will. which is the point that he made in the same post where he wrote, quote, you can't stop police from doing the job of strong and effective crime prevention because you want to guard against the occasional rogue cop or bad apple. joining me now is former u.s. attorney general eric holder. he's currently chairman of the national democratic redistricting committee, and attorney general holder, thank you so much for being here. i want to get your reaction as the former attorney general of the united states to a president claiming that he has such broad immunity that he could assassinate his political opponents. >> well, you know, that argument really indicates how absurd the position is of the trump camp. you know, just because a former president has filed a court paper and because we have been talking about it for an ext

at that point, the focus shifts to the attorney general, merrick garland. it's the department of justice's decision whether or not they want to bring criminal contempt charges. all congress can do, all the house can do is give the justice department a referral to basically say here's the situation. here's what happened. we recommend, we're referring hunter biden for a prosecution. doesn't mean the justice department has to do it. in a minimum, this is going to amp up the pressure substantially on merrick garland as to whether he is willing to bring additional criminal charges against the president's son or whether he's going to cuts him a break and let him skate through this. >> them, there's those on both sides of the aisle that call themselves traditionalists and respect the system already in place. like, you know, a house committee. you know, asking you to testify and holding you in contempt if you don't. there's views of those on the left that find this needless and courtroom drama. others are saying that there's a process, we have to honor it. no matte

last week, attorney general merrick garland raised the very issue of dangerous rhetoric and its consequencesday, we arrested and charged an individual with threatening to kill a member of congress and his children. this is just a small snapshot of a larger trend that has included threats of violence against those who administer our elections, insure our safe travel, teach our children, report the news, represent their constituents, and keep our communities safe. these threats of violence are unacceptable. they threaten the fabric of our democracy. >> the attorney general did not share the name of the congress member who received those threats but did share in the final month of 2023, the department investigated and charged individuals with making violent threats against fbi agents, federal judges, a supreme court justice, presidential candidates, members of congress, members of the military, and election workers. several bomb threats were also made against courthouses across the country. joining me now is anthony coley, msnbc legal analyst and former senior adviser to attorney general merric
