michael flynn was prosecuted and pled guilty as part of the mueller probe., about his contacts with russian officials, including the russian ambassador during the transition period. he was about to be sentenced and instead, donald trump pardoned him after the 2020 election. when i hear from folks, they view donald trump as the person who is going to take that fight to the politicized justice department. they look at michael flynn as one of those justice warriors who was wrongly prosecuted despite the fact that he pled guilty. talking about eight years of investigations you said it's confusing, it is hard, ultimately what were the contacts between the trump campaign and russia? it gets buried really down to donald trump making the case of russia, russia, russia and what he is going to do is going to turn to those who have been loyal to him. one of those individuals is michael flynn who is going to make the message that he has been unfairly target sfoods let's ask former chief communications adviser for paul ryan and analyst brendan buck, how do you see this l

for folks who have forgotten michael flynn over the years, you'll recall, he left the white house after about his conversations during the transition period with the russian ambassador. flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi during the same conversations. he pleaded guilty to the fbi for lying and not disclosing his work of hundreds of thousands of dollars with the turkish government. he's the one who was pardoned by donald trump weeks after the 2020 election. who was his lawyer? sidney powell. after that, he's become a close ally who has continued to spread conspiracy theories related to the 2020 election. also, he's continued to spread conspiracy theories about russia's invasion into ukraine, saying russia exposed the bioweapons that the u.s. has funded. that is michael flynn. that's the split screen out of the weekend in iowa. donald trump calling into michael flynn and the christian national conspiracy theory movement, versus ron desantis actually in iowa making the case for republicans. >> it's a dramatic split screen. iowa, new hampshire, showing up matters. not just showing up

who donald trump said on saturday would return to the white house with him, after michael flynneaded guilty to lying to the fbi and was been pardoned by donald trump -- we don't know what price if any michael flynn might have had to pay for that part or if giuliani was involved in selling that part. here's a sampling of the recorded statements, just the recorded statements that rudolph giuliani made that now up here as the basis for a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment sexual assault, denial of wages and other severe abuses of noËl dunfee. page 12, he was later recorded telling boston free i wanted you from the day i interviewed you. page 26 on february 23rd 2013, giuliani told ms. dunfee that he could get in trouble with girls who look like there was 16 -- below 20. this conversation was recorded. he told miss dunphy who was 43 years old during recorded conversation, anytime a loan with my girlfriend, with my little girl. this became part of a pattern in which giuliani referenced ms. dunfee as his daughter. in the context of sexual activity and made her extremely uncomfortable.

let me about michael flynn. trump was apparently part of the awakened tour. if he gets re-elected, he would bring flynn back to the white house with him. remind everybody here, flynn is very much a conspiracy theorist, he was encouraging trump to invoke martial law to try to overturn the 2020 election. your thoughts about this. >> it's so bad, because for so many of my generation of veterans who grew up in global war on terrorism, the era of counterinsurgency. at one point general flynn was a pillar of that effort, someone we looked to as one of the great generals of this generation. then he has over the past decade taken this horrific turn towards extremism, fascism, authoritarianism and ultimately what is anti patriotism, anti-constitutionalism. the fact that donald trump is using him as a symbol for all that shows us something marge larger about the trump campaign. we've seen it in his town halls. we've seen it in his speeches. he's unforgiving. he will not step back and he will never at any point step away from his base who are fascists and anti-american.

new right of orban and putin, and of course historical racism and white christian nationalists, michael flynnof that is -- has a confluence around trump. i'm not surprised at all. this is part of the culture that is the gop today. >> i believe donald trump promised over the weekend to bring michael flynn back if he's reelected to office. jamelle, while it is very good that president biden speaking out against the white supremacist domestic terror threat, i have to ask, where is the broader political media, legislative strategy from democrats, from liberals, from the left for counteracting this mainstreaming of white supremacy in front of our eyes on the right? >> i don't know if there is a broad strategy here. i think part of what makes talking about this so difficult, you showed those clips of fox news dismissing this as ridiculous. i'm not really sure that american political culture in general has any real way of talking about this or discussing this or preparing for it. you mentioned the 1995 oklahoma city bombing. that is instructive for a lot of reasons. first, obviously, as you said, th

but there is the team normal folks, and then the guy heard believers, rudy giuliani, michael flynn.never clear where meadows was. would rather somebody actually believed, it is clear, meadows was along for trump's ride, and had a firsthand view of all of it. you might remember the description of one truly unhinged white house meeting from december 2020. >> let's return to that meeting at the white house on the evening of december 18, that night, a group showed up at the white house, including sydney powell, retired lieutenant general, michael flynn, and former overstock dot com ceo patrick byrne. after getting access to the building from a junior white house staffer, the group made their way to the oval office. they were able to speak with the president by himself for sometime until white house officials learned of the meeting. what ensued was a heated and profane clash between this group and president trump's white house advisers, who traded personal insults, accusations of disloyalty to the president, and even challenges to physically fight. >> remember that meeting, that's the me

and one plea that michael horowitz presented to him on a platter, and then i compare that to the record of special counsel mueller who convicted paul manafort and rick gates and mike flynn michael cohen and indicted dozens of russians, and if you want to compare which one of these had substance and meat behind the allegations, it's absolutely clear. robert mueller did. >> i think it's clear, they also name check you. durham name checked you. they said our investigation gathered evidence that showed a number of those closest to the investigation believed that the standard arguably had not been met, even strzok, that is you, who drafted and approved the opening ec, said there's nothing to this but we have to run it to ground. his view would seem to dockate the opening at the most a preliminary investigation. did you in fact oppose opening the mueller investigation? >> well, you know, no, i didn't. in fact, john durham did not interview me except in a narrow scope before i went into the grand jury related to the investigation, so had he interviewed me, there would have been a wide variety of things i would have said. first and foremost, the initial allegation was extraordi

remember, they went after general michael flynn over that, so who knows? stay on story too -- larry: influence peddling. elizabeth: that's right. larry kudlow, you're risk. thank you so much. it's good to see you. this news coming in, let's bring in fox news contributor liz peek. you know, liz are liz, we're watching the regionals, hearing reports trading desks are really concerned the white house and congress not ready for possibly more bank failures. look at the regional banks taking hits today just a day the after jpmorgan agreed to the take after pairs republic -- first republic bank, liz. >> yeah. and i think the jamie dimon said that was it, we could now breathe. you know, liz, the problem is we had charlie munger at berkshire hathaway, another guru of omaha, talking about commercial real estate, and that that kind of got all the analysts on the street looking at what the commercial real estate exposure was for a lot of smaller and regional banks. guess what? there is some. so that was a problem. and look, here's the incredible thing, we have never,

that's michael flynn. he had to be pardoned by trump after he had lied to the fbi about his russia contact. he went on to try to overturn the election results, and he is not alone. the real -- reawakened america tour is a who's who of election deniers and insurrectionists and sympathizers. aaron trump, his wife laura trump, roger stone, the pillow salesman, sydney powell, peter navarro, as my colleague rachel maddow reported on monday, that lineup previously included to brilliant antisemites. they've since been booted from the tour, or at least the stop at the republican presidential front runners or in florida. but no credit is due for that because you should not actually have to disinvite their friends from your event. look, liberalism conspiracy theories, antisemitism, they've all been around forever -- they are not even uniquely american pensions. what is different in modern america is that there is this weird overlap going on. extremists can be armed. they cannot obtain very deadly weapons very easily

a report and rolling stone says trump is considering a key administration position for michael flynn,guilty of lying to the fbi about communications he had with russian officials and floated invoking martial law to help overturn the 2020 election. trump is also apparently angling once again to put jeffrey clark in a top job. he is the formerly obscure doj staffer who try to get himself installed as attorney general of the united states after the 2020 election so he could sort of calm endear the entire department of justice to weaponize it on behalf of donald trump and overturn the results to install trump as the winner. joining me now is noah shachtman, editor in chief of rolling stone, which broke this latest reporting on trump's inner circle. noah, first i would start with trump says a lot of things, there's a lot of people around him. how sure are we that these are people that he really still, like, thinks of as loyal as he wants to have in the admin? >> we are pretty sure, man. these are people that trump has been -- in the case of flynn, right, he's been a trump ally since before

far right conference at his south florida hotel hosted by his former national security adviser michael flynn whom he fired early in his administration for lying to the fbi >> general flynn is some general he is some man he took abuse like nobody could have handled. >> reporter: the former president vowing to bring flynn back into his s administration if re-elected >> we're going to bring him back >> allie raffa joins us now allie, we saw the competing tallies of elected officials supporting each one of them what about the voters there? >> reporter: the latest primary polls show the former president leading desantis in iowa by nearly 20 percentage points but gop activists in the state say there is still room for someone other than mr. trump, kate. >> allie, thank you. >>> we are watching an historic election in turkey, and it's looking like a nail biter with the country's long time leader hoping to hold on after two decades in power this election being seen as a major test of democracy for a critical u.s. ally with huge implications for the region raf sanchez has the latest. raf? >> reporter:

>> michael flynn promised full conversation to the mueller team. he goes to jail! lock him up!even when their story start to fall apart, they kept it going. they pretended their camera phone was broken and that's why they couldn't face time you america. you saw the documentary. who was the cat fish. they wanted us to believe it was a big redhead going around and ruin the world and do all kinds of bad things to us. turnous the cat fish -- hey, we don't boo here. for this one time, you may boo. back to being nice. look, if the pantsuit fits. hillary clinton, you owe russia an apology. there should be an apology tour for lying to the american people and ruining two years of trump's presidency and affecting the election with russiagate, and fake dossier. it was the democrats telling it was rain. what jim norton called the $40 special. [ laughter ] don't expect a retraction or apology. they are already doubling down. >> this is a predictable, sad ending to an investigation that never should have taken place. >> durham is a kind of pathetic character >> he copy and pasted from the re

far right conference at his south florida hotel hosted by his former national security adviser michael flynn whom he filed early in his administration for lying to the fbi. >> general flynn is so general, he is a man, he took abuse like nobody could have handled. >> reporter: the f former president vowing to bring flynn back into his administration if reelected. >> we're going to bring you back >> reporter: the latest primary polls show the former president leading desantis in iowa by nearly 20 percentage points, but gop activists in the state insist there's still room for someone other than mr. trump >> thank you >>> abortion continues to be a major issue in the 2024 presidential race. gop candidates nikki haley is breaking away from some of her fellow republicans' stance on the issue. senator tim scott who is exploring running for president next year has recently endorsed a federal 20-week abortion ban haley was asked about this on cbs face the nation and declined to endorse a federal ban saying it was unrealistic when a senate filibuster would likely stand in the way of passing it. >> why

if it's michael flynn, or congressman jeff fortenberry steve bannon is more than happy to pursue the political opponents for line charges or other process charges. just another example of the double standard that merrick garland has one comes along enforcement. >> laura: senators, your colleagues they don't care about any of this they are standing with. their statement that the relief reads in part that it for years dedicated herself to the people of massachusetts and equal justice under the law. senator? it's official. standards, the dignity that joe biden promise that's all out the window. it's about raw power for these people. >> i think a lot of the reasons why the democrats stood by her even after we raise the red flags so much so that it took kamala harris coming in bring a tie vote for new she is part of the george soros left-wing activist network of anti-law enforcement activists around the country. just those around so much money and so much political weight and a party no one was willing for the democrat party was going across his pro crime powerful network of activists. >>

they said that paul manafort, george papadopoulos, michael flynn as well as carter page got together because of their look into russia they didn't exist, it means donald trump's whole campaign in his presidency shouldn't really happen. for four years, they said he was illegitimate. for four years, everything trump did from the north korean meeting to the tax cuts on down to the abraham accords, every time he had something, a russia probe investigation, revelation would pop up and this is all proven that its fiction instead of admitting to it like jake tapper says. >> harris: let's take a look at that. let's watch that. >> the report is now here. it has dropped. it might not have produced everything but it is regardless devastating to the fbi. and to a degree it does exonerate donald trump. >> harris: last quick thought. >> brian: how hard was it for him to say that? his network lived out the whole trump connection. their anger at kayleigh and others who would sit up there and try to tell you what's going on in the country. instead they talked about russia. it proves that the investig

means that if you have all these people who during the mueller investigation from trump's team, michael flynn, roger stone et cetera, they were able to find real things to convict them off and you can't confine -- you can't find them on the clinton side. >> judge jeanine: there is exculpatory evidence. >> martha: what is clear is that the justice system is not blind. it had a lot of things on both sides, chose not to pursue those, chose to pursue the others and that's a choice that should never be made. >> judge jeanine: and the democrats weaponized the justice system in america had no faith. >> jesse: happy because you got away with it. >> martha: coming up, judge janine's exclusive interview with daniel penny's attorney. here the marine's side. we need to follow the story closely what happened. at red land cotton, the bedding start right here on our family's cotton farm in north alabama. the heartland of america. we rely on hard work and honest manufacturing to deliver high quality, heirloom inspired bedding, bath towels and more, all made in the usa. experience the farm to home difference

, just reenergizing america the, it is about centering the america way slip around the church, michael flynn was highlighting, if the foam pelosi was news there, sydney powell was there. it's weird, there is that kind of stuff going on, there's tommy type reveal talking about how we should not criticize white nationalists because they're just americans. what zach's is right. what has to happen here? is this battle lost? the republican party will go down this road on the rest of us have to figure out the way without them? >> the last part of that i think is actually the part we are in right now, ali? there is a lot of us, myself included that are trying to figure out a way for how does that happen? how do we do that what remnants of this current iteration of parties are salvageable. 90% of it isn't? because of what you described kept at mar-a-lago. when you've got the united states senate, a congressman, a governor standing up and embracing white nationalism. totalitarian tactics towards quid decriminalizing women. et cetera. would you come back from that? how do you come back from that? when

this is okay and giving permission to people to believe in these things as well as symbols like michael flynnt he may welcome back into a future administration and trump called in to his rally this weekend. so these are bigger pieces of the larger movement within the gop. >> i know you've got to move on but can i just say real quick, this isn't just about blocked promotions or military readiness. these are families. i'm a military kid. when your dad gets promoted, when your mom gets promoted, you are moving. when your promotion doesn't go through, you are stuck in a state of limbo. this is schools, this is families, this is actual people beneath the number. and i think that's completely absurd to do that to families that are already giving so much. >> people and families who serve our country for less than they could make in the private sector through any circumstances, do what the government and president asks them to do. that's an excellent point. >>> up next for us, turkey's presidential election heading for a runoff. who knew the subway series could get even better? me, i knew. maybe you

of a bunch of his right-wing advisers, including his disgraced former national security adviser michael flynnhink all these people would still be saying it was a joke? or where they continue to act as trump's army. and these judges or juries of their peers were fighting, this was not a joking matter. this was an absolutely serious attempt to overthrow our government. and we can only be grateful that the rule of law has held to the point that we now have hundreds of convictions that have taken place. more than 1000 arrests that have taken place. and the investigation continues. the largest investigation by the department of justice in american history. so the justice system is working, but everybody is still waiting for the question to be answered, which i think i posed at the very last meeting of the january 6th committee. which is, are we going to become a country where the footsoldiers and the lower down ringleaders coated jail, but the masterminds and the real ringleaders at the top skate away free? or go golfing in scotland or ireland, that's the big question. >> congressman raskin, sadly

what, i have a get out of jail free car, and in fact, that is exactly what donald trump did with michael flynnoger stone with paul manafort, in a litany of people. this wasn't the usual abuse of the pardon power, which we saw bill clinton engage in. this was pardoning people who actually had an interest in what evidence they might be able to give with respect to the former president. it wasn't just giving it to, you know campaign contributors or people he likes. this really fundamentally went to interfering with the investigation. so that can be a form of obstruction, and obviously selling pardons is also a federal crime. >> i want to just inform the conversation around -- these are open questions. trump is running for president again. this is looking back at what the culture of pardons is like in the final days. this is thanks to the january 6th select committee. >> and are you aware of any members of congress? >> mr. gaetz and mr. brooks i know have both advocated for there to be a blanket pardon for members involved in that meeting, and a handful of other members that weren't at the decembe

. - michael flynn, the disgraced former general, you know, and a group of lawyers who probably couldn'tany damn thing. they're willing to say that the deceased president of venezuela somehow orchestrated a way to steal ballots and fly them to germany? - the dominion voting systems, the smartmatic technology software, were created in venezuela at the direction of hugo chavez. - it's loony, but so is qanon, and people believe that. - we let this happen, we're gonna become venezuela. - at one point, rudy giuliani decides they were gonna do a press conference at the four seasons, but their operation is so incompetent, they wind up at, like, i think it might be, like, a massage parlor. - yes, the four seasons. but it was, like, the four seasons laundromat. - four seasons total landscaping. they end up at four seasons total landscaping. apologies to four seasons. you are not a massage parlor. you're a landscaping company. - there are dead people voting. will smith's father has voted here twice since he died. - just everything's going wrong. i mean, rudy giuliani at one point has, like, hair d

this is the same charge that was leveled against trump team members like general michael flynn.ent after the trump campaign team for farah violations, but at the same time setting up shell companies to take money from overseas deals with nations like china. what do you think? >> i think it is a garbage charge. it was garbage when they tried to use it against the trump team. no one gets prosecuted by fara violations. this steaming pile of evidence dropped on the fbi, in 2019, given everything we know now, certainly at minimum suggests serious public corrupt -- corruption, yet what we hear doj will come up with a fara violation or lying on tax form buying a gun. really? wonder what all the hlcs what they were doing, not the fact they were not registering what they were doing, who was doing what for the money. liz: stay on that. emails and texts reports we're seeing looking at footnotes in the government documents, they used shell companies to act as a middleman to act as go between with nations like chain, where china wanted to bid on federal and state infrastructure projections.

correct and mike turner is correct to take it back to the russia collusion, delusion, going back to michael flynnt from a constitutionalist perspective, we need to see antony blinken frankly impeached. i think it's long overdue to see articles of impeachment filed against him. he is obviously the guy at the center of this. we're not hearing enough about antony blinken himself. maria: that's true. you know, we're going to see potentially a testimony from him because i know that the house oversight wants to speak with him as does judiciary. meanwhile, explosive charges yesterday. james comer joined me and said that the white house is intimidating informants and whistleblowers and one of the informants may be missing. here's what he told me yesterday on sunday morning futures. incredible. watch. >> nine of the 10 people that we've identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the bidens, they're one of three things. maria, they're either currently in court, they're currently in jail, or they're currently missing. they fear for their lives. not only are the biden lawyers and the buy done w

featured speakers include former michael flynn, mypillow conspiracy theorist mike lindell and many moreo have repeatedly promoted literally pro hitler propaganda. the first, scott mccay, he hosts a streaming show on rumble, where he among other things promotes a bizarre anti-semitic conspiracy theory about what these particular antisemites call the kazarian mob. that is the adl describes it as a theory involving certain kinds of jews who had a secret agenda to undermine society, enrich themselves at the expense of others, blah, blah, blah. t i'm going to show you the clip. i'm doing so reluctantly, but i think it is important that you see and hear what this guy is saying about jews. >> people are going to learn a lot about the world war ii and hitler and the nazis. they're going to learn about hitler was actually fighting the same people that we're trying to take down today. again, history is written by quote, unquote the winners. these people are so, so elusive and slippery and cunning. and capable that we ended up having world war ii afterwards and the nazis won the war. the kazarian

of a bunch of his right-wing advisers, including his disgraced formal national security adviser michael flynnse martial law. do they think all of these people would still be saying it was a joke or would they have acted as trump's army? these judges and juries of their peers are finding that this was not a joking matter. this was an absolutely serious attempt to overthrow our government we can only be grateful that the rule of law has held to the point that we now have hundreds of convictions that have taken place. more than 1000 arrests that have taken place, and the investigation continues. the largest investigation by the department of justice in american history. and so the justice system is working but everybody is still waiting for the question to be answered, which i think i posed at the very last meeting of the january 6th committee, which is are we going to become a country where the foot soldiers and the lower downed ringleaders go to jail, but the masterminds and reeling ringleaders at the top a stay free or go golfing in scotland or ireland? that is the big question. >> well congr

of a bunch of his right-wing advisers, including his disgraced formal national security adviser michael flynn to impose martial law. do they think all of these people would still be saying it was a joke or would they have acted as trump's army? these judges and juries of their peers are finding that this was not a joking matter. this was an absolutely serious attempt to overthrow our government we can only be grateful that the rule of law has held to the point that we now have hundreds of convictions that have taken place. more than 1000 arrests that have taken place, and the investigation continues. the largest investigation by the department of justice in american history. and so the justice system is working but everybody is still waiting for the question to be answered, which i think i posed at the very last meeting of the january 6th committee, which is are we going to become a country where the foot soldiers and the lower downed ringleaders go to jail, but the masterminds and reeling ringleaders at the top a stay free or go golfing in scotland or ireland? that is the big question. >> we

michael flynn, newt gingrich, lindsey graham, he doesn't seem to be in that much trouble. mark meadows, brad raffensperger, he's a person who also said no. john eastman, who was one of the architects of the scheme, cleta mitchell, who we know is also an arctic of that kind of stuff, and david schaefer. is there someone on that list who should be particularly worried? >> i think john eastman should be worried, david schaefer should be worried and the recording is telling us ehe should be worried. >> he's the georgia republican party chairman. donald trump is going to speak at the republican party in georgia. >> he doesn't have an immunity deal. he was split off from a group of electors earlier this year because there was a perceived conflict. that means that he could face some exposure. that likely means he could have exposure here that others in that group didn't, even before we were talking about possible immunity deals. >> hugo, let me bring you in here. donald trump is supposed to address the georgia republican party, the republican party in georgia put aside brian kemp

foreign lobbying law that the biden team and obama used to go after trump's team like general michael flynnd off-balance sheet shell companies reportedly to hide and bury the money flows from their overseas deals in china and russia to avoid registering as porn agents. what was he -- as foreign agents. what was he abe with antony blinken? >> that's a very good question. we do know increasingly the hunter biden scandal doesn't involve just joe biden anymore. antony blinken was the person who instigated the letter from the former intelligence agency officials, that infamous letter from 51 former intelligence chiefs saying the hard drive is misinformation, it's russian, it's b.s., don't believe it, and that came from antony blinken. the real question i want to the ask him if he's ever under oath is who asked you to reach out to those officials? elizabeth: right. but bury the laptop that has the information about antony blinken talking to hunter biden. was hunter biden talking about how the biden family wanted to make money in overseas deals with our adversaries in china and russia? was antony

iowa, he called in to a christian nationalist conspiracy theory conference hosted by the likes of michael flynn tour in which he placed a phone call to that crowd of folks here and these are the types of loyalists that he has attempted to placate over the course of the last 28 months and that he's looking to hold on to. >> i want you to listen what to chris sununu had to say about trump to jen psaki over the weekend. >> you don't have to beat donald trump on policy. the guy has massive insecurities, he's a loser and lost many times. >> you think the best argument is he's a loser? >> yes, because he can't win. >> we're hearing this theme come up over and over. despite that, mr. trump is pulling ahead of desantis. what's it going to take for desantis to gain ground as he prepare to jump in? >> trump polling about 40 points ahead of desantis. listen, this narrative of being a loser might be correct but that's a dangerous narrative in republican politics because when donald trump gets the microphone, he'll say i was the president who gave you the supreme court that overruled roe, i gave you tax cut

they start investigating george papadopoulos and mike michael flynn and carter page.tart looking into their background. nothing verified. where did you get this information. no one went out of their way to find out where this investigation was going. next thing you know they launch this into the trump campaign. never told trump and paul manafort the fourth. i got four of your guys investigating to see if possible links to russia where when they had a problem hillary clinton emails gave them a defensive briefing about russia possibly infiltrating the election. never did it to trump. next thing you know they launch it into trump. this thing happened during the campaign through when trump won, was president-elect and then through his first two years in between the mueller report gets launched. lives get ruined. our relations with russia is destroyed and the president, whatever you think he accomplished and he accomplished a lot. think about what more he could have done had he just been treated like a normal president and not investigated like he is a convicted criminal.

that is michael flynn. you have to be pardoned after you like to the fbi about russia contacts. he went on to turn over the election results. he's not alone. the will wake in america tour is a who's who of election deniers and insurrectionists sympathizers. eric trump, his wife laura trump, roger stone, the foam pillow salesman, sydney powell, peter navarro -- as rachel maddow reported on monday, that light up previously included two virulent antisemites. they have since been booted from the tour or at least the stop at the republican presidential front runner resulted florida, but no credit is due because you should not actively have to disinvite hitler fans from your event. look, illiberalism, conspiracy theories, racism, antisemitism, they've all been around forever. they're not modern inventions. they're not even american inventions. what is different, there is a really weird overlap going on. extremists can be armed. they can now obtain deadly weapons very easily. one year ago, a white supremacist murder ten black people at a buffalo supermarket because they were black peop

but if it's michael flynn, or if it's congressman jeff fortenberry or if it's steve bannon, he's morehan happy to pursue his political opponents. for lying charges or other process charges. >> just another example. of the double standard that merrick garland has when it comes to law enforcement. yeah, they have the zeal to go after someone like a van. and of course. but senators markey and warren, your colleagues, apparently they don't care about any of this. they're standing with rollins. their statement that they released reads in part, rachel rollins has for years dedicated herself to the people of massachusetts and equal justice under the law. senator , it's official. i mean, standards, the dignity that biden promised, that's all out the window. it's about raw power for these people. >> and i think a lot of the reasons why those democrats stood by rachel rollins, even after we raised those red flags, so much so that it took kamala harris coming in and breaking a tie vote for a mere u.s. attorney position is that she's part of the george soros left wing activist network of anti law

obviously when you're looking at the michael, flynn's and the lindsay grams of, the world and the rudypeople at the top are people who definitely are worthy of concern. but i also have to say that i've been seeing for a long time that when you talk about mark meadows, for example, he is someone who has escaped the notion of being able to testify. or having to testify. and when you think about him having different types of pressure applied in different ways, that is a different conversation because of his proximity to former president donald trump. so that is another one that i'm particularly interested in seeing what happens. >> a lot of people join you in that particular point. , what other rumblings you're hearing from trump about georgia? are trump's attorneys at all concerned about comments that he could make when he is at a georgia rally in the coming weeks? those comments that could put him in legal jeopardy? i mean, look at the things he said about e. jean carroll during the cnn town hall. one day after being found with -- not guilty, but liable for the chargers and the things h

i mean, people like michael flynn, people like roger stone, these are the people who make that reawaken anti-semitism all the way through. and they give it a tinge of religion in order to somewhat sort of try to dignify it. and you know, in other places, in other venue, we might think that this is awful. but this is not any other venue. this is a trump venue. and it gives it and an element of legitimacy. so it is great that they are taken off the agenda, but there are so many others. and giving any legitimacy to people who are so awful, who really degrade the public conversation, we should expect more i think of our former presidents. >> and so eric trump responded to rachel maddow's program and he said this, rachel maddow is walking a fine line. we're the most pro israel family. from the abraham accords, moves the embassy to jerusalem, to sanctioning iran, no one has done more for israel than our family. never mind that my sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephews happen to be proud jews. if she or anyone else suggests that i'm anti-semitic i will not hesitate to take legal action pers

one such ally was lieutenant general michael flynn, trump's former national security adviser, and onenother central figure with ties to this network of extremist groups was roger stone, a political consultant and confidant of president trump. he pardoned flynn and stone in the weeks between the election on november 3rd and january 6th. in the same timeframe, stone commuicated with both the proud boys and the oath keepers regularly. >> it's an interesting part of this story. he's going to jail for 18 years because he was convicted by a jury of the extraordinary crime of seditious conspiracy, and as ryan just reported, if it trump is reelected, he will be pardoned. >> let's just hope that doesn't happen. i think this is a really important sentence. and i think i wasn't in the courtroom, but i read extensive reporting about the judge's comments. i also read a descrip of what stewart rhodes was saying. he does remain unre pen tant. i'm not surprised. because not only did he engage in extensive planning from the time of the election up until the actual insurrection and beyond, intending to

of justice regarding how they should handle cases against his close allies like roger stone and michael flynnardoned. there have been numerous other reports of laughs and ethics within the trump era department of justice, and allegations of decisions that were more than just lapses. and in a book published last year, jeffrey berman, a former u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, alleged that the justice department pressured's office to pursue cases against trump critics, and to scrub references to quote, individual one, meaning donald trump in a charging document. but this sort of abuse and weaponization of the government is far from unprecedented, in the 1950s, the fbi under j edgar hoover launched co intel pro, a series of operations secretly collected information about american citizens, and harassed those considered to be critics of the government, including civil rights leader dr. martin luther king junior. and perhaps the closest parallel to the current moment is watergate, the scandal that brought down richard nixon when it was exposed that he was involved in covering up
