later a walk in the park with congressman jamie raskin. we talk shakespeare battling cancer and how he copes with tragedy wells fighting for democracy. >> so, on friday judge aileen cannon announced at the trial in the classified documents case is set to take place on may 20th of next year. if you just did a little bit of math there, you are right that fall smack in the middle of the heat of the 2024 presidential campaign. it means that trump could already be the presumptive nominee by the time he goes to trial. not only that, it means he could be convicted and even sentence before election day. this raises all sorts of questions, frankly, there are questions that we as a country have never had to grapple with before. we are going to try to dig into some of those today on this show. also this week, special counsel jack smith and form trump that he is a target in the january 6th investigation. i want to have a sidebar on that for a moment. i'm guilty of this too. we all need to stop short handing this case as the january 6th investigation.

up next, my conversation with jamie raskin during a walk in the park.iding with the most important work he's ever done. we will be right back. be right back. our heritage is ingrained in our skin. and even when we metamorphosize into our new evolved form, we carry that spirit with us. because you can take alfa romeo out of italy. but you best believe, you can't take the italy out of an alfa romeo. ♪♪ open talenti and raise the jar to gelato made from scratch. raise the jar to flavors from the world's finest ingredients. and now, from jars to bars. new talenti gelato and sorbetto mini bars. ♪♪ hi, my name's steve. i lost 138 pounds on golo and sorbetto mini bars. and i kept it off. so with other diets, you just feel like you're muscling your way through it. the reason why i like golo is plain and simple, it was easy. i didn't have to grit my teeth and do a diet. golo's a lifestyle change and you make the change and it stays off. golo's changed my life in so many ways. i sleep better, i eat better. took my shirt off for the first time in 25 years. it'so.

i sat down with congressman jamie raskin for a deep dive into all of the legal perils surrounding the former president, and that is coming up first. plus football coach turned senator tommy tuberville is single-handedly holding up hundreds of military promotions over his opposition to the pentagon's abortion policy. congressman abigail spanberger joins me to discuss why it is jeopardizing our national security and later pga tour officials testify in a heated senate hearing on the merger with a savvy funded liv golf. a new phase of sports watching has begun, the question is, what comes next? >> if you can't be, to delay it. that pretty much sums up donald trump's legal strategy right now. this week the former president and his lawyers asked a federal judge to indefinitely postpone his trial over his mishandling of classified information. in their filing they have the gall to argue that the case presents a serious challenge to both the facts and perception of our american democracy. american democracy, and they say that any trial during the presidential election will impact the outcome.

the evidence about the jamie raskin interaction where he goes inside an elements ri ary schoor the raskin to live in effing fear of me. he's very targeted in who he's going after. he then begins to live stream his presence in the area where president obama lives, and that is when the secret service is able to identify him, they essentially just finally see him and then realize it's their guy. he runs. the car is loaded with everything. it is not someone who is just there to make a point, with lots of ammunition the car is loaded. and then you get the arrest. so what we're seeing, actually, is just the information related to january 6th and why he cannot be let go out of prison. he's a clear and present danger to lots of people. there will be more evidence coming out about this particular investigation and how he got animated by social media and clearly by what trump posted about the area that president obama lived in. >> juliette kayyem, thank you. >> thank you. >>> also tonight, mass shootings are a uniquely american crisis, and they spiked higher on the fourth of july this year than any

he went to -- he got into an area near an elementary school, near raskin's home.n, what is the sense of why it did take them so long to find him beyond the fact that he didn't have a fixed address? >> right, it was the fixed address aspect of it. they are monitoring him for some periods of time. it is a live streaming, it is the threats, him showing up at places, the evidence about the jamie raskin interaction where he goes to an elementary, inside an elementary school that is near the raskin home, and, basically, says i want him to live in effing fear of me. he is very targeted and who he is going after. he then begins to livestream his presence in the area, where president obama lives. that is when the secret services able to identify him. they essentially finally see him and realize it's their guy. he runs, the car is loaded with everything, it is not someone who is there to make a point. with lots of ammunition, the car is loaded, and you get to the arrest. what we are seeing, actually, is the information related to january 6th, and why he cannot be let out of

it is good to have you congressman raskin. what do you make of all of this?ll this will be the big mystery, whistleblower witness who is finally going to redeem the last six months of wasted effort and failures in republican investigations on the oversight committee. suddenly, the whole country knows now that the reason he was missing is because he is a fugitive from the u.s. government fleeing these charges. making false statements, being in arms trafficker, trying to set up this chinese arms for iranian oil deals. then also, failing to register as a foreign agent. you know, a series of multiple felonies and it's extraordinary to me as i was leaving the capitol this evening to learn that my colleagues rather than simply going home and trying to ride out the news day are doubling down now. saying that the department of justice is going after him because of the wealth of information that he presumably has to give them about i don't know what. their previous failed efforts at getting joe biden the suspicious activities reports that went nowhere. revealed nothin

and jamie raskin has been part of both of those inquiries.uring the second impeachment and he was a member of the january 6th congressional investigation and congressman jamie raskin joins me now. you know a lot about these cases. we are obviously digesting a lot of news, including this new indictment today but as we think about the potential indictment of trump for his role in trying to overturn the election, do you still expect we will see one by the end of this week? >> well, i have never thought that it was going to be coming that soon. but, you know, i doubt that they would be pressed up so close to against each other. but that is next week or later on■l■l■l■l■l■l■l■l■l■l■lxr in a. might also make him want to give some space between it even if they have other pieces they are working on? >> well, yes. i imagine that the special counsel is busy focused on the addition of these new charges. this thing is like a classic h■1(7Ñ recording from the indictment is that, is this word document where trump has already on record, has been recorded on

and to make that case, the only person i wanted to talk to was congressman jamie raskin. he's the ranking member of the house oversight committee. he was a member of the january 6th select committee. he served as the lead impeachment manager in the second impeachment trial of donald trump. and i think he has a very deep understanding of exactly why it is important that this happen. congressman, it's good to see you again. you must have for this. i don't know if you hear this in your circles. but people are saying, this has been litigated. you had an impeachment. it was determined. it is done, it's over, we need to move on as a country, we need to unite as a country. but, in fact, tonight, kari lake, and arizona continues to lie about the election. donald trump continues to lie about the election. and in truth no one has faced the consequences about lying about this election and undermining democracy. >> well, the political scientists will tell you that the single biggest predictor of a coup coming is a recently failed to, where the coup plotters are able to determine what

raskin: dr. ferrera provided the roster via email and see the agenda and bottom box in red the roster. and dr. assigned himself the role in defining the focus of the role and accomplishing next steps afterwards. neither dr. fauci nor dr. collins were assigned rolls. it looks like it was dr. call, is that how you remember it? >> that is correct. mr. raskin: what recommendations did they make or just listen? >> they mostly did just listen and had little to offer on the science. mr. raskin: you said you began with the initial hype these is there may have been a lab leak. how did you change your mind? the thinking evolved tore rapidly discount that idea and inconsistent with the available evidence. the idea of a lab leak can be many different things and i'll continue that and i was convinced that maybe it was culture and from there and realized that is also unsupported. and that is what led the the conclusion. mr. raskin: i have your paper in which you write, our analyses that sars covid 2 is not a a

that is when jamie raskin -- he almost threw it away as a bit of an aside. tried to blow this whole thing out of the water that by saying what he believes this is all about is a disagreement between investigators and prosecutors. you tweeted out about this idea, jamie raskin tries to school these two whistle-blowers on prosecutorial discretion. i mean, obviously we know what he is trying to do here, but does he have a point? >> well, i was stunned when raskin said what you are about to hear is perfectly normal. and he was sitting in front of two witnesses who are incredibly credible and forthcoming. and they are saying that this was anything but normal. they had never encountered anything like this before. they were waved off witnesses. they had targets tipped off before searches occurred. they had an agreement with prosecutors on multiple fel felonies. they describe how there was knowing a decision to allow crimes in 2014, 2152 expired because of the statute of limitations. what was amazing what shapley said there was an agreement on the table to extend tha

congressman jamie raskin of maryland. congressman raskin, thank you for being here. it's impossible to look at where we are today without remembering all of the work you and the committee did. what is your feeling, as we learn the news, that there is a likely federal criminal indictment coming down for the 45th president? >> well, i'm thinking about some of the people whose careers were permanently altered by these events. i'm thinking about my friend liz cheney, who was the third ranking person, i think, in a republican caucuses the chair of the republican congress, who ended up losing her seat because she stood up for the truth. i am thinking about elaine gloria, my colleague from virginia who lost her seat, after c stood up for the truth against the january 6th insurrection. adam kinzinger is no longer in congress right now. i mean, i am thinking up about a lot of the officers, too. i am thinking about sergeant gonell and immigrants to america from the dominican republic whose high school class came to visit the capital. and he met some capitol police, and decided

democrat congressman jamie raskin question legitimacy of the house oversight committee.s his problem with the committee? >> the leading democrat on the house oversight committee and his problem with it is james,. >> legitimacy is being eroded by tactics adopted by chairman color. essentially said we will validate anybody who was say anything about the biden's. >> the tactics we are using in the house oversight committee is using a thing called evidence is something jamie raskin's has no concept of and the democrat liberal media will not consider. >> evidence being bank records, shell companies and as you mentioned before, one of the whistleblowers reveals themselves and testifies before the committee tomorrow. stuart: they go to guys and blocked in their investigation. a quick check of futures, wednesday morning, a little bit of red ink -- it's tuesday next tuesday all day. stuart: we just confirmed it's tuesday. a little bit of red ink, get me out of this the opening bell next. ♪ i was told my small business wouldn't qualify for an erc tax refund. you should get a secon

>> the tactics we're using, we are using evidence, something jamie raskin has no concept of and liberal media will not consider. we have biden bank records and bank violations from six banks that reported they felt like the biden family was laundering money through shell companies and they were concerned that wires were from state-owned entities, thatten moos from the government, the chinese communist party. i don't think raskin or jen psaki can produce one thing that cannot be backed up by facts in hard evidence from bank record and bank violations for the biden family. >> laura: congressman jordan, you sent a letter to mark zuckerberg, which reads in part, given meta censured free speech, the committee is concerned about first amendment violations that will occur on the threads platform and according to fox business, you are strongly considering holding zuckerberg in contempt of congress, will you really move forward on this? >> if he doesn't give us the information, we will. threads is using same as facebook used. laid out 86 pages and other big tech companies we don't want this goin

here are comments from jamie raskin about the investigation. >> our legitimacy is being erode by chairmanthey said we will validate anybody who will say anything about the bidens and they have not laid a glove on president biden. there are real issues confronting people and they are off on a wild goose chase. >> cheryl: james comer responding to his comments on "the ingraham angle" watch. >> i don't think jamie raskin or jen psaki can point to one thing we produced or put on oversight stationary that cannot be backed up by hard evidence from bank record and bank violations for the biden family. >> cheryl: to be clear, the whistleblower alleging and saying basically hunter biden and family were tipped off. hunter biden was never interviewed. >> carley: that is what the whistleblower said and supervisory special agent saying that did happen that hunter biden and the secret service were tipped off and the interview never happened. you have to wonder why. >> todd: whistleblowers, especially shapley could not be more buttoned up and perfect in presentation and sources they have, they will be t

congress member bush and crockett as well as her ranking raskin. really pleased you've called us here today and provided an opportunity for these amazing people to give their perspective on what is a critical issue. the one thing i want to start out by saying this is not just a women's issue. as a man who has five children four girls care incredibly about the future of our children, boys and girls. watched five pregnancies and deliveries. this is not isolated to women's rights. this is individual rights. individual freedoms and i am very proud to be here to stand with all of you as we continue this fight. i want to highlight because the lawyer in me gets a little amped up about medication abortion and a lot of the cases that are going around the country and the regulatory scheme. congresswoman chu andwo i wrotea letter to five retail pharmacies to ask them why they have not begun the process of getting certified to distribute pursuant to the fda's new regulations that came out in january. medication abortion as you all know i haven't been here the

raskin, you know, his department said, pretty much everything his department said.ealing with, excuse me, dealing with january 6 and with russian collusion, pretty much the same thing. he did the same thing. also with david weiss, saying that he's a trump appointee. we forget president obama appointed him in 2009 as attorney general and the only reason trump picked him is because the democrat senators in delaware urged trump that he's a good pick. trump is not good with picking people anyway. point being, they gave information about hunter biden and luck, joe biden himself january 23 of 2018 said you are not going to get the billion dollars to the son of the sob and got fired, and he bragged about that at the council. i watched the whole way he did that. both of these guys, trump and biden, they pretty much loath guilty of the same thing. republicans are guilty of it. democrats are guilty of it. both sides guilty of the same thing. we got to stop this picking sides stuff and stop trying to make justifications for things. i'm not saying this because i hate. there's j

i want to thank cory bush, crockett as well as oversight ranking member raskin. it means a world to be here today. this opportunity is bigger than me. this is about my community. just over a year ago when the dobbs decision overturned roe v wade, missouri was one of the first states in the country to make providing abortion care a felony and criminal offense. the only abortion allowed our medical emergencies. it is still not very clear on the definition of what that a medical emergency is. it is very significant, as you heard. the story falls right in this gray area. january 20, 2023, i was rushed off to the er for severe blood loss. in and out of consciousness in the lobby for several minutes as blood began dripping down my leg. i sat in that wheelchair and instead of thinking about survival, i thought about not going to jail. i told myself to make sure you tell the staff that you are having a miscarriage, but i knew i was having an abortion. i also knew that that medication pill needed to be taken orally because it showed up like a miscarriage in front of the d

so i i don't think that jamie raskin or jen psaki can point to one thing that we produced. thing that we put on oversight stationery that cannot be backed up by facts in the form of hard evidence from bank records and bank violations for the biden family. >> laura: congressman jordan, you sent a letter, i know, today to mark zuckerberg. >> yes. >> laura: i love this already which reads in part given that meta has vete censored protected speech government agency's request. the committee is concerned about potential first amendment violations that will occur on the threads platform and according to fox business, you are strongly considering holding zuckerberg in contempt of congress? are you going to really move forward on this on or about is this just a bunch of -- >> if he doesn't give us the information we will. threads is using the same guidelines that facebook used. we know facebook was censoring americans because a federal court told us so two weeks ago. laid out 86 pages of facts with facebook and federal agencies pressuring them and other big tech companies. so we wan

. >> alexandria: jamie raskin is taking offense to the committee strategy when it comes to the hunter biden probe. >> our legitimacy is being eroded by the tactics adopted by chairman comer. we will validate anybody who says anything about the bidens and have not laid a glove on president biden. there are issues and they are off on a wild goose chase. >> alexandria: congressman comer responded last night. >> i don't think jamie raskin or jen psaki can show one thing we produced that cannot be backed up by hard evident by the biden family. >> this as hunter biden awaits plea hearing scheduled for next wednesday. >> steve: quick question for you. with two whistleblowers, one known, gary shapley, will they appear on television or will we be able to see the testimony? >> alexandria: we've heard how his identity will be known and there are portions of previous deposition that did name him. more of reveal than his name and text. >> steve: thank you for the live report. >> ainsley: former fbi super supervisory special agent assigned to biden special investigation and the whistleblower says i

. >> now, congressman jamie raskin of maryland, the top democrat on the house oversight panel, picked part the claims by republicans in a lengthy statement, quote, this fbi document records the unverified, secondhand years old allegations laid by a confidential source who stated he could not provide the voracity of these allegations. raskin also highlights the source of the information was at the center of a pressure campaign by rudy giuliani in 2019 and 2020 on behalf of then president trump and when interviewed the source directly denied these allegations. meanwhile the white house slammed the release of the document in a statement, calling out republicans for pushing claims that had been debunked for years. meanwhile democratic presidential candidate robert f. kennedy jr. testified yesterday before the republican led house weaponization committee about censorship in an extremely contentious hearing. kennedy said he felt he was being targeted online by speaking on his views on the covid-19 vaccine. specifically he said until the covid vaccines were development he and his children we

the top democrat on the house oversight committee, jamie raskin saying the hearing today is more politicalining us now is a republican member of that committee, congressman pete sessions of texas, who no doubt disagrees with jamie raskin on that. sir, you heard the claims from these whistle-blowers. it is very much the crux of their argument here or their claims here for their testimony that david weiss, the u.s. attorney in delaware, was ham strung by higher-ups at the doj. david weiss said that is not true. is weiss lying? >> well, the question at hand is very simple, and that is did these two lead investigators who worked for the irs, were they arbitrarily duped or did they -- were they somehow fooled? and the bottom line is they have explicit emails, conversations, and discussions that took place over years. these were two men who worked for the internal revenue service. they've taken the oath of office that all federal employees do. and then they found out that what was being handled was they were being lied to. and then once they pushed their case, they then were mishandled as whistl

an elementary school in maryland, because they believed it was close to the home of representative raskintrump. this man will be livestreaming himself inside the elementary school, posted about raskin one of the people who hate january 6th, and last week had livestreams posted on a youtube 9:00, where one said he wanted to detonate a bomb in his van outside a federal building, and then again he was found outside of the obama neighborhood in the neighborhood where the obamas live, wanting to find him as well. he was picked up by the secret service there. >> after the former president put on his social media platform what he reported to be president obama's address. thank you for the reporting. thank you for joining "inside politics."

raskin made theage cyst it may not be possible to achieve the prosecution's burden of proof. but do you believe the incitement should be a charge that somebody like jack smith should pursue? >> only if he thinks he has evidence that can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. clearly that's what then-president trump did. but whether it can be proven with the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, that's a judgment he needs to make. clearly he had a multifaceted effort to try and hold on to power by preventing the election from being certified and counted, whether he incited the riot. but the prosecutor has to make the judgment. i'm not going to be second-guessing him. clearly the american public knows what then president trump did. >> so, congresswoman, some of the viewers may not know this, and i found it to be fascinating when i was preparing tonight. you have been through three in the meantimes during your time in congressman. >> actually, four. >> four, i'm sorry. the nixon, the clinton, the trump, right, two. >> trump was two. >> as we know. my question for you is this -- again

raskin is just -- what are you going to do when you're a defense attorney? you deflect.oss say this is worse than watergate. as i've said on numerous occasions, richard nixon didn't commit a crime, the people around him did. he covered it up. the people around joe biden are committing crimes and he's covering it up. the fbi and doj is so dirty and merrick garland is such a dirty cop, they're protecting crime. they're job is to uncover crime. our job is to oversight on the executive branch and that's what we're doing. cheryl: there's a new fox news op-ed, the critical court deadline that will determine hunter biden's fate. you write on july 26 the federal judge is going to have to decide whether to accept the politically charged sweetheart plea deal, cooked up which ag garland or apply the facts and postpone the matter, the sweetheart deal that hunter biden got or the gun charge. >> we have two days. thank you, cheryl. i did this op-ed because, look, i'm an attorney. i can't talk to the judge. i could do an amicus brief. we want the american people to know they're trying

committee investigators about a heated gathering at the oval office, that committee member jamie raskin quote, the craziest meeting of the trump presidency. cnn reports special counsel jack smith's team is now questioning witnesses about that december 2020 meeting. during which trump considered some of the more desperate proposals to stay in power, including using the u.s. military as voting machines. according to the wall street journal, smith has shifted the focus of his election interference investigation to lawyers like sydney powell who was in that meeting. powell infamously spread basis baseless election fraud claims, even suggesting the venezuelan president hugo chavez helped change the result. another top target, rudy giuliani who met with jack smith's team last week. the general ports that giuliani was interviewed for eight hours, was asked about john eastman, the architect of trump's strategy to stop congress from certifying joe biden's election when. when. let's bring back our panel. -- i want to start with you. we just learned that -- trump lawyers like giuliani reportedly a

i think jamie raskin put it very clearly last night. amongst trump supporters, it's no valid point at which you could possibly attempt to hold them to account, because he is either president or he's running for president or he will be president again. >> that is exactly right. it seems that he is trying to carve out a new protection. we already know that the justice department has a policy of not pursuing criminal action against a sitting president. he wants to extend that to cover anybody who might be president, who is president, who perhaps was president. and you can establish ex presidents, anything he can to avoid accountability at this stage while, at the same time, using the investigation as political fuel to try to rev up his supporters to say, look, i am being attacked. there after me because they're after you. he is trying to use this as both a shield and a sword in a way that is really remarkable and unprecedented. >> i think that they are after me because they are after you, barbara, is an interesting theme. it is manifested

he was saying similar things about jamie raskin. this is not -- this is playing with fire. >> it is, indeed. if you need any more, right, inquiry into how dangerous this could be, do you remember speaker pelosi's husband, and remember what happened as it related to that, right? it could have been a lot worse. i think, at th day, right, wpers where he shouldn a person with d intentions, when you have all the things that add up to someone, and i won't say mischief, but certainly a person who was there with bad intentions who could do something, that is pretty substantial, i think, certainly, we could see charges emanating from this. we know january six -- >> like what? what kinds of things? >> listen, the bottom line is, obviously, it's a trespassed, we know that, he is in a neighborhood community he shouldn't be. this consciousness of guilt, as it relates to him flighting, right? why are you running if you weren't doing anything wrong? you know that they recovered things from his car. were those authorized? where they'the inquiry int

this week the oversight committees ranking member, jamie raskin made public the transcript of a 2019ergy firm -- the man who republicans claim bribed joe biden. according to that transcript, -- no one from his firm quote, ever had contacts with vice president biden. let that sink down, folks, that same day james comer appeared on fox and was pressed to name a policy that president biden change after receiving money from foreign sources. >> make it easy for us. what was that crime? >> a crime was traded policy for money. >> which policy? >> we're gonna get into that. >> wow. you know you have a problem when you've lost fox, folks. as we said on this, republicans aren't gonna let the facts or even lack of evidence get in their way of spreading conspiracy theories. after all, it's been the republican playbook for decades. as michael thomas kyi writes in the new york public, this is what they do, they told 50 lies about bill clinton. none of them have been proven. he made no money from whitewater. he did not protest the vietnam war in front of the kremlin. they lied about al gore. they n

wild goose chase. >> congressman comer responded to that last night. >> i don't think that jamie raskin or jen psaki can point to one thing that we have produced, one thing that we put oversight stationary that cannot be backed up by facts in the form of hard evidence from bank records and bank violations from the biden family. >> this comes as hunter biden awaits his plea hearing on tax related misdemeanors that is scheduled for next wednesday. steve, ainsley, brian, we will send it back to you. >> steve: big hearing tomorrow alexandria, thank you very much. the key point there is mr. comer says an fbi agent corroborated what we -- what they had heard from the irs whistleblowers who are going to testify tomorrow. so, this essentially is what gary shapely has said in the past. he said that hunter biden got secret service protection after his father won in december of 2020 on december 3rd. the plan was for the fbi to talk to him on december 8th. and so at 8:00 in the morning, the plan was that the fbi special agent in l.a. would contact the secret service, keep in mind, they were providi

it's what jamie raskin and adam schiff, the two congressman on your screen lead most forcefully in thee fact that jack smith, special counsel may not include that in his list of charges, again, we do not know yet if that is the case, adam schiff and raskin, other members of the committee, people a spoke to, they seem okay with that because they know that smith needs to be very careful, very targeted and these potential charges he's bringing against the former president and despite the other two indictments, this is the one that everyone was most waiting for. of course, members of congress, including the former vice president, mike pence, where in this capital when insurrectionists stormed the building. there is also so much more that went into the potential election interference that we know the former president did and accomplished after 2020. >> julie tsirkin, thank you. if donald trump is indicted in connection to special counsel's investigation into alleged election interference, the daily beast, michael daily, predicts those charges would almost certainly be brought in washington

documents case to go to trial, we've been awaiting the possible ruling, could come anytime, jamie raskinr of the house oversight committee, and lawyer in constitutional law professor and expert, congressman, appreciate you being here. the u.s. district judge that i'm referring to, eileen canning, told prosecutors at the mid december trial date they want would be too soon, obviously delaying it past the election appears to be a core part of trump's strategy, delay it and hopefully it goes away, this is a judge that trump appointed, trump has been on national television calling on her to do the right thing, when you look at it, look at what she has done thus far in the case, do you think she is acting in good faith are being influenced by trump? >> i don't know subjectively what's motivating her, but i do know that trump lawyers are not just in this case is but in cases around the country arguing for any possible delay or postponement to try to push it into next year where they can say surely this can't be done election year, it has to be pushed until after the election. so when he was pre

now, the top democrat on the house oversight committee jamie raskin says he isn't buying it, quote. only political interference at play in this case is taking place right now with donald trump and our g.o.p. colleagues who continue their full-scale assault on the rule of law and our independent justice system. the chairman of the house oversight committee james comer disagrees to put it mildly. >> who is the person that ultimately determines whether or not crimes were committed in the government? that would be what whistleblower x did. we couldn't have a more credible witness. he has won every award that the irs has ever presented to employees. >> has the backing of house speaker kevin mccarthy who is eeagerly awaiting the testimony from the two whistleblowers this afternoon. >> the number one thing we want to do is actually bring justice. time and again, we have shown the american public that if you are biden inc. family, you are treated different than the rest of america. that will not stand. >> and reminder hunter biden's first court date is set for next week for his plea deal on

our ranking member, raskin, summarized this. i don't disrespect you, sir. i think you have a tough view on what you think the law should be. this is why we have a prosecutorial system where you don't get to decide. i don't decide. we have a system. it turns out that often your recommendations on who should be charged differ from some of the other folks and that's what happened in this case. as your testimony here, you yourself said you think mr. weiss should come and explain his decision. you don't question him. i think on the optics issue, that some of my colleagues have brought up, obviously attorney general barr is going to be concerned of the optics when you have a donald trump appointed u.s. attorney potentially bringing charges against his rival son. that's a legitimate thing to do. my view here is we're spending hours on a disagreement about whether to charge them when we have a whole democratic process that does that. you don't get to -- my final question, mr. shapley, you think you should decide who gets charged orb do you think that should be the
