. >> renato mariotti, let's talk about the evidence collected here. the committee faced a months long legal battle to secure john eastman's emails. i would know from your experience, the sheer amount of legal footwork being done by the committee and the staff behind the scenes, is this kind of evidence worth the wait and what we have seen come out of it so far? >> i think so. i think with eastman, the committee has to be commended that they want the extra mile. we heard all through the hearings about that ruling from judge carter out in california, the federal judge who made findings. he issued a remarkable ruling, finding that it was more likely than not, obviously a lower standard than a criminal case, a significant finding that there was criminal activity between trump and eastman, and released emails, including some under the crime fraud exception. to me, in many ways, the committee is doing the work that you would ordinarily expect from the justice department. it really suggests to me that the justice department had reservations and concerns that

let's discuss this with renato mariotti, a former columnist for political and jill wine-banks, watergate prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst. it's good to have you with us. joe, i would like to start with you and get your reaction to both hearings this week. do you think that the committee successfully outlined the extent to which donald trump and his allies like john eastman knew and were aware that what they were doing was illegal? >> i think that they have done a brilliant job, that they left no doubt for any person who was watching, any person that cared about the facts, that they knew that they were lying, they knew they were violating the law, that they were part of a much broader conspiracy to overturn the election than just january six. this is part of the entire scheme, not just the big lie, not just the violence, but the calls the georgia, all the other efforts made to other states to get them to issue fixed eighths of electors, all of that and then the most searing information, i thought, was about vice president pence and the pressure they put on him and the danger they subjec

. >>> analysis now from renato mariotti what piece of information for you stood out most last night? >> i was very interested in liz cheney's statements about the letter that mr. clark drafted at the justice department to georgia officials that liz cheney said was false, and she also said that donald trump was behind and i think if that's actually the case, if they can actually prove that up, that in many ways is a much more straightforward case to make and could carry some significant liability for the former president >> on witnesses, we're supposed to hear from some top officials in the justice department. in your estimation, how important will their testimony be >> i think it will be crucial because we heard a lot of stuff, for example, about what happened at the capitol, you know, and the actions of the proud boys and the oath keepers and so forth, but there's no -- i don't think there's at least evidence that we have been told about thus far that directly connects trump to, for example, coordinating their activities or working with others to do so, you know, in terms of being h
