like, i served with -- that's a garbage moment from steve scalise, not only because he knows he's putting federal agents in danger, because the sticking a conspiracy theory based on absolutely nothing. not -- somehow within the fbi there is a rogue agent? that is an absolute conspiracy theory with zero evidence, it's a garbage statement, that it's been repeated -- >> but back to calls for a conspiracy of voter fraud that there is no evidence found. >> it is a denial of reality. a denial of truth, but in this case, steve cookies are putting federal agents in danger. we saw that in cincinnati. we'll continue to see that. listen, i think it's very telling that donald -- trump got a little bit of a glimpse at the powder cake that donald trump might ignite should he ultimately be held accountable by the judiciary, or law enforcement. i found a timeline that donald trump did not issue a complete culture war, politically. he did hold back a little bit. i know i think he knows all it takes is one moment, where someone like donald trump says something like steve scalise says, and says to the ameri

hutchinson once worked for steve scalise, but she is also a familiar face on capitol hill. because she held a prominent role in the white house legislative affairs office. and later was the principal aide to president trump's chief of staff, mark meadows. she spent considerable time up here on capitol hill, representing the trump administration. and we welcome her back. up until now, our hearings have each been organized to address specific elements of president trump's planned overturn the 2020 election. today we are departing somewhat from that model. because ms. hutchinson's testimony touches on several important and crosscutting topics, topics that are relevant to each of our future hearings. in her role working for the white house chief of staff, she handled a vast number of sensitive issues. she worked in the west wing several steps down the hall from the overall office -- from the oval office. she spoke daily with members of congress and high-ranking officials in the administration, with senior white house staff, including mr. meadows. with white house counsel, lawye

extreme rhetoric has made its way into the mainstream discourse of republican leaders, including steve scaliseing and had a little colloquy with steve ducey. let's take a listen to that. >> whatever happened to the republican party backing the blue? and in particular, the 35 members of law enforcement, federal law enforcement, at the fbi? >> yeah, and frankly, we're very strong supporters of law enforcement, and it concerns everybody if you see some agents go rogue, and if you see an agency that doesn't have the right checks and balances at the top. >> steve, who went rogue? they were following a search warrant. >> we want to find that out. we want to find that out and that's why we're asking these questions. >> it's not very often when i find myself cheering on ducey. like, go ducey. we've gone so far that even ducey is kind of challenging steve scalise. steve scalise says, you see some agents go rogue. the factual predicate for that is what, john? >> couple of things. we were talking earlier, you were asking, how does this end? i think this is one of the ways that it ends. there is, in fact,

hours since the fbi search donald trump's home, you can draw directly from what kevin mccarthy, steve scalisetaylor greene, lindsey graham all said, threats against law enforcement the lies that they told about law- enforcement and what these individuals foisted online before he took up arms against the fbi and it's a little personal for me because i have two brothers who are law enforcement officers and we know , these guys are not geniuses, they are targeting law enforcement so they have a lot of people, wearing the uniform who are sitting ducks right now. someone is fired up and being told by kevin mccarthy that these folks are going rogue are these folks are - - not like they're going to look for fbi agents, they will go after any law enforcement officer they see. so they are at risk. this party by the way you told us for so long that they back the blue and they want to defund the police, the when you talk like this it doesn't sound like you are pro-cop. sounds like you are pro-coup. >> congressman, one of the things that i appreciate about you and i follow you on twitter. you're also ver

and when you're talking, as you just sense that republicans are only for some law enforcement, steve scalise, the whip got twisted up over that on fox news just the other day when he was saying that this was unfair and using all sorts of volatile language about what the fbi did at mar-a-lago. peter ducey, steve doocy, excuse me sh pushed back and said what your talking about, i thought you were for law enforcement. so they have gotten tripped up on that. the number of law enforcement that officers and agents they're talking about. the ones they say are okay and not okay. >> catty and one other brief point, there is still this ongoing investigation of the president's son. he's allowed that u.s. attorney to continue who is a trump appointee to continue this investigation going forward. so this guy who was a judge for most his career is trying to swing doj is just not lined up with the facts because he's allowed that investigation of the president's son to go forward. >> david laughman is joining us. chief of the justice department councillor intelligence and export control section where he ove

i think professor oren stein also mentioned the shooting of the republicans or steve scalise, where hewas severely injured. and those who remain maybe unwilling to take on the political challenge of trying to remove somebody who's incapacitated, who's unwilling to say that they're incapacitated. so, you're in the situation under the 1947 act with the vice president, if that person is impaired, if that person is dead, what happens if others down the line of succession are impaired as well? like with the pandemic, with a very serious mass casualty event involving chemical or nuclear weapons? and these are not real hypotheticals because, in fact, you have a situation where things similar to this have happened in the past. i have come very close to happening, particularly with recent events regarding covid and president trump where, in fact, he was much more ill based on the treatments he received then was reported to public. and you can imagine with the superspreader events they had, for example, around the amy coney barrett nomination, that many members of congress could have been impair

>> katy, this morning steve scalise went on fox news and said -- and fox news pushed back to their credit. but said that this is a rogue fbi operation, that the fbi is out of control essentially, and sharply criticized the fbi. i mean, in the overarching story of the house republican leadership, which has stood -- which by the way stands on the precipice of winning the house majority but also stands firmly under any circumstance with donald trump, i mean, this is going to be, if you believe -- and again, having no ideal what was in the search warrantor the property receipt, if he improperly as josh and maggie and others have reported, if he improperly took sensitive documents from the white house and yet you have the republican leadership suggesting that it is -- that one of the chief law enforcement agencies in the united states has gone rogue, it's going to be a horribly embarrassing incident to the house republican leadership. and remember, this is a long time ago, but the last time the republicans took the majority they said they were going to be the sober leaders in this country. we'

i mean, that's not far off from a possibility or a reality that kevin mccarthy and steve scalise, theoreticallyave to contend with in the next eight months or so. i mean, i know it's just a fund-raising ploy at the moment, but i notice beau heinz, a republican who's likely to be a member of congress from north carolina, said we need to defund the fbi. you remember in 2010/2012, the republicans took the idea of defunding the healthcare law, something that could not happen when barack obama was in the white house. this caused government shutdowns and all sorts of legislative calamities, so is there a possibility that this becomes part of that general strategy? i would say that there seems to be an even chance that that could happen if this continues to snowball, and if, by the way, this gets worse for trump, people who are trump-aligned in the house gop, which is 75% of the house republican conference, are they going to look for a scapegoat, and is the fbi that legislative scapegoat? >> that's all really good questions. and carol, you know, you don't have to go -- marjorie taylor greene is a, wel

packed i'll use this as an opportunity to say america reports we've got marco rubio coming on steve scaliset garland's business news conference yesterday when of course he said that these can be unsealed. donald trump had a 3:00 p.m. deadline today to respond. he responded well-ahead of that before midnight last night and said go ahead. there is some questions over why he wouldn't unseal that and show what he was handed from the fbi after the search was conducted on his mar-a-lago estate. he could certainly still do that , but i think we're going to learn a whole lot more here soon on this notion, of this washington post reporting that nuclear weapons are at the center of this search warrant. david: what do you think of that? >> i'll tell you what donald trump thinks of it. it's a hoax just like russia russia russia was a hoax, mueller investigation hoax and much more. same people involved. there was a word in between there that i left out, but he's asking the question, why wouldn't the fbi allow this inspection of the area at mar-a-lago with our lawyers or others present. that's a fair que

there was a moment yesterday when one of the hosts there on the other network started pushing steve scaliseabout, well, why are you attacking the blue so much? you shouldn't attack. republicans are supposed to like the blue. you should back off. a lot of people were puzzled because that particular cable host doesn't generally push back on republican lawmakers much. it makes more sense if the white house was starting to send out these messages -- or the trump orbit telling their media cronies, hey, we better back off here. we have to start, you know -- we're not in the right place here, trying to inflame all this anti-law enforcement rhetoric. there's going to be some bad stuff hitting the fan, as you point out. look, i mean, everyone is talking about -- i totally agree with neal about the brilliance of what garland did yesterday. joe, you and i had this conversation the day before, should garland speak or not? we were texting back and forth about it. the notion they should stick to policy. garland found the perfect way through that yesterday by kind of saying, you know, i have a little bit
