susan glasser of the new yorker reported, quote, the reason that it is so important to show the images of looting and destruction and terror in the capitol yesterday is because the campaign to lie about what happened and rewrite history has already begun. trump's allies in the media and in the halls of congress, sean hannity, laura ingraham and matt gaetz and mo brooks to name a few. after the insurrection, they tried to shift blame and suggest without any evidence that some rioters were not trump supporters summoned by trump but described members of antifa. how do you square that with the fact that these people were encouraged, emailed, invited to attend the rally by trump and the campaign and' dressed them and then adoringly reminded them he loved them back at the white house. he watched them rush the capitol. told them how much he admired their hearts and their strength. the harm that trump wrought was not his alone. conservative columnist george will calls out those who abetted the said they too should wear the sedition. trump lit the fuse of the riot in the weeks before the electi

back with us, david gregory and susan glasser. susan, i don't think that that symbolism and that imagery unimportant, at all. i think that is a very important picture that the american people need to see this morning and it is a crucial gesture from joe biden, even before he begins his presidency. >> look, i think if swewe've se the last four year, that division and divisive rhetoric creates more division, the question is whether the opposite is true as well. and biden is trying to communicate in the words he will use today in his inaugural address and in the actions of inviting republican leaders to be with him, i think it is significant that vice president pence is going to be attending the inauguration and not attending donald trump's farewell ceremony. i think in a way, it simply underscores the pique and fit of childishness that has led the president not to attend the inauguration of his successor. he will become the first president in i believe it's 159 years not to do so. but the fact that all the other republican leaders wi

joining us cnn global affairs analyst susan glasser, a staff writer at the new yorker, cnn political analyst david gregory and sn senior law enforcement analyst andrew mccabe. i want to play for you what assistant house speaker katherine clark told us in terms of a timeline on an impeachment vote. listen. >> if the reports are correct and mike pence is not going to uphold his oath of office and remove the president and help protect our democracy, then we will move forward with impeachment to do just that. >> and she told me that could happen and, in fact, will happen by the middle of next week. david gregory, your reaction? >> it's a significant step. obviously it's unprecedented. so much has been unprecedented about donald trump's presidency. my suspicion at this point is that it will be largely symbolic. i haven't seen any indication that the senate would, you know, move with the house to go to an impeachment trial, but i think the -- that mitch mcconnell wouldn't do that and they wouldn't have those votes anyway, but i think what is significant about it is that democrats want to g

let me bring in staff writer susan glasser to help us get to the bottom of this. welcome, susan.nt to share whether you share my sense. this is completely unprecedented. i cannot think of an outgoing secretary of state or an outgoing administration that tried to make all these moves that have no -- they're in no way going to be able to implement this. it is all designed to box in the incoming administration. have you seen this before? >> no. absolutely, fareed. it is a remarkable end to perhaps the most disruptive and undiplomatic of any secretary of state in our lifetime. it is impossible to think of any precedent. it all goes to, i think, understanding that mike pompeo is perhaps the most hyper political creature ever to serve as secretary of state. he comes out of this sort of flame throwing house republican conference we have seen. what those house republicans are like in terms of their almost fanatical trumpism. this seems to be an extremely politicized end to a very unsuccessful tenure as secretary of state. >> and it has real costs on the ground. let me ask you to just run

. >> i want to bring in susan glasser, cnn global affairs analyst. that's interesting.said no doubt china poses the most significant challenge of any nation state to the united states. he said in that regard the tough stance was good. what did you think of him? it was kind of a compliment. >> look, our future secretary of state knows he's testifying in front of the senate and is looking for republican as well as democratic notes and i think a nod to the reality, new real ity of the situation, this is probably the area, brianna, where this might be a group of obama administration veterans to fill national security and foreign affair roles. they can't roll back the clock to 2016. there's a new reality in the world and to hear tony blinken use the word "adversarial," it's striking from the late biden administration. excuse me, obama. >> kylie, what else has the nominee for secretary of state been saying? >> well, largely, brianna, secretary of state nominee tone kr blinken has been trying to revitalize the state department, to bring back u.s. working with allies to push fo

. >> joining me now is susan glasser, staff writer for "the new yorker."that he really does want to make sure that the senate focuses on his agenda. he does not want the impeachment trial to take over. where do you see this headed? >> well, that's right, especially because of the trump administration's refusal to engage in a normal transition process, the biden administration in the middle of so many interlocking crises starts out behind the eight ball. there are currently no cabinet secretaries confirmed. there are a number of confirmation hearings scheduled for the 19th, which is when the senate returns to session. the problem is, when nancy pelosi transmits the article of impeachment, it will immediately trigger and require the senate to meet the very next day by 1:00 p.m., and so obviously nobody really wants to go from biden's inauguration to literally minutes later at 1:00 p.m. that's at noon. is the senate really going to sit in a trial? so this is a complicated matter, but because trump is an ex-president by the time this trial presumably begins, t

susan glasser, i want your expert brain to think about what the challenges are. start with iran.of the u.s. drone strike on soleimani. there was a nuclear scientist killed in iran presumably by israel. the president had the carrier in the persian gulf moved out there. what's going on with iran? how much concern is there that iran will strike or we'll strike iran? >> i think there is. this has been one of the major risks of this transmission period especially because you received erratic subpoenas from the trump administration. they put the carrier in there. then the new civilian leadership of the pentagon -- remember president trump fired mark esper in the immediate aftermath of the election and there's an acting defense secretary who overruled military officials to send that carrier back out of the gulf. there's conflicting messages from the administration. president trump has said if there's any attacks on american interests in the region, perhaps in iraq, that you could see retaliation. there's real fear inside parts of the pentagon that this is something that president trump

. >> i want to read you some of what susan glasser has written today on this very topic.'s getting at the same things you're speaking about. only after four years of the trump presidency was the mention of truth in an inaugural address become an applause line. but we are where we are. the country has had so much lying. much will be made of biden's plea to end this uncivil war. and his stirring language about democracy prevailing but it was his love letter to the truth in a free society, however, that rang loudest to me in biden's 20 minute inaugural address which took place under a sunny washington sky amid a crisis like no other in our modern history. >> this suggests the incoming white house staff is acutely aware of the dangers you just described. this lie that at the time felt like a big lie. standing in front of that sacred spot and repeating the lie about his own crowd size, that felt like a big one but of course, as you are correcting saying, it ballooned into the insurrection. >> no doubt and the mission of the national security professionals and the leaders at ci
