donald trump issued those instructions after yet another conflict with twitter the service marks 2 of his messages as misleading specifically the one relating to possible mail in voting fraud trump responded by accusing the social network of interfering with the coming election with us or. matters came to a head you know early january. a relic from supporters and to save america erupted into a storming of the capitol practically controlled the congress building for several allies some posed for photos in the congress hole and in congressman's offices others chased police officers along colorado's upstairs gunfire was heard repeatedly on different floors 4 people died in the assault and more than 50 were injured democrats in american media outlets immediately held trump responsible for inciting the violence with his tweets. as i have been saying for a long time twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech and tonight twitter employees have coordinated with the democrats and radical left in removing my account from their platform to silence me and you the 75000000 great p

and this part of trump's statement is a straight up throwback to the olden days of twitter before trumpe platform in early january. quote, mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if republican senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again. but he forgets that mcconnell does smile, and he does win. and not only that, he smiles when he wins as he did when he used trump to get his own political agenda across the finish line. >> he's happy we still have a republican majority. we look forward to working with him. i think most of the things that he's likely to advocate, we're going to be enthusiastic for. [ inaudible ] we'd fill it. [ laughter ] >> and in trump's final paragraph of his middle school roasting of mcconnell, quote, prior to the pandemic, we produced the greatest economy and jobs numbers in the history of our country. and, likewise, our economic recovery after covid was the best in the world. you notice that there? the keyword in that sentence, after covid? does he mean after he had covid? because we're still knee deep in it. we being america. th

and on twitter and trump's twitter feed and realtime reporting showing the president was watching it as it happened and initially supported it as it happened. look, i think the strongest case the defense has is the constitutional argument, but there i think they lose again ultimately. the argument comes down to this -- if the president commits an impeachmentable in the last month or so of his presidency and the senate takes a few weeks to get a trial moving, the president could commit impeachable acts with impunity towards end of his term. i don't think the constitution intended that. there's precedent of impeaching people and trying people after they leave office as well. i think even if they -- they lose on that point even. >> gloria, before i let you guys go, i want to ask you about something from republican congresswoman liz cheney, who overcame a threat to oust her from her position in leadership among house republicans. she says, trump may be facing some criminal liability. >> there will be a massive criminal investigation of everything that happened on january 6th and in the d

spokes person is confirming to fox news -- this is cfo of twitter that the trump ban on twitter is permanent even if he runs again. that just in. chris wallace, thank you. >> john: shannon bream is our fox news at night anchor. let's chew over that a little bit more. there is a legal component to that, shannon. this is mostly a political exercise. there is no political remedy at the end of the tunnel here, if president trump does get acquitted and can run for office again in 2024, is this process just about inflicting as much political damage against him as possible, not trying to keep him from running. >> shannon: the democrats know they won't get to 67. they can't bar him from running for office. if does run, especially in the gop where they are having to make a decision about whether he is the future or past of the party and making people choose sides. democrats also have to be aware of the facts that they can coalesce people around president trump, who has got tens of millions of supporters who voted for him, who say they would vote for him again. the gop coul

these are just a few of the hundreds of twitter statements the president trump sent and it wasn't just twitter statements as you'll see he was dialing into meetings holding rallies appearing on television continuing to spread the big lie that his election victory was stone. dead anybody know. the alleged by margin of victory in several states is apparently accounted for by extraordinarily large midnight vote dumps you saw them with going up to the sky massive midnight vote dumps dead people voting all over the place he said there were votes going up to the sky . this was never about pursuing legitimate claims she was saying anything he could to trigger and anger his base so that they would fight like hell to overturn a legitimate election and it worked just as manager castro showed you president trump supporters were taking up arms to stop the count his message to fight like steel fight like hell was having real consequences and michigan you'll recall that president trump was attacking that state and its officials he continued these attacks even after michigan certified its votes take

without any respect for the lol because when it is proposed to have festool obviously been about twitter don't trump if donald trump had committed an offense the offense of incitement that might of merited some kind of punishment whether impeachment impeachment or some kind of criminal conviction but it doesn't merit being banished from twitter before any judicial procedure and still less punished for life and the notion of the realities in other words of someone in the government is not someone in the judicial system not a judge not someone acting under the law as someone acting presumably with the freedom that comes with the executive. such a personal such an office should be in charge of policing fake news is absolutely crazy but i'm afraid we live in crazy times like it's happened in the past ok in other countries and it's only a river of tears ok let me go back to tom i mean it's been mentioned we can look at the situation with donald trump private citizen donald trump is facing right now is that you know in looking at these proceedings against him is 2nd impeachment what are the facts that hap

to share a clip other social media john such as twitter have already been flagging disputed or false content of course included former president donald trump who was eventually banned from the platform but there are concerns that this power to censor or suppress information could be abused this past week india pressured twitter to block hundreds of accounts critical of the prime minister the company soon reversed the move but it continues to face legal threats from several governments let's bring in jim anderson he is a tech analyst and c.e.o. of social flow dot com joining us from new york sky many thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera jim why do you think talk has made this move now well i think it realizes it's got a challenge and a problem just like all of these other tech platforms and remember tech doc is still got his chinese ownership problem they're still governed by the executive order by now former president donald trump in terms of having to be divested from the chinese company that owns them by dan so i think the last thing they want is for their controversy and these are really thorny issues of free speech versus hate speec

is that they were paying attention. >> oh, yeah. >> to everything that was going on, on donald trump's twitterd. they were taking their orders from trump. and trump's tweet in that moment, instead of calling them off, he was egging them object on at a critical moment when pence was actually in danger. so it really kind of highlights that there is that connection between the words and the actions, and it's not just the incitement that gets you to the beginning of the riot. it's what happened during the riot as well. >> and that's an argument that congressman castro really underlined. if republicans do not hold donald trump responsible for what the mob waving the trump flag was doing in the capitol that day, why did so many republicans call donald trump and plead with him to stop them, if they didn't think that the crowd was doing what donald trump wanted them to do? anderson? >> jake, want to talk to their legal team about their assessment of today. what do you think? >> i don't think the house managers could have done a better job. i think they were succinct. they were direct. they were logica

these are just a few of the hundreds of twitter statements that president trump sent. nd it wasn't just twitter statements. as you'll see hewas dialing into meetings , holding rallies, appearing on television, continuing to spread the biglie that his election victory was stolen . >> people that were dead were signing up for balance. not only were they coming in and putting in about people were requesting balance that had been dead for years and they were requestingbalance . >> the alleged biden margin of victory in several states is entirely accounted for by extraordinarily large midnight vote dumps. you saw them going up to the sky. >> massive midnight vote dumps. dead people voting all over the place. he said there were quotes going up to the sky . this was never about pursuing legitimate claims. he was saying anything he could to trigger an anchor his base so that they would fight like hell to overturn a legitimate election. and it worked. just as manager castro showed you president trump's supporterswere taking up arms to stop the count . his message to fight like h

trump wanted. now that twitter banned trump and he can't comment in realtime, what does oan particularly do? they just float around and imagine what the trump agenda would be. >> right. >> and just kind of fill in the gaps there. and he has enough of a velocity that someone could easily cobble something something on their own. but at the moment and without any sort of leader in the helm filling in those gaps, it is a collection of memes. i saw orange man bad without explaining what that meant and just kind of assuming that everyone in their audience knew what that was. >> news is hard, memes are easy. i know it's not surprising that the ratings for fox declined whenever the democrats were presenting their impeachment arguments. i know it is not surprising that fox made time for the cat lawyer. look at that cute cat lawyer from zoom earlier this week. none of that is surprising. but what is surprising is that -- there he is. there's the cat. the network is trying to appeal to a center right audience and not moving further right. he told investors we don't need to go further right. we don't be

we have since engaged directly with twitter, but also coordinated with president trump and his office post presidency to make sure that what is considered a private account from twitter's perspective, that we are going to get all of that data from that account. trudy: let me add something on richard's comments on what is private and personal versus official. that came to a head in the nixon case where you had to go in and take this mass of material and sort it into what was deemed private, what was deemed official, and then there was this middleground which was political. what of the political material was official and what was private? some lines were drawn as to if it was political but the president was acting in his statutory and constitutional role, for example, pushing for a piece of legislation to be adopted, it was official. if he was campaigning in the state of you know what for a particular candidate, that was indeed political and personal. it was really tough and we spent a lot of time in the nixon -- post-nixon -- arrow trying to figure that out. what has happened under the

trump had made vice president pence target. the attack vice president at the rally. in speeches and on twitter. and during president trump speech that morning of the attack, he wrapped it up again. after privately pressuring mike pence in front of thousands in the crowd, he called mike pence about 11 times. including saying, mike pence, i hope you're going to stand up for the good of our constitution and for the good of your country area and if you're not, i'm going to be disappointed in you. i will tell you right now. and this was the crowd's response to donald trump's days of on his own vice president. >> and mike pence. >>. >> 52:15 p.m., the crowd was chanting in unison, hang mike pence outside the very building he'd been evacuated from with his family . now, even if president trump didn't know that his inflammatory remarks about his vice president would result in chance of having mike pence, my 2:15 he surely knew. the attack was all over television. they were doing this out in the open. this was the vice president whose life, whose families life was being threatened i people whom the presi

this is what happens when you take away donald trump's twitter account.finds traditional methods to do it. in this case he used the old-fashioned mission -- method of email. it was a blistering declaration of civil war within the republican party. he starts off same, the republican party can never again be restricted or strong with clinical leaders in quotations like senator mitch mcconnell. he goes on to say mitch is a dour, solid and unsmiling little hack. here's the point he's trying to make. i will back primary rivals who espouse making america great again and our policy of america first. that is essentially him saying, he's going to pick people who will attack these conventional republican from the right. number one on that list is the senate majority leader, now minority leader, senator mitch mcconnell, who after all did vote to acquit donald trump in the impeachment trial, but ultimately, gave a lengthy statement saying, he was morally responsible. trump did not take that line down. he is attacking mcconnell, saying he is on one side of the republi

they're talking about how he it's an odd charge to make the thing about the the twitter feed you've got to remember don't trump hasn't had a twitter feed for some time know he's been banned from the platform and saw by in the sense that it is some things have to be pulled up after the fact the fact that someone has a blue take verifying them is a genuine news. that had suddenly appeared if that's the extent of your defense on the charges of inciting an insurrection it's not a particularly strong defense but i'm sure that the democrats will in questions to the chair address those things but you know donald trump's defense team still have to argue exactly what happened here and a very big question that was come and more come to his team during question is if donald trump is as you see all has always been on the side of peaceful protest and go in peace and protest patriotic way why did it take more than 2 and a half hours when he knew the capitol was under siege that his own vice president had to be escorted out of the chamber that the police lines had fallen why did it take 2 and a half hours for him to order th

trump was furious. not that they quit, that he couldn't fire them on twitter. and his lawyers disagreed on strategy. apparently trump got upset when they wanted to have one. but there's good news for trump. because after he lost five lawyers, he was able to replace them with two new ones can we hear a little about them >> donald trump has picked two new attorneys, david schoen and bruce castor >> david schoen was consulting with jeffrey epstein before his death. >> bruce castor, most notably, deciding not to go ahead with the prosecution of bill cosby in 2005. >> jimmy: what was the guy who defended saddam hussein not available? i mean, even rudy giuliani thought, "you're going with these guys?" oh, listen to this if you're still traveling during the pandemic, maybe this will give you something else to think about. >> according to a safety reporting system run by nasa, the rise of in-flight errors during commercial flights is being blamed on pilots being rusty because of the pandemic. >> jimmy: don't worry, it's just like riding a bike -- 30,000 feet off the gro

politics meanwhile donald trump has launched a blistering attack on house minority leader mitch mcconnell what's behind the move . that's right daryn once they took away his twitter account donald trump has now gone back to the old school technology of e-mail and he's sent out a message in which he says the republican party will never be strong or respected as long as it has leaders in quotes like mitch mcconnell the senate republican leader at the helm he went on to say that mcconnell. smiling and dour leader and the point of this message seems to be at the very end where he says he is going to support people who will combat those sort of standard republicans in their primaries so when other words he's really solidified a split in the republican party that makes it one side the trumpets party that supports his america 1st programs and his it rather fiery rhetoric among other things and then the traditional republican party people like adam kinzinger in the house who voted to send the impeachment forward people like mitt romney a senator from utah a republican who said that he voted to convict donald trump in that trial so essentially what donald trump has done i

or he's right chris christie is right we know how donald trump acts on twitter and otherwise when he has a message to convey in fact i asked you to remember those tweets earlier this morning when he yelled on twitter stop the cow when he wanted to incite his supporters to show up on january 6th president trump tweeted 16 times between midnight on january 5th and his noon rally speech the next day 16 times to get them to do something he wanted and his message in those 16 times was clear fight to stay strong be strong but when the violence started he never once said the one thing everyone around him was begging him to say stop the attack he refused to stop and as governor christie and representative kinzinger and others made clear only donald trump could have stopped that attack you know a guy that knows how to how to tweet very aggressively on twitter you know puts out one of the weakest statement he one of the saddest days in american history because of ego won't work and you know it may be. he was not just our commander in chief he had incited the attack. the insurgents were followi

it's been - awfully quiet without trump on twitter but in this case, mitch mcconnell went at trump reallynate trial, but he basically, he did blame trump for inciting this riot, this insurgency on the capital, but still, when you hear stuff like this, it is stilljarring, trump said mitch is a dour, sullen and unsmiling political hack, and we are actually also reporting that trump wanted to talk about mcconnell in very personal and disparaging terms about his physical attributes, and one of his aides stopped him from doing that, so it could have been much more daring than it actually was searing. he is well aware that there are more investigations, he just overcame this senate impeachment, however. is a criminal investigation that was openedin criminal investigation that was opened in georgia for a phone call he made right before the senate special election. there is also investigations in new york into him, so he is right now, believe it or not, listening to some of his aides when they tell him, just stand down right now, but he couldn't help it with mitch mcconnell, apparently. help it w

trump had made vice president pence a target. he attacked the vice president at the rallies, in speeches and on twitter. at morning of the attack, he ramped it up again, after privately pressuring mike pence. in front of thousands in the crowd, he called mike pence out 11 times, including saying, "mike pence, i hope you're going to stand up for the good of our constitution and for the good of your country. and if you're not, i'm going to be disappointed in you. i will tell you right now." and this was the crowd's response to donald trump's days of relentless attacks on his own vice president. day three — and the prosecution returned again to that link of the individuals who stormed the capitol onjanuary 6. impeachment manager diana degette presented testimony of those who've since been charged, who had told investigators they were there at the invitation of the president. now, remember, president trump told them to stand back and stand by at the debate. they took it as a call to arms. and when he called them to arms. they were all ready to act. they were waiting for their orders, which they got on januar
