Got out there that merrick garland had to get out ahead of the january 6th committee or issue ahead of the 2022 midterms. and thats just not accurate. of course it cant take five years to do this. i get that. >> i agree. the idea of thinking about it, ramesh, the timeline in part, theres always concern about putting ones thumb on the scale if youre doj. trump is not on the ballot, technically, in any of the races that are coming up this fall. and yet he does cast a pretty big shadow over these e...

Backward at 2020. and president trump constantly wants to relitigate the 2020 election. and hes continuing to spread this ridiculous story about his having won the election. he apparently called the wisconsin speaker of assembly to get him to decertify the election, which is not a thing, by the way. and i think that republican voters might just decide between trump himself and the people investigating his action. theyre just kind of sick of it. and only the way to get past all of this is to get ...

Going to declare his candy for 2024? and how does that affect any plans to start an investigation. its already one of those things that he has clearly decided that the way to beat any kind of criminal charges would be to declare a political witch hunt. and the closer you get to an election where that would be a possible issue, the more complicated this gets. theres lots of pressure on the doj and merrick garland to get this moving. its more than just legal limits and statutes of limitations. the...

Talking points republicans could be using to capitalize on the low approval ratings. of course the polar coasters of sorts are not always the most telling things about them. thank you to all of you. ramesh, michelle, elliott, always good to talk to each one of you. thanks. >> thanks, laura. look, russia is now raising the stakes on a potential prisoner swap. now were learning that moscow has other demands, like the release of a convicted murderer in exchange for brittney griner and paul whelan...
