Down, the democrats are following us. >> earlier this week you voted to hold steve bannon in contempt. only eight republicans agreed with you on this. have you taken any flack? are you disappointed so few voted in that way? >> certainly not disappointed. i think to be honest with you, my goal is to be able to have a consistent standard that can be applied across administrations. i think all too often and this is very much a bipartisan affliction. folks will excuse the actions that are taken unde...

Interfere with the january 6 investigation. they have to be able to both gain a conviction and hold a conviction. based on what we know publicly, it seems clear that bannon is in contempt, guilty of the crime and there should be an indictment. i think that should be the next step. issues should be raised in pretrial motions that will try to delay getting him jailed. he can be jailed pending outcome but that doesnt often happen. the supreme court can act quickly when it wants to. it is hearing ar...

The house voted to hold him in contempt, he was in gettysburg giving a speech at a local republican party dinner. the day they recommended to hold him in contempt, he was watching msnbc, in fact, and he was -- he spent zero time on this. its all handled by his lawyers. if theres one person in washington who is not concerned by the house select committees investigation, it is steve bannon. >> kind of stunning. im curious, though, what information could he have since he wasnt officially with the t...

Weighing an estimated 4400 pounds, which is more than a car. researchers had to use a crane to pull it out of the water. 10 feet long, 9 feet wide. researchers think its part of the largest bony fish species in the world. you were live in the cnn newsroom. we begin with a question we asked so often on this show. why are so many republicans opposed to getting to the bottom of the january 6th attack? we saw it again this week when only nine house republicans were willing to join with democrats i...

David jolly, former republican congressman and msnbc political analyst, and joyce vance, whos hopefully, her crystal ball is working once again, former u.s. attorney and an msnbc legal analyst. donna edwards, let me start with you on this one and talk about those nine republican congressmen. i wonder if steve bannon here was an easy target, right, to vote and hold him in contempt. but whether or not they would actually make the same decision if it came to others like a jeffrey clark or a mark me...

Who outright flaunt inquiry, and thats how i voted. >> what will this mean for congress and the power that it really has? do you worry that the legislative branch of power is diminishing? >> i think our legislative branch of power has been diminishing incrementally for decades, and far too much of that has been creedinceding pow the consecutive. he wanted to wave executive privilege, which is what steve bannon tried to do. when they try to hold someone in contempt, if its an executive official, ...

Will the league protect its own, or will they decide its time to change who is actually in positions of power? thats the question facing the nfl, and if they get the question wrong, this league will suffer over the course of the next generation. >> thank you, dave. great to talk to you once again. appreciate it. after the break, everybody, my panel is back to talk about where the house committees investigation stands on the january 6th attack the capitol. plus, what is at stake for the nine ...

Its just never the place where they want to go where its hyperpolitical because they end up being attacked in the process, right? then merrick garland will suddenly be the subject of attack ads and it will be about him. while digging up dirt about him, this is not a fun place to be in, but clearly is necessary when you have people who, frankly, dont care about the law. so what do you do when you need testimony to tell the first story and they dont want to comply. it seems now theyre starting to ...

>> we then caught up with green a second time and i asked her why she would not hold bannon in contempt. what was the rationale behind your vote? >> rationale behind me vote is im not self-absorbed like the rest of these jerks here in congress. theyre ignoring inflation. people can hardly by food. because theyre self-absorbed. all they care about is congress. they dont care about the american people that pay all the taxes. all you want to talk about is your trump derangement syndrome and all you...

Bits of what happened that day. >> renee, the last time congress voted to hold in contempt, everyone voted for it. today just nine gop crossed the line to vote. >> this is not the gop of decades ago. we know how much republicans just want january 6 to go away. to me the person i am keeping an eye on is attorney general merrick garland, part of his job is to restore trust in the justice department which was defiled during the last
