You could not charge this right now. look, i was at the department of justice a long time and have dealt with witness tampering cases. and during an ongoing proceeding, number one, you have the justice department investigating all this. number two, there was a hearing yesterday or the day before in which a number of witnesses came forward and its ongoing. and a call from someone who might be the target or subject of this to a junior staffer? no, man. >> if he knew -- >> its at least suspicious -...

Response that we have been talking alot about. when the former president put something out on the internet and into the world, there was immediate activity and the response from violent extremist forces. and that, essentially as you heard in the words of the whistleblower from twitter, or former twitter employee, that trump was well aware of the impact that his words and his tweets were having. and he saw it in realtime, exploding, and really snowball into active coordination. it is also notable...

Having, and sort of saw it in realtime explode and really snowball into active coordination. its also notable, because these are two groups that historically, in their past, have not been aligned on interests. but were actually brought together by a trump ally, roger stone, someone who was able to do that coordination for him. so that sort of brings i think the committee closer to connecting the dots there, connecting former president directly to the violence, that it was a trump campaign person...

List. this is how it works with this inner circle, ive seen it firsthand, there go down a list and say whos vulnerable. what information to these people know, we need to get to them first is what im thinking. thats why my thinking went. >> i dont know how we know its the president. >> youre right. i dont have, i couldnt charge this at all. lets assume for the sake of argument, theres a foundational reason that they knew that it was the president of the united states. okay, lets assume that for a...

Shows donald trumps kind of arrogance. he just thinks hes above the law. hes going to continue to do this stuff day in and day out until merrick garland does the right thing. and im pleased the to see the committee has developed so much evidence now against donald trump, you know, far beyond what that federal judge said back in january when he said its more likely than not that donald trump has committed various federal felonies. >> and, phil, back to your point that theres supposed to be one mo...

Least for the clips that we play today? does it connects dots that no one else could have been able to? >> i think he could underscore and cooperate much of the testimony we had about the fact that the presidents own lawyers knew he lost the election, they told him he lost the election, understood that the claims of fraud were bogus, that there was no evidence -- understood that the election was over when the electoral college took its vote in december, and basically try to ward off a lot of wha...

That came out of yesterdays hearing was that how did people organizing the stop the steal rally seem to know that the president was going to say yeah, that everyone needs to go to? that is such an important question for and we dont know and they did not, those are not dots that they had connected. doubts that they did connect where we are just going to go back in time a little bit chronologically, back to december 2020. the way that this explosive meeting was described in the oval office, with p...

Important is because it gets into the broader theme that everyone has touched on that trump was in active and central participant in the planning up to january 6th in the day out. and next week, i checked in with some committee sources today, we will see them start to connect those dots about the 100 87 minutes they say that they are going to prove that it was a deliberate strategy for him to stay silent. it wasnt that he just didnt know what to do, and was confused and overwhelmed. he did that ...
