to sort of your masculinity, et cetera, this is marketing to you. is that the argument you re making? absolutely and we look at some of their other marketing campaigns even where they re encouraging people to turn in their friends under the banner jeffrey is a crier so anyone showing any sort of femininity perhaps, let s get them an ar-15. they use terms about military wannabes. this is who they re marketing to and the insight they were using. on one hand it s brilliant marketing because it s tapping into the psychology but the recklessness and irresponsibility, that needs to be held accountability and because they thought they were immune, they thought they could get away with it. that changed today. glenn, this was the now lieutenant governor of virginia, you know, this is a it is used now as almost an accessory by conservatives to say a certain thing about them. this woman is a military
trump is starting to fall. and this has been an inexorable path since the supreme court, 9-0, said trump tax returns have to be turned over, so these financial records that you re seeking about trump are now in the hands of prosecutors. we know that those new york prosecutors have convened a grand jury. they re going to sit for six months, three days a week. that s far longer than donald trump s ever worked so he s got to be worried about that. we know the prosecutors have sent a warning letter to the trump organization saying this is a criminal investigation. and so now we know this other thing, and glenn s absolutely right. this is how prosecutors bring cases and particularly against a reluctant witness like allen weisselberg. you sit and you take your time and you say, look, if you don t cooperate, here s what s going to happen, and it can happen before indictment, the cooperation, or after a guilty conviction, as glenn is saying. that s exactly how they operate, and i think prosecu
allen? i thought that andy losing his lines of communication was a very serious matter. if this was a military maneuver and he lost his line of communication, you could lose an entire battalion. and this is the question, then, glenn, if you have somebody that close, he s putting him on tv, that s probably the only way he paid him, let nbc pay him. you ve got his daughter, weisselberg s daughter under a lot of pressure. you ve got the family under pressure. you re squeezing all of these people around donald trump. is it possible that cyrus vance could be doing that and not be interested in donald trump? very unlikely. i agree with neal that the allen weisselberg domino will fall. the only question is, does it fall while he still has an opportunity to cut a fairly favorable plea agreement with the prosecutors and perhaps keep his two sons out of the criminal mix, because they were both involved in trump s business orbit, right? so, if he wants to save himself
in a breaking story just moments ago, the new york times reported that the criminal investigation of the trump organization s cfo, allen weisselberg, is reaching its final stages. it raises the possibility that he could face charges this summer. according to people with knowledge of the matter. those sources also told the times that prosecutors have obtained mr. weisselberg s personal tax returns, providing the fullest picture yet of his finances. we ve known for months that cyrus vance is putting tremendous pressure on weisselberg with the hope of ultimately flipping him against his boss, and that would be donald trump. joining me now is neil katyal and glenn kushner. i m going to start with you. this is apparently focused on whether or not mr. weisselberg failed to pay taxes on valuable benefits that trump provided him and his family over the years for the times story, including apartments and leased cars worth tens of thousands of dollars in
because it s a lie, and you know, what is a war on christmas? thousands of people going through the holidays without a paycheck. and jen said this is something that democrats previously supported. maybe that was a different time. today we have more i.c.e. agents and border patrol and the least amount of migration that we have seen in decades. again, this is an empty promise all meant to stoke fear in a base that lacks of intellectual curiosity to find out facts for themselves, and wow. let me bring glenn in this. glenn, do you see the irony like i see the inconsistency in the shut down that affects homeland security? let me get this right. we are fighting overboarder patrol but we are going to put homeland security workers in a shutdown mode? i mean, something about that doesn t add up to me?
