were allegedly involved in the 911 attacks of 2001 who still have not gone to trial. the federal court system generally anywhere from one to three years, your trial is completed. if you want swift justice he s in the right place, the federal court system. there was a suggestion somehow terrorists see the justice system here as not a deterrent. this guy by all accounts or all of the evidence seems to have wanted to die in this attack anyway. i don t think he was concerned about the legal consequences at all. josh, something interesting that isis has not done in this case, which is claim direct responsibility here. we were talking to julia last hour and said that isis may not want to create too direct of a link to someone who is in custody and might be talking. generally isis has been reluctant to claim responsibility when the individual did not die in the attack. of course here that s what occurred. the individual is in custody. i suspect on isis part there s some uncertainty with
and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn t a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i m tom steyer, and like you, i m a citizen who knows it s up to us to do something. it s why i m funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who s mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what s political and start doing what s right. our country depends on it.
this happened, who this was, and how it could happen again. and that s what the president is not talking about because he s angry how he got to this point and what we re going to do with this particular person instead of trying to bring washington to a bigger place about what we do now. you wonder if it s an impediment. every federal prosecutor said what he said not only to a jury pool but you have 600 convictions in terrorism in federal courts since 2001. gitmo, you brought this up. you have eight. a handful. eight convictions, three of them appealed. those are just the numbers. up next, the cloud of the russia investigation appears to be consuming the president right now. his own chief of staff said he is distracted by it. the president said not the case. our panel weighs in next. well, like most of you, i just bought a house.
he was mexican american couldn t try the case basically. what makes us different than groups like isis and vladimir putin is the rule of law. is that we have an independent judiciary. now does it have problems? sure. proposals more effective, that s fine. but to attack the criminal justice system when it s actually the envy of the world in the sense it gives us rule of law and makes our democracy special. constitution. seems to be a very disturbing thing fort president to do. okayment we . we ll leave it. thank you all so much. coming up next here, investigators are trying to piece together what they are learning about this new york terror suspect revealing why he was so devoted to isis and why he wanted to display the terror group s flag in his new york hospital room. also just in former trump campaign chairman paul manafort and gates appearing in federal court right now to fight their
president trump. he should have stood up and walked out. professor, what do you say to those who are watching and say he should go to began tan mow. i think people have to think seriously about the implications of what they re suggesting. first of all, began tan mow bay has been a kol has sal failure. it s been a rallying cry for extremists around the world. and in many ways it really undermines our credibility both inside and outside the country. but i think the people also have to consider in the administration what this case would mean if the president changes its course and sends him to began tan mow bay. the legal status of these trials there has always been somewhat precarious. for an individual like this would be the worst possible case to test those principles. bad cases can become bad law and
