what it tells me, he s willing to use the power of the stateñio cover up his own behavior. and i m just not sure that shielding himself, opting for secrecy, shutting the public, the taxpayers out, is going to play as well as some of his other anti-media initiatives have. and i would, by the way, like to agree with mara çóvery, very mu, but i am not strangely comforted by what is happening here. i am having ptsdok flashbacks t 2016 as i watch donald trump move aahead because our politics are not normal anymore. they have you know, the republican party has gone down this weird rabbit hole and apparently ite1 just cannot qui donald trump and i just don t see the will on the part of other republicans to do what needs to be donee1 to take on donald trump. so i think that we need to gird that even though it is early we have seen this movie
had an armed man try to breach an fbi field officei] in cincinnati. a subsequent scrub of his socia( mediaxd revealedok a trail of threats in the aftermath of that search. my question too is is law enforcement aware that trump may be igniting a similar flame in the leadup to this indictment over the past couple of days? i certainly think and there s indications they are with reporting of the security planning going on just to handle the security concerns around thise1 potentiale1 indictment.xd so look, law enforcement agencies have learned a lesson regarding acting on available intelligence with regard to>c january 6th. and i think they re going to be doing that, i believe they re engaged in active intelligence collection right now. the problem is the longer this goes on and on and by the way, we re all here talking about this all week because donald trump said he d bee1 indicted tuesday and there was absolutely no basis in fact.ñr but it s given him an
nbc news he is focused on the economy and bolstering budget proposals while his team monitors trump s calls for protests. the other side of all of this is vastly different. trump has falsely publicly claimed he was going to be arrested two days ago while reporting by nbc tells us he is trying to benefit politically by creating a media spectacle with a, quote, war room mentality. now permeating his mar-a-lago home and nerve center of his 2024 campaign. let s bring in cornell belcher and research and msnbc contributor matt dowd is still with us. speak to what biden s silence means in the manhattan d.a. case and in the work of the broader justice department. such a contrast to somebody like trump who never hesitates to pressure officials to get his way even as a former president and as a president he would weigh in on things that people would have preferred him to stay out of. right. well, there is two problems
this goes deep for these two. ande1 alvin bragg is no strange to donald trump and vice versa. harry, let s move ae1 little bit to legal strategy, perhaps a little speculation today. your friend andrew weissmanxdrw% posed what i thought was a very interesting question. it was a little bit of a curveball question but he posed the question is there any chance that alvin bragg is contemplating charging trump of course weisselberg was in that case, the letitia james civiln&o■ suit. and i think the aim here would be to flip weisselbk2■ finallyç against donald trump. explain to us how would that ■ically. it isr it was a curveball question that bragg posed to all of us. th weisselberg in the grand jury if he s agreed to cooperate and you make him tell everything and ev
baseless letter to %■ñr distric attorney, a state prosecutor in a different state, new york, who is enforcing new york law. congress has no place in lpthis. but what is clear is that they are doing the bidding of donald trump, as they have been doing for the last six years. i wanted to read in part this is something jim jordanñi said in his letter to mark pomerantz today, that pomerantz s efforts shamed bragg trump$i what do you think jim jordan is expected to get here? it s not like pomerantz quit because hexd thought trump was innocent. you obviously have seen a lot of the stuff against donald tru(>y not particularlyq in this case but just generally through the first impeachment. i m curious to get your thoughts i hope mark pomerantz comes in and testifies in the subcommittee on the so-called weaponization of the federal government.
