Himself, the justice department, or he could have used a grand jury because the fifth amendment says no person shall be held for a capital or otherwise infamous crime except on indictment to the grand jury. thats almost exactly the text. what the supreme court has said, if thats a misdemeanor charge, you dont need a grand jury. thats what these two offenses are. what merrick garland did, he said its kind of an infamous crime. im going to get the seal of approval of a grand jury to do this. he di...

Not find -- difficult to find rittenhouse guilty. isnt the problem the laws, the way theyre written, that make us vulnerable? when i say us, the american people, but certainly black people. >> okay, so, jonathan, here is the problem we start talking about the law as it relates to the rittenhouse case. it is not the law on the books, it is the law provided to the jury for them to use in deliberation. the law they had to use during deliberation was actually more forgiving than you would think, wit...

I dont expect that to be the case for two reasons. this is the framework the president negotiated, and hes confident it is going to pass the senate. people said, oh, was it going to pass the house? he was right. it passed the house because he negotiated it, i have full confidence it will pass the senate. it is going to be 90% of what we passed. >> let me play you some sound from white house press secretary jen psaki, what she had to say at the briefing on friday? >> this bill, no matter what, ev...

Leave, something that senator joe manchin said repeatedly he cant support it. why is it in the house bill if thats the case? >> there are other senators who really wanted in. if you value families, you should be for having people be able to take care of their families. this isnt about politics this is about allowing people to have time to take care of their kids, to take care of their elderly parents and i think other senators are going to really work to get this across the finish line. >> okay,...

Modern day lynching. so i think its a great move in georgia that its off the books and it would be great to see it removed off the books elsewhere. >> citizenry armed with guns blurs the legal lines of when its justified to defend yourself and when a citizen is allowed to step in as an aggressor. at what point do you think brandishing a gun contributes to the volatility of any situation? >> i think tremendously, especially in the rittenhouse case. i think the fact that he showed up with a weapon...
