Keys, get out, no handover plan, no time to wind up any cases or set up any ongoing management arrangements. So it made a lot of news, one, because it was very sudden. It seemed to be maybe an impulsive decision, it did not seem to be a wellplanned out thing which is a serious thing when youre talking about federal law enforcement. That also made news because some of the u. S. Attorneys who got fired were very high profile people, for example, Preet Bharara for the district of knock. Furthermore...

Good evening wi, rachel. I was struck by that vote on the floor that they were clearly voting on something that they didnt know what it was and they were told if you want to know more, ask the Justice Department. Dont ask the Intelligence Committee. And to hear you tell us that ron wyden, a member of the committee didnt know about what the New York Times is reporting tonight, which seems related to that resolution, thats really quite stunning. It seems like whatever was going on with this invest...

To rachel. That is all in for this evening. The Rachel Maddow show starts now. Good evening. Much appreciated. Thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. We have just learned where the president is tonight. We had known the president was going to a dinner at a private home tonight somewhere in the d. C. Area. He hasnt done all that many of these since becoming president. When he leaves the white house, he goes to one of his private properties somewhere of his d. C. Hotel for example but the...

The republican par. Party. If party was paired if he didnt get the nomination for president , they were worried he might still keep running anyway. He might become a spoiler the conventional wisdom if republican politics at that time, september 2015 if trump couldnt win the nomination or presidency, his stint as a candidate for president thus far was going well enough that it was really good for his celebrity status. It was probably good for his business. So he would keep going with his candidac...

For them. Like lots of other republican household names, donald trump was running for the republican nomination for president by that point, and by that point, september 2015, nobody in republican politics actually thought he could win their partys president ial nomination. But by that time already, it was clear that he had enough support that if he wanted to, he could potentially really screw things up for the Republican Party. The party was worried that if and when donald trump lost the republ...

Scandal. He has Michael Cohen but he has additional lawyers working with him on the scandals where these women have been supposedly paid off. Thats where he lawyered up. Maybe the president saw this before we did in terms of the legal jeopardy hes in here. And moving todays case to the south everyone district of new york is fascinating because as you know they do not have a confirmed u. S. Attorney working there. The u. S. Attorney whos in place there, temporarily, his appointment is a 120day ap...

House and Senate Republicans. Originally one of those four Deborah Ramirez who says Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself to her has offered up an extensive list of at least a dozen witnesses. That includes people she says were in the room that night, as well as those whom she discussed this with. Also, a Police Report from 1985 documents a bar fight that Brett Kavanaughs critics say further indicates he may have misled the senate about his drinking. The white house responding calling that ridiculous....

Formal sentencing, which is expected to happen, i think, in august, sometime in late summer. It was reported at the time of Steve Stockmans corruption trial that his lawyers were surprised that they put congressman stockman in handcuffs and took him away into federal custody immediately after his conviction. They took him right from the courtroom. Apparently, his lawyers thought hed be allowed to go home and live free while he appealed his convictions or at least prepared for his sentencing. But...

Times with this story which they posted literally as i sat down in my chair to do the show. I was reading it out loud on air for the first time, which is exciting in its own way. A list of nearly 50 questions that special Counsel Robert Mueller reportedly wants to ask the president in the issue scandal. If he ever gets the president to sit down for an interview in that matter. Now according to the times last night, that list was based on information that was relayed to the president s legal team...

Donald trumps critics. In the eyes of many of his supporters, his political enemies. Fair game for vicious personal smears. One of the names on the list is someone donald trump stripped of his security clearance because he was too critical of the president s coziness with vladimir putin. Another is a former rival about whom trump urges his crowds to chant lock her up. Another is the countrys first black president who donald trump sought to delegitimize with the birther movement. But today, a for...
