Ballot box. i dont have to tell you that as a backbone of the democratic electorate, we will not leave the failure of democracy at the feet of black folks, but low turnout among black voters could be catastrophic for america. answer, former president barack obama. at the campaign trail last night rallying with stacey abrams and raphael warnock. obama told the crowd to hit the polls and caution the easily fooled voting for celebrities. take a listen. >> lets do a thought experiment. lets say you ...

What is so evident to me is the the skin deep commitment of many professional republican politicians to this. which is, you are a republican. you are running in the primary. of course you are pro-life. you say, im pro-life, im proudly pro-life. thats it. i think in the pre-dobbs era, it was more of a thought experiment. not to say there werent a barrage of abortion restrictions being pushed, at the state level particularly, but now its all on the table. they seem completely unprepared -- like th...

Team tomorrow. in the meantime, well wait to hear from this judge today. david shapiro, thank you. elie stay with us. we have new insight into another controversial legal decision concerning donald trump. evan perez joining us. this goes back to the mueller report and whether or not president trump was obstructing justice. what have we learned? >> this is a 2019 memo that the courts finally ordered the justice department to release. they said that this memo that went to bill barr, this came from...

Correspondent evan perez. we had previously seen a redacted version of this memo, and it shows barr broke with mueller when making this decision. >> yeah, thats right, jake. ill show you just a portion. >> thats the redacted version? >> this is redacted, what it looked like before. they have now released the the tire memo that we can now see what was going on. the courts have been really critical of the justice department and specifically of bill barr, saying that this memo was really an academi...

>> the deliberative privilege is just that. you cannot get information about the internal workings of the executive branch when youre trying to make a decision. who is making the decision and that is just the deliberation they have come to a conclusion with. what the court also said in language that was quite striking is they said what barr did was the equivalent of asking the legal counsel of richard nixon had broken the law during watergate. which kind of gave me a chuckle when i read the opin...

Was deliberative. the attorney general at the time had already made the decision. you quoted correctly saying that it was an academic exercise and a thought experiment. which is really strong language for the appeals court to basically say that this was a force. that it was never a real deliberation. therefore the justice department cannot claim that it was deliberative and keep it hidden from the public view. we need to see what this says to sort of give the public the full sense of what was an...

They said his hiding the ball was in this effort to block understanding that there was no deliberation. it was a thought experiment and nothing more and should be available for our reading pleasure pretty soon. >> i wonder when we will actually be able to view it. obviously, as well, what impact it might have. as you know, theres all these investigations surrounding the former president. theres the investigation in georgia, a federal judge said she would not put on hold that lindsey graham has t...
