yeah. look, i was working for robert mueller when the same thing happened. this is right out of donald trump s playbook, just to attack anyone who s threatening his power whether it s the press, or the justice department. merrick garland s seasoned and has a strong background. he s gonna do this entirely by the book. and we are watching. thank you all, mark put, on andrew weissmann, i appreciate you as staying up late with us. frank and barb do not go anywhere, we ve got more to cover when we come back. more on the search from mar-a-lago from two people who have inside knowledge of the former president and how he s likely taking a news tonight. and later, democrats on the verge of a huge win in congress. we will write down what s in the sweeping health care, climate and tax bill. the 11th hour just getting underway on a big news monday night. onda night.
