Second indictment all were bound to bring the gop even closer to him. as msnbc columnist ruth ben-ghiat laid out for us on the indictment special for republicans, this unending loyalty isnt some lucky fluke for trump. its a derangement syndrome that is infecting the gop called the authoritarian bargain. >> this is consistent with an authoritarian party thats in thrall to a cult leader. and there is something called in authoritarian bargain and that is when a leader like trump who demands loyalty...

Since jordan also shares the so-called weaponization of government subcommittee, i assume he will be looking into what appears to be his own weaponization of government, here. >> let me first remind the american people that congressman jim jordan ignored the bipartisan congressional subpoena, and what he is trying to do now is to interfere in an ongoing investigation, an ongoing case. an ongoing prosecution against a defendant who is alleged to have taken americas most sensitive nuclear and mili...

>> im an innocent man, im an innocent person. >> donald trump is posting on his own social media site that he has been indicted. tonight, a former president is facing federal charges. for the first time in u.s. history. >> this is a very dark day in america. >> our country is going to hell. >> tuesday, youre going to have the opportunity for our court system to do its job. and it could be a circus. because he may as well be organizing another january 6th. >> this is warfare for the law, and we c...

This, lean into it. but not on the republican field. dont argue about the weaponization issue. dont argue about donald trump s craziness. lean into the support of the rule of law. lean into due process for the president himself, as a defendant. lean into your support for the presidential records act, and for the espionage act, and the importance of those. the contrast will naturally happen. the other thing to realize politically -- there is no way for democrats to overcome the messaging of donal...

Right? its not just donald trump, the man himself, that is a threat to this democracy. >> yeah, alicia, im afraid we could be entering a very dangerous chapter in american history. i certainly hope not. but im not reaching for a hyperbole on that. donald trump is framing this, and republicans like ted cruz and others are framing this, around the weaponization of the government, against the former president and against republicans. and look, i say for january 6th, the big lie was that the electio...

Justice should be pursued in our country. the american people are exhausted by the prosecutorial overreach, double standards, and the politics. but after having time to digest the detailed unsealed indictment , she is singing a slightly different tune. >> if this indictment is true. if what it says is actually the case, president trump was incredibly reckless with our national security. >> reporter: republican presidential candidate tim scott said this. >> what we have seen over the last several...

President and against republicans. and look, i say for january 6th, the big lie was that the election was stolen. this is the bigger lie. now your government is out to get you, and out to get your political leader. this could be a critical moment for the country. so when people are casually on the right, using the word weaponization, that in itself is dangerous. but when they say it with conviction, that is suggesting we are going to enter into a general election possibly, where democracy is on ...

Think its the role of the free press. i think this is a moment in history where the role of the free pass become so critically important. joe biden cannot touch this. he has to be no comment from now until next november. because, this is the prosecution, as we discussed in a previous segment, of his likely opponent. not just a past president. so the politics of it forbid biden from touching it. i think for democrats, go into this, lean into it. but not on the republican field. dont argue about t...

Regular americans that donald trump is guilty. thats the way our criminal justice system works, and we should let our courts and law enforcement do their jobs without political interference. >> congressman, the committee that you sit on, the house judiciary committee thats shared by jim jordan is demanding the justice department provide internal documents laying out the scope of special counsel jack smiths investigation. since jordan also shares the so-called weaponization of government subcommi...
