Resignations from the leadership of your justice department. what does that say to you. it comes apart. the line is declaring it fraudulent without finding it, but it is remarkable still. and i ll never not point it out. it is remarkable domg was used under bill barr s direction to go follow spurious claims of fraud no republican judge found in the 61 cases that trump and rudy and his team brought. but this, too, was a bridge too far putting jeffrey clark in top doj. yeah, and let s remember bill barr walked away, and he walked away quietly. he didn t walk away and do a press conference and say this president is going to try to press a fraudulent theory on the american people about this election. now, he s saying these things, but at the time it would have been really important for bill barr to explain why he was ....
Works. he clearly doesn t want to own the violence that occurred on the floor where he was standing. and yet, now it is all out this again goes to why investigations matter. i am not aware of anyone at this juncture suggesting any criminal liability for senator lee. we are talking about something more nuanced but quite important. your former colleague attorney general holder was the person in charge of domg for a period of time. this is what he said. plik mike leigh must be confronted quote about his actions to subvert our electoral process and approximate held accountable. um, what do you think of that point from holder? and what lee owes at least his constituents, if not the nation? eric holder is absolutely right, 100%. it may not be criminal, ari. it might be but it s certainly a betrayal of our constitutional democracy or that he is the way it looks from these texts. now, maybe he has got some explanation. i d like to hear it and i would ....
This moment. i think there is still role for congress down the line. you heard lip see graham yesterday laying out that congress should fund a task force that includes the domg, other agencies, that can find other ways to go after russian oligarchs and their money in the u.s. and overseas. congress might also be called upon later to authorize more weapons sales to ukraine if this turns into a protracted war on the ground in that country. so still more congressional action possible. but a big congressionally authorized sanctions package? i m not convinced. hall, we know that any number of people who have been critical of the biden administration, and in fact, critical to the nth degree, have been used in propaganda on television in russia on the usual propaganda channels including the former president, former secretary of state. how does that play into when we look at the big picture, of what vladimir putin decides to do. ....
What s your reaction or response to that? the choice facing donald trump is to sue or not to sue. that certainly seems to indicate pretty strongly that he will sue. if he does thog, the returns are going to congress because of the new decision out of domg. if he does sue, as you said earlier, he has been given 72 hours. the parties have asked for another day here. but i think that statement sort of settles any mystery here. donald trump historically is he tijs. that shows us he intends to fight this in the courts. he s going to delay this. that seems to have been his strategy thus far. how much longer could he delay it? as long as it takes the court to rule. you ll have the district court and then a court of peels. we could talk about many months more if he sues. let s say the house ways and means committee gets their hands on the documents. what can they do with them? ....
Are saying on the left to say protect voting rights, not moving fast enough. domg has a lot of work to do. bill barr left the doj in a bad place. ultimately doj comes down the line prosecutors, what i was, people in the trenches, trying cases. i talk a lot in this book about cases i tried and experiences i had. there are policies and laws we need to pass to help doj establish their independence. so much of a quality prosecutor comes down the quality of the person. the quality of the person s ethics and personality. the book is hatchet man. please make sure you check it out. i got my copy now and reading through it after the show is over. it will be out in bookstores. out in bookstores now as a matter of fact. thanks so much for coming on. great to see you in person. a rare in studio performance by ....
