younger than 21, but it would be a potentially significant new development. also, on that list, you can see school safety measures, and investments in mental health. the u.s. is on pace to see its worst year ever for mass shootings. there have been at least 247 mass shootings through june 5th of this year, that s according to the gun violence archive, including at least 13 since friday alone. also this week, the events surrounding the january 6th insurrection will take center stage. we have new cnn reporting that thursday s primetime hearing will include live testimony from two people who interacted directly with the proud boys around the time of the attack. this is significant t comes amid a serious escalation by the department of justice, which charged the leaders of the proud boys with seditious conspiracy in the attack. the most aggressive charges brought against the far right extremist group yet. all right, joining us now, cnn s senior political correspondent a ....
They should say they re attending a meeting with two state senators instead of the reason they re actually there. how problematic is that and what could that mean legally? well, i mean, it is sort of silly to think that anybody is going to be able to keep their mouth shut. that s like asking milk cows at the barn not to moo. these folks going into the capitol. that s nonsensical. the problem they have is this what hangs conspiracies is what this is what gets people to corrupt processes in trouble. that is if somebody talks. you don t always have it laid out in a typed email. in a mob situation, you don t have an email from the big mob boss saying i want you to be quiet. it is troubling in the sense that it looks like, again, if you take circumstantial evidence, take these types of things and piece them together and start to talk about what was the motive behind this, was this something they intended to do on a grander scale, something they were intending to subvert the ....
This is a statement in history at a constitutional dimension by the congress saying the president abused his power. that s the version of saying the president committed a crime and the courts parallel to that saying many of his advisers are crooks, too. in a mob situation, an organizinged crime, wouldn t this be the basis for a rico charge? he s running a criminal enterprise, all of these people committing crimes around him? doesn t that hold him responsible criminally? when you look at this resolution that they re voting on today, was this something that one person pulled off on the side or was it, as these witnesses as they said, was this the regular channel. and we were talking earlier with our experts and friends about the famous boast about killing someone on 5th avenue with a gun. what the congress is arguing in this vote today is you know what s bigger than a gun? a javelin missile. you know what s bigger than killing one person as horrific as it is to have the sitting ....
To look at this and go if this is the best we ve got, am i going to be the next guy? am i going to be the next kevin mccarthy or jim jordan? i think the tell was how weak their defenses were. they re looking for a narrative but the fact is we know what the narrative is. it s not hearsay. the president has acknowledged it. we have this quasi transcript. a lot of what happened with ukraine took place in plain sight. yes, there was an attempted cover-up but it s one of the least effective cover-ups in history. so what they re left with is throw stuff up against the wall, try to attack and intimidate and discredit the whistle-blower but i think the weakness of the trump defense was really on display yesterday. let s, carol, start with the safety of the whistle-blower. it isn t exactly a mob situation but it s a little scary. this guy is under tremendous threat. he will be seen as archenemy to everybody on the hard right, trump right, because it is an ideology. how do you protect this per ....
In from the storm, we ll give you shelter that way. and that s why it s very similar to a mob situation. and quite a few of mueller s prosecutors have that experience. prosecutor of organized crime. think there s a real analogy there. also at this point, flynn has worked for mueller longer i think than he worked for donald trump. a year. he worked for him for a year. a lot more time. he was on the campaign for a long time. a lot. he traveled. he was out of the campaign trail. he was in a position to observe, listen, interact, with the nerve center of the trump campaign and the trump family that was running the campaign. so he really was in a position to hear a lot of things that were going on at that time. he also, when chris christie was fired from the transition, as i understand, flynn really kind of took a bigger role and, therefore yes. had a lot of contact with the jared kushners and trump juniors. the kushner i mean, it s our reporting that the kushner ....
