Help insult jeffrey clark, his unethical and unqualified lawyer at the justice department as the new acting attorney general. so that clark would do what barr would not do, what rosen wouldn t do, and that is lie about the election. it speaks to try to reverse the results. so, my experience with him in congress was, he was an affable fellow, but ultimately had no moral compass and would do whatever he needed to do to advance, and he certainly found a way to advance within the trump administration. what do you think, i mean, meadows is a great example of this question of, what is to become of these individuals, right? and it s a question that the committee s report prompts. i mean, in the case of donald trump, there are criminal referrals, you have an op-ed talking about what comes after the report, but there s also this broader question about, i guess, disgrace or repudiation, ....
Congress. meadows succeeded where his predecessors had failed, precisely because he didn t try to remain in the worst impulses. he enabled those impulses of donald trump instead. as the report makes clear time and time and time again, meadows was a key player in plotting trump s attempted coup, even though meadows knew trump s big lie of a stolen election was bogus. former trump lawyer, alex cannon, even told the committee that when he informed meadows that he had found no significant instances of fraud that will change the results of the election, meadows acknowledged it. quote, i believe the words meadows used were, so there is no there there? according to the report, again, meadows also worked with pennsylvania republican, scott perry, on a scheme to install a man named jeffrey clark as acting attorney general, in order to weaponize the department of justice on behalf of the coup. remember, they wanted to send out those letters saying, well, the election has been tainted, we don t k ....
A congressional report is a strange genre of being. it has no power of law. it s just publishing, something you know something about, right? it s words, but words can have a lot of import. what do you think the significance of this is? well, i think jamie raskin, who writes that epilogue to our january 2nd report addition, and who i also want to say we all hope that he s healthy soon, he announced yesterday that he has cancer and he said that he s going to get through it and we have every hope that he will. he s an extraordinary person and he was extraordinary on this committee. and he said to me, and i quoted in my preface, that of course there is no legal standing, in the sense that this report can t be an instrument of prosecution, although it provides enormous amounts of information and evidence, as congressman schiff said. ....
Public is something that has that plus and minus. it s a plus for the american public, and it s a minus because defense counsel and defendants are going to pour over this for any and all inconsistencies. given your role in the mueller team, given the timeline of that investigation and ultimate report, and given the timeline of the events post january 6th, because we are approaching the two year anniversary of it, how do you conceptualize the timeline that jack smith and his office are working on here in terms of making some kind of decision either way? well, i agree with you that if it s going to happen, it s going to have to happen in this upcoming year. it just doesn t make any sense for it to be prolonged. it s also really worth pointing out that the state charges are very important, and worth keeping an eye on, because those are charges that if there were to be a republican ....
Pele was 82 years old. and that s tonight s read out. all in with chris hayes starts right now. l in with chris hayes starts right now. good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. one week after its release, we are still digesting the final report from the january six committee. in almost 900 pages before appendix. later this week, we examined one particularly pernicious aspect of donald trump s attempt to stay in power as outlined in chapter five of the report, titled, search of the legal theory. that chapter details the lengths to which donald trump, as the lawyer of john eastman, knowingly pushed and illegal scheme to have done vice president, mike pence, unilaterally throw out joe biden s victory and hand the presidency to trump. yesterday, we spoke to committee member, jimmy raskin, of maryland about the criminal referrals the committee made against trump, some of his closest allies, and why he thinks trump is likely to go to prison for his attempted coup. ....
