0:00Michael and I are still here joining our
0:02conversation neocotiel former acting
0:04solicitor general now a law professor at
0:06Georgetown University and lucky for us
0:08and MSNBC legal analyst Neil weigh in on
0:12this I mean I think that you may share
0:14some uh the feeling that Donald Trump is
0:18destroying democracy faster than those
0:20who care about it can hold him
0:21accountable where is Merrick Garland
0:24um yeah so where to begin
0:26um I mean part of Garland’s problem is
0:28that Trump is such a rampant criminal in
0:31so many different spheres in so many
0:33different places that Garland’s got a
0:35kind of prioritize and figure out what
0:38goes when so obviously like January 6th
0:40is such a fundamental betrayal of
0:43everything that America is about
0:45everything that led my parents to come
0:48here and countless others but that’s a
0:50harder and more complicated case than
0:52the classified information National
0:55Security information stolen documents
0:57investigation from Mar-A-Lago that is
1:00also really serious it’s not January 6
1:03existential threat to democracy serious
1:05but it’s incredibly serious for
1:07International Security Professionals I
1:09mean if I did I used to have access to
1:12these kinds of documents if I did even
1:13one one thousandth of what Trump did I’d
1:16be in jail in a second and so you’ve got
1:19I think that then you’ve got you know
1:21other investigations Michael mentioned
1:23the New York Criminal the New York civil
1:25investigation your potential criminal
1:27exposure repair you have criminal
1:28exposure in Georgia and then you have
1:31also all the Congressional
1:32investigations I mean it’s a it’s a hot
1:34mess as is everything that Donald Trump
1:37touches so here’s where I think Garland
1:39is Nicole I think that Garland is the
1:43guy who really doesn’t want to do this
1:45who doesn’t want to bring criminal
1:46prosecutions against a former president
1:49of the United States but I think he
1:52feels my gut is he feels he has to
1:56um just to take the classified
1:57information thing for one thing these
1:59are really serious crimes
2:01um with lots and lots of jail time how
2:04if you run the justice department do you
2:06look at the dozens and dozens of people
2:09you lock up every day for minor crimes
2:12and say oh yeah you’re going to jail six
2:14months a year five years ten years but
2:17this guy who did something far more
2:19serious now how do you look at the
2:21intelligence Community professionals who
2:23literally given their lives for some of
2:26this information and say oh don’t worry
2:29you know next time we’ll do better I
2:31mean how do you reassure our spies in
2:33the field some of them are undoubtedly
2:35working for foreign governments who
2:37right now are afraid oh my Intel reports
2:40are just left somewhere at Mar-A-Lago a
2:42place that you know every man every so
2:45every foreign spies agency is trying to
2:48penetrate
2:49um you know it then that’s just the
2:51January that’s not on January 6th so I
2:54think Garland starts there I think he
2:56starts with an indictment in Washington
2:58DC
2:59um and then from there about Mar-A-Lago
3:02and then I think we’ll get a pretty easy
3:04conviction I mean Michael pointed to the
3:06men’s Ray and Criminal Intent issues in
3:08the January 6th investigation I think
3:10they’re totally surmountable but at
3:11least it’s an issue with the classified
3:13information stuff everything so far he
3:16said Has Fallen apart Neil
3:19um that is at some levels reassuring and
3:23others I take your point that that
3:25Merrick Garland ever wanted to do this
3:26but I feel like we know so much about
3:28how badly Merrick Garland doesn’t want
3:30to do this and it doesn’t do anything
3:32for him with the 40 of Americans for
3:35whom he would benefit with that
3:36knowledge and I think what what other
3:38people fear is that we may be two years
3:41away from too late that we are going to
3:45have more election deniers in Secretary
3:47of State posts in attorney general pose
3:50potentially even in more senior posts
3:52maybe even a governor in Arizona of
3:54Kerry Lakewinds in November than we did
3:56two years ago and he almost pulled it
3:57off two years ago so I’m not saying that
4:00it should fall to the Department of
4:02Justice to be the only check on a
4:05criminal ex-president but he’s all we
4:08have it’s one of the two parties having
4:09broken bad and with the evidence of
4:13obstructing the criminal investigation
4:15to the documents is so brazenly
4:18publicized why not start by charging
4:21that
4:22yeah absolutely and I think I I I you
4:25know I’m someone who does think that
4:27Garland will do that and he’ll do it
4:28soon after the election again he doesn’t
4:31want to but I don’t think he’s got a
4:33choice there’s not a way to look the
4:35other way but why hang on uh Neil let me
4:38let Michael get in here yeah I’m so
4:39sorry Neil right this reminds me of our
4:41podcast together but why why wait till
4:44after the elections he committed the
4:46crime We Know It And every day that he’s
4:49running free he is again a clear and
4:52present danger to our country I don’t
4:54want to hear this nonsense from American
4:56well I don’t want to be you know accused
4:58of
4:59messing up the midterm elections one way
5:01or the other Michael we could have some
5:04you know theoretical debate
5:08debates ago we’re at October
5:11October I think even someone like me
5:13who’s very much thinks Trump needs to be
5:15prosecuted I don’t see that I don’t see
5:18any reason not to wait till after the
5:20election since it’s so close now
5:22criticize them all you want for not
5:23doing it earlier in the summer because I
5:25think if it were you or me who took any
5:27of these documents we’d be you know
5:29indicted at this point and already in
5:31trial so Neil one of the reasons I say
5:33Neil one of the reasons I say that they
5:35need to do this now is because the whole
5:37world knows that he has these documents
5:40and we know that the only thing Donald
5:42cares about is money so you don’t even
5:44need to send to spy to Mar-A-Lago all
5:47you need to do is to get a message to
5:49him hey I’ll pay you a billion dollars
5:51I’ll put up some Swiss bank account if
5:54in fact you give us those nuclear
5:55information on Iran or on China or
5:59whatever else you have hidden stash
6:01somewhere we’ll pay you for it I mean
6:03that’s the problem every day that he’s
6:05free he’s running rampant and he’s a
6:07danger to our democracy I hear you
6:10Michael and I’m definitely not going to
6:12defend Donald Trump on this I agree with
6:14you about the motivations and so on but
6:16I do think law enforcement has any
6:18number of means available to it to make
6:20sure that Trump right now isn’t an
6:23active threat so I don’t worry about the
6:26harm now I do worry about what he has
6:28done and what he will do in the future
6:30but in terms of the selling of these
6:32secrets right now that’s something at
6:34least that doesn’t concern me Neil let
6:36me ask you about the other huge headline
6:38today a subpoena invoking the history of
6:41ex-presidents testifying before Congress
6:44Michael’s affirmed no but without
6:47respect or show up I think the showman
6:50in him and sort of the um the old tired
6:52Lounge act that’s desperate for a new a
6:55new crowd a new audience maybe tempted
6:57to comply but I know I remember from
6:59covering the Mueller investigation his
7:01lawyers will never let him sit before a
7:03body knowing he’ll perjure himself where
7:05do you come down on the history that the
7:07select committee made today by
7:08subpoenaing Donald Trump in a very
7:10specific list of documents that they
7:12also subpoenaed well Trump is not going
7:14to listen to his lawyers so that doesn’t
7:16that that doesn’t surprise me but um you
7:18know and yes he’s a showman so he’ll do
7:20all sorts of stuff on Fox or you know
7:22with his truth social you know screeds
7:24but I see no chance that he’s going to
7:27actually testify because as much as he’s
7:29a showman he also knows what part what
7:32perjury is and testifying under oath and
7:34we’re talking about a guy who took the
7:36Fifth Amendment more than 400 times in
7:40the New York investigation so do we
7:42think now he’s suddenly going to go
7:43ahead and and testify I really doubt it
7:46so Congress would be forced to basically
7:48compel his testimony that’s what’s
7:50happened in four other cases including
7:53Steve Bannon who noted Nicole was
7:55prosecuted and sentenced today for doing
7:58this for not for defying a congressional
8:00subpoena the house has once uh
8:04subpoenaed a former president uh former
8:07president uh Truman uh he refused and
8:10ultimately the Congress didn’t seek to
8:12enforce The subpoena so they do have
8:16some precedenting a congressional
8:18subpoena the house has once uh
8:22subpoenaed a former president uh former
8:24president uh Truman uh he refused and
8:27ultimately the Congress didn’t seek to
8:30enforce the subpoena
8:32um so they do have some precedent for at
8:34least the action today but to actually
8:37take the next step of compelling The
8:39subpoena and asking the just Foreman to
8:41prosecute hasn’t been done before but
8:43that should be no barrier at all because
8:45what Donald Trump did as president to
8:48this country on January 6th has never
8:50been done before either and I know as a
8:54student of your musings and writings um
8:56that you would argue that he has no idea
8:58of the history he just doesn’t care
9:00about anybody that might actually
9:02threaten him or hold him accountable
9:04Truman who right I mean you know Truman
9:07Capote I mean you know he has no idea
9:09what he’s told me he’s not someone who
9:11has any any knowledge of history but
9:15more than that he doesn’t care about the
9:17history he doesn’t care if every other
9:19president complied
9:21I’m not complying right I don’t have
9:23internet
9:24that’s just who he is he is he’s a
9:27contrarian to everything but one thing
9:29he is is he’s a Survivor this son of a
9:32gun is surviving all of this and that’s
9:34why you know like Neil what you know
9:36when we had spoken in the past I tell
9:38her I said why are we wasting our time
9:40January 6th and and this and that just
9:43go after this go after the low-hanging
9:45fruit that’s what prosecutors do and
9:48that’s what the D.A here in New York had
9:50the D.A had that case with taxes but
9:53Alvin break just let it go you think
9:55we’ll ever understand why ask them get
9:58them on the show we’re trying we’re
10:00trying Neil katiel Michael Cohen thank
10:02you so much for being part of this
10:03conversation yes and author of the brand
10:05new bestseller Revenge how Donald Trump
10:08weaponized the U.S Department of Justice
10:10against his critics so
10:13we’re back with the book again but with
10:15your
10:17more I think intangible warning that his
10:20autocratic impulses would make these
10:23things the norm yeah this is Donald
10:26Trump Donald Trump does not care about
10:29policy he does not care about process he
10:32doesn’t care about the judicial system
10:34and he cares least of all about this
10:37committee which he has called fake since
10:39day number one rest assured Trump will
10:42not and I’ve been watching the news all
10:45day long and getting emails and text
10:47messages all right they subpoenaed him
10:49it means nothing it may be historic in
10:52America but it’s irrelevant why because
10:55Trump is not going to comply he will not
10:57comply with any of the documents that
10:59they’re seeking nor will he show up to
11:01testify why because he’s guilty and he
11:05knows it he will do what he does best
11:07that’s delayed delayed delay and
11:09criticize criticize criticize the entire
11:12process again trying to hold himself out
11:14as a victim what about the Mar-A-Lago
11:16investigation does that stand a better
11:18chance of holding him accountable no
11:20because he’s going to do the same thing
11:21he’s going to delay this post the you
11:24know election the midterm election and
11:27then by that time his hope is that the
11:30house will flip to because I know he
11:32likes the word flipping it will flip to
11:34Republican and they will somehow work
11:37his magic be loyal to him and put an end
11:40to this entire thing you know the the
11:43Durham investigation which was his fever
11:46dream of an investigation into the
11:48investigators ended and ended with a
11:50whimper no convictions to acquittals one
11:54guilty plea but Trump thought it was
11:57going to take down the Mueller
11:59investigators you’ve warned that that
12:00would become The New Normal if you were
12:02to ever be near the Oval Office again
12:04explain and it and it will I mean there
12:06will be nothing that we know will
12:10continue to exist he will change the
12:13entire way that we live our lives here
12:15in America if he or a Donald Trump 2.0
12:18some act like that is loyal to him in
12:22the stupid way that I was loyal to him
12:25the America that we know will not be and
12:28that’s what Revenge really goes into
12:30it’s a warning it’s a road map to what
12:33Donald Trump tried to do during the time
12:36that he had power in terms of changing
12:38democracy into an autocracy for his own
12:41benefit and then look at the Mar-A-Lago
12:43documents it’s the same exact thing he
12:45didn’t he took those documents
12:47specifically for two things power and
12:51money and the fact that we’re even
12:53engaging in this conversation should be
12:56scary to every one of your viewers he
12:59took it for power so that he can call up
13:01Kim Jong-un he can call up Muhammad bin
13:03Salman he could call him or whomever and
13:06say hey I got some pretty serious
13:08documents here right then he’ll turn
13:11around and he’ll say but I won a billion
13:13dollars for him and I wanted an overseas
13:15account I want you to stick it in
13:16Jared’s hedge fund or something like
13:19that that’s all he thinks about how he
13:21was going to use the presidency of the
13:23United States from you know McDonald’s
13:25as this bloviated Oompa Loompa all right
13:29now he may be stupid which he is he’s
13:32unread he’s unlearned
13:34but he’s also evil he’s evil to the
13:37point yes you describe him as dog yes
13:40his dog and this is exactly the problem
13:43he is exactly what our forefathers our
13:46founding fathers of this of this country
13:48feared that there would be a president
13:50that wanted to be more than a president
13:52who wanted to be the autocrat dictate
13:55Monarch supreme ruler so you’re more
13:59fired up than you were the first two
14:01times you were here talking about the
14:02book is it what you’re seeing in our
14:04politics that people won’t wake up it’s
14:07scary how they won’t I don’t know how
14:09many more times
14:10people who know Donald people who
14:13legitimately know him and know what he’s
14:15thinking are coming forward like myself
14:18and this book this road map to
14:20protecting democracy
14:22and I’m trying to sound the warning
14:24alarm
14:25but everybody’s a hands off hands off
14:27right now oh it’s it’s Don it’s Donald
14:29right there he’s an idiot it doesn’t
14:30matter no it’s not true he’s an evil
14:33genius when it comes to what he’s doing
14:36and all of this all of this is
14:38pre-planned what do you and we we talked
14:42a little bit about how you know we’re
14:43three weeks from lesson through some
14:45election here and this is not it’s on
14:47the list but it’s not top of mind you
14:49think it should be it should be if you
14:51look to see the the um pundits and the
14:54polls that’s all you know I have no
14:56regard for these polls right now but if
14:58you do look it says who right says me
15:01and by the way I was right so so going
15:04back to this at the end of the day what
15:07do you have we have a real problem here
15:09the American people are more concerned
15:11about the economy and finances and oil
15:14prices than they are about democracy
15:17rest assured if you don’t have democracy
15:19you don’t have any of this and they’re
15:21trying to constantly put Joe Biden
15:24behind the age people and say oh you
15:27messed up the economy you guys did you
15:29see today 1.8 trillion dollars taking
15:32off our deficit hey by the way folks one
15:35of the things you have to understand
15:36that’s our kids future right there’s no
15:39way that they can pay this money back
15:41but this guy’s doing something right
15:43with 1.8 trillion now personally what
15:46I’d like to see open up the open up the
15:48um fracking open up oil exploration we
15:51have 360 billion Barrels in this country
15:54more than Russia and Saudi Arabia
15:56combined open it up let’s use that to
15:58pay off our deficit that’s what I would
16:00do but in the meantime I think Joe’s
16:02doing an excellent job there are things
16:05I don’t like but I think he’s doing an
16:07excellent job based on the hand he was
16:09dealt what do you think it is and you
16:13I’ve been having this conversation all
16:14week the notion that people wouldn’t
16:16vote for Democratic candidates because
16:18of the economy the other choice is a is
16:21a lunging move toward autocracy there
16:23are no thriving economies in autocracy
16:25by the way there’s no thriving economies
16:27right now in the world look at what’s
16:28going on in the UK look what’s going on
16:30everywhere around the world you know
16:32things especially because of covid have
16:34changed you know our world has changed
16:36or we need to take some time and we need
16:38to figure out how to adapt to be the
16:40strongest and the most you know vital
16:42country in the world because I I’ve
16:45heard this line all my life if you have
16:47a strong America you have a strong world
16:49if you have a weak America you have a
16:51weak World Trump made America weak and
16:54the world became weak and now you have
16:56Joe Biden who what do you think in a
16:57year he’s going to be able to just turn
16:59around and fix it no it takes time you
17:02know you break something takes time to
17:04fix it do you think that Trump took the
17:06Iran and China documents you know there
17:08are two of the specific areas of foreign
17:10policy that he needles President Joe
17:12Biden about most frequently do you think
17:15he took those on purpose and is
17:16leveraging everything Donald does is on
17:19purpose right the way that he took the
17:21documents the way that he had them
17:22brought to Mar-A-Lago the way he hid
17:25them the the way they sued he had to
17:27turn him over he didn’t turn him over
17:29they find more documents whether it’s
17:31Financial or these documents the scary
17:33part is we don’t know what additional
17:36documents this man is hiding on top of
17:38that Carolyn Maloney God bless her our
17:40congresswoman here what did she do she
17:43sends a letter on behalf of the house
17:44oversight committee to Nara to the
17:46National Archives stating I want you to
17:49send the letter to Trump demanding
17:52demanding that he signed a document
17:55acknowledging that he doesn’t have any
17:58more documents he didn’t show them or
17:59give them to anybody there’s no other
18:01documents that are hidden anywhere under
18:03the penalty of perjury
18:04so far narrow didn’t do it so what is
18:07the house oversight under congresswoman
18:09Maloney do
18:10she sends one to Donald and what does he
18:12do with that puts it off to the side
18:14with some of the bills that he owes
18:15contractors and what and do you think
18:18she’ll ever get her answer no no he
18:21doesn’t respect the process and again
18:23this is the whole problem this is a
18:25petulant child that you tell them don’t
18:28stick your finger into the electric
18:29socket now I can do it I can do whatever
18:31I want and he’ll stick his finger and
18:33he’ll get shocked like what’s going on
18:34now subpoena’s lawsuits Etc but at the
18:38end of the day it’s not killing them and
18:40that’s why I keep going back to the same
18:42thing let’s stop the nonsense let’s go
18:45after the low hanging fruit the Al
18:46Capone Theory we already know He tax
18:48evaded enough why are we worrying about
18:51this don’t worry about murder at
18:53racketeering extortion as they did with
18:55Capone get him on tax evasion let’s put
18:57this Menace right this Mandarin
19:00Mussolini Menace Behind Bars which is
19:02where he belongs do you think that’ll
19:04ever happen no no I don’t think you
19:06could put a president Behind Bars to be
19:08honest because as I’ve said many times
19:09your show included he would sell
19:12America’s Secrets our national security
19:14secrets for a book of stamps or a tuna
19:18right while inside and that would make
19:20that would actually hurt our country it
19:22would put us they would give him a very
19:25severeign do you think that appeasing
19:28him because I mean I think the whole the
19:30whole frame around law enforcement has
19:32been we can’t do that or will make his
19:33people mad what like they’ll storm the
19:35U.S Capitol and five cops will die it
19:37already happened I mean do you think
19:39that the policies and politics of
19:41appeasement are working no clearly not
19:43nothing is working because we’re slow
19:47walking these indictments thank God for
19:49Tish James she’s going to be the one
19:51that’s going to set this thing in motion
19:52she’s going to put his company out of
19:54business and you know well you know I’m
19:56not 100 certain about that one because
19:58there’s an issue of men’s Rea there
20:00where he’ll say they stole it they’re
20:02still eleven thousand seven virtually I
20:04won my votes back can’t you show you
20:06don’t have the guilty name Rosen telling
20:08him that that’s not true that they ran
20:10those things down and they’re not true
20:11doesn’t mean that he didn’t still think
20:13it and believe it you know let me just
20:15give you an example on how stupid Donald
20:17really is if he would have shut his
20:19mouth he would get away with so much
20:21more but he can’t help himself on his
20:23true social now he starts attacking
20:25aging Carol
20:27even if in fact that he had the defense
20:29of executive privilege at the time that
20:32he made those statements now he doesn’t
20:34he doesn’t understand that he’s not the
20:37president of the United States the fact
20:39that these dopes at marilardo are
20:41sitting there and that they’re you know
20:43calling him Mr President Mr President
20:44Donald you are not the president of the
20:47United States I want to look right into
20:49the camera and hope I know you’re
20:50watching you’re not the president of the
20:53United States of America Joe Biden is
20:55what is it what is Trump what is he uh
20:59twice impeached you know ex-president
21:01who lost who lost but cannot handle the
21:05fact that he lost do you think I mean
21:07you we’ve talked about how he carried a
21:09box of tchotchkes around from trip to
21:12trip with himself I think Maggie
21:14hebron’s written about Washington Post
21:15has written about it too you believe
21:17that they’re it’s worth peeking in his
21:19death stores at other residences for
21:21classified on August 31 on my Twitter
21:25account I posted okay great they found
21:27documents at Mar-A-Lago
21:30rest assured the FBI needs to
21:33immediately immediately search all the
21:36locations that Waldo has been at no
21:39matter wherever he went I don’t care if
21:42it was Bedminster I don’t care if it was
21:43trunk tower on Fifth Avenue I don’t care
21:46if it was DC when he had that meeting
21:48with the golf people wherever he went
21:50and they know where he went because
21:52there’s a log of that you have to check
21:54wherever he was at including the kids
21:56houses Don’s house ivank and Jared’s
21:59right uh Eric’s house all of them you
22:02need to check because I guarantee you
22:04there’s more documents at those
22:06locations that’s what I believe knowing
22:08the way he behaves he’s not going to put
22:11all his candy in one place right he
22:13needs to spread it out
22:14what do you make of the fact that all
22:17the tools at our disposal don’t work I
22:19mean you know with the one six committee
22:21has done is remarkable because they’ve
22:22just dumped their evidence into the
22:24public so that crowdsourcing Justice
22:25because to your point nothing else has
22:27worked so we’ve got all the evidence of
22:29what he knew and what he thought he was
22:30told that he lost he confesses in The
22:33Colonnade to Mark Meadows and Cassidy
22:35Hutchinson I don’t want anyone to know
22:37we lost well you know everyone in the
22:39world knows you lost because everyone
22:40tracks what happens in in America to
22:43your point what do you think should
22:44happen if none of the normal systems for
22:47accountability work yeah this is this is
22:50our fault this is and I and I don’t want
22:53to be as critical as I am of Merrick
22:55Garland but enough is enough so what’s
22:57going to happen now with the January 6
22:59committee and what a great historical
23:01document like Mueller that they did what
23:04came out of the molar report a
23:05historical document but no but no
23:08responsibility no accountability by
23:10Donald or anybody else same thing will
23:12happen and he calls zelinski the day he
23:14gets away away with Mueller so the day
23:16that after Miller testified is when he
23:18called zelenski he’s he has displayed a
23:20pattern of being emboldened
23:22you know what do you think he’ll do next
23:24if he gets away with this well and he
23:26feels that he is so January 6 what are
23:28they gonna do you hear all the puns go
23:30well you know there’s two things they’re
23:31going to subpoena him and he if he
23:33violates the negative send it to the doj
23:35or that they can actually uh issue stop
23:38it’s not happening all right they can
23:40send it to Merrick Garland and like all
23:43the other stuff that’s sitting now with
23:44Merrick Garland it’s just gonna sit
23:46there why
23:47I don’t understand Merrick Garland We
23:50need somebody in between Merrick Garland
23:52and Bill Barr a guy who you know he’s
23:54another one who I absolutely despise
23:56with a passion he should or he should
23:59come clean and talk about all the things
24:01that Donald told him to do including
24:03what he did to me with the
24:04unconstitutional remade that’s what he
24:06should do if he wants to be invited back
24:08into polite Society otherwise disappear
24:10with Donald take him with you right but
24:13at the end of the day the same thing’s
24:15gonna happen with January 6. we need
24:18somebody in between you can’t be so
24:20methodical because our democracy is and
24:24you know in the last page of my book I
24:26told her I said trumpism is fascism and
24:28we need to eradicate this from our body
24:31politics people don’t understand just
24:33how fragile democracy is and right now
24:36we’re on a shoestring so that’s why I
24:38implore everybody on my Podcast May I
24:40call book when I speak on shows or I go
24:43on tell uh you know news newspapers
24:46get out there and vote and if you’re
24:48going make sure five of your friends are
24:50going and especially the young gen Z’s
24:52after Rob
24:53um after uh Roe versus Wade and this is
24:56this isn’t funny anymore right this is
24:58our democracy and the way we know
25:01democracy
25:02come after November there’s a great
25:04chance that we may never see anything
25:06similar to what we grew up with will you
25:09stay here uh if if Donald or any of his
25:12acolytes become president
25:14my first move was I was going to move to
25:16Canada I have family that lives there my
25:18dad was from Toronto I have all my
25:20cousins that live there my biggest fear
25:23and I I know this is going to sound
25:24crazy
25:25Donald is a huge fan of Vladimir Putin’s
25:28everything that Putin does Muhammad bin
25:30Salman he likes dictators so if in fact
25:33he follows suit where Putin annexed
25:36Ukraine don’t be shocked if Trump
25:38decides he wants to Annex or his Trump
25:412.0 let’s Annex Mexico and Canada well
25:45then I got to run out of Canada too how
25:47many times can I move let me ask you one
25:49more question uh Mary McCord was here
25:51and she comes at the election denialism
25:53as the National Security crisis that I
25:55think you understand it to be as well
25:56and she said you know if we if we go
25:59down this path and if the ability for
26:01state legislatures to have more power
26:04and almost Trump state constitutions
26:07um if if some of those legal tasks go
26:09their way we could be looking at a very
26:12dangerous moment where elections aren’t
26:14what we think they are where the voters
26:15aren’t actually choosing their leaders
26:17do you think that’s a real I do and if
26:20you go back into some of my earlier
26:22earlier
26:23um appearances on MSNBC CNN or any of
26:27them I told her I told you that there
26:29was an adage that Trump used to quote
26:31and it was a Vladimir Putin it was or
26:33Stalin I should say
26:35um adage which is it doesn’t matter
26:37who’s um who you vote for all that
26:40matters is who’s counting the vote and
26:42that was a comment he used to say often
26:44now again I’m sorry anyway in 2016. and
26:48it was you know you sit there you
26:49scratch your head and you say that’s
26:51kind of not like the way that we do it
26:53but it’s just

13 hours ago (edited)The one thing that gives me hope, is knowing at the end of the day, Mr. Trump is one day older and one day closer to meeting his maker. Mr. Trump’s EVIL will come to an end and his power over the very weak Republican Party will also end. When Mr. Trump goes to meet his maker, there will be many great celebrations across this Earth. I am 80 years old and more than likely I will not live long enough to see these celebrations. So I celebrate this day every day knowing Mr. Trump is one day closer to meeting his maker. This will be one subpoena that Mr. Trump won’t be able to ignore.

7 hours agoAll respect to Neal Katyal, though trump would sell these secrets right now if he could, and it is more likely than not that he has more classified documents right now, too. He should have been arrested a long time ago. Now the criminal justice system of the U.S. appears tentative, weak and ineffectual. This delay matters in a brutally negative way, worldwide.

Giving him a break – that’s what it is, however temporary it is – gives him time to do God knows what next AND sends the message to the world that all the talk about the rule of law here is just that. Talk.

5 hours agoYou said it all…America is only America with democracy. If the democracy is lost, America is over for good. You finances and economy is protected because of democracy. Imagine the opposite system where your wealth can be taken off from you just like that. So please protect the democracy for the sake of America and you will continue to flourish.

2 hours agoI admire Cohen for saying it like it is. I fear for the consequences if Trump is not held legally accountable for his deplorable actions. He’s a very sick man.

10 hours agoEliminate All Law books. Let the World be free of rules and regulations by the Federal, State and all governments who want to rule be gone. Trump is a great example of my writing. Garland will never do what is right for America. Garland will never protect our democracy. No more Social Studies classes for our children, what are they learning, nothing. Donald needs to be prosecuted in order for America to move forward.

7 hours ago (edited)Cohen, while entertaining, is too bitter to be calm in his assessments. Katyal is by far the more experienced prosecutor. Cohen became VISIBLY angry after Katyal spoke. AND J6 IS NOT A WASTE OF TIME , Mr. COHEN
