So, folks, 3 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: once again, news has broken that Donald Trump has broken 4 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: the law. Once again, that Donald Trump's crime spree from before, during, 5 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: and after his disgraceful term as president of these United 6 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: States fucking continues. The New York Times has reported that, oh, 7 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: along with packing up i'm sure all of his McDonald's 8 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: rappers and packages and red fucking ties, that he also 9 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: happened to pack up a bunch of you know, top 10 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: secret documents and information that should have remained with the 11 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: National Archives, and that the National Archives apparently has been 12 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: negotiating with Donald Trump for over a year now in 13 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: order to get those you know, documents returned. I'm going 14 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: to get into a conversation with our friend Glenn Kirshner, 15 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: and you know, I will tell you that in the year, 16 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: in the two years that we have been in regular 17 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: conversation with Glenn, Glenn has always been my He's always 18 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: been my beacon. He's always you restored my faith that 19 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: we need to keep pushing forward and that you know, 20 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: justice indeed matters, and that it will prevail, even now 21 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: though Glenn is beginning to look around and wonder what 22 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: the hell is going on with the Department of Justice. 23 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: The Department of Justice when they walked in, had all 24 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: of the documentation from the Muller Report, had all of 25 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: the documentation that had been done over the last four 26 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: years of the Trump had been stration that they could 27 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: have rolled out indictments after Joe Biden had put his 28 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: hand on the Bible and became the forty the forty 29 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: six president of the United States, but instead they decided 30 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: not to. And we'll have a conversation today about how 31 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: this administration, Department of Justice, and both parties, Democrat and Republican, 32 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: continue to want to turn the page on the Trump 33 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: administration and on the one six insurrection. And I'm saying, 34 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: how the fuck did we get here when we're the 35 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: only ones right, the citizens of these United States are 36 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: the only ones that actually still give a damn about justice, 37 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: that give a damn about accountability. So, on one hand, 38 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: you have Republicans that want to turn the page. They 39 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: don't want the RNC to bring up the fact that, 40 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: you know, they believe that one six was rightful political discourse, justifiable, 41 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: political discourse. They want to be able to move forward 42 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: so that they can once again take power. We're not 43 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: as a way to advance, you know, the American people, 44 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: not as a way to ease our day to day lives, 45 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: but so that they can, you know, have their moment 46 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: in the sun to reactivate their long standing grudges against 47 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: Democrats for having the audacity to want to hold the 48 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: forty fifth president of the United States to account for 49 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: his fucking crimes. Right, and so instead of pursuing policy 50 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: that would help our lives be at easier for us 51 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: to come to the table as a more equitable and 52 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: just society. We know what Republicans are going to do 53 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: right when they get the gavel back, and so that's 54 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: the reason why they don't. They want to turn the 55 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: page right and move forward. But then you have Democrats, 56 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: who we all stood out and fucking line for risk 57 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: our lives at the height of a health pandemic in 58 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: order to vote in accountability and responsibility, also wanting to 59 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: turn the page because they want to talk about bigger 60 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: agenda and bigger plans for the American people. Folks, I 61 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: can tell you that there is no bigger agenda. Then 62 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: ensuring that the rule of law is not just for 63 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: those that have no money and those that are marginalized 64 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: or those that don't have the right kind of complexion, right, 65 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: too much melanin in order to be seen as innocent 66 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: before guilty. Right, that the rule of law in this 67 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: country is something that, regardless of Donald Trump's attempts and 68 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: the attempts of this cult the Republican Party, that we 69 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: would in fact make sure that people in this country 70 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: have a restored faith in their Department of Justice, in 71 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: their government to do what's right even when it is uncomfortable. 72 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: Now we know right now that Republican's new favorite word 73 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: is discomfort. We don't want white people to feel uncomfortable. 74 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: We don't want white people to have to come face 75 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: to face with their own fucking book bullshit. Right. So 76 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: this is where we are where I will say, and 77 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: you'll hear in this interview with Glenn where I'm just 78 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: like you know, are we at a place where we 79 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: as a collective right should just issue civil lawsuits against 80 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump for the abuse and the assault on the 81 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: people of these United States, Like if our Department of 82 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: Justice is no longer in a position or has the 83 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: desire to ensure that justice does prevail, then what is 84 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: the responsibility or what is the ability of the American 85 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: people to do what our electeds won't Because you see, folks, 86 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: we are careering, careening towards the end of our democracy. 87 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: We all know this, we feel it, we sense it, 88 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: we know where mid term elections are going to go. Now, 89 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: I will continue right to tell folks, register to vote, 90 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: make sure your names are on the role, do all 91 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: of those things. But at the end of the day, 92 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: if you are not creating the guardrails, if you are 93 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: not making sure that my vote is actually going to count, 94 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: and instead you are doubling down on jerrymandering, and then 95 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: Democrats are only tap dancing for your vote every four years. 96 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,119 Speaker 1: But black and brown person, when we get into office, 97 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: we ain't gonna do shit for you. How do we 98 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: think that it's going to continue moving forward? Right? How 99 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: do we think that this country is going to continue 100 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: moving forward? So you know, I will say that the 101 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: times are deeply precarious. The road that we are on 102 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: is not one that frankly I saw coming. And you know, 103 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: and I will say and offer that every single time 104 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,559 Speaker 1: that I see Donald Trump's name in headlines, every single 105 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: time that yet there is another another way in which 106 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: he has manipulated this country where he has torched our 107 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: political norms, where he has operated like teflon don being 108 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: above the fucking law, and that no one bothers to 109 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: want to do the hard work of making sure that 110 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: he is held responsible and accountable for his crimes. I 111 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: want to scream. I want to scream because if I 112 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: know that how I'm feeling, and I'm a person that 113 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: is highly engaged right in politics, then how do we 114 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: think that folks who aren't listening to wokeiak who are 115 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: trying to go back to quote unquote normal, how do 116 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: we think that they are feeling about our body politic 117 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: right now and our democracy. There are too many times 118 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: when I'm getting on the phone with folks and they're like, yeah, 119 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: I stop watching the news. I don't care anymore. I 120 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: care about what's happening inside my own home, inside of 121 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: my own block, inside of my own community, whatever else 122 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: is happening. Go with God. That's the conversations that I'm 123 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: having with people who in fact, had dedicated their lives 124 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: to public service and who are now saying, nah, I 125 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: don't think so. So you know, I can't pretend to 126 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: say that I have all the answers, because I don't. 127 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: I have more questions. I have more questions about what 128 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: the fuck Democrats are actually doing. I have questions about 129 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: what it is that Joe Biden thinks that he's going 130 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: to get done, being as how he's gotten very little 131 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: done in his first year and by the time that 132 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: we get to midterms, his first two years that he 133 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: has gotten very little done. What does he think is 134 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: going to happen when Republicans take control of the House 135 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: and possibly the Senate. Does he think that he's going 136 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: to be holding these like White House summits and they're 137 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,359 Speaker 1: not going to try and impeach him and hold ridiculous, 138 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: highly publicized hearings to do what pull another Benghazi, but 139 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: this time Benghazi on crack. I don't know where their 140 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: heads are at, folks, but I will say this about 141 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: where my head is at, is that we need to 142 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: really start focusing on the local level. We need to 143 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: start focusing on the things that we can control, on 144 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: our school boards, on our city councils. Right, if you 145 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: have even the smallest inkling to run for office, any office, 146 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: I say go and do it. Right, because it is 147 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: going to take all of us taking matters into our 148 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: own hands in order to get things done in this country. 149 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: Because what we realize, what I have realized over the 150 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: last several years under Donald Trump and now with Biden, 151 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: is that our elected officials do not apparently have an 152 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: alarm bell that goes off in their heads. They have 153 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: no sense of urgency. They think that, like the majority 154 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: of Americans, want to do the right thing. And I'm 155 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: telling you, given the opportunity to not do the right 156 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: thing and face absolutely no fucking consequences for it, that's 157 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: what they will choose. So the difference is, now, folks, 158 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: what are we choosing? Because I don't want us to 159 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: just lay down and fucking take it whatever it is 160 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: that either one of these parties are dishing out right, 161 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: which is either disappointment or disrespect. So coming up next 162 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: is my conversation with our friend Glenn Kirshner to walk 163 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: us through the latest bullshit stinking up Mara Lago and 164 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: continuing to plant a stain on our nation's democracy. Good morning, friends, 165 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: it is another day in America where Donald Trump is 166 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: getting away with yet another crime. Could we leave our 167 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: homes knowing that there was top secret documents there that 168 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: belong to the National Archives, that belong to the federal government. 169 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: Could we walk around committing crimes left and right, surrounding 170 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: ourselves with people who need to plead the fifth over 171 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: a hundred times when interviewed about their relationship ship with 172 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: me with the administration. No, no, we couldn't. But another 173 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: day in America reveals to us what that Donald Trump 174 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: can do no wrong. That the name that he received 175 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: in New York during his time as a real estate mogul, 176 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: and I put that in quotations, being called teflon don Yeah, 177 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: nothing sticks. So to walk us through the latest once again, 178 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: is our friend Glenn Kirshner, MSNBC legal analyst and the 179 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: host of Justice Matters. Glenn, I gotta ask you, does 180 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: justice matter as it pertains to Donald Trump? It does it? 181 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: I mean, at this point should we even care? Or 182 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: should we just continue about our days? Danielle I made 183 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: a very exasperated video yesterday after the latest revelation about 184 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump whisking away to Marrow Lago classified materials in 185 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: violation of yet another teral statute. And we can talk 186 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: about it in a minute, But I said, you know, 187 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: we the people are out here abiding by the laws 188 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: of the United States, and I think it is deeply 189 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: disrespectful of us that high government officials have violated countless 190 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: federal laws victimize the people of the United States, and 191 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: they're prancing around footloose and fancy free. So I think 192 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: justice matters to us. I think if we care about 193 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: our nation, justice has to matter it timely. Justice does 194 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: not matter to the Department of Justice. And you know 195 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: it's one of the three words in the title, Department 196 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: of Justice. And yet I don't think anybody can argue 197 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: with a straight face or in a fact based way 198 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: that there has been timely justice for what we have endured, 199 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: this unabated crime wave of Donald Trump and company. So 200 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: I am I'm at my wits end now, as I say, 201 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna get up every morning, We're gonna pull on 202 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: the gloves and we're gonna keep punching because there's no alternative, 203 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: I don't think. But you know, when we hear and 204 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: you know what infuriates me, I think more than the 205 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:34,479 Speaker 1: fact that he's been destroying presidential documents all along. Amorrosa 206 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: told us years ago that she walked into the Oval office, 207 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen was there and Donald Trump was there. That 208 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: was not an aboveboard conversation going on. And when she 209 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: walks in, Donald Trump pops a piece of paper in 210 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: his mouth and starts chewing it up. Why to destroy 211 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: evidence of his own misconduct? Right? I don't even care 212 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: so much about all of that, because that is who 213 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is. He's a mob bus. What I care 214 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: about most, and what I'm going to probably vent about today, 215 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: is that we heard reporting that the National Archives has 216 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: been negotiating with Donald Trump for more than a year 217 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: to do what to claw back evidence of crime that 218 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was housing at Mara Lago. Danielle, If you 219 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: or I had improperly removed classified material, If we had destroyed, removed, 220 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: or mutilated government records or documents, those are two separate 221 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: crimes I just mentioned. Let me mention a third if 222 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: we had taken documents that belong to the United States 223 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: and violation of the Presidential Records Act. That's three different 224 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: federal statutes he violated. If we had that stuff. Do 225 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: you think the federal government would negotiate with us, you know, 226 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: in hostage like fashion, for a year, or do you 227 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: think one minute after they found out we had violated 228 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: those laws, there would have been federal agents banging in 229 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: our door, guns drawn after having obtained a search warrant 230 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: and taken back the evidence of crime we were in 231 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: possession of. That's the insanity of the way our federal 232 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: government has gone about dealing with Donald Trump's crimes. I 233 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: just you know, here's the thing is that even as 234 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: you're saying this, I'm like, didn't we just try one 235 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: of the insurrectionists for removing documents from Nancy Pelosi's office, right, 236 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: like it's a crime. And I'm just so tired of 237 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: hearing that we are a nation of laws when we 238 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: know that that's not true. We're not ana of laws. 239 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: We're a nation of laws that applies to those that 240 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: are most marginalized, those that are most downtrodden, those that 241 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: can't bribe their way out, lie their way out, and 242 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: don't have the right complexion to get their way out. Right. 243 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: And so we have a case of a woman, once again, 244 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: black woman, six years in federal prison for the crime 245 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: of what not knowing that she couldn't vote in the 246 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: United States. Donald Trump, up and down these United States, 247 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: up and down this country has been lying cheating, stealing, 248 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: using the White House as essentially a money laundering operation 249 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: from diplomats and foreign entities. And we know all of this. 250 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: We know all of it. So I'm like, Glenn, you know, 251 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: at this point in time, I try not to get 252 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: my blood pressure up anymore because I don't think it matters, right, Like, 253 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how to continue to sustain a level 254 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: of anger and outrage when I am no longer shocked 255 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: by the ineptitude of this Department of Justice and this administration. 256 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: So tell me how you think that we're going to 257 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: see this play out other than by the headlines, because 258 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: those are the only people that are doing any work. 259 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: Are the journalists that are out there right that are saying, Hey, 260 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: Department of Justice, look what we've unearthed, Look what we've discovered, 261 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: And then nada. I don't know how this is going 262 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: to play out. You know, even though we have more 263 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: revelations about more Trump crimes that have gone unaddressed, I 264 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: still find it impossible to conceive of a Department of 265 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: Justice that has all of this evidence of crime and 266 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: just completely disregards it and lets our nation limp toward 267 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: the end of our democracy. I don't at this point, 268 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: it's just faith. I don't even know if it's hope. 269 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: It's certainly not a realistic expectation based on what we've 270 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: seen do. I still think that federal prosecutors are doing 271 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: what federal prosecutors do, which is moved too slowly, investigate 272 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: everything exhaustively and to perfection in the grand jury before 273 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: they're ever willing to return indictments against anybody other than 274 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: the foot soldiers who attack the Capitol on January sixth, 275 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: and that they're gonna indict their way up the chain. 276 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,239 Speaker 1: I still believe that's going to happen. The question is 277 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: will it be too late, and you know, will it 278 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: be too little? Will the House end up flipping to 279 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: the Republicans, at which point the Department of Justice's work 280 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: will slow from a crawl to a halt, not because 281 00:18:55,160 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: DJ will make those changes itself, but because then it's 282 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: all frivolous subpoenas all the time. It's like a Benghazi 283 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: investigation on steroids, where all the Republican controlled House does 284 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: is carpet bomb the Department of Justice and the Executive 285 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: branch more broadly with congressional subpoenas and then find reasons 286 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: to say you're in non compliance, lock them up using 287 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: the power of inherent contempt that the Democrats in Congress 288 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: refuse to use. So you can see this gathering on 289 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: the horizon. And the only question is does the Department 290 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: of Justice care enough to accelerate whatever it's doing and 291 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: start indicting the insiders of the insurrection, the coup plotters, 292 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: the conspirators who designed Green Bay sweeps and false electors 293 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: and fraudulent legal challe lenges. I don't know. I don't 294 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: know if the Department of Justice has it in them, 295 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: has it in its DNA to do what's necessary to 296 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: keep our republic up and running. I don't know. You know, 297 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: the RNC once again showed its hand, said the quiet 298 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: part out loud. Right, we're going to censure anyone that 299 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: doesn't go along with the big lie, that doesn't fall 300 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: in line with the party and do what is necessary 301 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: in order to advance our authoritarian ideals. Right, they are 302 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: telling you that out loud. When we get power, we 303 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: have one desire. It is to discredit and dismantle the 304 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: Biden administration with a series of impeachment hearings to impeach him. 305 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: On what right they're going to take part this administration, 306 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: they're going to take apart any small bit of investigation 307 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: that has been going on. We know all of this, Glenn, 308 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. I would assume that those career 309 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: officials inside that have been there for decades also are 310 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: aware of the politics of our current moment. And so 311 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: there's no sign of anything changing in the next seven 312 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: eight nine months. And so I for me, you know, 313 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: I did have faith. I had faith that by the 314 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: time that we reached the year anniversary of the insurrection 315 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: that those that were pulling the levers of power would 316 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: be behind bars or at least awaiting trial, right, which 317 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: means that they would have been indicted. But to continue 318 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: to show the American people that so long as you 319 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: have enough money, right and like, you can be above 320 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: the law. So, you know, I harken back to the 321 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: press conference that Merritt Garland gave a couple of weeks ago, 322 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: and we're all sitting there waiting for some type of 323 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: announcement nothing. This administration, everybody, it seems, wants to turn 324 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: the page on the insurrection for a different reason. Republicans 325 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell says to RNC chair, we need to stop 326 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: talking about the insurrection because we have the House and 327 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: possibly the Senate within our grasps. If we keep looking backwards, right, 328 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: then we're going to remind the American people who exactly 329 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: is responsible for the insurrection. Then you have a Democratic 330 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: party that says, ah, we want to turn the page. 331 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: We have bigger agenda items, we want to do work 332 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: for the American people. Everybody, Glenn wants to turn the page. 333 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: How is it that both parties, for different reasons, want 334 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: to turn the page and the rest of our stre 335 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: hanging on believing that this criminal president who victimized so many, 336 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: all of us, it's just going to get away scott free. Yeah, 337 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: they keep turning pages. The end of the book and 338 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: the end of the story is the end of our republic. 339 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: So without accountability, we don't remain viable. We just don't. 340 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: And when you you know, in yesterday's video, I catalog 341 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: just you know, the top ten hits of Donald Trump's crimes, 342 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: starting with the campaign finance violation, conspiracy he was in 343 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: with Michael Cohen on the front end to get elected unlawfully, 344 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: not even talking about his encouraging Russian interference to help 345 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: him win the presidency. And then you know, you tick 346 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: through everything he did moving forward, you know, bribing and 347 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: extorting President Zelenski. Ten counts of felony, instruction of justice 348 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 1: that's been investigated and is ready to be indicted. Sitting 349 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: in there in volume two of the Muller Report, he 350 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: made false statements to Muller in his written answers to questions. 351 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: Each one is a five year federal felony. He obstructed 352 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: congressional proceedings a thousand times over by telling his executive 353 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: branch officials do not comply with lawfully issued congressional subpoenas. 354 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: He didn't tell them to invoke executive privilege. He just 355 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: said be in contempt, and they were, and he has 356 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: not been held accountable for that. He witnessed hampering of 357 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: Ambassador Marie Ivanovitch avoidable COVID debts. Take it from this 358 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: old homicide prosecutor. There's criminal liability for what he did 359 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: to the American people by lying to us and chasing 360 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: us all out into a deadly oncoming pandemic, inciting an insurrection, 361 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: conspiring to criminally overturn a president election. And now we 362 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: can add multiple counts of destroying documents and mishandling classified 363 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: information and all for naught. If we turn the page 364 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: on that, then the next president will have no reason 365 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: and no motivation to behave in a lawful manner. He 366 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 1: or she just won't. I hope it's a she, because 367 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: maybe then we've got some luck of pulling ourselves out 368 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: of this morass. But if you allow a criminal president 369 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: to run rampant during the presidency and after the presidency, 370 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: then it feels to me like we're done. I mean, 371 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: and that's the thing is that it does. It just 372 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: it feels like we're just done and we're spinning our 373 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: wheels and we're trying to have to continue to have 374 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: faith to believe that like justice will prevail. But you know, 375 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: this isn't a movie, right and it doesn't always when 376 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: empires fall, they don't have a happy ending. And you know, 377 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: I look around and I have to ask, because again, 378 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: the people inside of the walls of the Department of Justice, 379 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, what are they thinking? What are the murmurings? 380 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: Because I just I can't imagine honestly, going to work 381 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: day in and day out. You have dedicated your life 382 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: to public service, I can't imagine in this moment right now, 383 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,239 Speaker 1: when you have the ability to shift the course of 384 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: this country, to re establish rules and law and norms, 385 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: and that's not happening that your moral your commitment to 386 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: the job is still present. Yeah, I don't know. It's disheartening. 387 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 1: I think it's probably good that I'm out of government 388 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: after thirty years, because if I were inside government, the 389 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: first thing I would have done is I would present 390 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: a case to the grand jury for any number of 391 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump crimes, including his responsibility for avoidable COVID debts, 392 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: and the leadership at the Department of Justice would either 393 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: support me in that or would fire me, and I 394 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: would be I would welcome either of those two outcomes, 395 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: because when you see crime being committed in the harsh 396 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: light of day by high government officials, you can't not 397 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: respond any more than if my next door neighbor kept 398 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: breaking into my house, stealing my stuff, assaulting me and 399 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: my family over and over and over again, and I 400 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: reported it each time, and the evidence was there, and 401 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: the law enforcement authority said, oh, well, we're not doing 402 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: anything about it. Even if their response was we're just 403 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: going to keep investigating it to perfection, so in the 404 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: event we have to go to trial, someday our case 405 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: will be bulletproof and we can't lose, which is a fiction. 406 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: There is no such thing as a bulletproof case. But 407 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: that's what motivates federal prosecutors to investigate a case exhaustively 408 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: in the grand jury. It's it's in part a fear 409 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: of losing, a fear of embarrassment, and a fear of criticism. 410 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: But it's the same holds true if my local law 411 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: enforcement officials completely refuse to remedy or address the victimization 412 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: that was going on in my house to my family, 413 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: even though they had enough evidence to make an arrest. 414 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: What does that leave me to do, Danielle, What does 415 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: that lead mean to do? The American people are victims. 416 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: You know. I'm going to do a video about the 417 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: Crime Victims Rights Act, which says, and I quote, the 418 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: federal law is such that a victim of crime has 419 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: a right to be reasonably protected against the perpetrator. That's 420 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: one of the rights and the Crime Victims Bill of Rights, 421 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: the Crime Victims Rights Act. We are victims of Donald 422 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: Trump and Company's crimes. We have a statutory right to 423 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: be protected from the perpetrator, and the federal authorities are 424 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: not doing it. So you know, we can talk about 425 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: this all day long. We've identified the problem, we see 426 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: the damage. We don't have a remedy. We don't have 427 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: a remedy. You know what is also laughable to me 428 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: at this moment too, is the fact that how could 429 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice not see this as a slam 430 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: dunk when you are aware of the types of attorneys 431 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is surrounded himself with. They are not 432 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: the best and the brightest. They were laughed out of 433 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: sixty six different courtrooms, right. They have brought cases and 434 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: tried to I mean, what they are good at, right 435 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: is slowing down processes, That's what they're good at. But 436 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: actually coming up with a defense they have none. They 437 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: have no literal leg no legal leg to stand on. 438 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: So how is it that the Department of Justice, withal right, 439 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: the information in their arsenal, how did they look at 440 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: this and say, oh, no, we're uncertain about how this 441 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: could go. Look at who you're up against. It's like 442 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: a team of muppets, and I don't want to insult muppets, right, 443 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: So how do they look at these people, all of 444 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: these attorneys, some of whom are being investigated or have 445 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: been disbarred like Giuliani in different places and think to themselves, oh, 446 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if we can beat them. It really 447 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: and it doesn't even matter. The poor quality of Donald 448 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: Trump's attorneys and poor quality is giving them too much credit. 449 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: Their their clowns, their buffoons. Right. The evidence is so 450 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,959 Speaker 1: overwhelming of Donald Trump's crimes that there is no legal team, 451 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: no matter how good, how accomplished, that that could win 452 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: this case. I mean when I say I've taken a 453 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: lot of tough cases to trial, I won some, I 454 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: lost some. But when I say these are strong cases 455 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: against Donald Trump for a dozen or more crimes, that 456 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: is you know that that's my experience of thirty years 457 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: from being in courtrooms making that assessment. And what what's 458 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: so infuriating is and I have to relate it back 459 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: to my experience when I was in the grand jury 460 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: investigating crime. The way I believe the Department of Justice 461 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: is we know they're in the grand jury the insurrection 462 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: because they're returning indictments against people, and I can guarantee 463 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: they are not putting blinders on with respect to that investigation. 464 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: When you know there's evidence of the organizers and the 465 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: funders and the planners and the insiders coming in. That's 466 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: part of the grand jury investigation. You can't segregate that out. 467 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they're any closer to indicting those people, 468 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: but that's part of the grand jury investigation. When I 469 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: was in the grandjury investigating cases covertly before any arrest 470 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: had been made, the moment I had probable cause, I 471 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: had a decision to make, together with my team of 472 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: fellow prosecutors, FBI agents, law enforcement authorities, we now have 473 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: enough to indict. We now have enough to make an arrest. 474 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: As we've had against Donald Trump for years. Every day 475 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: we decline to make an arrest is a day we 476 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: are endangering public safety. And so the calculation was always 477 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: we have to indict. We have to make an arrest, 478 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: because if we don't, then all the bad stuff that 479 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: happens from this moment moving forward is on us. That's 480 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: where we are with Donald Trump. They have more than 481 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: enough to make an arrest ten times over of Donald Trump. 482 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: They had it back in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, 483 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: I guess the day after Joe Biden was sworn in. 484 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: They had it in the Mother Report. They had plenty 485 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: of evidence to indict him for felony obstruction of justice, 486 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: and they decline. They declined to for whatever reason. Every 487 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,959 Speaker 1: day they leave Donald Trump in the wind, in the 488 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: community to do more damage. That really is on the 489 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: Department of Justice because they've made a decision not to 490 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: indict him, not to arrest him, even though they have 491 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: enough evidence too. And that is the Department of just 492 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: falling down on the job. I mean, you know, Glenn, 493 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: you couldn't have put a better exclamation point. It is 494 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: it is. It is the Department of Justice.

In those civil 540 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:04,240 Speaker 1: suits take forever to work their way through the system. Unfortunately, 541 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: I would like an answer from the Department of Justice 542 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: that if crimes have been committed and there's more than 543 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: enough evidence to prove it, but DJ refuses to pursue 544 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 1: those crimes, can you please explain to us, the American people, 545 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: what our remedies are, What can we do to protect ourselves, 546 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: to protect our nation.
