President about the infiltration of the u. S. Governments most sensitive computer networks. Today the list of known hacked entities, it is growing multiple federal agencies and fortune 500 companies compromised, microsoft saying the attack is currently on going. Lawmakers briefed. The top democrat on the Oversight Committee saying she was quote very disturbed by the lack of details. In the meantime, bidens Transition Team is no longer getting details from the pentagon at all. Trumps acting pentagon chief halting cooperation calling it an eruption of mistrust over perceived leaks. Trump officials apparently blaming the biden team for a washington report about how much money would be saved by in fact halting border wall construction. The pentagons cooperation stopped the very next day. Again, donald trump not addressing the suspected russian attack and not addressing covid, either. A report highlighting none of trumps 729 tweets since the election have concerned the pandemics rising death toll. Tonight, many states say they are not getting the vaccine shipments they expected. Pfizer says it has millions of unclaimed vaccines. Remember, life saving, life changing vaccines with no instructions where to send them. Mike pence meanwhile getting vaccinated this morning. Joe biden announcing hes going to get the vaccine on monday but so far no sign from trump hes actually going to get vaccinated unlike then president barack obama who got vaccinated for h 1 11 h1n1 and donald trump neglecting to speak out or condemn the attacks on the american government. Joining me now is michael mcfaul. Michael steele and libby casey political reporter with the Washington Post. Thanks for joining us on this. We got a lot to cover in the next ten minutes or so. So lets get to it. Am basketba ambassador, this is astounding this hack because we have not heard from the president on anything about it condemning these attacks. How far reaching do you expect these attacks to be considering how many intelligence agencies believe russia is behind this attack . Well, it could well be the greatest cyber attack against the United States ever. We dont know the full details yet and i want to remind you we probably will never know the full details because there is a lot of classified material here theyre not going to release but the second point that you made is equally shocking. The greatest cyber attack against the United States probably in our history and the president of the United States, the commander in chief has not said one word about it. Its a consistent pattern, unfortunately, as we know when it comes to russia, he never criticizes Vladimir Putin. He is the commander in chief. He needs to speak up about this andmerican people what they need to do as a mitigation plan. Michael steele, it is far reaching. Obviously, as we heard the am basketball to ambassador talk about, its on going considering the fact its currently happening. Theyve identified this hack. They have seen that it has reached into every agency it seems. Possibly the department of defense and it is on going. I was reaching out to sources and i asked how is it youre communicating with one another because it may be your communications are being watc d watched. It is a stunning revelation. The am basketbabassador put hisn this. The president of the United States is commander in chief and in charge to be concerned about Homeland Security would step into this and marshall the forces within the government to shut it down, root it out, expose it thoroughly and condemn it publicly and that means take putin behind and ring it across the hot coals on this. Like we saw in the 2016 election and over the last four years, there is no stomach for that because whatever side deal or side piece donald trump wants to get from Vladimir Putin when he leaves office, he wants to make sure that relationship is sustained and maintained. That falls on the Incoming Administration it doesnt help its cut off with further briefings for the short term but every effort has got to be made by the biden team to make up the slack, the severe slack of the administration incompetence and incapability to manage cyber. Something were supposed to be at the top of the game and world, we sit like, you know, little children in the corner trying to figure out how to work a anyonintendo. I want to get to the pentagon story and d. O. D. And cutting off transition because it seems they are overwhelmed according to axios. The pentagon cant walk and chew gum at the same time. You have to do your job and its overwhelming at times. We will be getting to that. Am basketba ambassador weigh in what they will do once they get into office and theyre talking about imposing cost on putin and moscow because of this hack. What does that look like because you know putin firsthand. Youve obviously served in moscow. What will sending message to putin that he will actually hea hear . The biden Transition Team did release a statement and spoken the way the president has not. Thats good, thats important to do. Number two, they need to be careful to not make threats they cant make credible. This is a difficult world to make Credible Threats about and they should make sure that they have something they can do. And when you do that, i think the main thing that the Biden Administration should do or will do. I worked with the Vice President when i worked at the white house. Im confident he will. They need a grand strategy dealing with russia. They do something. We say what should we do in response to that . I want instead a grand strategy for containing putins russia thats multi dimensional and sustained for years that includes strengthening nato, sanctioning russians, supporting ukraine, fighting disinformation. Were not doing that very well. And a robust defensive cybersecurity that has been proven for four years we have not constructed that. So its got to be a big plan, a big strategy, not just reacting every time putin does one thing or the next. Hey, libby, lets talk about the pentagon coming out of axios. I reached out to Jonathan Swan and said what does overwhelmed mean . When the pentagon says folks in the pentagon are overwhelmed and they want to take a pause with transitions, im not quite sure what that means because that is your job as a Government Employee in the midst of the transition switching from one president to the next to enable them to provide for them information. The biden team saying they didnt agree to this transition and the pentagon saying they did. It looks like overall the real story is the trump team believes the biden camp is leaking and thats why their holding off on this transition. What is going on here considering what were dealing with when you have this major hack on top of a pandemic with thousands of people dying every day. Yeah, its not just the hack of the hack that is serious and were not just talking about espiona espionage, something the pentagon should be focused on. Were talking about a serious breach here. What some Democratic Senators are calling an act of war and so there is that. There is also the role the pentagon plays in the distribution of the vaccine and were at this critical moment were seeing members of the white house team, you know, show americans its time to get vaccinated if its your opportunity to do so. Pentagon has a role in that. The pentagon is also involved with trying to do troop withdraws in afghanistan now, something President Trump has been calling for before inauguration day. My colleague at the Washington Post who covers the military beat has been digging into this and reporting that while the Trump Administration is calling this a mutually agreed upon holiday break, thats not what the biden team is saying and not a luxury to have a twoweek house in this transfer of information. Holiday breaks sound great in theory but this is a critical ju juncture between two administrations but also in the National Security of the country. Hey, libby, you did mention the vaccines and there was New York Times reporting a couple weeks ago talking about how well fall off a cliff. They didnt accept the extra 100,000 doses. The u. S. Government could have got an extra 100,000 doses for free. They didnt take the bait on that. Nobody knows why. So we may not have enough vaccines to get to the American People that we wanted and now were looking at a situation where a lot of governors, rhode island governors said were getting half the doses were committed to next week and given no explanation as to why from operation warp speed. It seems as if on top of this as you mentioned, the Trump Administration is bundling the vaccination process. Something that could save lives when you have 3,000 plus people dying every single day. Yeah, pfizer has been pushing back at some of what the Trump Administration has been saying and because basically theyre saying look, were not having trouble producing the covid19 vaccine. Instead, there is a question of how the vaccine doses that already exist are getting to the right places to the right people. And so pfizer is trying to make it clear theyre not having production issues on their end. You know, this could be sort of a clean win for the Trump Administration. President trump talked about getting a vaccine before the end of the year and in fact, yazman were seeing this happen but instead of focussing what could be an accomplishment and what could be a sell bcelebration fo americans, the president is mum. It falling to the Vice President and surgeon general. We saw mike pence today getting the vaccine and talk about wearing masks, President Trump was tweeting out things questioning the effectiveness of masks. So it just goes to show President Trump can be his own worst enemy at moments like this. There is the Public Relations angle of it and communication that sip pois important because need communication but then you point out there is just the basic mechanics of getting the vaccine to the right places at the right time under the right conditions as the Trump Administration is pledged to do. Lets talk about Something Else thats a sell bcelebration americans. They could have gotten relief prom the u. S. Government to pay bills at this point and not get kicked out of their homes the day after christmas. Instead, were talking about the fact we dont have a relief bill passed. Americans dont know if they will have extended Unemployment Insurance or get stimulus checks they thought they might get because republicans are holding it up to be frank. On top of that you have a looming government shutdown. We heard maybe we can get a continuing resolution until month to figure out government funding and then after that well get a covid relief bill. I mean, what is going on here . I dont know. Im stunned like every other american at the rank hypocrisy and incompetent s. We have been in the pandemic for ten months and well over 300,000 americans lost their lives and millions have become infected. Homes have been disrupted, businesses disrupted and all you have to do is pass a bill for relief. Relief. I mean, youve already spent damn near 8 trillion over the last four years on what . Tax cuts for wealthy people, thats okay if thats your priority but here the nation right now needs our leaders in the congress, the house and senate to just get to the room and to the table and get something in front of the president that he can sign that will save families and businesses through the beginning of the new year. You cant put this off. You still have to pass a budget. Youre going to have to deal with the businesses that are still shuttered and that are reduced capacity. The workers who arent working. This stuff doesnt go away because you dont want to look at it. You dont want to face it. You got to pay the nations debts, yes, but youve also got to help americans who have debts of their own right now because of where we are with covid. It stunning. It stunning. The election is over so people think i got reelected so im good. There is a little thing called recall. While a lot of americans that are good, a lot of americans are standing in line for food to pick up to eat on christmas eve. I was listening to a piece on the daily earlier today while i was running about a woman getting kicked out of her home with her two children. She doesnt have anywhere to go. She doesnt know how shes going to pay her bills. Thats the reality of what is happening. Michael, i just quickly want to ask you, you know, im assuming you u knknow pat toomey. What is he asking for not asking the secretary to extend the ppp program essentially inside treasury to rescue Small Businesses . It seems like that is what is holding up this relief bill. Yeah, i dont get it. I mean, the ppp is a major part of the relief package. It has to be for Small Business owners out there that employ 78 or at least they did, 70 of any states work force is through Small Business owners. So this is now all of a sudden republicans deciding they want to be fiscally responsible and fiscal conservatives and minding the budget and all of that. Im sorry, you know, you picked the wrong time for that because right now the country is looking for relief. Thats the r word, not republican, relief is the most important thing right now and i think pat toomey and i respect him and a lot of these guys, you got to get your act together because what is about to happen in the first and second quarters of next year, keep in mind, states still have budget gaps they have got to close. So this relief package is, you know, important not just for individuals but states, as well. So its the level of incompetence again i just dont understand particularly in the face of what we know is happening. Am basketball tobassador mcf casey, Michael Steele sticking around to be more frustrated in the next block. Coming up in 30 seconds, new reporting on a wave of trump pardons that could be imminent. Joyce vance is next. Also, a key trump ally is calling for martial law to overturn the election and joe biden responds to those attacks on her credentials plus, well talk live to the major of Atlantic City auctions off the right to demolish this trump hotel for charity. All that and more when were back in just 30 seconds. And moe back in just 30 seconds. Lets be honest. Quitting smoking is hard. Like, quitting every monday hard. Quitting feels so big. So try making it smaller, and youll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. Start stopping with nicorette. Art class. Its abstract expressionism. When you start with a better hot dog from oscar mayer, you can do no wrong. Its all for the love of hot dogs. Welcome back. Trumps wave of pardons could come as soon as tonight. A source with direct knowledge tells axios trump wants it done before christmas. We dont know who could be next but there reports hes quote obsess the with the power interrupting conversations to ston tan u spontaneously suggest he add them to the list. He pardoned Michael Flynn and a list of allies, its pretty long to say the least including Paul Manafort. Hes considering unusual preemptive pardons for several of his kids, soninlaw and lawyer. Rudy giuliani and the big one, the controversial selfpardon democrats saying trump is abusing the pardon power but the president does have the power to issue federal pardons if someone takes them. That is their confession, though, of guilt. Joining me is former federal prosecutor. Joyce vance and Michael Steele is back with me. Welcome to you both and welcome back, michael. Hopefully you had a drink of water in the break. Joyce, lets talk about this idea of a wave of honestly, i dont know how the conversation goes. Hey, man, let me by outon the li list of pardons and they are saying what did i do wrong . The criminal exposure some of these quote unquote associates have and friends and family talking about the kids for instance, why would he preemptively pardon his daughter, sons, soninlaw . For what reasoning . This is just unlike any parten process weve ever seen before. Its not unusual for a president at the end of his term to go ahead and engage in some pretty significant numbers of pardons but usually lly it goes throug justice Departments Office of the pardon attorney. There is an effort to look at cases and to do justice or grant mercy and cases are evaluated. Judges who tried cases are talked to. The parties and victims are consulted. The defendants record and a decision is made about whether to pardon or not based on advice of a lot of different people. Here it feels like were in alice in wonderland and everything is backwards and the president is contemplating pardoning people before theyre charged. We dont know as you pointed out what charges they will be pardoned from. The devil is in the details and trump may be out smarting himself a little bit here ultimately people may end up with concessions of guilt but pardons that dont cover the entire terrain of their legal exposure. Its a very odd situation. Whats it going to look like if he decides to do these wave of pardons, some of the names floated, Paul Manafort, the former Campaign Manager and julianassange, as well. Him wanting the Hillary Clinton emails in july of 2016 when he asked wikileaks to release them. What would that process look like . How quickly would Paul Manafort be released . With President Trump it could be as simple as tweeting hes issuing a pardon. There is paperwork that has to happen. Burro of prisons has to go through the release process for someone in custody. At least with these two there would be pending charges and the pardons would follow something that would resemble a normal sort of a process where you would pardon people from existing charges presumably. Michael, you know, im interested to hear what you feel about this idea that if in fact he were to issue the wave of pardons or preemptive pardons talking specifically about his children, his associates, rudy giuliani, by accepting that pardon, it would be an admission of guilt. I forgive you as president , im ex sponging your criminal record and taking into account your criminal behavior and im commuting your sentence or im pardoning you from all offenses. Well, yeah, thats the norm. But as joyce pointed out, we are, i mean, you know, i think alice in wonderland would make more sense than this does simply because the reality of it is how do you say forgive me for something i have not done p proportly. Stuff that would be found out from further investigations, not just in the biden term but subsequent years as more freedom of information requests are made and things like that begin to unearth documents that, you know, reveal more happening there than we know now. So there is a lot here and it sends a bad signal. The other thing it does and i would be curious what joyce thinks about this is elevates the state cases now. All of a sudden, okay, fine, you want to play the pardon game at the federal level . All right. Well bring it down to the state level. No problem. Because theyre comparable charges. So to joyces first point. This doesnt necessarily clear the decks for donald trump because hes going to pardon his kids from federal charges. That just now escalates the look you see into what is going on at the state level. What do you think about that joyce . Do you think it would inspire more state charges . Absolutely. I think michael is right here. Typically there is sort of a gentlemans agreement between federal and state prosecutors to let the jurisdiction that has the best case or the longest sentence go forward first. Often thats the federal government typically with these white collar Corruption Cases but i think well see state prosecutors step up, states attorneys general, district attorneys will bring cases if the federal government is somehow prohibited by pardon and there may not be perfectly statutes. For instance, if you have federal Corruption Cases that are based on some sort of federal jurisdiction, the states may have different cases. They may be false statements and take the form of tax cases. I suspect well see vigorous efforts by prosecutors to hold people that have engage in criminal conduct to hold those folks accountable to uphold the credibility of the criminal justice system. And in case everyone was wondering i want to read from the doj, the fundamental rule in oiz hen case did not in fact pardon himself . Michael steel, joyce vance, thank you both. Happy holidays by the year. Someone will get to blow up trumps Atlantic City casino for a good cause. Were live with the mayor.

Trumps baseless claims about the election didnt pay off. He raised enough money to pay off remaining campaign bills and leave tens of millions of dollars. Who would have thought . Business inside r repor reportiy his soninlaw helped create a Trump CampaignShale Company that paid the president s family members and spent 617 million in reelection cash but trump continues to dupe supporters into believing his lies. His Conspiracy Theory is threatening turnouts in the run offs. Trumps convicted security advisor saying Michael Flynn trump should use military power to rerun the election in swing states. He can order within the swing states if he wanted to, he can take military capabilities and place them in those states and rerun an election in each of the states. This is an outrageous claim. Trumps claims are getting so dangerous that some of his own party members, they are slamming trump supporters. Georgia Governor Kemp has been a recent target. A blasting protrump conspiracy theorists for harassing his family saying Death Threats, claims of bribes, social media posts my children are getting. If i said this, i would be taken to the wood shed and would never see the light of day. Thats what is happening in this country because of what the president refuses to admit, he lost this election. Joining me now is david corn, mother jones washington burro chief and Political Science professor and cohost of the pod cast whats in it for us. Welcome to you both. So great to see you on this friday. David, ill start with you on this. I want to read from the daily beast on this reporting of the Shale Company, which i found astounding and in it they write this. American made Media Consultants corporation in and American MadeMedia Consultants llc took more than half out Trump Campaign 1. 26 billion war chest and was largely shielded from having to publicly report financial details. However, a source telling Business Insider that trumps daughterinlaw laura trump was the companys president. Vice president mike pences nephew and Trump Campaign cfo sean dollman was treasurer and secretary. This is astounding to me. Not having to basically report the money made in this Shell Company that the soninlaw Jared Kushner green lit. What do you know about this . Weve seen this for years now. I mean, this in and of itself is wrong but the party that attacked trumps former opponent for being crooked has been crooked over and over again as they line their pockets and trump took the money at the trump hotel, as hes violated the constitution clause and just in the last couple weeks, ive reported on this and other people reported on this, his campaign sent out literally hundreds of email solicitations to his followers and they have raised over onethird of a billion dollars, 300 million claiming the money is going to his Legal Defense fund, to work in the georgia run off elections, whatever. Its not. It going to his own political operation hell are achave acce. If you read the fine print, hes coning thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people that put their faith in him. So there is plenty of other funny money stuff that should be investigated and a con from the top town and mounting a political coup to raise more money in the shady way. I mean, christina, i dont know how Something Like this is legal, honestly. I wish someone would bring me up to speed on how Something Like this could be pulled off by a sitting president of the United States to make this much money not having to claim it financially creating a Shell Company how this can exist and it makes me think back to the conversation i was just having with joyce vance and Michael Steele about the preemptive pardons and is this exactly what the president is aiming to do considering what hes been dabbling in throughout for so long. We talked about this when he was first elected. I remember having a conservation about there would be so many fires we wouldnt know where to look so it started with the trump hotel in washington d. C. And we saw foreign dig tarries staying there and Trump Properties in virginia and florida. We asked ourselves how is it ivanka and jared made 80 million the first year of trumps presidency . The questions have just, you know, mull tip pltiplied every d made money after his name and enterprises and ivanka going to china and patents. Its been an on slot. Whether its a text loophole hes able to get by, what is really sad, the coning will never stop. Hell leave january 20th. It will happen. Joe biden is the president elect. I think he will be certified on january 6th. We can inaugural Michael Flynn and his shenanigans but on january 20th. We know donald trump is concerned about being citizen trump and all the lawsuits hell face in new york, new York Attorney general and el need good money and good lawyers, someone of usually better than rudy giuliani. Hes taking money from the gullible, you know, sort of marks that hes always found and the past 40 years in new york and new jersey and keep giving him money and hell keep taking it and justifying that its the blacks, the immigrants, the mexicans are the one that ruined this country and thats why they need to invest in him so he can fix it. Its an ultimate grift and a sad day for american democracy to be quite honest. So then you have this what is happening essentially in georgia where the president is refusing to condemn supporters, the folks threatening people like the governor of georgia, right . Someone who is a republican thats been a supporter of this president for quite sometime and we full well knew that. Gabe sterling, the election official who spoke out when they were doing the recount in georgia who essentially said this has to stop passionately speaking out, he himself has admitted he voted, his family is being threatened. The governor saying he urged supporters to lower the temperature and they need to come and they dont need to bother my wife or children or anybody. You cant help but think what has become of this country but this and trying to delegitimate saying american democracy doesnt work. Keep me in the circle. What also showing he can raise hundreds of billions a year if he continues to push constir stheer conspiracy theories, there are tens of millions that believe this disinformation and enable him to poison the political debate but most importantly for him and his family and people around him, they can make a tremendous i almost cursed there. They can make a tremendous amount of money off this. Ist its historical. Conspiracy theories and basically this narrative of a lost cause. The election was stolen from us. Keep sending me your money. Buying my hats and put in shell companies, thats why hes not going to say he wont run for president in 2024. Hell keep teasing whether hes going to do it or not because the money is so overwhelming and it does show there are tens of millions of americans who buy into this and thats a deep and dark problem for the country at large. I would add i almost cursed there. Please. I would add, though, when the governor of michigan and the state the secretary of state of michigan were getting Death Threats and kidnapping and murder plots and people were storming the Michigan State house, we had relative silence from the Republican Party and the violence is being turned on them and they are scratching their head saying how can we bring down the temperature . Well, they have been ratcheting up the temperature for four years. They have been supporting the president with his various conspiracy theories throughout his tenure. Now that the president turned on members of his own party, which hes done consistently just ask Jeff Sessions and so now weve seen that its happening and its gotten pretty severe. We have people marching through target and walmart without masks. We have people in arizona doing that and going and threatening people who are trying to become poll workers and count ballots. I mean, this is a president who has dabbled in criminal behavior his entire professional career and hes also dabbled with white nationalists his entire president ial career. We have the two factors and the Republican Party is saying we dont know how this happened. What should we do . You should have stopped the horse leaving the barn a long time ago and now you cant control the monster you created. Its important to note trump is encouraging that, too. Hes saying guys, i have yeah. I understand both of you have so much to say on this and we probably could do another hour on this but i do have to go and i appreciate you guys weighing in this evening. David, i was going to tell you, i almost curse every night no worries on that. Thank you both. Good to see you. Happy holidays by the way. What we are seeing, i want to tell everybody and hearing should not be happening in this country. The michigan secretary of state had armed protesters outside of her house claiming fraud. There were Credible Threats of violence in michigan before the Electoral College vote. In georgia i just mentioned the republican election official blamed trump for fueling intimidation adding someone will get killed. The governor said the threats need to stop and he needs to follow laws and constitution. Officials doing their jobs. They shouldnt be in fear. These threats should not be happening in this country and the president should be denouncing them. Ahead, news on a second Covid Vaccine plus what biden is saying about when were going to get back to normal and Atlantic City says good riddance to trump planning to demolish his old casino with a twist.
