their time. and it was a great, grave disservice for the country. i respect attorney general barr. so, i accepted what he was saying. tonight, congressman jamie raskin on the big, new things we learned on night one. and what they say about donald trump s consciousness of guilt. we weren t finding anything that would be sufficient to change the results in any of the key states. plus, with the incredible focus on to trump militia groups says about what is to come. you say that proud boys members increased after the stand back stand by comment? exponentially. i would say tripled, probably. and the potential for a lot more, eventually. and how trump s propaganda network keeps finding new ways to launder a coup. sean hannity wrote, in part, key now know more crazy people. when all in starts right now good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. the country still processing the testimony from last night s inaugural primetime hearing of the january 6th commit
have the right idea. mike pence, quote, deserves it. that may mean [inaudible] up. the president said his own vice president deserved to be lynched by the mob. because he would not go through with a plot to steal the election. that is a summary of what we learned from one night of these hearings. i suspect there is still more we will learn. danya perry is a former new york state deputy attorney general and federal prosecutor. she coauthored a brookings institution paper titled, trump on trial, a guide to the january 6th hearings in the quest of criminality. and ari melber is msnbc chief legal correspondent and host of the beat every day at 6 pm. they both join me now. it s great to have you here. thank you very much. we were here last night, ari, digesting this. but we ve had a bit of time to sort of go back through what is your sort of take away today with a little bit of perspective on what we saw last
i respect attorney general barr. so, i accepted what he was saying. yeah. well, both those bits of testimony, completely new. that was the daughter of the ex president of the united states saying she agreed with the attorney general bill barr, that her dad s claims of a stolen election were all bs. today, on his weird, off grand social media website, trump attacked bill barr and his own daughter, ivanka. quote, ivanka trump was not involved, and looking at, or stuck being election results. she had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, and we try to be respectful to bill barr and he sucked. even though attorney general bill barr and ivanka knew the election was not stolen, we should keep in mind, they never used platform so forcefully say the election was free and fair. in fact, barr s resignation letter insidious ember of 2020. in that letter he endorsed the investigation into fraud he now admits was bs! before last night, we have gotten contemporaneous reporting that ba

know more crazy people. when all in starts right now good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. the country still processing the testimony from last night s inaugural primetime hearing of the january 6th committee. we learned a lot last night, which we will take you through this hour. one major takeaway something we have been repeating on the show for more than a year. donald trump attempted a coup. that was the front page above the fold headline of the new york times today. the newspaper of record. you can read a similar sentiment on front pages of papers across the country. the washington post went with, panel, pins blame on trump. the orlando sentinel s front page reads, january 6th panel pins plot on trump. the colorado springs gazette went with panel points finger at trump. even in red alaska, the anchorage daily news implicitly blamed the ex president with an arresting headline, quote, an
