right, when warnock won the special election. what we were worried about and thinking about in that moment, a delay in the certification of the outcome and shenanigans on the floor, right, by shenanigans, things done from a legislative standpoint or from members who were supporters of trump. we underestimated, we all did, what trump was capable of and reading this is a reminder of what he is capable of. and that is the thing that stuck out to me because we still have a lot of time to go. trump is not going to be mute. he s going to be out there on the campaign trail. we ve seen him already try to he s raising money. already tried to get his people to come out. and that s the other place to watch. overall, i think the white house, if you re sitting in the white house, you want this to be about trump. you want the air, the space, all of it on that. that s the right thing for history and the right thing for them politically in this moment as well. you know, jen, we all did
meacham eloquently said. that is bend the constitution almost to the point of bending, the enablers. and i will tell you maybe the saddest thing for me last anytime was watching tim scott. we are watching in real time someone lose their moral compass it someone sacrificing their character at the altar of political ambition, someone who knows better, who was there, who saw what happened, who saw people running for their lives, who knows that what trump did was wrong and what he has said is wrong, and the thing that kills me about all of this is if trump has evidence, which is what it will take to overcome this indictment, he still has not shown it anywhere. if these people, if these fox news opinion leaders, if all of these u.s. senators that went to yale and harvard, cruz on holley, if they have evidence,
impeachments before the august recess that, obviously, has not happened yet. it s not even clear if it s possible. and last night, he took it one massive leap forward. by floating an impeachment inquiry into joe biden. something he was already facing enormous pressure from house republicans like marjorie taylor greene to do. and for what, exactly? the president would be impeached for? i mean, what s impeachment about? your guess is pretty much as good as mine. we do know, of course, that the republicans star so-called whistleblower who supposedly had bulletproof evidence of corruption by joe biden, is currently on the run from the law. you can t make it up sometimes. because it turns out he s under federal indictment for being an unregistered chinese asset. that was the prime go-to whistleblower. and then there are the two irs whistleblowers who are claiming an investigation led by a trump -appointed u.s. attorney into hunter biden was slow off, despite the fact that that same u.s. att
other foreign companies as vice president, president or private citizen. wray responded as you know there s an ongoing investigation by the u.s. attorney in delaware, appointed by trump in the last administration that the baltimore field office is working. he was then asked again, he said i m not going to confirm or speak to whether or not he s under investigation. and the rep said so he s not under investigation? he said i didn t say that either. what did you take away from that exchange. you know, if we were in any other time that would have been ok for him to not speak on it. but the fact is they have spoken on other things, they have pursued prosecutions and investigations they had no business pursuing, the american people, the vast majority of them believe there is a two-tiered justice department and we have to get past that. and out of their way to be transparent with members of congress, if they stepped back away from the political prosecutions, no matter what
appointee have total power over making a decision on. kayleigh: but, sir what the whistleblower is saying is weiss, appointed by trump, said that he was not the deciding official. doesn t that directly contradict what the attorney general has said? but weiss is not saying that. isn t the source weiss? i mean, if weiss was saying that, i would have a concern. if weiss was out there saying, i didn t have total authority, there was interference, but weiss, weiss is the key person and he s not saying that. steve: and so i believe what the congressman is talking about, on friday, mr. weiss, who s the u.s. attorney for the district of delaware where they ve been doing this five-year investigation, appointed by donald trump. he sent a two-page letter to jim jordan and members of the republicans up on capitol hill and essentially what said, it was the most detailed explanation of the five-year probe of hunter biden. he denies being blocked for more serious charges in dc and
