hillary clinton, who sat through those benghazi hearings, hours and hours of hearings, answering every question asked of her. donald trump can t answer hardly any of the questions that are ever put to him, and certainly under oath, because of the jeopardy he would place himself in to be repeatedly tried for perjury. relying under oath. it s funny how they keep wanting to bring up the emails, but they don t bring up that comparison, what you just mentioned. the difference between trump and clinton in terms of answering questions. david henderson, tim o brien, lisa graves, we thank you for your cooperation. what do alleged financial crimes, election interference, and a defamation trial all have uncommon? donald trump. my 62nd rent is next. plus, don t forget that you can listen to the mehdi hasan anytime, free, wherever you get your podcasts.
legal trouble in the wake of the surge in his mar-a-lago home. we just don t realize how many cases, criminal investigations, and civilizes that he is involved in right now. give me 60 seconds, i will somehow so many cases this week. we discovered thanks to a search warrant the department of justice is investigating whether donald trump broke three removal or destruction of official records are obstruction of justice. that s a big deal. separately, there s also the doj s criminal probe into january the 6th and which we learned last month that they are already investing in the actions of the former president. there s also the civil case of the new york attorney general who deposed who deflated the value of his assets. there is also the manhattan da office that is investigating trump s business practices since 2019, in which last year they charged them with tax fraud. there is the fulton county da investigating trump s attempt to overturn the election in georgia. and it granbury th
to refer to merrick garland s press conference. you can argue it was indeed related. nevertheless, he did put immigrant world on the defensive call their bluff and some. louise would you make of the attorney general s decision to hold that press conference? what would you be advising him to do if he was still in the doj from monday onwards? i think what he did was the right thing. it s an unusual thing for the department of justice to talk about search warrants before indictments are issued. he felt that he had to do so in order to clear up some of the disinformation and law and the proxies, and i think he did the right thing. i do think that this is the situation in which donald trump is not just lying to people, he s actually continuing to use his people as an atm. i have no less than 18 text messages from trump s team and his son asking for money around this rate, and all caps telling his followers that they are coming for you. would i want to say yes this is

the former president who for three hours did nothing and now it s been more than three days and he has done nothing as the fbi and other law enforcement have been a soft and it s judges that threaten and others how many people are going to die because of donald trump s lies around this issue, around this executed search warrant that merrick garland explained so clearly? it s a very, very good question. tim. again, you made the point that you didn t think he was boyd at the start of the week. how much of this is a kind of coherent s legal standard, they re racing, when you look at some of the lawyers that he s put up on fox to represent him. how much of it is coherent legal strategy? how much of it is just firefighting, eric trump throwing stuff and seen with sticks? maybe, we ve been talking about this long enough that you know i don t think the word strategy and donald trump belong in the same sentence. he can barely play hopscotch,
