tonight on the reidout so look, all i want to do is this, i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. turns out that wasn t the only call trump made to try to overturn his georgia defeat. with criminal charges possibly coming soon in georgia and new york, we need to talk about why the justice department is taking a back seat to those investigations plus, newly released january 6th video clearly refutes tucker carlson s phony narrative about the supposedly peaceful tourists january 6th committee member adam schiff joins me i ll also be joined by the journalist who was fired after privately calling out the desantis administration for propaganda and wait until you hear the scathing response from princess
like, do trump people get to sit on that jury do biden voters s get to sit on the jury so the timeline to hold this man accountable before he was allowed to try to take over the government again happened in the past and that s because merrick garland did not move fast enough and courageously enough to bring this man to heel when he had the opportunity. what we re looking at now is just very difficult to see how we go from where we are now on the ides of march to a conviction and jail before this man can run for president again. it s funny, charles i feel like trump in some ways has had the greatest luck in the world that he ran for president and the worst luck had he not run for president, he could have paid stormy daniels all the money he wanted. it wouldn t matter, it wouldn t be connected to him trying to save his campaign. in this case, he got the benefit of sdny not prosecuting him for what they prosecuted michael
in america, safe to say, who are wondering if this new york case is the best to be brought first, setting the tone for all the others charles blow pushes back on that thinking writing, quote, any case against trump must hang on the evidence and the principle that justice is blind. the political considerations including gaming out what might be the ideal sequence of cases across jurisdictions and by their gravity only serve to distort the judicial process and to trump s countless claims that any indictment of him will put this country through aos, blow adds, that s not a reason to avoid vigorously and swiftly pursuing him but rather a reason to do it if we establish a pres minute that amassing a threat to society is awarded with enforcement of the law, it makes a mockery of the law, but the question remains, why are two states on the hook to do a job the justice department arguably should be doing themselves why are they being left to hold the bag to go first and carry these questions i
may not even know they re going to win the case in the end that would not be a consideration they would take into account and i think that the danger here is that we underscore the flimsiness of the idea of equal justice under the law if we continue to let trump flout it i think you can t argue against that i guess the think that troubles the folks who tell me, and i might be in that camp a little bit myself, is that the gravity of the things that trump did, first, michael cohen went to jail for something he didn t have an affair with stormy daniels. he served time in prison for it. it s logical to say trump ought to be prosecuted for that crime, full stop. at the same time, there s something that bothers me about the justice department hanging back and being like, go ahead, georgia and new york y all take care of this. they re still questioning his lawyers right now. they seem to still be working their waork, but why should the
trump s hush money payment to porn actress stormy daniels. when it comes to proving trump s intent in that case, that grand jury spent more than five hours hearing from the man who orchestrated the payment on trump s behalf, his former personal attorney, michael cohen. last night, cohen told me he came to court armed with receipts my understanding of that would be for you to provide not just testimony, not just corroboratable testimony but also documents would that be accurate of course when you start bringing documents and emails and text messages and other documentary evidence to the table, it s impossible for that statement not to be valid or validated now, let s not forget cohen literally went to prison in part for the same thing that trump is being accused of and while it appears that d.a. bragg could be first in line to bring charges against trump, let s just be clear. there are more than a few people
