jacht to far left political activism are granted access to a softer parallel version of our justice system. mcconnell s letter follows another letter by tom cotton proclaims, part of a dangerous pattern at biden s justice department. certainly appears the department of justice is going soft on criminals who commit heinous crimes like arson that results in murder of a father of five, they are throwing the book at some of the protestors who broke into the capitol and did not commit crimes of violence but charged with things like trespassing on federal property and some of the tactics they use. we are told a.g. garland is aware of this, aware of cotton s letter but have not gotten a response yet. john: you keep watching it for us. thank you.
trump in power. he said he hadn t talked to donald trump since the electoral college certify the election. so, we do have some evidence from these things, credit to the washington post forgetting these records, because they re really quite illuminating to donald trump s day. i actually, so it s no surprise, january 6th committee wants to know a lot more information about who trump was talking to on that day. how are they going to get it? trump is not going to cooperate. it looks right, if he was using somebody like dan scavino s phone, he s not cooperating, what can the committee really do? well, that s one of the key frustrations, and you are hearing that from committee and other lawmakers, that even some of these trump allies who they have, basically, referred for contempt of congress, for defying the subpoenas. that president biden s justice department has not pursue charges, and that is a real source of frustration among democrats. it s worth noting that
omitted in the white house s official records. because, they will be able to talk to staffers who were around. they will hopefully have some success with dan scavino, the justice department will now have the opportunity to look at enforcing that subpoena. but stephanie, when you look at the sort of gap and phone log records, and have to start thinking about people who are using phones off the books. government officials who understand that they re carles need to be log, to officially become part of records. when you hear talk of people like the president of the united states using burner phones, the kinds of phones that are used by organized criminals, by people who are involved in drug dealing gangs, this really raises the suspicion that they knew, at the time, that what they were doing was probably criminal, certainly wrong, and will do nothing but reinforce the suggestion that the january 6th committee will drive home in its hearings, that this white house was up to no good, that th
but he knows how to ride out a new cycle, and the headlines pass. what it doesn t mean in the eyes of the law? well, for the january six committees purposes, it s a very interesting piece of information to have. ultimately, i think they will have some success, in putting together at least a partial record of the calls that are omitted in the white house s official records. because, they will be able to talk to staffers who were around. they will hopefully have some success with dan scavino, the justice department will now have the opportunity to look at enforcing that subpoena. but stephanie, when you look at the sort of gap and phone log records, and have to start thinking about people who are using phones off the books. government officials who understand that they re carles need to be log, to officially become part of records. when you hear talk of people like the president of the united states using burner phones, the kinds of phones
other lawmakers, that even some of these trump allies who they have, basically, referred for contempt of congress, for defying the subpoenas. that president biden s justice department has not pursued charges, and that is a real source of frustration among democrats. it s worth noting that president biden very deliberately, and his attorney general very deliberately came into this administration saying, we are not going to be like our predecessor, right. i do not believe president biden, the my attorney general is my personal attorney, or my fixer. and merrick garland made a big point of just how independent he was going to be. so, this is, of course, an incredibly politically-charged and difficult issue, with a lot of nuance for the justice department to navigate. but you are now seeing democratic lawmakers who are increasingly frustrated. sure sounds that way. joyce, the missing call logs make for really bad headlines for trump.
