Just ruled that Fulton County District Attorney fani willis can stay in charge of the sweeping election interexperience case into donald trump and more than a dozen others if and only if top prosecutor nathan wade, the man she had a relationship with, goes. Covering all of the angles of this major decision with msnbcs katie phang, and lisa rubin, danny cevallos, and dave aaronberg, State Attorney from palm beach county, florida, thank you all for joining us, katy, walk us through this 20plus page decision and the choice willis has to make now. So, ana, msnbc first to report this 2346 page ruling that came from judge scott mcafee. The process has taken a few months, and so to that extent, if there was a win, the win would be for the defense for the delay. However, ultimately judge mcafee saying no actual Conflict Of Interest was proven by the defense. It was their burden to have to show it through competent evidence during the course of the hearing. The judge reporting there was an appe
But let me tell you about something. Im against jews or anybody else who puts the interests of some other place over our own country. Not opposed to all jews. Something said, actually said in a Senate Debate stage in the year 2016. Todays louisiana Senate Debate took place in an empty auditorium at a historically black college called Dillard University in new orleans. Students at dillard protested. There arent arrests. Some people were reportedly pepper sprayed by University Police as they tried to protest outside the debate hall. But inside david duke assured us all he is not against all jews. Happy 2016. That does it for us tonight. We will see you again tomorrow. Now its time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. Good evening, lawrence. Rachel, the debate was even worse than you presented. Were going to present i was going to use the word highlights. Were going to present excerpts of this debate, this david duke debate coming up. And he attached himself to

that small lead right now. we believe there is still a fairly significant number of election day votes. that is to say votes that people cast in person at the polls yesterday in essex county, a couple of dozen precincts perhaps in essex county. this is a big democratic county , as you know, i think anything else that comes out of essex is going to help murphy. another one you have here is mercer county, trenton area, state capitol. this is a blue county, we think, we re trying to mail it down. the vote by mail you re talking about they don t start counting until last night at midnight, yeah? it varied by county, and not every county has reported out a publicly exactly, you know, what the breakdown is in terms of what they ve counted by mail. when you look at what they have reported out here, it suggests that what s left in mercer county is the mail. if that s true, that would be thousands of additional votes plurality for murphy because the vote by mail is so heavily
of bergen county. okay what else is left right now, we keep talking about sussex county, here is another one the county clerk in sussex county has put some numbers up on their site. we just want to nail down and make sure that the vote totals up on their site give cheer a lead in sussex county, with all the votes counted of about 20,000 votes. so it should really might be able to put 20,000 right back on the board here. we are just going to try and confirm what they have put up on their website there, the clerks office there. but that could be a 20,000 vote again for ciattarelli if that information is correct. okay, what else are we looking at here, we think mercer county this is one that murphy is going to put a lot of faith and we are trenton as the state capital is a big democratic county. tonight it s only 15, but that s in part because of what you re seeing right here does not reflect the vote by mail.
here is the key and mercer county right now we do not have the vote by mail for mercer county, big democratic county, the vote by mail tends to be a big democratic foe, so that is another piece of the puzzle that could favor murphy. if you put together what we are talking about here, there are quite a few opportunities left on this map for murphy to overtake ciattarelli. there are some opportunities still for ciattarelli to counter that, sussex i really want to see what that same daybell is left to come and burlington county. she really has been rolling up some surprising numbers in places around the state tonight. that is what we are down to tonight, brian, in jersey. i love the tour of my home state, chamber of commerce couldn t have done it any better. steve kornacki at the big board thank you. for more on this peter baker, chief white house correspondent for the new york times, our friend juanita tolliver is back a strategist for candidates and
