pat cipollone will sit down for a deposition with the january 6th committee tomorrow. will he help connect the dots? and the georgia prosecutor makes it clear if her investigation uncovers crimes committed by former president trump, he will be held accountable. we ll have her exclusive interview with nbc news. plus, two former fbi directors spurned by trump get swept up in highly invasive and rare tax audits that are supposed to be random. targeted? the odds on that daily double pretty extraordinary, really, for that s a coincidence. yeah, it was a special audit that very few americans got. but somehow, somehow, right after donald trump was upset with james comey and mccabe, both of them hit the daily double, the odds, pretty extraordinary. we ll be talking to michael schmidt who broke that story, willie. that s a tough exacta, even for the two of us. i think the odds are something like 1 in 20,000, to be audited that way. purely by coincidence, the two of the
well, you know, lightning can strike, and lightning can strike in the same area that it had struck before. so unusual and rare things do occur. but what occurred here is extraordinary. either there was, through sheer luck, through random sampling, the irs was able to land a blow through its audit process on the two people that trump had atop his enemies list. the irs was able to deliver a blow better than trump was able to on his own, or the process was corrupted. either of those outcomes are pretty extraordinary. the irs has a history in the past of being used and accused of its power being employed for political purposes. in this instance, many people sort of look at this and say,
candidates did well. donald trump underperformed them. to be remembered, yeah. in state after state after state, underperformed republicans down ballot. david drucker, thank you so much. thank you, david. greatly appreciate it. still ahead, a coincidental audit? could it be coincidence? i don t think so. these two guys would be like, have an in-depth, random audit. for one person, as willie said, it is 1 in 20,000, 1 in 30,000 chance. you then stack one of those 1 in 30,000 chances on top of another 1 in 30,000 chances, i m not good at math, but it is pretty long odds. the irs took an extensive look at the records of two men who were frequent targets of former president trump. we ll talk to the reporter behind that story next on morning joe.
my day. you described this dishevelled look, and jake sherman comes to mind, for some reason. wow. totally. exactly. speaking of did you see way too early ? we ll get to the news in a second, but lemire s hair, looking pretty good. i was going to say. you know what, if warren zee von would say it, the hair is perfect. it is, actually. it s adorable. willie jake, on the other hand. come on, what is he wearing? khakis, yeah, right. he set the alarm but didn t leave himself enough time to get dressed, apparently. he did get up early. he rolled on bed and turned on the zoom. that s what it looked like. geez. i ve seen him wear the nobody wants to see that. chocolate brown polyester
party s voting base. even though he ran into trouble in 2020, if you look at the turnout that he inspired for republican candidates down ballot, you can t completely say that his candidacy was a bust for the party. i think that s why they ve had such a hard time getting over him or trying to shed him. because when you look at gaining 15 seats in the house in 2016 in 2020, a lot of that was turnout inspired by trump. trump s numbers with non-white voters actually improved in 2020. so then the question is, how does trump look at this? i think trump and, joe, look, you know this. the man had four bankruptcies. he keeps coming back, right? some people have a little more shame about running into trouble like that. he went through four bankruptcies and then was on television as the greatest businessman ever with a, you know, decently rated show.
