and before mat sxtis and esper t in and took the job gates, secretary gates came out against him. the hubris and you can go on and on every agency is like that. literally all the republicans that were on tv sunday were preceded by people that had had their jobs before them telling them exactly what would happen if trump were the country s commander in chief in charge of our national security agencies and because they re some of the same arguments that were made by hillary clinton and democrats they were all discounted until republicans get the job, they see the frankenstein up close, they go holy bill barr s favorite word and they come out and get in front of a camera and say don t do this. then there s always another crop of republicans who go in and make all the same mistakes over and over again the ball wark has a great list of all the rensz who ve broken with him pence, barr, mattis, esper, pompeo, tillerson, mulvaney, kelly, mcmaster, bolton, pottinger, spencer, alyssa air far
all of them concluding that the behavior was dangerous and disturbing in a scathing piece titled the truth about the trump indictment bill barr goes on and he says this this is a situation entirely of his own making the effort to present trump as a victim in the mar-a-lago document affair is cynical political propaganda. all of these condemnations are notable. but what s even more notable is where they re coming from now. as our friend charlie sykes writes in the bulwark, no president has earned the open contempt and denunciation of so many of his inner circle unlike other critiques from the resistance or never trumpers, who have essentially become democrats, these voices are coming from inside the house last week we heard from another individual from inside the house, trump s former chief of staff, john kelly. kelly telling the washington post not to fall for trump s tough and confident exterior following his indictment last week quote, he s scared bleepless this is the way he
years he was at doj some and who s he talking to? this is the part of it that i m most curious about who s he speaking to is he talking to ron desantis? is he talking to mike pence? is he talking to jim jordan? i mean, who is he talking to what do you think? nicolle, i think he s speaking certainly to the republican establishment i think he s speaking to people who have an ability to make an impact on whether or not trump in the primary season will gain the nomination i was thinking about your point about looking forward. let s set aside for a moment the politics let s set aside the question of the elements of the crime or what he may or may not have done at mar-a-lago. let s look at trump as he s being described by all these people and let s pay attention particularly to somebody like general kelly, a former distinguished military general officer. let s pay attention to mark esper, the former secretary of defense. the job, one of the primary if not the primary job of the president i
republican field against him because they re not, it goes to the heart of your question why not? is it a lack of fitness or moral character? is it pure political fear? or is it something greater as you re talking about speedy trial all i m thinking of is him wanting to release his perfect call which of course wasn t perfect and they all locked it down and lied about it. the patterns of trump are so abundantly clear to anybody watching i need all of you to stick around we have a lot more developments o talk about in the documents case aft aer very short break. don t go anywhere. verizon. the network she can count on. and now she has myplan, the game-changing new plan that lets her get exactly what she wants and save on every perk. sadie is moving to the big city and making moves on her plan, too. apple one, on. now she s got plenty of entertainment for the whole ride. finally there! hot spot, on. and she s fully connected before her internet is even installed.

of kevin mccarthy s evidence and will kevin mccarthy, we learned through journalism, through liz cheney s work on the committee, he thought the 25th amendment would take too long. an impeachment in the hours and days after january 6th, kevin mccarthy is on an open line with his members talking about how to get rid of him fast enough because he was a threat because of the things he s saying what are your thoughts about how successfully the right move, sort of the overton window nothing happens after that doj doesn t open an investigation into trump all that evidence, merrick garland saying doj should prosecute if there are crimes. they don t do anything what do you think of that? you had of the senator standing and voting not guilty, mitch mcconnell, and then 20 minutes later, we were back in our war room where we had done our preparation and i said, listen to this he had a fully prepared speech that said the president was
