and this is a really wide net. now that we have chris krebs confirming that he did speak with jack smith s team in early may, obviously he wa the top for people who don t remember him because it was obviously a really chaotic period, he was the top election cybersecurity official. and he had said this was one of the safest and most secure election in u.s. history. trump directly said that was why he fired him. what do you read into the fact that jack smith s team is not only speaking to him but they re also asking questions about the timeline surrounding his firing? yeah, to jack smith is a career non-political, very serious federal prosecutor, like laura before she left for higher pastures. says the man of the courtside podcast. oh, my goodness. thank you so much. wow. that s touching. what i think he s trying to do is really demonstrate something we call mens rea, criminal intent, which is did donald trump act with corrupt intent. and the way we do that is to look at starti
runoff races in january. jon ossoff, the democratic candidate is defeated david perdue. gop insiders blame trump grumbling that his election lies backfired. he is hereby acquit of the charge. trump becomes the first president to be impeached for a second time. once again, republicans stand in the way of a conviction. democrats falling short of the 67 votes needed to convict trump. this is the second time donald trump has been acquitted in an impeachment trial in the u.s. senate. at number two, an event that would normally land at the top of any list of the political stories. the inauguration of a new president. preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. the constitution of the united states. but it was far from a typical transfer of power as trump tried
have anything to do with this, did the white house have anything to do with this. it is just a matter of following that money and finding out what these people say. so that is the whole point of subpoenaing those bank records. i want to ask you about, you know, the committee focusing on those 187 minutes of trump inaction as the capitol was under attack. what do they need to show in order to make a criminal referral there? well, the 180 minutes of inaction by trump by itself doesn t really tell us anything. but in context of all of the evidence, it could be extremely damning. the real issue here is did donald trump act with corrupt intent. that is the whole issue in this criminal obstruction case. right now there is lots of smoke out there, there is lots of circumstantial evidence. we know that there is a conspiracy to basically obstruct congress through perpetrating
