a way that were interfering in an ongoing investigation. charges that could have been brought for interfering in the on going mueller investigation and what they chalked that all up to was donald trump was doing all of this because it was interfering with his political abilities and his abilities to get done what he wanted to get done through congress. so they basically sort of whitewashing away a lot of those decision-making processes that he was interfering with, an ongoing investigation that for anyone else would have been certainly something that they would have looked for to charge someone with obstruction of justice but he got a clean slate from two individuals in the trump justice department who decided to make their case to former attorney general barr. glenn, what did you make of this unredacted memo? what stood out to you? you know, this reads like a public relations piece for
welcome back. a judge in fulton count, georgia, now weighing brian kemps request to quash a subpoena asking him to testify before a special grand jury after arguments from his lawyers concluded in a public hearing in the last hour. that special grand jury, investigating whether the former president and his allies broke any laws in their attempts to influence the 2020 election. and nbc s blayne alexander is outside of the courthouse in atlanta. also want to bring back federal prosecutor glenn kirshner. let me start with you. given the nuts and bolts given what took place inside of the come, where are we? sure. well that hearing lasted about two hours or so. the judge doesn t make a decision today but it came down to this. the attorneys for brian kemp laid forth three separate arguments, sovereign immunity and executive privilege and third the thing they focused on the most and the thing that the judge doesn t want to hear about
november. blayne, thank you, glenn, thank you as well. starting next week, everybody, teachers in ohio s largest school district expected to head back to class after striking when the school year started. the union reached a preliminary agreement with the school board this morning. the details of that agreement have not yet been released. students expecting to continue online learning until monday, the strike is ending after three days of teachers protesting foreair conditions in classrooms, smaller class sizes and better resources as well. today numerous restrictive abortion laws going into effect in a handful of states. one could mean a life sentence for the abortion provider. ant the changes that start today and how they could effect millions of american women. you re watching msnbc. msnbc. so if there s a better treatment than warfarin. that s a trail i want to take. eliquis. eliquis reduces stroke risk better than warfarin. and has less major bleeding than warfarin.
judge? how long do you think it will take? it looks like the judge and the courts more generally are really rising to the moment. they seem to appreciate the urgency of moving through the legal issues quickly. so i have a feeling given the expedited schedule this has been on, we could see something within a matter of days. it could be as early as this afternoon or tomorrow. bup i don t think we re going to see much. agree with ken that there will likely be so many redactions it will leave us all frustrated but agree there are sp things that are publicly known that it seems like the department of justice could disclose without compromising the ongoing investigation. so here is an interesting development that we re just getting in from our own tom winter, a news organizations have now filed a motion, i m reading this from my email, that is why i m looking down, to unseal some or all of the justice department filing addressing their proposed redactions to the mar-a-lago search warrant
much if any of the affidavit we will see is still unclear. the judge said earlier on this week that he might, he might ultimately conclude that it would be best not to release any of it because redactions would make it meaningless. we ll have much more on that georgia investigation i talked about earlier into election interference. but first, we want to dig into the mar-a-lago search warrant with ken dilanian and ryan riley and glenn kirshner and a msnbc legal analyst and javit ali, ken, let me start with you on the the nuts and bolts. the major question is now think thing has been met. the judge now considering the redactions. what are we expecting was actually redacted and in this warrant, a., and how much do you think the judge will be accepting of it? so that is the big question,
