trade war about the growing warning signs of recession. more clear evidence that republicans were rigging elections in north carolina. why yesterday was a big day for joe biden and the rest of the 2020 field and why the current president today was shouting at the moon. he will have to explain that. that sounds tough. all in starts now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. the president ran a campaign for that office whose unofficial slogan was lock her up. it was both the main argument and a rallying cry on the campaign trail. hillary for prison was on t-shirts and yard signs. the narrative of the supposed criminality in the mainstream press by russian trolls disrupting the election and principally by trump tv. welcome to hannity. hillary clinton, follow my words, the media won t say it,
page, hillary for prison. and then it was trump is not my president rally. i went there! i went outside of that. it was right outside of trump tower. you know activists, the greenwich village type. they were chanting. it would have been unbelievable. you could have won me over if i knew then that this was apparently sponsored according to the indictment, by the russians. how can he saw americanized math does it surprise you at all? is this right up their alley? yeah, i m sorry to say the russians are failures on a lot of things. you know, their courage is their business. their business is corruption. when it comes espionage they really good in their ability to understanding us. they have an exceptional number of intelligence serving the country collecting on what makes us tick as people. they know what divides us. and really that was the key point from the indictment.
