be convicted. right. those are good things in his column. do you think there would be any downside here for president biden were hunter to be convicted? of course, as the personal toll, of course. do we think there is political im impact? yeah, there are low information voters who are like, they re both in trouble with the law. i would say hunter biden is very different than donald trump and being a crack addict because you have an addiction is very different than a myriad after criminal charges, many cases which you ve been able to punt. then you have the fraud cases. i don t think they re the same at all, but i do think, you know, everything can be a problem, especially in politics. certainly, those close to president biden worry about just how he will receive this news. we know he is deeply worried about his son. also, the first lady coming back from france to go to the trial. i mean, the sister has been there. everyone in biden world, they re a close family. i t
Officer and even walked out. this comes as the officers have been on the campaign trail in key battleground states in an effort to get president biden re-elected. gene, this is the upside down world we re living in right now. police officers, think back the blue, support police, all that stuff, who stood in the doorway defending democracy and turned back a group of people who were led to the capitol by a lie, committed violence in the capitol, tried to help overturn our system of democracy, those officers are now being booed by republicans. it is unbelievable. one of those officers was injured, you know, a real injury to his foot defending the capitol. the other was showered with racist abuse and, of course, physically threatened and endangered defending the
Two counts of contempt for defying the subpoenas of the january 6th legal committee. let s bring in lisa rubin, legal correspondent. good morning. this is always framed, and we ll hear from president trump on this in a moment, as a personal attack, as president biden ordering his opponents to jail, on and on and on. except when you don t answer a subpoena, no matter who you are in our society, just like if you cook the books at your organization to pay off a porn star to stay quiet before a presidential election, there are consequences. there are indeed consequences. willie, there s some connective tissue between this and the other case you just mentioned, the recent conviction of former president trump. the connective tissue is robert costello, who was steve bannon s attorney. the attorney on whose advice he allegedly said he relied in ignoring the subpoena. bannon wanted to argue, and which was the crux of the appeal, he was entitled to
Move with full force. they haven t done that. what they ve done is they ve agreed to a significant agreement. in fact, look, it s been backed by the saudis, backed by almost the whole wide world. this is a very difficult time. richard haass, he is right about who is backing it, everyone but the two parties involved in the war. to have the cease-fire and perhaps an end to the war. hamas says it won t agree to the terms. israel won t agree to any deal that doesn t include eradicating hamas. where does that put us? it was a week that president biden went out and announced the three-phase plan. the idea was to get hamas to sign on. israel then backed away from it,
Will you accept the jury s youts outcome, the verdict, no matter what it is? yes. have you ruled out a pardon for your son? yes. pretty clear there, gene robinson. a significant moment, we should stop there. this is a president of the united states talking about his own son, saying he will accept the verdict no matter what it is and he s ruled out pardoning his own son. contrast that from what we hear from donald trump and everybody around him who says if anybody cuts against him, the system is rigged, weaponized, an effort by president biden himself to put trump in jail in a presidential year. that bite shouldn t be important, but in our time, it is. donald trump has promised to pardon the january 6th rioters, the january 6th insurrectionists, and president biden has promised not to pardon his own son. this is a tragedy, really, a
