And how the president managed to stay ahead of the con. If anything, you read this and you are like, wow, its pretty impressive. And the reporter who broke the Jerry Faldwell jr. Story. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. In response to a frontal response, democrats took the unusual step of Holding William barr in con tell of congress by a Party Line Vote in the house judiciary committee. He is to turn over an unredacted version of the Mueller Report. The democrats real target is not the attorney general. It is, instead, the president of the United States, who is now challenging the very foundation of congresss constitutional role. This morning, the president retroactively claimed executive privilege over the entire unredacted Mueller Report. This despite having waived that privilege when the report first came out. The president confirmed that in the interest of transparency and full disclosure to the American People, he would not assert privilege over
Vendetta. Our children and their children will answer, what did you do . What did you say . Afforded more rights to jesus than the democrats have afforded this president. I will vote to impeach donald trump. It doesnt really feel like were being impeached. I dont know about you, but im having a good time as president. The yahs are 230. The nahs are 197. Article one is adopted. And there you have it. You know, a lot has happened this year, but one of the houses final actions of all of 2019 was this historic action, impeaching President Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of congress for behavior that would have really been unthinkable for almost any president until donald trump took office. We used to care about democracy. We used to care about our allies. We used to stand up to putin and russia. We used to. You may one day be in the majoritiment and you will want to hold a president accountable. And what will you say when that president says you are a paper tiger. You have no over
Jerry nadler says the House Democrats have no intention of letting this go. We will have major hearings, he says, barr and mueller are just the first. We will call many other people. Well see who they are. Super. Everybody buckle up, were still on this ride, apparently. Look, the report revealed a number of truly damning episodes involving the president and his efforts to sabotage the investigation into Russian Election tampering. They include attempts to get Robert Mueller fired, attempts to unrecuse then attorney general jeff sessions, attempts to curry favor with then fbi director james comey, attempts to then blame the doj for comeys eventual firing. Attempts to get dni director to publicly exonerate trumps connections to russia. The good news is nearly a dozen people in the administration wouldnt carry out his requests to obstruct on his behalf. And in doing so, they saved him from himself and likely saved his presidency. Donald trump owes don mcgahn, james sessions, james comey,

2020. As another state votes to eliminate abortion rights most of my rains were not the gentlemen jumping out of the bushes. The men taking those rights away. Most were date or consensual rapes. Hacked by the russians. All in starts right now. Good evening from New York New York im chris hayes. It has been a month since the Mueller Report came out and the full weight of what is inside it still has not sunk in. That is partly due to a very successful spin effort by the president , his allies and loyal hand picked attorney general. You can tell the white house has some sense of just how damaging the content of that report is for them because now they want everyone to just stop paying any attention to it whatsoever. The white houses ridiculous claim of executive privilege is stalling negotiations from Robert Mueller himself to testify before congress. The privileged claim could prevent mueller from getting into details about the president beyond what is in the un redacted report. In an in
