thank you for joining us on another busy monday night. in the wake of last week s verdict, as alarming as it is, it s not surprising how donald trump and all his acolytes have been spending their time. attacking the system that held them accountable with escalating ginger s rhetoric targeting everybody from d8 alvin bragg, the judge, and the americans who served as jurors. trump and his buddies are claiming, once again, that the system must be rigged. if their claims of a rigged justice system couldn t be further from the truth, lucky for us, former u.s. attorney is standing by to set the record straight. governor pritzker will join me to talk about the republicans about party over country. what democrats should be doing in this moment. amy walter will break down the political implications of this for november. first, i want to start with a thought experiment. about this whole bricked argument trump is spewing out there. let s consider we live in an alternate universe. i be

Decided to stand by President Trump, has never wavered in the more than four years since then. He has been under tremendous pressure from the president to try to do something that would not be constitutional, to overturn the elections results. He made it clear that he could not and would not do that yesterday. Tonight those clear comments of condemnation from Vice President pence perhaps a final declaration of independence.
