also, tonight, president biden calls israel s military response to hamas over the top, as prime minister netanyahu signals a ground invasion of rafah could be imminent. plus, the right wing supreme court has been a big supporter of states rights in cases involving reproductive rights and control over women s bodies but not so much when it came time to decide whether states can kick a proven insurrectionist with the last name trump off the ballot. but we begin tonight with special counsel robert third s report about president biden s mishandling of classified documents. having had a day to digest the nearly 400-page report, i can comfortably say this is one of the most nonsensical, absurd, and outrageous documents i have seen since then fbi director james comey s hit job on hillary clinton and her email server 11 days before election day in 2016. in both cases the conclusion of the prosecutors was the same, no charges were deemed warranted, and no crimes committed. that didn
emma like am i free? can i watch you guys? now, i know. all right. burning the midnight oil, chris a s. i ghlove to see, my friend, i have a good night. you do. thank d you for joining me this evening. it took nearly a month to get it, but we finally have it, the d.c. circuit court of appeals has ruled on presidential immunity, donald trump s last best attempt to evade a criminal trial for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. it is unanimous ruling, rimmed i by all three federal appeals court judges overseeing this case, to biden appointees and one appointee of president george h. w. bush. those judges spell it out and no uncertain terms. donald trump s claim that a former president cannot be duly prosecuted is worthless. quoting from the ruling, it would be a striking paradox if the president, alone, is vested with the constitutional duty to take care of the laws he faithfully executed, where the e sole officer capable of defying those laws with impunity.
was part of some operation orchestrated by fbi agents is ludicrous. your job is to review what they do. your job is to protect the american people from a tyrannical fbi storming the home of a american family. i could not agree more with your description of the fbi being tyrannical. you preside over the fbi that has the lowest level of trust in the fbi s history. people trusted the fbi more when j. ed gar hoover was running the place. respectfully, congressman, in your home state of florida the number of people applying to come work for us is up over 100%. the american people fully understand there is a two tiered justice system that has been weaponized to persecute people based on their political beliefs and that you have personally worked to weaponize the fbi against conservatives. i would disagree with your characterization of the fbi and certainly your description. the idea i m biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me given my own personal backgro
the fbi has had only eight senate confirmed directors. those directors all have a few things in common. they are all white men. they all favor a clean cut look, and each and every one of them, every senate confirmed director since the dawn of the fbi has been a republican. that includes current fbi director, christopher wray, who was appointed by donald trump. and you would not get that impression, given the way the director wray s fellow republicans attacked him and his agency during a hearing today. on capitol hill. when the court says that the fbi misled, that is a nice way of saying they lied. how many individuals were either fbi, employees, or people that the fbi could make contact with, to be in the january 6th entry of the capital? i m going to make the assumption is there is more than one, more than five, more than ten. i will say that this notion that somehow the violence at the capitol on january 6th was part of some operation orchestrated by fbi sources into
right now. good naming from new york. i m chris hayes. it is all about the clock and the calendar. that has been clear ever since the first criminal charges came down against donald trump last spring our justice system moves at its own speed. but there s a finite amount of time for the ex president to be tried and the 91 charges he now faces before voters go to the polls on election day. now of, course everyone knows this, and trump certainly knows this. it is why, remember, he announced his 2024 campaign for president all the way back in november of 2022. that was one of his first attempts to shield himself politically from the legal accountability that he knew was coming. and of course, since then, trump has been doing everything possible to slow down the wheels of justice. he is basically in a race with a very sluggish system, trying to make it to november 5th when he very well could be elected president again before justice can catch up and put him on trial. the goal is
