Do you want that person to protect the confidentiality of the investigation . Even rumors about your case can impact your reputation. You want someone who values the truth. You want someone with the courage to make the right decision, even if its an unpopular decision. Theres an Old Supreme Court case that sets out the Job Description of a prosecutor. It is not the win. It is not the simply get convictions. It is to be a minister of justice. I have a daughter in law school. Shes heard me say this a million times. Good prosecutors clear more innocent people a month than Defense Attorneys do in a lifetime. But you have to be objective. You have to be fair. And you have to be honest. I would be hard pressed to think of any lawyer i worked with in congress who is less qualified to be a prosecutor than adam schiff. Yet this week we learned he wants to be the next Attorney General of california. I guess california is progressive. I guess the next Attorney General there will not share any of
Formalized a deal that cements their control of the United States senate. President biden and his colleagues have made it clear that on covid relief, they have zero interest in waiting on republicans. Yesterday democrats pushed forward with a motion to pass bidens 1. 9 trillion covid package with or without republican support. Mitch mcconnell called the move totally partisan. Which is rich coming from a guy who used the exact same tool to pass a 1. 5 trillion tax cut for the rich. Youll notice that republicans love to wave the word unity like a bloody shirt when they criticize democrats. You know whats better than fake unity, action, action that helps people. Thats the job of governing. In many ways, were now down to just one governing party. This morning speak nancy pelosi and Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer led a congressional tribute to Brian Sicknick who died during the insurrection last month. Each day when members enter the capitol hill, this temple of democracy, we will rem
The building that he died defending. Overnight, President Biden and the first lady, as you can see there, as well as the lawmakers who sicknick died protecting, paid their respects. A congressional tribute will be held later this morning. And today, House Managers will lay out their case against former President Trump for inciting that insurrection. They argue that mr. Trump is singularly responsible for the deadly capitol siege. They want him barred from ever seeking Public Office again. Mr. Trumps lawyers claim their clients speech was protected by the First Amendment and a Senate Conviction would be unconstitutional. This morning, President Biden weighs in on this. His brandnew interview ahead. We also have breaking new reporting about the meeting overnight between House Republican leader Kevin Mccarthy and congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene. Greene has endorsed statements calling for the execution of democratic leaders. She has harassed survivors of school shootings. She suggeste
That question is actually more difficult than you might think. They embraced the ones about the election. Not to mention, of course, the many deranged Conspiracy Theories pushed by President Trump about ted cruzs dead, muslims and much, much more. Marjorie Taylor Greene is not the only Republican Office holder who has been pushing but the only one republicans are contemplating admonishing. Senator thune, i regret to inform you when it comes to embracing Conspiracy Theories and dangerous lies in general, House Republicans have already made their decision. Ryan nobles is on capitol hill. Lets start with congresswoman liz cheney. What are you learning about how this meeting might go . Might she have enough support to hold on to her Leadership Position . Reporter right now that is an open question. It is very difficult to find a republican in the House Of Representatives who is willing to predict the outcome of what is expected to be a very tense meeting behind closed doors. On one hand, y
Security and who we are as a country. Trey we understand why people want to come to this country, to escape persecution, to taste freedom and liberty, to no hard work and education and a level playing field, can combine forces to transform lives. Escaping a country rife with conflict is one thing. Picking a new home is another. And america is picked more than all the countries combined because we are a country that embraces justice, we reward fairness, and we are a nation of laws. In fact, if you look at the oath new citizens take criminal law is mentioned different times. Six times. In one paragraph. Six times, these new citizens swear allegiance to this thing we call law. Is irate we can break this thing we call law and bring allegiance to this thing we call the law. It is ironic to say the least that you would reward people who do not follow the law by administering an oath to follow the law. President obama used is that he wanted a country where everybody plays by the same rules. W
