You were past your prime. Hell, i know something about that. President biden was cracking jokes with defending World Series Champions at the white house yesterday. That looked fun. We do have a lot to get to this morning. A very confused judge in fort pierce. Oh, my gosh. She was shocked, shocked that you could have two grand juries going on at the same time. Its not a good sign, actually. Whered she go to law school . Oh, boy, a lot of questions. Not a good sign. Well go through the flurry of legal filings last yesterday in the 2020 election case that has the judge summoning both sides to a washington, d. C. , courtroom. Different judge. This is a different judge, a different case. Plus, action around the Fulton County courthouse in atlanta. Different case. Sparking speculation that another indictment, another one, could be coming very soon for the former president. Also ahead, well explain how the fight for Abortion Rights in ohio could hang on what happens in todays special election
Up Way Too Early on this thursday morning. Well have coverage of the State Of The Union tonight. Morning joe starts right now. January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of Domestic Business they didnt not like. Fellow americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the senate floor. They tried to hunt down the speaker of the house. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president. They did this because theyd been Fed Wild Falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth. Because he was angry and lost an election. Former President Trumps actions preceded the riot for a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty. Therefore, i am endorsing donald j. Trump. You know, the one thing we cut off there, and maybe its not fair to mitch, is that at the end of it, right after that, he broke into a rousing tune, had a band, happy days are here again. It was like the 32 convention. I coul
Person to be charged in connection with the insurrection according to one count is a former president and a current front runner for the nomination of a Major Political party who is already facing 74 criminal counts. Who stands accused of trying to defraud the government that he led at that time. Trying to obstruct the proceedings of a branch of government and trying to overturn the will of millions of voters in the swing states that determined the outcome of the Electoral College. The big question now that trump has been booked and fingerprinted, whats next in this case . Which is really unlike any other in American History. Here is what team trump has planned according to the New York Times. His lawyers used the arraignment to hint at one of his central defense strategies, a request to delay a second pending federal trial for months if not years. Delaying the proceedings as much as possible is widely expected to be part of mr. Trumps legal strategy given that he could effectively cal
From mega donors. Elena schneider, thank you for joining us this morning with your reporting. Thanks for getting up Way Too Early with us on this Monday Morning. Morning joe starts right now. We will restore peace through strength. Get that war settled. Thats a bad war. And putin, you know, has so little respect for obama that he is starting to throw around the nuclear word, too. You heard that, nuclear. Donald trump over the weekend once again thinking hes running against barack obama. When trump wasnt confusing biden with obama really sad. He apparently thought he was obama. It really is sad. Taking credit for legislation that was signed by his predecessor. So sad. For our great veterans, we passed v. A. Accountability and v. A. Choice. That was a big deal. I have no greater honor than serving as your president and commander in chief, and i have no greater privilege than the chance to help make sure our country keeps the promises weve made to everybody who signs up to serve.
