i m very curious if others wil echo that call two is i wondering what kind o resources actually come to bea for house republicans if the do, in fact, launch thes investigations yes, they have been lookin into the politicization of the justice department already this does fits into that pattern. will they go full bore on this will they do that? because that, ultimately, coul serve trump even more in the context of the republica primary. if the house republican party, their political apparatuses, oversight apparatuses, are trained to do this, that is, i a, way a platform to help trum run for office it does further the idea of th republican party is essentiall operating on his plane and doing his dirty work it really does feel like we are in new to rain carol, last question to you. the impact on law enforcement, of not just trump s social media posting this morning, bu also this new tweet from speec
house committees investigate this potentially local investigation into the president, which is, of course so hugely significant and sh is saying quote, mccarth proves again through his leadership, the hous republicans will not tolerat the democrats weaponization of government and political persecution. you can see who mccarthy i appealing to when he made this tweet, made this statement, yo could see just how muc influence and pull some of the hard right members of his part have at this moment. as garrett told you earlier, the weaponization committe already exists under judiciary committee chairman jim jorda who, by the way, retweeted mccarthy s tweets, and that to his spokesperson, and i have not heard back on specific tex they are going to take on this it s very obvious that now which is hugely, hugel significant, mccarthy is going to use these house committees, federal committees, to look at something that is happening at the very local level
hundreds of police officers, more than 100 police officer were injured people died! he wants to do that all over again? this is not a man who owe base the rule of law. this is not a man who obeys th law. this is what s so scary an terrifying we don t need more violence in america. we need congresswoman - we need the rule of law t govern in a peaceful fashion congresswoman, let me get o one more thing watergate is, perhaps, the closest comparison we have t these trump investigations with the former presiden facing a possible indictment reforms were made afte watergate, but that wasn t necessarily the case after january six. the trump administration, what do you think needs fixing in our democracy? well, the thing that th happen, a few things have to happen i think the thing that has t happen now is that congress, and the republicans, canno interfere with a lawful proces of prosecutions. if there s evidence, then th
