is the only issue at hand proceedings or some of the most secretive proceedings processes a non political process. this guy is doing politics. he has an agenda that is not the rule of law. its spirits. he s ready to go in and do what he needs to do. this is not a situation that he has any control over. i think right now he s beyond petrified to liberal prosecutor that s doing political revenge against a former president. that s not a precedent that you want to have more dangerous precedent to set here would be to do nothing. today it all happens. today is the day the day good morning, everyone seven am here on the east coast. we re glad you re with us. the sun is up. behind caitlin outside of 100 center, street street, caitlin, the manhattan criminal court house, which is where the world s attention will be on the former president today. yeah i should note that there are a lot of security here. there s a lot of new york police department officers, a lot of barricades. there i
know, there s about 60 right now targeting the district attorney. individual senior staff, the judge and you cannot separate yourself from that threat stream and statements that former president trump has made about. the judge hates me. why is he? the district attorney is trying to derail the elections. so and that way, you know, there has been a stirring of the pot in terms of verbiage that has generated real concern, saying that the d a should indict himself overnight. well and they say a lot worse than that in these threat streams. i mean, i was going through them last night on the late side and you know, they call for violence, but you know, nypd assesses those. so do they see a specific, credible threat? no looking for that lone wolf. yeah, they re down there right now. scanning miller. thank you very, very much. katelyn polantz was just thinking as john was entering that last question how rare it is to see these sustained attacks on the judiciary on judges, something
and attack for that day. in other words, they knew this was a real clear and present danger and yet there were no reinforcements sent to you. it seems like they left you hanging out there to dry in retrospect, hearing that, what does that mean to you? i find that very concerning. i mean, having done many events, i mean, i ve handled numerous inaugurations, numerous nces. i ve never seen intelligence handled this way before and for events with far lesser threat streams, usually the fbi would do a briefing, a joint intelligence bulletin would call and do a video, a conference call, even none of that occurred. now, or find out dhs failed to share information, but my own intelligence unit didn t put some of the significant intelligence that i now know they they had into their final assessment. there s a risk, you could have been done. i was just going to say to better prepare us . yeah.
in the most fortified city in america? on a day when the vice president and almost every lawmaker was inside and when everyone knew there was going to be a big rally expected at the capitol that day, now, coming up tonight, the person who was serving as the capitol police chief on january six , steven son , he will join us and help answer that question. and it s an extremely important question. as i said at the time, the january 6th committee, they had a predetermined outcome to go after donald trump, bludgeon him as much as possible. and that s why congressman jim jordan, congressman jim banks were off the committee. they were kicked off the committee. and only members that impeach donald trump were allowed on the committee. not exactly a fair committee. now, sadly, democrats are not interested in learning how the capitol is breached, why security failed so badly. but here s the saddest part to me. and it should be the whole country. and that is this whole saga. it is the ve
was stolen, they believed trump had a plan to win. and any day now, it was going to be proved. and january the 6th was the last real day that you could keep that fantasy alive. and so, when trump himself summoned them to d.c. on january the 6th, this was really only going to go one way. these were people who are coming to d.c. expecting to watch trump win somehow. whether that was by congress somehow, nevertheless, deciding to make him the president and throw out the the biden votes. or whether it was by trump using the military or perhaps the crowd themselves as the militia to basically storm congress and install a dictatorship. so once they were there and they were there because he called them there, i think it was only going to go one way. and these threat streams, you were seeing. they were publicly publicly visible at the time, correct? i understand you thought a warning from you directly to the fbi wasn t necessary but you were concerned enough to tweet about it.
