department of homeland security wanted to try to recover those deleted secret service messages from around the time of the january 6th attack on the capitol. but then the trump-appointed agency, watchdog step in. mika, did someone gel on that. that doesn t make sense on any level for any department in government. i don t, something is definitely wrong and perhaps. steve kornacki is standing by to help break down leaks which feature a number of candidates who deny the 2020 election results. what is the anger meter, the rage meter this morning. well, the rage will join us. the rage will be on. he s going to be here? we re very lucky, joe. i thought he only did rodeos in august. we re very, very lucky, the rage is back. one of the reasons we re going to be hearing from rusty. there he is. wow, just got a chill down my spine. we ll hear from rusty bowers. the arizona speaker who may pay the price for the 2020 election and testifying before it before the janu
very clear, too, that no one, no one, including a president of the united states, is above the law. by the way, today is the six-year anniversary of that speech in indiana. happy anniversary to the president, as the fbi goes through his documents this morning. what a long road it s been. you know, he actually, i guess, in 2018, willie, he passed a law. he signed a law that actually made the protection of classified material even stronger. that is a good thing to do. it is a good thing to do. he said in the campaign law and order party. he was going to protect all classified information. so says it in the campaign. willie, he actually passes legislation. kept his word. he signs it, comes into law. that the penalties for not protecting classified information going to be even tougher because of hillary clinton s emails. yeah, remember the context of that speech six years ago was all about hillary clinton and the emails and the private server that she had.
information, but it doesn t require it. you re right, willie, these were the u.s. government s records, according to the fbi and the justice department. the practice of every other president has been you turn them over to the archives. if you want to write your memoirs, go and review them. if they are classified, go to at a facility where you can review them. as the scripture says, for now, gene robinson, we re seeing through a glass darkly. we don t know what is going on, but if you read the washington post, the new york times, the wall street journal, you can certainly take a couple of really good educated guesses. first of all, we do know, apparently from this response on the affidavit, there is an ongoing criminal investigation into donald trump s mishandling of criminal documents. if you read the article talking about eric herschmann being called, being subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury, it
