deadly, but they are actually effective. and now he s turned and gone back into the russia, he claims he s going to fix the situation because he claims that the russian military attacked his men. this has been a long simmering food between the russian defense minister and prigozhin, but prigozhin says he s doing something about it. we are unable to convert any of this, we have heard reports from ukrainians that they ve crossed into russia. that wagner group has crushed into russia. burgos russia is on high alert. moscow has tanks in the streets, they re calling it a coup attempt. he denies that s the case, it is all very confusing. but this guy is both volatile and dangerous. i will say on the american side, there is a concern. russia is a nuclear armed country, and having a whole bunch of people fighting about who s in charge of it is actually more serious than not. so, everybody tonight is on high alert about what s going on in russia. something is happening, we do not ha
russia wouldn t have the success that it s had if not for prigozhin and the wagner group. they re mercenaries, they re deadly, but they are actually effective. and now he s turned and gone back into the russia, he claims he s going to fix the situation because he claims that the russian military attacked his men. this has been a long simmering food between the russian defense minister and prigozhin, but prigozhin says he s doing something about it. we are unable to convert any of this, we have heard reports from ukrainians that they ve crossed into russia. that wagner group has crushed into russia. burgos russia is on high alert. moscow has tanks in the streets, they re calling it a coup attempt. he denies that s the case, it is all very confusing. but this guy is both volatile and dangerous. i will say on the american side, there is a concern. russia is a nuclear armed country, and having a whole bunch of people fighting about who s in charge of it is actually more serio
january 6th attack on the capital. back with us is glenn kirschner. glenn, what s your evaluation as a prosecutor of these developments? immunity and a potential cooperation agreement? yeah, you know, immediately was yeah, because what immunity me, jonathan, is that there is somebody who is probably been involved in crime, but the prosecutors make a tactical decision. we re not going to charge them. instead, we re going to grant them immunity and we re going to compel their testimony. we re going to squeeze it out of them in the grand jury. once you give them immunity, they no longer have a fifth amendment right against self incrimination that they can invoke, and not testify. but the challenge with immunity is once you grant somebody immunity, if you need to rely on that person at trial, there are going to be on the receiving end of some scorched earth cross-examination. because the defense attorney will say, listen you ve committed crimes. you were granted immunity by that prosecut

regarded as one of the most responsible, reasonable and best storytelling committees we ve ever seen. and ever seen in contrast with the jim jordan clown committees. just how professional of a committee it was. and it should not have taken a congressional committee to bring the light to evidence that motivated the departments to seek these investigations. but that is exactly what they did. and so the past is the past. and what jack smith is doing right now is so important, and again i m not rooting for a donald trump indictment around january 6th, i m just rooting for the rule of law. and that if the facts meet the law in this case and donald trump obstructed congress or conspired to defraud the united states, then just like any other person who did that or who has done that, he should be held accountable. glenn kirschner, as always thanks for joining us. congressman swalwell, please stay with us. because we have some breaking
