hello, and welcome to inside politics. i m john king in washington. thank you for sharing your day with us. right now the fbi is at mike pence s indiana home trying to track down any classified documents that perhaps went home with the former vice president. it happens as pence also grapples with the big subpoena from the special counsel investigating donald trump. plus, ready or not, joe biden holds off on formally announcing he s running again but says he feels good about how the voters feel about him. and the death toll in turkey and syria now get this north of 22,000. countless souls remain under the rubble. hope in short supply as survivors grapple with what s next and with what they ve lost. translator: we are four families staying in this vehicle now. thank god we came out fine. but the buildings we live in are uninhabitable now. not only us but all the entire neighborhood we live in is like that. my whole family died. my father, mother, brother, sister, an
ranted about his trial where 12 jurors made him a convicted felon. he called it rigged, and that he made what you can only interpret as a threat to the courts that will decide the validity of his conviction we have to straighten out what s going on. are these sports. we got a rig deal go this whole country and we ve got to do it. and those appellate courts have to step up and straighten things out, or we re not going to have a country any longer now, trump it is disciples, they all have the same complaint basically that the system is somehow stacked against them and that they all have the same cure for that tearing down the system altogether take steve bannon for example, the former trump fixer, who was just ordered to report to jail they re not going to shut up trump they re not going to shut navarro. they re not going to shut up bannon and they re certainly not going to shove maga. there s nothing that can shut me up and nothing that will shut me up. there s not a person. there s n
that juries for foundational trial chausson and that we should always believe and trust in the wisdom of them. and that s what happened. and none of them have an answer for that. and i would ask speaker john for what in trump defend himself? if this was all a rig deal and he was being stopped from being talking, he had every right to take that stand and tell his side of the story. it chickened out. he was scared. he said that he would he did an upper the don t think he s going to bake present biden. i m hoping to ask me on cnn june 27th. i think he s not weasel out of that too. we will see. do you have any concern, james, that this verdict potentially could backfire on democrats and unite trump skeptical republicans around the former president i m concerned about everything. i m professional everything worries me, but i mean, this sincerely that jury did its job, that god must claim that lead prosecutor it out to give
have done this with a handful of first year law students and they said, what s the widest range of things that will help us smear donald trump? they threw them all together. you as you know, the classic story. now you could get a ham sandwich indicted by a juror grand jury because the power of the prosecutor coming in with no defense attorneys, no rules of evidence. no cross examination. so you know this is a rig deal. everybody knows that. but what i m struck with tonight, sean, and i wanna make too much of this, but i think it s interesting that just as what you saw the other day with the appointment of weiss, a special counsel was just incompetent. it made no sense. having her she comes out and you again we got more news, apparently, mark meadows and john eastman. have been indicted as well. um literally , i m opening up the what? looks like an indictment. can i ask the people in the control room? are you sure this is from this isn t from earlier today because it looks exactly like
