havi conniptions. roosevelt won in november but wasn t able to get sworn in until march 4th. when he did get sworn in, though, he immediately took action fdr was inaugurated on march 4th. two days later on march 6th he declared for the first time a nationwide bank holiday to freeze the banking system in place, to finally put a national system a national response in place to shore up banking coast to coast to give americans everywhere assurance that they would not lose their money in the banks. and after that we would never again as a country wait that long for a new president to take over after he d been elected in november when fdr sprang into action in march 1933, when he stopped the national banking crisis two days after he was sworn in, he also at the same time invented a whole new thing to communicate with the american people, to explain to them what he and his
it sort of triggered an i.g. to make a referral. why hasn t that happened, either at the national archives or anyone who would have sent or someone from homeland security who was sending or receiving texts from mark meadows why hasn t that triggering event happened at the 1/6 committee to get the ig or d.o.j. to open an investigation? two things. the fact you are invoking again ghazi is significant. because the republicans the conniptions and hours of interviews with hillary. yet all of these republican congress folks are basically saying we shouldn t even have an investigation over january 6th, when they were jumping up and down to investigate like mad, benghazi. and the second thing, the reason why i think we haven t seen that yet is because the congressional investigation is still ongoing. it s always a complicated dance
that are amassed around ukraine, michael. all right, fred pleitgen there in moscow, appreciate it. sam kiley speaking of donbas in that region, there s been a lot of activity, ukrainians say the separatists are firing on themselves to try to provoke things. give us a lay of the land where you are. reporter: well, here about 25 miles from the russian border, a few miles beyond that, we are seeing a continued increase in the russian presence. not that that s causing any significant conniptions here. the second biggest city in ukraine. very much the center of its intellectual life. yesterday, michael, i was down close to the front line where there was sporadic shelling. there were eight significant detonations in the time. we were in a little village called new york, believe it or not, right on the front line on a street, the end of which gives way to the rebel-held area, and
time or something like that. maybe that little piece shouldn t be disclosed absolutely, i m agreeing with you 100% if the biden administration walked back letting the american public and congress know what s happening on january 6th, i will have a conniption. i takeit the white house is on the same page there. you re known for your measured analysis and not for conniptions. if you re going to get to a katyal conniption, that would be quite a development. you re warning us to sit it out and see where this lands which is a fair point as well as everyone s following quite closely what comes out of the white house on that. i want to switch gears but a similar topic playing something steve schmidt said when he was talking to rachel. what we re seeing here is this building chorus of attacks on the 2020 election results and it s gotten more and more absurd which on the one hand can make you feel dismissive like, leave it alone, why even bring it up
again, if it is true. well, if it s true, don, it comes back to three simple little words obstruction of justice. i mean, this is pretty clear-cut. there is no way in heck that the president should be discussing an ongoing case, especially one in which he is involved with the acting attorney general. and, remember, the conniptions that republicans had earlier on when bill clinton was on a tarmac and happened to run into loretta lynch, who was then the attorney general under president obama, and apparently they had a friendly exchange about their grandkids and so forth. but then people like donald trump screamed that this was impeding the course of justice and that hillary was not going to be locked up for her supposed crimes because of this conversation between bill clinton and loretta lynch. now, if that was improper, what is this? this is improper on steroids. this is truly the kind of thing for which richard nixon got impeached. i mean, this certainly looks like obstruction of j
