providing that the united states reserves and retains complete ownership, possession and control of presidential records. for more than a year, and despite multiple opportunities to remedied situation and return materials that rightly belong to the federal government, donald trump refused to cooperate time and time again. as we know now from the indictment unsealed by the department of justice yesterday, the former president and his personal valet, and now codefendants, walt nauta have both been indicted. trump along faces 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, and one count of false statements. both men are also charged with one count each of his conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document, corruptly concealing a document, concealing and documents in a federal investigation, and a scheme to conceal. not to has also in charge for making false statements. the government alleges in his indictment that it s not only a passive bystander that go
the doj to appoint a special counsel. anybody vet this guy? yep. the fbi grilling biden aides about how top-secret files ended up next to his corvette. we re also learning the same house was hunter s hangout pad. that s right, the drug-loving first son lived at the property propertyfor years and even had s credit card statement sent there. he d never be careless about classified information, right? do you think it s irresponsible and reckless of him? irresponsible is not to disclose when you have documents. he s certainly done that. biden people are bringing forth the documents. they re not obstructing access to them or knowledge about them. why did he not inform the american public two months ago? do you think that was a mistake? i don t know what you re saying right now. seem much more measured with this than the trump documents. you called for transparency with the trump documents. bottom line i said that night it s premature to comment on what should be done
we believe he was getting grift. and i m no great fan of chris christie running for president, but he says it best. this is an entire grifted family that is always looking for their own enrichment at the expense of others, whether it s their own attorneys, people who work for, them or the greater american people at large. in a little while, i will be talking to a couple people who were involved in watergate. one of the distinctions there is republicans and democrats, republicans knew that their republican president was a liability and had done something wrong, and, largely people on that one. in this particular case, you actually tweeted, i call on my republican colleagues not to weaponize congress to the benefit of a man at the expense of our republic. liz cheney had said something similarly a year ago, saying donald trump will ultimately be gone, but you, who support him,
people in traffic stops. black people get stopped much more than the general popu population. i m generalizing here. i m maybe stereotyping. but of the 2 million people that are incarcerated a wacky disproportionate number of them are african american. shouldn t a conscientious progressive try to remedy racism and criminal justice? how do you remedy that that, geraldo? do you let everybody off that hurts people? that s not the remedy. that makes the problem worse. what he does is, he goes into these trenches, in these local races, where the money he s spending punches above its weight. you give a million dollars to a da or a mayor s race? boom, that s an automatic victory. not like you re spreading money around in a senate campaign. that money is grifted.
principles, it s painful to acknowledge that the party of lincoln helped that the party lincoln helped build now embodies the very dangers that lincoln warned about. but how did that happen, pete? i guess the first question is. well, it s a long and complicated story, mika. but i think what happened is the republican party became grifted by grievances, victimization mentality, and then conspiracy theories. it moved away from a philosophy, as joe, was alluding to, where any interest in ideas became performtive. these trends started before trump. trump became president and he accelerated all the worst tendencies. and i agree with joe. i think it s important to disaggregate the republican party, the same party from the insurrectionist party. my concern is that the base of the party identifies with the
