the question is was grim leaning on the georgia secretary of state throwing votes. the delay will allow grand an opportunity to challenge the subpoena based on protections for lawmakers under the constitution s speech and debate clause. msnbc legal analyst joyce vance told me the federal judge could move this along quickly, but don t count on it. she could order a very expedited briefing schedule and perhaps have the issue ready for resolution in under a week or ten days. that would be very unusual, and typical briefing schedules are much length ear. only after she makes that ruling does this case go back to the 11th circuit for determination. so we are likely talking about a delay of months more than weeks. big in the meantime, trump as he has work to do is playing the victim, attacking an investigation and his actions as they quote, witch hunt or hoax. he can t hide from the truth forever despite his attempts to undermine the investigations. the american people, t ....
it was illegal, the next question is, did they try to pull it off anyway? if the answer to that is yes they try to pull it off anyway, my next personal question is always, well when they try to pull it off was it occasionally hilarious?

my interview with ukraine s former president about what is going to take to end russia s brutal invasion of his country. why is florida governor ron desantis undermining covid ccination efforts again and endangering the lives of young children in the process? also, isn t it time for universal health care? good evening, i m mehdi hassan, what did the president know and what did he know that was the seminal question that drove the watergate hearings, amazingly current events make this weekend s anniversary since five burglars were caught trying to break into the headquarters at the watergate complex here in washington, d. c.. it makes that question as fresh and relevant as ever and if the arms of the senator beg the question about what nixon knew, was well nixon knew everything today he was implicated in it all, drawing parallels between the hearings and the january six public hearings that are now unfolding half a century over so far this select committees presenting c ....
during pride month, where did this hate come from? i m ayman mohyeldin, let s get started. tonight, we continue our look at extremism and radicalization through the lens of american radical, we began with a preview of the january six committee, we will take big to the afternoon, will focus on donald trump s attack the pressure officials to throw out joe biden s victory in casing states, one of the most brazen examples of that pressure was a call to georgia s election officials in which trump demanded they find a very specific number of votes. all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. that number would have been enough to declare trump the winner of georgia. two men on the other end of that phone call are expected to testify the fourth year in georgia secretary of state, brad raffensperger, and the top deputy, gabriel sterling, both men receiving death threats after being publicly attacked by trump and his allies. ....
