I would love to talk i will talk about it. Theyre not taking away my First Amendment rights. Donald trump claiming earlier this week that no one is going to stop him from speaking about his criminal case. Today, judge Tanya Chutkan laid down the law and told trumps lawyer that trumps words will have consequences. And the First Amendment is not absolute. Plus, attorney general Merrick Garland appoints a Special Counsel to investigate hunter biden . And republicans are predictably complaining about it after spending months demanding exactly that. And good evening, everyone. Happy friday. Tonight was a big night for donald trump, who discovered that after all, at least to the criminal Justice System, he is no different from anyone else. Despite his fame and political prominence, he cant just publicly abuse witnesses because hes on the campaign trail. The judge who taught him that lesson today is named Tanya Chutkan. I have a bunch more to say on her in a bit, but we begin the reidout toni
professional resume, his education, even teeny tiny little details of his personal life have turned out to be either little white lies or outright pathological falsehoods in the last 72 hours, there has been a breathtaking avalanche of new reporting on the house of cards that is george santos public life. where to begin? well, there is his secret resume unearthed by reporters at the new york times that reads like a detailed road map of his lies, including claims he attended baruch college, earned an mba from nyu and was a wiz kid at goldman sachs. and then today, santos has deeper ties than previously known to a cousin of a sanctioned russian oligarch. he gave tens of thousands of dollas to committees linked to santos. msnbc has not confirmed that reporting, but it is worth noting that george santos has not addressed some of the accusations against him. he has apologized for what he calls, quote, embellishments and to say he s done nothing unethical. if we have learned any
criminals. i think all of the evidence that i have seen so far in this case is that hunter biden, he could be a terrible guy. i don t know, never met him, is being treated worse than anyone else would be. he s being treated worse the way donald trump claims he s being treated worse, but he actually is. because normally this would just be misdemeanor stuff that would be done with. instead, he s endlessly investigated because of politics. that s my perception. what s yours? with respect to the gun charge, which i don t expect we ll see again because we now have a ruling from a circuit that that offense violated the second amendment after the supreme court s ruling last year in a different case, a second amendment case. i don t think we ll see that reappear. to your point, that charge was part of a negotiated plea agreement. so you know, there s lots of factors that go into that. there s a give and take from both sides. it was something that was subject to a diversion agreement, which m
well, i sometimes i feel like a one note choir on this show about doj, but it i will never understand, when you have a department of justice, and i know they had a lot of low-level crimes to prosecute. in the grand scheme of things, if i m thinking of the court system that the felony stuff is in one court and the misdemeanor stuff is in another court, not that what these guys did in the building wasn t serious and awful and to be prosecuted, but you always keep your eye on the prize, and that s the guy that s running the whole operation. that s the guy that s pulling the strings, that s the guy that s making it happen. and the tools that justice has dwarfs the tools of a congressional investigative committee. dwarfs them. do you think anybody can ignore a doj subpoena without consequences like kevin mccarthy
i mean, it kind of scare med a little bit, this one did. i had a tourniquet. i tied it off. about the time i started to pass out i realized, this thing here s starting to bleed pretty good. hill has had a long history with the tulsa county jail and the oklahoma state prison system. over the past 20 years he s been convicted and served time for crimes including robbery, domestic violence, and escape. he s currently accused of fatally stabbing a man during an attempted robbery and is now awaiting trial for first-degree murder. but hill appears confused about his charges. they told me they were investigating an assault, okay? well, i had assault and battery, i knew about that. misdemeanor stuff, you know what i mean? robert, according to the court documents, the victim in your case was stabbed to death. stabbed to death? see, that s another thing, man, like i feel like that s not me,
