go to the american public and tell them to stop this. he has to go to the american public and stop this.me kevin mccarthy was not the only republican callings on donald trump to put an end to the violence that day. we learned 11 other republicans congresswe reached out to the white house or made some kind of public statement that day to implore the president to do something, to do anything to stop the violence. in fact, his eldest son, don jr. texted then white house chief of staff mark meadows saying, he s got to condemn this asap. the capitol police tweet is not enough. and he has to lead now.as it has gone too far. and gotten out of hand. three different fox news hosts sean hannity, laura ingram, brian, all of them, all texted meadows saying trump needed to make a statement telling people to leave. that is what we know was happening outside of the white house during the 187mens from trump s speech on the ellipse urging supporters to fight like hell andel when he finally
That them to break and i think you are going to see more indictments brought i georgia by the federal government, by jack smith as special counsel team so, i do think you know, thi sort of justice ball is gainin momentum at this point glenn, i got less than minute i did not ask. what does it say to you, though that it take a stat court da, a state da, to b able to bring charges first, t be able to get to somebody lik donald trump i think it s a shame. donald trump is a federa problem. he requires a federal solution that looks like a federa indictment for the insurrection, for the documents crimes, and think it is a bit of a failure by the department of justice that they are going to let a state go first that really is not the way thi should have been handled, in m opinion. glenn furchner, i lov having you on. not only do you break it dow for us, but justice matters. i know you deliver it so, thank you so much and we have a quick programmin note today
Existing requirements. the requirement that the attorney general be in the loop and that he or she as well have to look over the evidence and at the point where a case is being opened, that they re involved in that decision-making process. it seems to me that this is more restoration of rule of law and doj is back to business as usual than anything else. i ve heard folks say that, well, this sortea of memo could be us by a future attorney general who is not as scrupulous as merrick garland in a really bad malicious way. that s true, if we have an attorney general in the future who is inclined to behave that way, whether thiswh memo is in place or not, they ll certainly do whatever it is that they re intent upon doing. for now, this signals to me as someone who has been involved in over 25on years at doj with thi sort of on going election work that the commitment remains in place that doj s job is not to interfere with elections. doj conducts its investigations
