believed meadows will be the fall guy, but what, if anything, will the doj do about trump? also tonight, security footage from uvalde, texas reveals more of the inexplicable lack of action by police as children were being murdered. plus, we will share some astounding ignorance about the female anatomy from the very republican lawmakers who are using congressional hearings to cheer on the post-roe state abortion ban. one of the witnesses joins me tonight. but, first, we start with the breathtaking body of work that the select committee on the january 6th attack has presented thus far, and it is damning. what we know seven hearings in is that trump knew that he had lost. he was told so over and over again, that 81 million americans voted for joe biden but trump who spent his life bending if not break the law decided to take matters into his own hands. surrounded by yemen and what fellow republicans called the crazies, trump pursued three avenues to try to stay in power. first,
