evidence that he was even asked, the trump was even asked, to give his documents back. he was cooperating with him on this issue for months now. so i take it to the extreme extent? i think that s why you re seeing so much backlash from republicans, and seeing everyone coalesce. it doesn t matter what side of the issue they are on with trump. i have seen a lot coalesce around this. because it does seem unjust. this all comes as the new nbc eufaula today says a 57% of americans believe the investigations into trump should continue. at this breaking news this hour, republican senator lindsey graham s granulators to money on election interference. that is now in question. a federal appeals court, today, in fact just a short while ago, temporarily blocked testifying in georgia. setting the case now back to the district court ought to determine if that subpoena should be partially quashed or modified. no reaction today from the january six committee, days after mike pence says th
about the president s counsel, the vice president s counsel. they all told him it was un-american. in the words of a prosecutor, illegal. even the nation s top prosecutor, the attorney general bill barr, found no evidence to support a play to stay in office. and tonight we have not one but two former attorneys general here both nominated by republican president. and both are going to give us their take on whether the emperor s wardrobe might be traded for prison garb. the former attorney general merrick garland says he is watching closely. but i wonder what his predecessors would think and what they would do. day three has had a theme, pressure, persistent, unyielding pressure, all targeting vice president mike pence. the browbeating all began behind the scenes. but when that didn t work, the bully pulpit was the new soap box. and pence s failure to succumb to it put him in danger. the vp s chief of staff was so worried the president was putting his life at risk, that he aler
illusions. i do not have the power to throughout the election results, nor does any individual american as our forefathers said. and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow, and america forever. but i m not gonna do that. i mean, the chief of staff, calls up the trump guy and complains about it. but why don t you just put out the vice presidential statement immediately? yes, a very good point. and they re not showing us every single thing they ve obtained and every question and answer with everyone. and maybe, the congressman schiff could tell us that they did have some exchanges about why did the vice president didn t make a statement that they. they might have that in their. we ll see what congressman schiff have to say. go for it, lawrence. thank you rachel. he did his duty. that s what liz cheney said today about mike pence, at the beginning of the january six committee hearing. he stayed true to his oath. that s what democratic congressman pete aguilar said
week. we ve been going through this together. you ve probably watched the hearings as we have and we ve done our live reactions, but tonight a little later, i m going to walk through what i think is the most damning thing we learned this week. stay with us for that if you re interested, but there was an investigation about how the proud boys violence was more methodical. this is new from a new york times investigation out today. recruits are told to meet at the washington monument the morning of the 6th. many worked as teams. like this group in tactical gear. within two minutes of biggs arrival, they are all at that entrance. a fellow member tells the group to push inside the capitol. one of the leaders responds, we are trying. it s further evidence of their collective intent. at this point the proud boys have been critical players in five major advances. you can see from the aerial shot the blueprints they were apparently trying to use and plan. well, some of it work
the idea of mike pence, as his staff, gets into cars, pence says we re not leaving here, we are going to stay, and i m going to do my constitutional duty as vice president of the united states. get out of the cars, get back into the capitol. i mean, that s a very moving scene. and good for mike pence. and to see those pictures of him at this loading dock, wherever that was. you mean, this was a moment in american history that could have gone either way. i think that s, you know, so reinforced. i mean, there could have been a lot more deaths. there could have been a constitutional crisis. it was bad enough as it was. but it could have been worse. and mike pence deserves a lot of credit for the resolution was as good, if that s the word, as it turned out to be. i was a little surprised. i think it was the first hearing that the evidence came out from members of the committee that i think it was liz cheney said that when this question of hang mike pence got back to trump
