good evening from washington. i m michael steele in for chris hayes and there s a lot to get to tonight. including some really big developments in the many criminal investigations into donald trump, but i need to start with a question for today s republican party. what the hell is wrong with you? today s house maga republicans took an official party leadership sanctions field trip to visit the january six insurrectionists who they call political prisoners. this is just one step and exposing what s going on, making sure that we have the right information and really listening to our constituents. we hear about the jails regularly when we go back home and the american people are very concerned about some of the folks who are here. so we re listening to them and hear on their behalf. congresswoman, i hate to break it to you, but you don t have the right information. if you think the american people want you to waste your energy on the violent insurrectionists mob. in fact,
