President at the United States. The only person who could possibly have told jack smith and The Grand Jury about those phone calls is mike pence. The january Six Committee invited mike pence to testify, but he refused. The january Six Committee did not bother to issue a statement to mike pence since they knew he would ignore it, just as some other elected republicans ignored subpoenas from the committee. Mike pence could not ignore jack smiths subpoena. Mike pence went to court in what he knew was a legally hopeless attempt to block jacks mitt subpoena. Mike pence went to court to try to show trumps quarters, whose votes he wants in the president ial campaign to think that he was forced by Judicial Process to testify to jack smiths grand jury. Mike pence did not just testify to jack smiths grand jury. He became the star witness, and he will be the start witness when the case that the United States of america versus Donald J Trump is presented to a trial jersey in washington, d. C. They
Really sad. That is absolutely heartbreaking. Oh, brandi. You need to keep on keeping on. Thank you for the work you do, and thanks for coming to talk to us about it. In the meantime, there are a slew of new headlines in the Trump Classified documents case, along with reports of that new audiotape. The implications of all of this with the author of these stories, our new hour starts right now. A very good day from all of you to msnbc World Headquarters in new york, thank you to alex witt reports. We begin this hour with new reaction to the big debt ceiling deal, with President Biden having signed it today. His historic First Oval Office address dominating the front pages of newspapers across the country, highlighting his pronouncement of crisis averted, and his message of unity and bipartisanship i know bipartisanship is hard. And unity is hard. But we can never stop trying, no matter how tough our politics gets, we need to see each other not as adversaries, but as federal americans. T
this post in 2017. he is also a registered republican. but that did not matter to the gop members who used today s hearing to go after him personally. when the court says the fbi misled, but it s a nice way of saying they lied. the american people fully understand that there is a two tiered justice system. that has been weaponized to persecute people based on their political beliefs. and that you have personally been worked to weaponize the fbi against conservatives. i would disagree with your characterization of the fbi. and certainly your description of my own approach. the idea that i m biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me given my own personal background. your job is to review what they do, your job is to protect the american people from tyrannical fbi, storming the home of an american family. i could not disagree more with your description of the fbi s tyrannical. you seem deeply and curious about, it don t you? almost suspiciously i m c
was part of some operation orchestrated by fbi agents is ludicrous. your job is to review what they do. your job is to protect the american people from a tyrannical fbi storming the home of a american family. i could not agree more with your description of the fbi being tyrannical. you preside over the fbi that has the lowest level of trust in the fbi s history. people trusted the fbi more when j. ed gar hoover was running the place. respectfully, congressman, in your home state of florida the number of people applying to come work for us is up over 100%. the american people fully understand there is a two tiered justice system that has been weaponized to persecute people based on their political beliefs and that you have personally worked to weaponize the fbi against conservatives. i would disagree with your characterization of the fbi and certainly your description. the idea i m biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me given my own personal backgro
he was, of course, appointed by donald trump. and during his testimony today, he faced hostile questioning from fellow republicans. republicans, you see, in the defense of donald trump, have adopted the line that the fbi is a bunch of out of control woke deep state maniacs looking to purge conservatives and politically target republicans. it s an idea that is pernicious and also comical if you know anything about the history of the fbi, who with his tended to target over the decades, or the fact that it s nearly hundred year history, all of it senate confirmed fbi directors, nigh none has ever been a registered democrat. i digress. there was one moment during hearing the convoy intention. here it is. around the questioning about the fbi and january 6th from republican congressman darrell issa of california. how many individuals were either fbi employees or people that the fbi had made contact with were in the january 6th entry of the capital and surrounding area? i really
