Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. What the president and his attorneys are up to, devlin barrett. They really moved quickly to get out there, the notion that there is no directive or order behind this tweet. No other set of instructions going to the justice department. And while they say, you know, this is just his opinion, the truth is that the president does sometimes announce or carry out Executive Decisions via tweet. You can ask rex tillerson, the former secretary of state about that who was essentially fired by a tweet. This is an amazing day. I think there were incredible things that happened today. But how it all plays out and what the ultimate consequences of these things is still playing
on it great point. Thanks for your time. Here to help me joyce vance. We already know that the mueller team was looking at pronouncements by the president by tweets. An interesting debates about the status of those legally. What do you make of what he said today . Today look loose i ca
Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Of these things is still playing out. One of the things that has happened is we have seen an escalation against mueller. This was crossing a line he has not crossed before. This is the closest he has come to a direct order to stop an investigation into himself and the campaign. And not only that, he is doing it as an fbi agent is on the stand testifying. It is still amazing and i dont think we should lose track of either of those things, they are both remarkable and both frankly what we have seen before. It has been hard. And we are looking through the Mueller Investigation through a straw and we get the king of unreliable narrators. What do we know in terms of the back and forth. A lot of today was about
gam gamesmanship. They dont want to say absolutely not we will not do an interview. So this is part of the gamesmanship. Mueller is saying, okay, we will take some of the questions off the table. Would you please sit down with us. And frankly i
disavow former kkk leader, david duke. and the proud boys at a later debate. the proud boys. the proud boys, stand back and stand by. there s been silence from republican leadership, but a handful of republicans have criticized trump for dining with f f nick fuentes this weekend, like asa hutchinson. i don t think it s a good idea for a leader setting an example for the country or party to meet with avowed racist or anti- anti-semite. this morning, it s highlighted that trump hasn t apologized for dining with nick fuentes. while the wall street journal is predicting this won t be the last time something like this happens, writing republicans who continue to go along for the ride with mr. trump are teeing
unbiassed election workers dedicated to the process and not an outcome. across the country we see people not only starting the audits but running for positions to do the bidding of the big lie and most americans just don t understand that this is happening. so the ones that are being told by stacey abrams, who are being informed about the new limitations, yes, it is likely to spur new turnout but on the whole the fact that they are not able to stop the steal to perfect the steal for 2022 and 2024 is lost on most of america. to your point, a.b. there s new reporting in politico that the republicans are now running for these offices, for this secretary of state spot. politico is writing republicans who sought to undercut or overturn president biden s election win are launching campaigns to become the state s top election officials.
sided. alan dershowitz writes this. all of this is why the legal team of president trump should demand, as a matter of basic fairness, but the special counsel report should not be released to the public or to congress until his attorneys have a reasonable opportunity to study it and file a response. now, joining me today his book drops author of the new book the case against impeaching trump, we have a lot to talk about. harvard professor emeritus, alan dershowitz. except it s now the case against the democratic house impeaching trump, because the democrats took control of the house today. the real risk to trump you never had that risk when the republicans controlled the house but the democrats, by a simple majority, could do with the republicans did to bill clinton 25 years ago. harris: can i take us back politically, quickly? that ended up writing republicans. it did. this would end up hurting
