it for us for tonight. i will see you again tomorrow. now it s time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening rachel. i ve been reading the mark meadows, so-called lawsuit. which it is not actually. it is really just legal vandalism. it is an attempt to completely throw the federal courts in washington into chaos. and so far, this is kind of a big crisis period i think for the federal courts in washington, they are falling for it. this is the kind of thing that used to be dismissed without a single paragraph. just one sentence. we the house would make a motion to have it dismissed, it would be dismissed. now they all want to be all over homes, right these beautiful poised paragraphs, take several weeks doing it, and in the process they are playing, the mark meadows was game. which is nothing but delay. and the courts are not actively participating in the delay with the style of their deliberations and these kinds of absolutely ridiculous frivolous lawsui ....

i didn t really understand before now, which is they can be defied, and they can be defied over time successfully if your game is just delay. and the reason why people like hillary clinton went and testified to a hostile republican-controlled congress is secretary clinton believed she had an obligation to, and she believed politically it s better for her to get out there and answer every single question about this. so she answered for hours and hours and hours on end. these people don t think there is any reason to answer any question about anything. no. and now we got this new strategy of them all pleading the fifth, including roger stone pleading the fifth, john eastman pleading the fifth, jeff clark pleading the fifth, presumably a lot of them will do that now. i mean, doesn t half of you think they re going to plead the fifth hoping to stretch this out long enough that this ends up getting to 2024 and then maybe trump gets back in and he pardons them? oh, sure, ....
off. politicians are very visible, and they tend to be liars, which is great, so you can really go after them. it s making me angry, and i feel like screaming, but i m unsure about how far my neck veins can safely bulge out of my neck. political humor, now that it s become such a farce, it s hard to out do it. yes, this is real life. this is really happening. . i cannot believe the men and women that we have chosen to be our leaders, you watch the in-house footage of congressional hearings, and i think what sort of empty headed pez dispenser say answer am i watching here. politics is one of the most egregious areas of society, great fodder for society! in the white house, in the oval office on the wall, obama has the original copy of the emancipation proclamation, which i m pretty sure is just there in case the tea party is like we don t think you re free, look at the wall. politicians are so loathsome, but we re stuck with them. we can t prosecute all o ....
