rachel laser is here and randy winegarden and andrew weissmann. sarah, your reaction and then we'll dive into it. >> i think that takes narrow decision. however, it can have an enormous step backwards. we live in a country where my wife and i's rights live and die by nine justices whether or not we can get married, whether or not we can buy a piece of cake, whether or not we can now order a website. and i think that to pull it into context for everybody because there has been a lot of thought on this and really great thought, there has been over 500 anti-lgbt bills proposed at the state level this year. about 75 of them have become law. 10 of those are "don't say gay" bills. in ten states we have don't say gay bills now. glad just reported that there have been 350 acts of violence against our community. so we're living in a country right now that is attacking us as humans, attacking our rights. and we still didn't have an equality act. we don't have federal protections for our community. we live and die by the supreme court whether or not we have

we're back with glenn thrush and andrew weissmann. andrew, he said it more in an elegant manner. to a bumper sticker, it's the democracy, stupid. do you think we're there yet where this is setting up to be -- and you have a unique vantage point op the assault of the rule of law. the story we're talking about is just a brick in the wall of a much broader republican effort to annihilate the credibility and the legitimacy of the u.s. department of justice and fbi. >> well, first to the former president's comments, he is right both in terms of the history of the world, in terms of democracy is not something that is the norm. it is really still a newfangled proposition, and certainly in this country, as i'm sure he was thinking but did not say, but slavery and jim crow and the actions of the early 20th century to prevent huge parts of the population, mainly blacks but also women. so that is something that is really -- there's truth that that is a huge part of our history, and eric holder and others are working on that significant problem now. but i think that the larger issue in terms

weissmann, it's such a complicated picture. none of it i imagine weighs on jack smith, who is sort of what -- and i hate to put too much on him. but what we've been waiting for. right? someone who has a relationship between his mission and the facts and is not going to let any of this noise get in the middle of that that said, he exists in the real world. maybe having come from a posting overseas, he's less steeped in everything that we're all talking about. but you know, again, tying this back to the conversation we started with, it is lisa monaco's job to be aware of the moment and to run the department and to run the case sxtz prosecutions in the moment in which we live, to respond to jim jordan's subpoenas and to be aware of calls to get rid of chris wray what is sort of the balancing act that has to be done to acknowledge the moment but not bend the rule of law to pander to it? >> so i actually think one of the things that's terrific about having a special counsel right now is essentially the bifurcation of those two tasks

"a zillion stories about trump case, but bottom line is that he's getting charged and it will be in d.c. and this week. open issues are whether others may be charged and whether they will be in d.c. or florida." please explain. >> sure. first, it is really typical to see what we are seeing in terms of donald trump's counsel going to the department of justice. we saw the same thing looking at the manhattan d.a.'s office that prosecutors in case like this, where there's no need to nab the defendant because they're in the middle of committing a crime or a violent crime or they're fleeing, they give defense counsel an opportunity to be heard and to m

. >> yeah, you've been listening to andrew weissmann, he's totally right. it's that kind conspiracy where someone's in the center and everybody is joined. as i said, giuliani is everywhere and the willard forms this kind of war room that extends all across january 6th. i think the immediate focus is the electors, and which maybe brings in mike pence. but i want to zero in on this word proffer because it's a term of art that prosecutors know and it illuminates, i think, the false impression that they're trying to make that, you know, it's just rudy has refound religion and is coming in with law enforcement to cooperate. it is proffer session, he comes in with his lawyer. his lawyer says this is what my guy would tell you, and then they turn to giuliani. they can ask him things. they won't use what he says, although if he lies to them, he can be charged, and he gives what he knows in order precisely to try to get better treatment than he expects he's going to get. so he is, yes, walking in of his own two feet, but because he feels the fire at his heels that h

there is very good reason why people like our good friend andrew weissmann are saying that the tape from donald trump discussing a very sensitive military document could be a game-over moment for the ex-president in the classified documents investigation. it's a recording that not only significantly increases trump's legal exposure. but it also blows a gaping hole through many of the defenses that team trump has been peddling in public in the case. the ex-president's lawyer jim trusty went on cnn last night, playing defense in the wake of the bombshell news first reported by cnn of the tape's existence. and repeated a line that will be familiar to anyone who's been following this case. will trump display documents at will or as trump puts it even by just thinking about it. >> what i will tell you is there is no doubt as commander in chief when the president left washington, d.c. for mar-a-lago, he was actually still president, when he left with boxes that he brought he was the command in chief. there's no doubt he had the authority as commander in chief to be classified. it does not have

weissmann in on this. garrett's description and the reporting on the professional camaraderie of jack smith and his team, just gives me a little bit of a stirring feeling of go america. tell me what was going on, you know, as the closest we can get to jack smith at the table, what was going on for the prosecutors today? >> yes, so i thought that was really interesting as well. i was thinking back to the mueller investigation. so i think there are two things that i was -- i think it's worth noting about. one is when alvin bragg was being attacked and people are -- asked me what effect that might have on fani willis or jack smith and i that that was only going to light a fire under jack smith. i don't know fani willis personally, but with jack i thought he would want to stand with him. that he would be running to the fire not away from it. the other thing to look at, and i thought garrett's reporting was interesting was the description of looseness. i remember during the mueller investigation some of the def
