>>> WE'RE BACK WITH NEWS AND A
REVELATION FROM A LONG TIME
TRUMP ALLY.
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN MO BROOKS
WAS SO IN ON THE STOP THE STEAL
RALLY THAT HE SPOKE ON JANUARY
6th AND THEN HE CROSSED TRUMP
WHETHER HE SAID TO MOVE ON.
AND NOW HE WAS ASKED TO
OVERTHROW THE ELECTION WHICH HE
DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER TO DO AND
WHICH COULD VIOLATE THE
CONSTITUTION AND ALSO VIOLATE CRIMINAL LAW.
CRIMINAL LAW.
TRUMP WAS DEMANDED THIS AS
RECENTLY AS WITHIN THE LAST SIX
MONTHS.
>> DID HE DIRECTLY TELL TO YOU
FIGHT TO DECERTIFY THE ELECTION,
THE 2020 ELECTION.
>> I DID NOT USE THE WORD
RECERTIFY, USED THE WORD
RESCIND.
>> AND REMOVE JOE BIDEN, THROUGH
IMPEACHMENT.
>> THROUGH THE ELECTION RESULTS.
>> DID HE SAY THERE SHOULD BE A
NEW SPECIAL ELECTION FOR THE
PRESIDENCY?
>> IN ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS,
HE MENTIONED HAVING A ELECTION
FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
>> MIA WILEY REJOINS US ON THIS
OTHER TOPIC.
WHAT DO YOU SEE HERE AS THE
EVIDENTIARY VALUE OF THIS.
FORGET WHETHER PEOPLE LIKE MO
BROOKS OR NOT, HE SEEMS CLOSE TO
THE CURB STATE OF MIND OF
REQUESTS THAT WOULD BE
POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL.
>> IT IS VERY VALUABLE BECAUSE
ONE EVER THINGS THAT BOTH
CONGRESS AND THE JANUARY 6th
COMMITTEE IS TRYING TO DISCERN
IS HOW ENGAGED AND INVOLVED WAS
DONALD TRUMP IN THE DECISION
MAKING.
AND WE'VE ALREADY HEARD FROM LIZ
CHENEY THAT THERE IS EVIDENCE
THAT SUGGESTS THAT HE WAS
PARTICIPATING IN A CRIME.
NOW, WHAT MO BROOKS IS
ESSENTIALLY SAYING IS, YEAH, YOU
KNOW, HE ASKED ME TO PART IS
PATE.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES
THESE CASES DIFFICULT IS THAT
PROSECUTORS WOULD HAVE TO PROVE,
SOMETHING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
PROSECUTION, PROSECUTORS WOULD
HAVE TO PROVE THAT DONALD TRUMP
HAD THE INTENT OF DEFRAUDING THE
UNITED STATES.
OR ENGAGING IN AN INSURRECTION.
AND REALLY WHAT MO BROOKS IS
SAYING, YEAH, WELL HE ASKED ME
TO HELP HIM RESCIND THE
ELECTION.
I MEAN, SO THE WORDS WILL MATTER
HERE.
AND IN THE LITTLE BIT I HEARD IN
SOME OF THE EXCHANGES WAS MO
BROOKS TRYING TO WALK A LINE
THAT MAY BE -- I COULDN'T TELL
IF HE WAS TRYING TO HELP MAKE
SURE THAT IT WAS LESS CLEAR HOW
DIRECTLY ENGAGED DONALD TRUMP
WAS IN SAYING, YEAH, INTERFERE
WITH CONGRESS DIRECTLY.
BUT HE SAID RESCIND.
THAT IS A BIG WORD.
ONE THAT A PROSECUTOR WOULD LOOK
AT.
AND I THINK IT MAKES CLEAR THE
SPIRIT WITH WHICH DONALD TRUMP
HAD ENTERED THIS WHICH WE
ALREADY KNOW BECAUSE THERE IS A
HUGE PUBLIC RECORD.
BUT THIS IS ONE MORE PIECE OF
THAT PUZZLE.
ONE MORE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT
GOES TO DONALD TRUMP'S STATE OF
MIND.
AND THAT DOES MATTER.
>> AT WHAT POINT DOES AN
INDIVIDUAL'S ACTIVE AND HEAR
DOCUMENTED EFFORTS TO OVER THROW
AN ELECTION AND SUBVERT
DEMOCRACY BECOME A
DISQUALIFICATION FOR OFFICE IN
OUR DEMOCRACY?
>> WELL, AS YOU KNOW, ARI,
DONALD TRUMP WASN'T IMPEACHED
AND NOT BARRED BY CONGRESS FOR
RUNNING FOR OFFICE.
YOU COULD COMMIT A CRIME AND RUN
TO BE PRESIDENT.
UNDER OUR SYSTEM, THERE IS AN
ASSUMPTION THAT PEOPLE WON'T
VOTE FOR CRIMINALS.
WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE HEARING
THAT WE JUST SAW CONFIRMATION
HEARING FOR JUDGE KETANJI BROWN
JACKSON.
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN UPHOLDING
THE LAW.
WE SAW HER BEING VILIFIED
BECAUSE SHE WAS APPLYING IT IN
AWAY THAT THAT SOME SENATORS
TOOK ISSUE WITH.
DONALD TRUMP, DO WE TAKE ISSUE
WITH THAT?
THAT IS GOING TO BE FOR VOTERS
TO DECIDE IF HE RUNS,
PARTICULARLY REPUBLICANS WHEN
THEY HAVE TO DECIDE WHO THEY'RE
NOMINEE WILL BE.
>> YEAH, IT IS A GREAT POINT YOU
MAKE.
AND BY LINKING THESE TWO
DEVELOPMENTS TODAY, WHAT YOU'RE
REMINDING PEOPLE IS HOW
SERIOUSLY COULD YOU TAKE A
SUPPOSED ANTI-CRIME OUTRAGE AND
ANTI-CRIMINAL OUTRAGE OVER THERE
ABOUT ISSUES THAT ARE SERIOUS,
BUT MIGHT BE USED SELECTIVELY.
WHEN THERE IS THIS COMPLETE
SUPPORT AND COWARDICE IN DEALING
WITH THE ONGOING CRIMINAL
CONSPIRACY TO END AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY.
THAT IS WORTH THINKING THROUGH.
AND YOU SAY, BECAUSE HE WAS NOT
CONVICTED OR DISQUALIFIED IT IS
AN OPEN QUESTION IN OUR
DEMOCRACY.
MIA WILEY, ON MORE THAN ONCE
STORY AND WE OWE YOU THE KEEGAN
