>>> WHO ACTUALLY RUNS THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY?
I AM NOT ASKING RHETORICALLY,
THE GOP IS OUT OF POWER IN
CONGRESS.
McCONNELL IS THE PERSON CHOSEN
TO LEAD THE PARTY.
McCARTHY PREPARING A STAFF THIS
JANUARY 6th COMMISSION FOR AN
INVESTIGATION, HES TAKING A
TRIP THAT SUGGESTS WHO REALLY
RUNS THE PARTY RIGHT NOW.
McCARTHY HEADED TO TRUMPS
PRIVATE GOLF CLUB TODAY,
DOUBLING DOWN ON HIS OWN REVERSAL.
REVERSAL. NOW HES BEEN WORKING FEVERISHLY
NOW HES BEEN WORKING FEVERISHLY
TO GET TRUMP COVERED.
THE DAY OF THE ATTACK, TRUMP DID
NOT EXPRESS IF PENCE WAS OKAY.
THE MILITARY, NOT OUTSIDE CRITICS OR OBSERVERS CONCERNED
CRITICS OR OBSERVERS CONCERNED
WHETHER TRUMP WAS LEADING A
COUP.
SOME OF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR.
IT MAY SOUND FAMILIAR BECAUSE
THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO REPORTED
ON THOSE SUSPICIOUS MOVES AT THE
TIME AND RAISED SOME OF THESE
CONCERNING QUESTIONS, THE KIND
OF QUESTION MOST PEOPLE NEVER
WANT TO RAISE ABOUT THEIR
COUNTRY.
WHATS NEW IS THE MILITARY
SOURCES AND IT STARTS BACK IN
DECEMBER AND NBCS RAY CHAPEL
HILL RACHE RACHEL
MADDOW WAS ALL OVER THIS.
WE HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHAT
TRUMP HAD BEEN UP TO AS WHAT
HES DOING IN THE DEFENSE
DEPARTMENT.
IT HAS BEEN UNSETTLING OF WHAT
WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THEM DOING.
THE POINT OF IT HAD NOT BEEN
CLEAR.
>> OR AT LEAST NOT CLEAR IN THE
JOURNALIST SENSE THAT YOU
CAREFULLY REPORT WHATS
HAPPENING BEFORE YOU ADD ON WHY
IT IS HAPPENING.
WHY WAS IT HAPPENING?
OFFICIALS WERE CONCERNED THAT IT
WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF AN
ELICIT PLOT MAY MATERIALIZE IF
TRUMP CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.
OUR CHIEF OF STAFF MARK MILLIE
LOOKED AT THIS SCENARIO WHERE
TRUMP TRYING TO GAIN SWAY OVER
THE ALPHABET SOUP.
HE WARNED HIS OWN TEAM THAT TRUMP WAS SOAKING ON THE HOPES
TRUMP WAS SOAKING ON THE HOPES
OF EXCUSE TO THE INSURRECTION
ACT. DAYS BEFORE JANUARY 6th, MILLEY
DAYS BEFORE JANUARY 6th, MILLEY
ALSO TOLD "THIS IS A REICHSTAG
MOMENT."
TRUMP PRIVATELY CLAIMING "WELL,
HITLER DID A LOT OF GOOD
THINGS."
HIS STAFF SAYING "YOU CANT SAY
ANYTHING SUPPORTIVE OF HITLER,
YOU JUST CANT."
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?
TRUMP DENIES ALL OF THESE
REPORTS.
FORMER GENERAL MILLEY DECLINED
THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT.
IN THE END THERE IS NO PUBLIC
REPORT THAT DONALD TRUMP TRIED
TO ORDER THE MILITARY TO STAGE A
COUP, WHICH IS TO SAY THAT A LOT
OF PEOPLE INSIDE WORRIED THAT HE
WOULD AND HE WAS TAKING STEPS TO
DO AND WHATEVER REASONS
SELF-INTERESTS OR OTHERWISE, HE
DIDNT GET TO THE POINT TO PULL
IT OFF.
HIS RESISTANCE IS WELL
DOCUMENTED THAT PEOPLE WILL GO TO JAIL TO IT.
TO JAIL TO IT.
