The January 6th Select Committee has released six new subpoenas to some of Donald Trump’s closest aides and allies, including former campaign officials Bill Stepien and Jason Miller. Meanwhile in Atlanta, the DA who has been quietly leading a criminal inquiry into Trump’s alleged election tampering is now expected to convene a special grand jury, according to The New York Times. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber is joined by Obama veteran Neal Katyal to discuss Trump's mounting legal woes.

Garland's "Enviable" Position as Attorney General; The Decision to Prosecute Bannon is an Easy One
In a recent CNN Opinion piece, political commentator Chris Cillizza said that Attorney General Merrick Garland is in an "unenviable" position, and that Garland is concerned about staying "above any allegations of settling political scores for the administration."
This video takes the position that AG Garland is in an entirely enviable position and that by making decision about whether or not to prosecute factoring in a need to avoid (unfounded) criticism of "settling political scores" is, in fact, a decision driven by politics rather than by the evidence.

It’s kinda right. I mean Trump wasn’t flawless but Biden is awful. Just the mess at the border and Afghanistan is enough to impeach him.

My God they act like they burned the place down. So dramatic and for what? It’s just so blown out of proportion. Sure arrest people for trespassing or whatever they did wrong but STFU about it already. It’s like they are obsessed about one fucking day. There were how many riots last year but this one day is the only one they talk about. They act like a bunch of clowns taking over a building for a few hours is somehow going to change the course of things. It’s like Covid and Trump the fucking media can’t stop talking about it.

Border he screwed up to make the 'progressives' happy. Afghanistan, Trump set that up to fail by not allowing many of the aprivals to get the Afghan people out, Biden even pushed back the exit date as compared to what Trump wanted to do. Biden got out on the agreed date Trump negotiated. The only thing that was unforeseen by most was that the Afghans would lay down their arms without a shot when asked to by the Taliban.

Biden let in a bunch of the ones that stormed the planes and didn’t even have connections to the US. We should ship those fuckers back we owe them nothing

Proof please. Many have worked for the US for 10-20 years. If they were not airlifted out then the US would never get the cooperation of a local population ever again.

Trump sure did make a mess of things at our borders. US law clearly states that it is not illegal to apply for asylum and sancturary in the US. Did he end the reasons people need to flee their homes from people or government that would kill them? He did not. So Trump caused the immigration courts to stall. People gathered at the borders and now we have this big mess that could have been avoided. Trump should have followed the law

Nonsense. Look what Biden just brought home, something that man couldn’t, and wouldn’t even if he could. He was too busy with corporate welfare and plans to strip- mine Social Security. That’s almost three trillion dollars for him to start another steal.

Judge rejects Trump's late-night effort to temporarily block release of Jan. 6 records
A federal judge quickly denied a late-night effort from former President Trump on Monday to temporarily block the National Archives from releasing records from his administration to the House Jan. 6 select committee.
Trump's legal team filed the unusual motion as the parties are awaiting a formal ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan ahead of a Friday deadline for the National Archives to begin handing over material that the former president claims is protected by executive privilege.
Chutkan, an Obama appointee, rejected the request shortly after midnight on Tuesday, saying in a brief order that the request was premature and that Trump could ask for a stay if and when she issues a ruling that he would want to appeal.
The judge has yet to rule on Trump's overall effort to block the National Archives from complying with the committee's request, and the latest development does not indicate how she might decide the case.
Trump's lawyers said in a filing Monday night that they intend to file an appeal on Wednesday if Chutkan has not issued a final ruling by then, saying an appeals court's intervention would be necessary with the deadline quickly approaching.
"Absent a court order instructing him not to, the Archivist of the United States intends to comply with the congressional request and release the disputed documents this Friday, November 12, 2021," they said in the filing. "Because of these considerations and because Thursday, November 11, 2021, is Veterans Day, President Trump requests a ruling from this Court on his Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and, if applicable, this motion no later than Wednesday, November 10, 2021. Should no order be issued by that time, the Plaintiff will interpret the Court’s silence as a refusal and take his appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit."
The judge, who has said she plans to rule "expeditiously," last week appeared skeptical of Trump's lawsuit seeking to block the committee's expansive records request probing the previous White House's handling of the attack on the Capitol and its actions in the wake of the 2020 election.
"Are you really saying that the president's notes, talking points, telephone conversations on Jan. 6, for example, have no relation to the matter on which Congress is considering legislation?" Chutkan asked Trump's lawyer during a hearing last week. "The January riots happened in the Capitol; that is literally Congress's house."

Wow. Trump has used the slow court process to his advantage his whole life. Now he expects them to move fast?
