that call to brad raffensperger and other forms of pressure trump and the trump white house put on other georgia officials, that pressure is already the subject of a criminal investigation in georgia. it's being carried out by fulton county's prosecutor. among other things to know about that criminal investigation, my favorite fact about it is that faunae willis has hired an experienced rico prosecutor to help lead that investigation into that pressure on georgia elections officials. rico is the statute they use against organized crime, so hey, stick that in your stocking and call it christmas. but we don't know the timeline for that criminal investigation in georgia. we did learn something today, though. today, i mean, if brad raffensperger had more than four hours in the chair in the investigation on capitol hill, it does seem clear the georgia state criminal investigation of those matters is not stopping the congressional investigation from also covering that same territory. sometimes, when you know there's an ongoing criminal proceeding, an ongoing criminal investigation, congression

that's why those texts are coming into meadows who's with trump. everyone agrees. not trump. maybe not meadows. we don't know. trump delayed. he delayed and delayed. saying anything on january six. hence, the barrage of messages. and he finally released a video calling the insurrectionists very special, saying he loved them. now, after these text came out, the right has a hilarious moraly backward scandal on its hands. because this new evidence revealed by liz cheney right last night shows that a bunch of them had the correct moral, not to mention pr instinct in the moment that the insurrection was bad and dangerous and must be stopped. but of course, that deviates from the official party line that they have been repeating for almost a year. so not only does this humiliating episode revealed that they have been lying directly to their viewers, which is not that surprising, but still amazing to see so concretely. but they also cannot even talk about this good thing that they did. it's hard to figure out how to take a victory lap. i'm sure that they will try to do it tonight. o

president trump says the election was stolen and he is right. >> i think trump won. um, i think michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, georgia, all of those states need to be fully investigated and none of them have. >> david, what do you make of that? >> well, first of all, let's be clear. running on the idea that you refuse to accept a legitimate election result should be disqualifying for office. but inside a republican primary in today's republican party, which is dominated by donald trump where a majority of republicans say they believe trump's big lie, it actually may be a credential. and there is no doubt, the two guys you just played there clearly trying to curry favor with the president. now, it's not clear the former president is going to get involved and make an endorsement in that ohio republican senate primary. but it is the kind of race where he can prove, to some degree, that he still has clout in the party potentially. and -- and that's his whole mission here. either, he wants political retribution, like, hey, lisa murkowski's the only senator up for elec

to me the larger story here is you mentioned trump, marjorie taylor greene has the ear of donald trump. so do people like lauren boebert. what does that mean? trump wants revenge and retribution for the fact he continues to say the false claims that the election was stolen. marjorie taylor greene and all of these people believe that as well. so they want to see mccarthy, if he wins the speakership and they win the majority, they wasn't to see him take action on this. to also an example of how not fringe this is is scott perry, congressman from pennsylvania, recently became the head of the freedom caucus. scott perry is now -- could potentially be wais for the january 6th insurrection because of the fact he was pushing doj officials to overturn election results, trying to recruit them and was a part of a lot of the meeting that's led to january 6th. >> and you're talking about republicans, very few speaking out, moderates. here's one from swing district, don bacon. here's what he said to me last week -- >> we should not be shooting ourselves in the foot with infighting. we're trying to

he committed crimes for donald trump but unlike donald trump and the people who violated their oaths and committed crimes for donald trump, today gary wickersham did something donald trump has never done and will never do. gary wickersham admitted what he did on that dark day in our nation's history. donald trump will never admit what he did on that day. gary wickersham admitted what he did was a crime and he agreed to pay the price for that crime. we know now that donald trump will never admit what he did but we don't yet know if donald trump will ever have to pay the price of being as gary wickersham now is a convicted criminal. leading off our discussion tonight is steve schmidt, co-founder of the lincoln project. steve, we have an 81-year-old defendant sentenced today. the oldest person known to be charged among the close to 700 charged. while donald trump and jeffrey clark and congressman perry and mark meadows and others continue to try to evade any answers to any questions about what they did. >> i was struck by the picture of gary wickersham wearing a red hat with airborne pa
