In a new piece published by Slate, the question is asked, "Why Hasn't Trump Been Indicted Yet?" The article goes on to discuss five possible reasons why state and federal prosecutors have not yet brought charges against former president Donald Trump. This video discusses these five possibilities and lands on the most likely of the five.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution just broke a story about the progress and timing of the grand jury investigation into Donald Trump's Georgia state election crimes. In another development, the New York Times reported about the ongoing efforts of attorney John Eastman and others to overturn the results of the 2020 prestidential election, even AFTER a federal judge ruled it is "more likely than not" that Trump and Eastman were members of a criminal conspiracy to overturn the election's results. This raises a fundamental question: how can Eastman and others continue their corrupt efforts even after their earlier crimes have been exposed? The only answer is that the lack of accountability for past crimes encourages them to commit future crimes. This video discusses the balance that prosecutors must strike between investigating cases fully and thoroughly and arresting/indicting people to deter future crime, protect society and preserve our democracy.
New texts revealed in the investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection show militia leaders trying to connect with former Trump doctor and Republican Congressman Ronny Jackson. Meanwhile, Trump’s former lawyer is hiding more than 37,000 pages of Trump-related emails from the Jan. 6 committee, asserting attorney-client privilege. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the latest in the investigation.
Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell privately attempted to oust former President Donald Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection and then recanted, according to New York Times reporters.

ABC News reports that Donald Trump Jr. has agreed to be interviewed by House select committee investigators. Here are the danger zones for Jr. and why his attorney will likely advise him to invoke his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination on at least some of the questions. In other developments, The New York Times reported that Alex Jones has approached federal prosecutors offering to be interviewed by them but only if theDepartment of Justice grants him immunity from prosecution. Ironically, Jones's attorney says Jones has done nothing wrong - committed no crime - so his demand for immunity is . . . curious. With these latest developments it feels a bit like the rats are abandoning ship and hoping to land in a lifeboat. Given the conduct of Don Jr. and Alex Jones, it seems they are far more likely to land in an indictment.
Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of former President Trump, is expected to voluntarily meet with the Jan. 6 committee in the coming days.
New audio tapes reveal House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said Trump was responsible for leading an indefensible insurrection, and openly mulled his removal from office, conviction by the Senate, and possible pursuit of a pardon -- revealing McCarthy's assumption that Trump had criminal liability. The tapes, revealed by New York Times reporters and aired on MSNBC, prove McCarthy repeatedly lied about his actions and later reversal as he sought Trump's support. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the proof that McCarthy "is a liar," and discusses the news with NYU Law Professor Melissa Murray and The Bulwark’s Editor-at-large, Bill Kristol.

Ari Melber reports on the new evidence and is joined by Former Solicitor General Neal Katyal who calls on Attorney General Garland to act immediately.
After the mob breached the building on Jan. 6, the Secret Service hustled Mike Pence out. They wanted to take him away from the Capitol, but he refused to go. Why didn’t he want to go?
Trumpists are not going to be "deprogrammed" (latest favourite word of the False Left). There will not be peace in the US until they are exterminated.
J.D. Vance won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Ohio on Tuesday, emerging from a crowded field with the help of a late endorsement from former President Trump to win with roughly a third of the total vote....Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel jumpstarted Vance’s candidacy and kept it afloat with $13.5 million in funding through a super PAC....Mandel was aggressive in both seeking Trump’s endorsement and in repeating the former president’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, despite the thorough debunking of all such claims. Mandel also had robust support from the Club for Growth, a pro-business advocacy group that spent more than $7 million promoting him and running negative ads against his rivals, and the endorsement of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz....Dolan, meanwhile, was the only Republican to firmly reject Trump’s 2020 election lies.
