With Trump now indicted for a 4th time, the myth of Trump’s “nine legal lives” is imploding as he faces accountability, @TimOBrien tells @mehdirhasan. He’s in “waters he’s never swam in before.”

In tonight's #handover, @MehdiRHasan and @AymanMSNBC talk about GOP faux outrage over the selection of David Weiss as special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe. It's a "reminder that you can’t please the Republicans ... and so maybe Merrick Garland should just stop trying.”

.@MehdiRHasan warns that the threat of civil war is no longer hyperbole: “Political violence is not something abstract, or something that might happen at some point in the future, it’s happening right now."
