Trump’s Justice Dept was not involved in efforts to subvert the 2020 election results. But according to @PostKranish, it would have been had a plan hatched by an obscure DOJ lawyer named Jeffrey Clark succeeded. @MehdiRHasan breaks down the chain of events:

Fmr. AG Barr told the 1/6 cmte. Trump was “detached from reality” pushing the ‘Big Lie’. But Barr has praised his ex-boss since leaving office and said in March he’d vote for him again. Says Mehdi: “Doing the bare minimum and doing it under oath does not make you a hero, sorry.”

In today’s hearing, “Not only was it proved what [Trump] was told, but how many people told him, how often he was told,” @JillWineBanks says of his 2020 loss. His denial of facts could have legal implications, she adds. “Negligence is one thing. Willful ignorance is another.”

Instead of governing, Republicans have begun making plans to investigate Hunter Biden. And 'big tech'. And Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Now, add the Jan. 6 committee to the list. (via

.@kurtbardella: “Let the record show that our national nightmare began with drunk Rudy espousing advice that the president of the United States decided to follow instead of listening to, oh I don’t know, everybody else in the room that was sober and telling him the truth.”

Want to know how Election Night unfolded at the White House? Ivanka Trump, Bill Stepien & Jason Miller all told the Jan. 6 cmte. that there was no path to victory, but an apparently “inebriated” Rudy Giuliani told then-President Trump he should declare victory anyway. WATCH:

How does Fox News compare to state media in authoritarian countries? @AymanM tells @MehdiRHasan there's very little difference. "This is not an independent news organization looking for the truth. It's a propaganda broadcaster doing the bidding of Republican elites."

It's been a hectic few days in American politics... so hectic, in fact, that some didn't realize the Supreme Court gutted the 4th Amendment this week. @MehdiRHasan breaks down Justice Thomas and company's frighteningly authoritarian opinion that's flown under the radar.
