'Rudy Giuliani needs to be concerned' about Trump’s 'clown car' lawyers: Adam Schiff



During Tuesday's episode of MSNBC's The ReidOut, United States Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) shared his thoughts on ex-President Donald Trump's former lawyers pleading guilty in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' case against them over their efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election."

"Now two of the three of the members of the supposed strike force, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, have pleaded guilty," Reid said. "For Donald Trump, this does seem pretty dire."

Schiff replied, "It does. you know, these are basically, I think they were referred to by the White House counsel lawyers as the clown car lawyers. You know, the team — there was team normal and then team clown car. These were members of the clown car along with [ex-Trump lawyer Rudy] Giuliani. I think both Donald Trump needs to be worried about them providing state's evidence, but also Rudy Giuliani needs to be concerned. These were a couple of his right-hand people. And you know, it's all cumulative. You can use them to corroborate documentary evidence. You can use them to set the time and place of other meetings. They'll provide insights you can't get from others. So it's just adding to the body of evidence. And for those who wondered why is the Fulton County DA indicting 19 people in the same indictment — you can't possibly try a case with 19 people. Well, you can't, she doesn't have to anymore. Every day, every week, more people are pleading guilty. And they're going to be taken out of the trial and be added to the stable of witnesses."

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to hold office again?

Reid said, "Absolutely. Let me read a little of this reporting [from ABC] on whether Trump acknowledged that he lost. This is important to his defense. While speaking with investigators, Meadows was specifically asked if Trump ever acknowledged to him that he lost the election. Meadows told investigators he never heard Trump say that, according to sources. What do you make of that?"

The California congressman answered, "Well, I think in that reporting, as well, there is an acknowledgment by Trump when the Supreme Court rules against him, 'Well, that's it. I'm done.' But he wasn't done. But he went on to challenge the election in other ways. And this is what you get with Mark Meadows. You're gonna get kind of a little bit on this side, a little on that side, that is sort of how he conducted affairs in the White House. Telling each different group that appeared what they wanted to hear. And I think we're seeing more of this in the reporting about his testimony before the grand jury. But it's very characteristic of who he is, and that is, you know, quite chameleon like, which does make him challenging as a witness. Not without value, potentially with significant value, but certainly not problem-free either."

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5

'It is his aphrodisiac': Ex-RNC chair explains how gag order 'stimulates' Trump and his base

Image
As President Donald Trump faces gag orders in two separate cases — one from Judge Arthur Engoron presiding over his New York civil fraud trial, and the other from Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will preside of his Washington, DC January 6 trial in March — some experts expect him to violate the orders soon. With a history of threatening and verbally attacking others, MSNBC's Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday pointed to the fact the ex-president's rhetoric influenced January 6 rioters who chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!" Noting Trump "gets deeply stimulated and excited by the violence," Wallace asked analyst and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele what he thinks the MAGA hopeful's "calculation is on whether violating these gag orders lands him in jail is a good thing or bad thing for him." POLL : Should Trump be allowed to hold office again? Steele replied, "You put your finger on two very important words t
