Description

Today - Glenn evaluates why the FBI and the DOJ resisted opening an investigation into Donald Trump's role in the January 6th insurrection. A Washington Post report claims the DOJ shut down the requests of career prosecutors who were asking to open a probe into Trump's involvement in the Capitol riots. According to the report, it was due to a lack of evidence but was it more about appearing partisan? Then, when Trump announced he was running for office again, A.G. Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith and the floodgates finally opened.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
