Federal prosecutor concerned he's seeing more fear of MAGA violence than his mafia cases

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said, in passing, that when he was trying cases in Washington, D.C., involving the mafia, he witnessed less security at the courthouse than he did in Fulton County, Georgia and in New York.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace argued that the actions in New York are coming as a result of former Attorney General Bill Barr using Michael Cohen as the scapegoat for Donald Trump. In Georgia, however, she argued, it is something that Attorney General Merrick Garland should have addressed years ago.

Pence could be forced to answer simple questions that are 'incredibly incriminating' for Trump: Nicolle Wallace

Despite his best efforts, former Vice President Mike Pence lost his bid to avoid the grand jury exploring those responsible for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and the attempt to overturn the 2020 election. It prompted a discussion on MSNBC about some of the evidence revealed by the House Select Committee during their 2022 probe.

Host Nicolle Wallace focused on information from the Jan. 6 committee and shared in Pence's autobiography in which he refused to get into a limousine once rushed to a safe location. Pence told his Secret Service lead that he didn't know who was driving the car, implying he didn't trust them.

Legal expert thinks indictment delay is tied to security issues from Trump’s supporters

The New York grand jury will not vote on an indictment this week, according to WNBC's Jonathan Dienst. The group isn't meeting on Wednesday, and when they gather on Thursday, they'll be working on other matters unrelated to former President Donald Trump.

The news made a former New York assistant district attorney speculate that the pause before a Trump indictment could be due to an ongoing concern about violence.

How 'additional charges' may be coming for Trump

Former President Donald Trump is facing a very likely indictment by prosecutors in Manhattan for bookkeeping fraud related to his $130,000 hush payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to prevent 2016 voters from learning about their alleged affair. He also faces serious legal liability from an elections investigation in Georgia and two federal cases being probed by special counsel Jack Smith.

But even with just the Manhattan investigation, there is no guarantee the charges will stop at an accounting misdemeanor. On MSNBC Monday, former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance told anchor Ari Melber that other charges are possible out of that grand jury.

Trump's 'scary' embrace of Jan. 6 rioters called out by The View's Alyssa Farah Griffin

"The View" co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin was alarmed by Donald Trump's enthusiastic public embrace of the jailed Jan. 6 rioters.

The former president stood at attention, hand on heart, as his rally opened with a song called “Justice for All” performed by a choir of jailed insurrectionists and footage from the U.S. Capitol riot played on large screens at the event in Waco, Texas, as the group sang the national anthem and Trump recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

'Dark, scary and stupid': Morning Joe rips Trump's latest praise of dictators

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough slammed Donald Trump for presenting a "dark, scary and stupid" vision for the nation.

The ex-president gave a speech Saturday in Waco, Texas, on the 30th anniversary of the fiery end to the Branch Davidian cult siege, and Trump told his supporters that he was waging a battle against "high-level politicians" such as Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, former House speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and President Joe Biden.

Jan. 6 committee member calls on Republicans to denounce Trump's celebration of political violence

Donald Trump's latest idea to attack those investigating him is by claiming "prosecutorial misconduct." The reality is that something like that happens when a prosecutor breaks the law, not when they annoy a high-profile politician.

"I think, obviously, he appears to be worried that he will be indicted. I don't know if he'll be indicted, but certainly, he engaged in criminal conduct," said Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), who sat on the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 and the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election. "I mean, our committee did criminal referrals. Of course, doing the referral and, you know, being the prosecutors, two different things. They have to make sure that not only do they have probable cause, but I think, given the high profile of the potential defendant, they're going to want to ensure that they have sufficient evidence to convict. So, there's no evidence whatsoever that there's anything improper on the part of the prosecutors. Although, the ex-president certainly tried to weaponize the Department of Justice when he was president."

Former Trump Org. executive thinks Donald is 'enjoying' all of the court battles

Former Trump Org. executive Barbara Res told CNN on Sunday that she thinks that, to some extent, Donald Trump is actually enjoying all of the legal battles that he's experiencing.

Speaking to CNN on Sunday, Res conceded that Trump is likely feeling the pressure from the investigations, "but not the kind of pressure that a normal person would feel. I don't think he's fearing jail or anything like that. He knows that there's a lot going on, and what he's trying to do is make the most of it with his, you know, incitement of violence and is carrying on about the Russian state and things like that. Trying to feed his base and get and get some mileage out of it."

Alex Jones issues a violent prophecy for Donald Trump's future

Fringe conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has continued with his shows despite owing over a billion dollars to the families of Sandy Hook victims after he lost several defamation cases. On Sunday, he issued a violent prophecy while discussing former President Donald Trump's recent rally in Waco, Texas.

"When Trump came out against nuclear war, I still had issues with him," Jones told his audience on Sunday. "But I said he was better than DeSantis. He just went way ahead of DeSantis, and we'll open the phones up. I know a lot of you are pissed at Trump. I've been pissed as well and — but with Trump, it's not a lesser of two evils. You know what you've got, he's got problems, but the deep state really hates him. He did a lot of good stuff. Do we just sit here and let them install somebody else or falsely put Trump in prison? He's really fighting the deep state and they see him as a threat to their power. They see him as a rival."

Fact-checker zings Trump for his Waco flub contradicting himself in the same speech

Among the many lies that Donald Trump told during his Saturday rally in Waco, Texas, was his ongoing claim that he kept his promise to build a wall on the southern border and force Mexico to pay for it. It didn't happen before he left office on Jan. 20, 2021.

CNN's Daniel Dale listed off a few of the lies that Trump told his Texas audience, but the main one was that he both built the wall and somehow still needed to finish the job.

The “city is gone,” said Rolling Fork Mayor Eldridge Walker.
