Former Republican National Committee chair and current MSNBC host Michael Steele used a segment on Judge Aileen Cannon's latest attempt to run interference for Donald Trump to veer off and lash out at Attorney General Merrick Garland for how he has run the DOJ which conducted multiple investigations of Donald Trump that have all been for naught.

With the DOJ forced to drop multiple investigations of Trump involving the Jan. 6 insurrection and stolen government documents being hoarded at Mar-a-Lago, Garland has received considerable criticism for dragging his feet until it was too late –– allowing the president-elect to avoid going to trial.

After criticizing Cannon for being "a stain on the entire judiciary," Steele turned his ire on Garland.

"I'm of the view I don't care how you release it, just get the damn thing [Jack Smith report] released because we have we have nickel and dimed around this. Merrick Garland has been wholly useless in this process, completely useless," he ranted to ex-prosecutor Kristy Greenberg. "The most timid person at Justice, period, in the history of the organization."

"Even in this hour, in the face of everything else, knowing what happens on January 20th: 'Well, I don't know if we should put this out because something may come," the MSNBC host mimicked the AG.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed that President-elect Donald Trump lost interest in making Canada the 51st state when he suggested trading parts of the country for Vermont or California.

During a Sunday interview with MSNBC, Trudeau recalled a recent conversation with Trump.

During an appearance on MSNBC "The Weekend," legal analyst and former SDNY prosecutor Kristy Greenberg reported that District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon once again tried to throw Donald Trump a lifeline late Saturday with another demand for the Department of Justice in an effort to keep a damaging Jack Smith report from being released.

Speaking with the hosts on MSNBC, Greenberg expressed exasperation with the Trump-appointed jurist and, along with the hosts, ripped into her with the prosecutor labeling her an attention seeker, and MSNBC's Michael Steele calling her "in the tank" for the man who handed her a lifetime appointment.

"So what is she doing?" Greenberg asked rhetorically. "She's doing what she needs to do like she's like a real housewife who got the assignment. She's trying to create a storyline for herself for this week, to be able to create drama, to be able to make sure to punt this until he [Trump] can come in and try and bury it –– hopefully the 11th circuit stops it."

"Just yesterday she ordered DOJ to say, 'Tell me more about why the January 6th report has nothing to do with these defendants," she explained. "About half an hour ago, DOJ said, 'Has nothing to do with these defendants, and you don't have jurisdiction.'"

Asked about Cannon's future, the former prosecutor stated, "At least right now, there isn't anything at the end of the road for her because she's very useful to Donald Trump exactly where she is –– you know, where Mar-a-Lago is. She's pretty much the only game in town. The cases generally get wheeled out to her, there aren't that many other judges in that division, so I think for right now she will be where she is."

"I mean, again, I hate to say that about a judge, but we have seen this movie time and time again from her, where every time she goes wildly outside of the law," she added. "I mean, her rulings are lawless. She has defied 150 years of precedent in saying that the special counsel was improperly appointed. I mean all of her rulings in this case were so outside the bounds of law and always in Donald Trump's favor so at some point, you need to call a spade a spade and you need to say something else is afoot here."

Co-host Steele added, "She's in the tank and she has been from day one and it's unfortunate because she is a stain on the entire judiciary. She's not credible in the role that she plays, and it's unfortunate that we find ourselves subject to this neophyte judge who doesn't even know the rules of precedent and procedure. And so from, from that standpoint, I'm of the view I don't care how you release it, just get the damn thing released. because we have we have nickle and dimed around this. [Attorney General] Merrick Garland has been wholly useless in this process."
