'You're such a liar': Democratic lawmaker snaps on GOP governor over attack on Joe Biden

Tennessee state Rep. Gloria Johnson (D), who along with Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson became the Tennessee Three after they protested gun violence on the state House floor, called out a Republican governor on Sunday.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, who quickly drew tremendous outrage in the wake of a school mass shooting where six people including three young children were shot to death after he said he was “praying for the school, congregation & Nashville community,” without posting any mention of the mass shooting itself, recently chimed in on the California fires.

'Lawless' ​Judge Cannon scorched for Saturday attempt to bail Trump out

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."

'Appearance of a cover-up': Senate Dem raises alarm over missing FBI info on Trump nominee

Multiple Democratic senators are pointing with alarm at what they believe are gaps in information provided by the FBI on one of Donald Trump's most controversial Cabinet nominees.

According to a report from the New York Times, the slim information provided on Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, chosen to be the president-elect's secretary of defense, does not include examinations of information they have been provided directly.

Hegseth is facing a slew of questions over accusations of sexual assault, excessive drinking and financial improprieties while heading up several veterans organizations.

According to the Times, with Hegseth scheduled for a confirmation hearing on Tuesday, Democrats are questioning whether the nominee has received enough scrutiny in the short time allowed.

The Times is reporting, "several Democrats on the panel expressed concerns that they might not have relevant information for Mr. Hegseth’s confirmation hearing on Tuesday," adding, "Democrats on the committee believe there are additional allegations that should appear in the pages of an F.B.I. background check, to inform their questioning. That belief is based in part on information they have gleaned from individuals who have quietly approached Senate offices to divulge information about Mr. Hegseth."

Referring to outside information he has received, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) stated, “Damning is an understatement,” and suggested he feels what he has seen so far gives the "appearance of a cover-up."

Sen Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) also weighed in, pointing out, "I need to see his F.B.I. background check, we need to see his financial disclosures. And we need to know about any other potential lawsuits he might be facing, any other allegations he might be facing.”

The NYT report adds, "F.B.I. officials began calling and interviewing witnesses to Mr. Hegseth’s behavior last month, asking, among other subjects, whether Mr. Hegseth abused alcohol. But it not clear how many witnesses they reached, or how forthcoming those witnesses were."

'Come on!' Ex-FBI lawyer snaps at Merrick Garland for slow-walking Jack Smith report

Former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann called out Attorney General Merrick Garland on MSNBC on Saturday morning for stalling on releasing special counsel Jack Smith's final report on his Donald Trump investigations.

Speaking with the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend," Weissmann stated that the attorney general is wrong to limit the release of the portion of Smith's report having to do with the stolen government documents the president-elect hoarded at his Mar-a-Lago report.

That led to the normally placid Weissmann to blurt out, "Come on!"

"It is not so much Judge [Aileen] Cannon or the 11th Circuit that we have to worry about," he told the hosts. "It is that Merrick Garland has said that he, Merrick Garland, does not want to release that publicly. He only wants to give that to Congress and certain people in Congress. Why? Because he says that there's two co-defendants of Donald Trump, still may have a criminal case pending in Florida. I think he's wrong on that; technically, there is no case pending."

With MSNBC co-hosts Michael Steele and Symone Sanders Townsend interrupting and excitedly asking, "Where's the case?" Weissmann stated, "I think he got something technically wrong when he said there is a pending case."

"Judge Cannon pointedly, when she dismissed the case before her, as to all three defendants not just Donald Trump, she ordered the case closed," he elaborated. "Now, it is true that the Department of Justice is appealing that decision as to the two co-defendants but come on! There's no pending case in the district court per Judge Cannon's own order and everybody knows that on January 20th that that case is never going to go forward."
