Laurence Tribe: Jan. 6 Insurrection Was 'Plan B' For Overthrowing 2020 Election - The Last Word MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Constitutional Scholar Laurence Tribe joins MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell to react to Attorney General Merrick Garland’s investigation into the January 6th insurrection. Tribe says the DOJ is focusing too much on January 6th and not enough on the larger plot to overturn the election by coercing state officials to manipulate the results. “The scary thing,” Tribe says, “is there is simply no indication that the department of justice is investigating that broader plot. I hope to heaven that it is, but there’s no indication of it.” Aired on 01/05/2022.

2. Not sure I agree with Tribe here, his interpretation of MG's statement and intention.

Glad you posted.

3. I found it especially interesting that both Adam Schiff and Merrick Garland were his students!

And he's still grading them! I agree, he's recommending how to proceed...

6. and tho he's smart, 'recommending how to proceed' not exactly in his wheelhouse, eh?

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Well, he just said who he agreed with more...

And it's pretty amazing that these two top policymakers were both his students!

8. which is why I suspect 'misunderstandings' are at play here.

JUST heard Glenn Kirschner say Garland 'more forward-looking than he expected.'

Trying to understand.

10. I always listen closely when prof. Tribe speaks..this time, not so much

He doesn’t know that MG isn’t investigating those issues. Besides, there are pending charges in GA. Maybe he wants to see how that plays out first

11. Remember when we all hung our hats on Robert Mueller?
