Trump's Legal Hellscape: DOJ Vet On Busting Jan. 6 Subpoena Delay Tactic

As Donald Trump ignores the Jan. 6 committee’s subpoena deadline and indicates in a lawsuit he has no intention to testify, DOJ veteran Neal Katyal joins MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber on what he calls Trump’s “delay motion.” Katyal arguing the Senate should make “immediate emergency plans to take over this investigation” as it looks like the House will change leadership, adding: “The truth has not been told.”

Trump's Legal Hellscape: DOJ Vet On Busting Jan. 6 Subpoena Delay Tactic

[leslieseitz]

I'm so sick of him getting away with everything. Throw him in

[happyngrateful]

Do not pass go, and do not collect $200. Go directly to jail!

[michaelmaher]

I thought he wanted to testify. Did he lie? I'm shocked.

[glentorn]

Treason has consequences.
Precedent demands accountability.
No one is above the law.

[JC-tplz]

I'm 76 years old...soon to be 77...and I can't think of any person that I have despised more in my lifetime, than Donald J. Trump!

[paulkearney]

Finally folks we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Now it's time to throw the con man instigator in prison..🇺🇸

[makingmovesvips]

I love the idea of the Senate taking it on!! We just want it finished and all held accountable if possible.

[toddnielsen]

Love Katyal's idea to "pass the Justice mallet" to the Senate to keep the heat on the Scamburglar

[sumterscrentals]

It is a sigh of relief that we still have a majority of "reasonable" citizens in this country to vote out the "crazies". These midterms tell the story.

[sueferguson]

Neal is correct....move it to the Senate ASAP!!!

[kevinskiles]

Why doesn't Neal just tell us how many times Trump can keep appealing. Is it endless? If so, equal justice doesn't exist in this country.

[denisebrown]

Lock him up! who do people think he is?

[katushawatkins]

I always love seeing these two gorgeous, intelligent men together. ALWAYS.

[coastalseasider]

Bless you, Neal for bringing up that the Senate could take over the work of the J6 Committee!! Gives us *some* ray of hope if the terrific work of the House gets zapped because of the R disgraces. Enough already!

[boblister]

Honest or innocent people don't avoid subpoenas. Shows where you stand Donny

[JamesSmith-rhis]

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that life in America for the American people is actually better without Trump in the White House anymore.

[lillyfitzgerald]

Trump is clearly guilty, guilty, guilty. He keeps telling people how guilty he is by his actions. What a fool. But, what is sad is that the judicial system enables him to do it. It emboldens him.

[sethabel]

There are two justice systems. One for the rich and one for everyone else.

[nativetexan]

Here's an idea. Go ahead and arrest him for the crimes that he is guilty of. That will force him to be tried and appear in court. When he is found guilty of the other crimes he has committed, he would already be in custody and there will be no way out. Leave him free and he will keep dodging hearings and justice and will easily be able to flee when they go after him. Play hardball with this creep.

[spir]

Trump has already turned it into a circus.
