After his federal indictment, a few GOP primary opponents have taken their first — and very gentle — swings at Trump’s handling of classified documents, while many others have defended him. Laura Jarrett and Danny Cevallos break down developments in the other Trump investigations. For the first time since March of last year, the Federal Reserve paused interest rate hikes but suggested that rates would rise more in 2023. Michael Allen, former Senior Director at the National Security Council in the Bush Administration, discusses Secretary of State Blinken’s long-awaited trip to Beijing.

Wouldn’t it be better if DOJ went through the J6 hearings first to challenge a possible pocket pardon to end his attempts in running for office just for that very reason? We might as well get through that arguious task to know if a President can really self pardon. If the courts find that he can’t, he’ll be dead in the water. That would be such a beautiful thing to see yet, on the other hand, quite disturbing if he is allowed to do so. Just get it over with!!!
The president has no ability to self pardon, according to the laws in the books now..
Someone who has a pair should take care of the problem!
prop·a·gan·da
noun
1.
information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.
Jail
But a jerky …. It’s so disturbing to watch this guy going on stage and insult the justice department displaying no respect for the rule of laws of our CONTRY,..it’s disgusting.. it also goes for the other goats kissing his “you know what”
Cuba could be a base from which to launch balloons or drones or more…
China should put a military base there 😅😆🤣😄😀just like Tiawan🙉🙊🙈
😅😆🤣😄$400,000 for one missile to shoot down balloons from the hardware store😀😀😀but don’t worry the USA is selling the F35 to Germany 😆🤣😄the F35 that can’t fly 😛
A fly can’t move on Cuba without our country seeing it..
Donny is running to save himself from Jail
Not to save us.
The huge difference is Trump was president and Biden was not when he took those classified documents but it’s never brought up….
You are comparing Apples to Bowling Balls and are not well read on this subject if you truly believe that.
@Rick Starling Well read on what? Biden took classified docs when he was a senator and vice president. So he never had the authority to declassify any of it…
so hillary has a server in her house collecting 1000’s of documents many of which were TOP SECRET🙈🙊🙉 and destroyed 30,000😀????
😄TRUMPED UP CHARGES🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please dont interview this Marco R we dont need latinos like him ungreaful to our country
Mitch, I thought you were the Grim Reaper, now what? No comment?
Pence you christian please dont lied and you r our hero cuz youstand up on january the infamously attack to our Democracy u know Mrs Clinton didn’t do this kind of mistake
All of these candidates, sucks and cant win aganist Trump.
Now, the justice department is doing their job. Crime is crime doesn’t matter whom is commiting the crime, we all want justice.
Aileen Cannon is a MAGA Crazy, she will keep doing Trump’s bid, she has pledge loyalty to him and she will defend him even if that means her ruling over the Constitution to defend him.
He is wrong no body of those deserv to be president they defending wrong behavior
Historic classified documents all through his house and in his bathroom are you kidding and this man should be president I don’t think he’s thinking straight I think he needs some psychiatric help
He has needed it for years. He’s a real sick punk!
And the same for his cult followers
THEY HATE TRUMP BECAUSE HE WON’T SUPPORT ENDLESS WARS🙈🙊🙉this is how ‘our’ corrupt corporate owned politicians make their money😆20 year war in Afghanistan😛now the Biden/McConnell slaughter slush fund in ukraine 🙈🙊🙉
Trump is the REAL CRIMINAL here
Wow! The former President Donald Trump supporters has no ideas how dangerous the former President Donald Trump is. If he becomes US President again, this great nation may not be recognized over all.
Chuck’s departure can’t come soon enough. Also get rid of Hillyard while you are at it, Gaslighters.
You obviously struggle with the truth and facts and prefer a world of “alternative facts”.
@Rick Starling No I didn’t vote for Biden, sorry.
Make sure he get well taken care of with his dementia
Go tell mr smith in his face he lied this man do not deserv to be in the government is disres😢 politicians to tell liar to those prosecutors and investigator
Hmmm, over 1 million dead from COVID and they are wondering why we can’t fill vacancies in the work place.
Those positions were the ones that came into contact with the public during COVID.
Yeah, thanks Trump.
No matter which republican wins the primary, if any one of them gets into office, Trump will be pardoned!
The GOP either supports Trump or risks him running as an independent.
Either way the GOP will lose the WH.
It is a Catch 22 that happens when you continue to support a traitor like Trump.
Nope Biden was vice president Biden will be toast
Trump indicted more than elected 👎🤪😜.
Vote blue! 💙💙💙💙💙
Chucky the weasel todd
Ya and if biden didn’t have that pesky taking docs while VP and the crime family dealings
Haha Haha Haha inflation hasn’t changed any bit at all its the news media that is guilty of lieing
All records president trump can take period just bring up Bill Clinton….oh and the other cases will be after the federal case you were told this already
Omg that clip reminds me of how much I love Bernie! Still feeling the Bern! ❤
From an ex-Weather,You go girl!
Pence reflecting back to the Hillary Clinton investigation is a deflection of guilt and blame away from what Trump has done and is accused of. Similarly, Nikki Haley redirects the severity of Trumps criminal actions by generalizing and assuming that American’s have no faith in the D.O.J. and the F.B.I.. These are both tactics that the Republicans use in order to garner support from simple-minded malleable individuals who can’t logically filter out bull manure from fact.
He is a little s***! Isn’t it always that way with sick Repos’! I just can’t figure out why they let Fux Entertainment lets him spew his lies . isn’t that against the law? Why isn’t lying to get violence against the law. The terrible Repos’ did it and do it can’t good real Americans take down the Repos’ illegal punks. Everyday they are there our country is hurt if only because everyone else in the world knows what they are and what they are doing! Nobody in the world can figure out why we let traitors like that walk around free when they themselves say they are terrorists! Not even Putin though he is taking everything trumpy dumpty gave him. And we know he gave secrets to Russia. That’s why I can’t figure out why we let traitors like Repos’ do this!
Seems like the GOP is the party of liars.
In 2014, President Barack Obama stopped all funding for “gain of function research” on viruses which makes viruses or infectious.
In 2017, President Trump lifted the ban. Under Trump American taxpayers paid to make viruses or infectious resulting in the production of the Covid virus in the Wuhan lab in 2019. Thank you, Mr. Trump for the deaths of millions of people and for Covid severe impact on the US and world economy. In the fall of 2019, the first two known Covid cases were two Chinese scientist working in the Wuhan lab in China. “A few months later on January 24 Trump wrote on Twitter “China has been working very hard to contain the coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciate their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular on behalf of the American people, I want to thank President Xi!” No, Mr. Trump it did not all work out well. Millions should not have died and American taxpayer is still on the hook for all the damage, Covid, did to our economy, and the money Americans paid to businesses for fraudulent PPP loans that were forgiven. Trump was also wrong about President Xi. President Xi has never been transparent about Covid, and still refuses to allow anyone to look at the records in the Wuhan lab.
On Feb. 10, Fox Business interview, Trump said:
“I think China is very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control,” Trump said. “I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon. You know in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And that’s a beautiful date to look forward to.” Wrong again Trump. Covid didn’t die out in April, It was just getting started. For months Trump praised China on Twitter and outlets like Fox News. Thank God most of the American people stop being fooled by Trump and voted not to give him another term as President.
you guys are totally missing the point.
trump is going to be trump. thats it! this is all to make you feel better somehow.
who the heck cares?
the larger point is that he has put our nation in grave peril with his carelessness with these documents.
he has probably sold some at this point and/or has held them over some foriegn leaders head to get something.
our allies will not trust us for decades.
if any republican gains the presidency they will pardon trump and just continue on with his ways.
we are at a real tipping point and you guys are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Chuck Todd the way you gloss over things is so shallow and i miss Tim Russert every time i see you.
According to some farmers there are lower crop yields this year due to climate change that’s causing prices of food to go up too. It’s not just ecomic inflation.
When the GOP support trumpy , they do puty’s Bidding
Rubio and McCarthy support trumpy incredible malfeasance regarding our most important secrets show they have no business holding office
This is not inflation. It is price gouging. True inflation is when the cost to manufacturer and the cost to consumer go up the same due to supply problems. What doesn’t go up? Profit margine.
Great final segment & interview! ❤
Trump never come my house never
It wasn’t a bathroom. It was a secure classified records retention room that happened to have a toilet and a sink.
What about the other one that had a scanner/copier/printer in it?
WHY did Jared Kushner get a $2 BILLION dollar “loan” from the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia 6 months Donald left the White House?
better then a garage
nd china town
also fool that place is secured by secret service fool
@melben gonzales Than*
All senators, judges, house representatives supporting Donald Trump should be removed from office. Supporting this traitor for years is just unspeakably immoral.
Take names & vote blue.
Attempted Coup rings the Bell . Coup in a sense is ongoing
Hilery did not do the samw thing, what Hillary was doing was what others were doing. What Trump did is not what any others have done besides Nixon.
Travis Tritt
@Travis Tritt
This indictment of Trump by Biden’s DOJ is the exact same thing that Zelensky did to his political
opponents in Ukraine. Obviously, this tactic of using the government to silence political opponents has become the playbook of the modern Democrat Party. This is tyranny at the highest level.
Trump has a lock down on the GOP nomination. But what makes people think the general election will be any different than the last? What is Trump now going to get more of the middle(independents, nonpartisants) now than last time? No. Likely less.
Love seeing the stress on your face about the possibility of Trump getting back in office 😂😂
Im team christie and im a democrat
I lived in nj under christie when obsma was hurricane ssndy. They had a moment in a democratic state
It is mess gonna be under water
Lock him up
No refering to trump😊
Lock trump up
Why are they so afraid of him?
OF COURSE they will DELAY as long as possible.
Spanish has been the first language in Miami for SEVERAL DECADES.
Ali is the “YEAH” queen.
Liz Cheney needs to run on the Independent Ticket. She could get enough votes from both parties plus Independents to win the presidency.
So the black guy, saying that you cant walk around in Morronlago, is lying. Remember how many spies already were found there?
Still a slave mentality. hahahahahahahaha
Judge Cannon should recuse herself. We the People should demand it. She has no doubt prejudice for Trump and she has no doubt shown it.
The presiding judge has control over the pre-trial rulings, control over the evidence that can be admitted at trial, jury instructions, and the sentencing should Trump be found guilty.
In no way do I see the Trump Judge giving Trump a term of imprisonment as every other American Citizen would receive under any sentencing guidelines.
Trump crime company
Pence? TOTAL B$.
Hillary?
IT WAS NOT ILLEGAL TO USE A PRIVATE SERVER THEN, it is illegal NOW. Laws.have to catch up with technology, they cannot “anticipate” .
One of the rooms that had BOXES of stolen documents had a scanner/ copier/printer in it, you can see it in the picture.
WHY did Jared Kushner, get a
$2 BILLION dollar “LOAN” from the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, 6 months after Trump left the White House???
“a bathroom locks” from the inside.
Mitch McConnell?
I reached 65 last October, one of the EXTREMELY rare times in my life that I have totally agreed with him. He actually said that there were going to be MAJOR problems in the House of Representatives for the next 2 years. It’s NOT because Republicans took it back, it’s because of WHO they elected to do it.
Like I said, he was right.
I , and a lot of others with me , do not understand that Trump has not been locked up yet , and the key thrown away , of course !
I cannot believe people still don’t understand what Trump IS.
An aspect of our Judicial System that people need to realize, the saga of “Equal Protection Under the Laws” and where it actually is in our Constitution. That section of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment SPECIFICALLY applies to States.
The other side of it?
Tbe United States Supreme Court
Boiling v Sharpe 1954
They rulled that the Due Process clause in the 5th, that specificly applies to the Federal Government, imposses “Equal Protection” requirement on the Federal Government.
The scary part of that one is, because it’s only a Supreme Court decision and after what happened to Roe v Wade, who knows what would happen if it ever came up with our current Supreme Court.
She’ll be gone in short order.
Trump’s bet is to win the 2024 election so that he can dismiss all the cases against him. So his strategy is to delay everything until after the election and corrupt Cannon is going to help him.
FOOLS JUST WON’T STOP!!!
Laws have to catch up with technology, THEY CAN NOT ANTICIPATE!
When Hillary was using a PERSONAL email account and a PERSONAL email server, it was not illegal.
According to that actual investigation, she did not break any laws when that server was wiped clean unless you’re a Republican.
As of 2014, the law was updated, PERSONAL email accounts have to be transferred to the Government Servers within 20 days.
That Law obviously didn’t apply to her because it did not exist, it’s probably the actual reason that they realized that needed to update the Laws so they did.
I don’t care about Wall Street. I care about Main Street. This raising of the rates only hurts every day Americans. There is no reason under the earth to try to slow the economy down .🤬🤬🤬
We need to hold big business accountable. They are breaking in record profits. The reason why there is a shortage in workers is because they will not pay a good wage. We don’t need more immigrants to do cheap labor jobs, we need big business to share a little bit of the pie.🤬🤬🤬
I like your analysis
Imagine if you will that you are a president who is about to lose office but you are being forced to provide Top Secret information to a foreign power that is somehow blackmailing you for this information. How would you go about passing on this information without directly doing that very thing?
Storing it insecurely all over the place at your home mixed with hundreds of pieces of paraphernalia would be perfect to my mind.
I think pence will pardon trump the only one is Chris he won’t he keep
His integrity’ I will go for democrat 😢😂 trump
Don’t have a spot anymore I’m
White House – he is a hoax
Trump needs to
Talk about economy etc he can’t because his brain is empty 🎉
McCarthy is so pathetic.
Chuck? (May I call you Chuck?) I never miss Meet The Press because you are concise, well-educated, personable and charming, asking pertinent questions, rather than clickbait quips and challenges. Your panels are outstanding and your telegenic appeal is first rate.
🫡 🤘
I am so sick and tired of show hosts and talking heads calling Trump president instead of former president. We only have one president at a time and it’s not the Donald.
This particular episode in my opinion demonstrates the breadth and depth of your powers of observation and skills in winnowing things down to their essentials for the sake of dialogue, debate and instruction – one reason many of us will miss you when you transition from “Meet the Press”.
Hillary is not the same as what trump is charged with. People seem to think if they repeat this lie over and over, people will come around an believe it!😢
Trump should go to jail
These people want us Oklahoma people to treat him like a prince I guess and let him get away with it when you know anybody else would be sitting in the penitentiary for at least 30 years because he’s an ex-president Landry run for office kind of sweep it under the carpet and give him a plea deal and if they got the goods on him and they can just say you step down for good and then go after other politician who run in his same stupidity of hurting everyday everyday family across the United States because right now people are working and they are crawling food stamps and that he’s going to make them work some more hours just to prove they’re making trying to make this enough to get the food stamps and turned back on allow babies to go to bed starving loud older people to go to bed while eating without being nurses and then can’t pay for the rent in there electric and utilities older people and single mothers and single fathers and single grandparents and trying to raise their grandkids and they can’t help American family with a check for everybody and those who don’t need it can get always donate it to any donation together attack back moneymake it look like they donated the money 💰 there’s 100,000 good turkeys out there face this like I said they don’t want help nobody but their self
No Pence, Hillary Clinton was sloppy, but not obstructive and unlawful, Trump giving middle finger to all those “sucker”soldiers alive and giving the ultimate sacrifice.
Not even close.
Trump will NEVER give up his cult. If DeSantis wins the nomination 2 to 1, Trump will NEVER tell his 1/3 to support the nominee.
It’s Trump v Biden. See you at the polls to vote blue.
Fight for the soul of our nation.
Sittin’ on the “can” reading documents, this guy would have made Churchill proud…
Journalists already know that millions of people are blind followers of someone who is lying. Isn’t it more important to discover the nature of these followers rather than their leader?
We thing be right take study out and in america be cleaver start new what the would need to survive all homanity life normal
Think you
Friend thing about who is no go hop and feel all the month between friend”s?
I always admired chuck as a
“Journalist “, until he came down w
TDS , and subsequent capitulation to the corrupt regime , his friends , he played cards w Obama on Air Force
1, maybe more. Seems to be playing one side and has lost credibility, good luck chuck, gotta know when to hold ‘em , you know the deal.
That guy looks like Hitler
I’m so exited…..Trump’s been indicted …I’m about to lose control & I just can’t fight it..
