Speaker 1: And now for a moment of clarity.
Speaker 2: See the problem is we just categorically cannot take the
administration at their word on this because maybe for that
US Attorney that is not a feature of their particular investigation.
But who's to say that the Department of Justice at
Main Justice, as you know the streets would say, Mary
McCord and what not, would tell us Main Justice that's
not something they're folks focused on. My chief concern here
and the questions that I have about this are all
centered around the retribution piece of it all. It's centered
around the retribution reed Hoffman. It is not the first
time he has been named. He is not just someone
that gave to this fund. Essentially, he's a big democratic donor.
The administration has previously put a target on the back
of foundations in this country that have supported what they
would call small d democratic efforts. Is not, in my opinion,
disconnected from that, and I have questions about how deep
the rabbit.
Speaker 1: Hole goes, I think, Alicia, for me, this really boils
down to one very simple thing, and I really want
folks to understand what they're looking at it. This is
what weaponization of our government looks like. This is exactly
what it looks like when an appeal court dismisses charges,
allegations whatever in a matter, and then the administration, through
his Department of Justice, wants to come and do a
wrap around, pulling her in e. Gen Carroll into a
legal effort to go after a nonprofit that, as simon,
not that they want to target, as they've targeted others
in the past. Folks, this is what it looks like.
So all the BSU hear from this administration, particularly coming
out of this president's mouth, about how he's been oh,
such a victim, is so much put upon. Well, it's
because of your own behavior. That's Michael Steal on the
weeknight Monday through Friday at seven pm Eastern on ms
