WEBVTT

00:01.902 --> 00:04.505
ALREADY SAYING HE IS FEELING

00:04.516 --> 00:09.743
OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY WILL KEEP

00:09.777 --> 00:12.719
AND MAYBE EXPAND AND GROW THEIR

00:12.730 --> 00:13.931
MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE.

00:13.942 --> 00:14.993
JEFFRIES AGAIN SAYING BECAUSE

00:15.028 --> 00:16.032
OF THOSE UNCALLED RACES, NOT SO

00:16.033 --> 00:16.340
FAST.

00:16.341 --> 00:17.948
>> YEAH, WELL, THAT IS WHY WE

00:17.959 --> 00:19.154
HAVE YOU WHERE YOU ARE TODAY,

00:19.189 --> 00:20.250
IN CASE ANYTHING COMES IN.

00:20.251 --> 00:21.488
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MY FRIEND.

00:21.499 --> 00:22.824
WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN, JULIE.

00:22.835 --> 00:24.203
>>> LET’S GO TO A NEW NBC NEWS

00:24.214 --> 00:25.020
REPORT REVEALING THE JUSTICE

00:25.021 --> 00:26.382
DEPARTMENT PLANS TO FOCUS ON

00:26.383 --> 00:27.744
ARRESTING ONLY THE MOST

00:27.778 --> 00:29.071
EGREGIOUS  JANUARY 6th RIOTERS

00:29.082 --> 00:30.233
IN THE REMAINING 72 DAYS BEFORE

00:30.244 --> 00:31.118
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP IS

00:31.153 --> 00:32.244
BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

00:32.245 --> 00:33.437
THE DOJ IS EXPECTING TO FOCUS

00:33.438 --> 00:34.447
ON CHARGING THOSE WHO COMMITTED

00:34.458 --> 00:35.354
FELONY ASSAULTS  ON LAW

00:35.365 --> 00:39.344
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS BEFORE

00:39.355 --> 00:42.971
TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO SHUT DOWN

00:43.006 --> 00:44.380
THE YEARS LONG INVESTIGATION.

00:44.381 --> 00:45.627
JOINING ME NOW, WE HAVE NBC’S

00:45.638 --> 00:46.090
RYAN RILEY.

00:46.101 --> 00:46.880
RYAN, BIG WELCOME.

00:46.891 --> 00:48.391
HOW MANY MORE SUSPECTS COULD BE

00:48.425 --> 00:51.813
CHARGED BEFORE TRUMP GETS SWORN

00:51.814 --> 00:52.197
IN?

00:52.208 --> 00:53.961
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE FBI

00:53.996 --> 00:55.137
CAPITAL VIOLENCE PAGE RIGHT NOW

00:55.138 --> 00:56.351
AND YOU WERE TO SCROLL THROUGH

00:56.352 --> 00:57.368
THAT, YOU WOULD SEE THESE

00:57.379 --> 00:58.387
HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS, MANY OF

00:58.422 --> 00:59.447
THOSE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN

00:59.448 --> 01:01.545
ARRESTED, BUT THERE ARE 75

01:01.556 --> 01:03.403
PEOPLE ON THAT LIST TO THE FBI

01:03.405 --> 01:04.511
HAS DEEMED AS PRIORITIES BY

01:04.512 --> 01:05.560
FEATURING THEIR PHOTO ON THEIR

01:05.571 --> 01:08.237
OWN WEBSITE, WHO HAVE BEEN

01:08.270 --> 01:09.562
IDENTIFIED BY ONLINE SLEUTHS,

01:09.564 --> 01:10.829
THESE ONLINE SLEUTHS HAVE TOLD

01:10.840 --> 01:12.086
ME, AND THAT INFORMATION IS IN

01:12.121 --> 01:13.260
THE FBI’S HANDS, SO THAT

01:13.271 --> 01:14.967
ACTUALLY KIND OF WORKS OUT TO A

01:14.978 --> 01:16.092
PACE OF ABOUT ONE PER DAY

01:16.103 --> 01:17.067
BEFORE INAUGURATION DAY, IF

01:17.101 --> 01:18.169
THEY WANT TO GET THESE OVER THE

01:18.170 --> 01:18.439
LINE.

01:18.440 --> 01:20.013
WHAT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
TYPICALLY DOES HERE IS FOCUS

01:20.015 --> 01:24.148
TYPICALLY DOES HERE IS FOCUS

01:24.159 --> 01:34.105
THEIR RESOURCES ON  THE MOST

01:34.139 --> 01:35.259
VIOLENT CRIME.

01:35.270 --> 01:37.195
THAT IS JUST GENERALLY A DOJ

01:37.197 --> 01:38.459
POLICY ALTOGETHER, BUT NOW THAT

01:38.470 --> 01:39.715
THERE IS A SMALLER WINDOW, THEY

01:39.749 --> 01:40.823
REALLY ARE NARROWING DOWN AND

01:40.825 --> 01:42.089
SAYING, OKAY, HERE IS WHERE WE

01:42.100 --> 01:43.387
CAN GET PAST THE FINISH LINE,

01:43.421 --> 01:44.617
BUT I THINK THERE IS GOING TO

01:44.628 --> 01:45.413
POTENTIALLY BE SOME RESISTANCE

01:45.414 --> 01:46.334
POTENTIALLY FROM WITHIN THE

01:46.345 --> 01:47.649
FBI, BECAUSE THE FBI IS A

01:47.683 --> 01:51.921
CONSERVATIVE LEANING LAW-

01:51.932 --> 01:52.968
ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATION.

01:53.002 --> 01:55.051
THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A LOT OF

01:55.062 --> 01:55.965
OFFICES THAT WEREN’T SO

01:55.976 --> 01:56.749
ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT BRINGING

01:56.783 --> 01:58.185
THESE CASES, THERE IS A LOT OF

01:58.186 --> 01:59.260
SUPPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP WITHIN

01:59.271 --> 02:00.539
THE FBI, AND THE QUESTION IS

02:00.550 --> 02:01.789
WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THOSE

02:01.800 --> 02:03.089
OFFICIALS ARE GOING TO SORT OF

02:03.100 --> 02:04.448
TRY TO SLOW WALK ANY OF THESE

02:04.449 --> 02:05.507
CASES BEFORE THEY WANT TO GET

02:05.541 --> 02:06.476
THEM OVER THE LINE.

02:06.477 --> 02:07.635
BUT, EVEN IF YOU CHARGE THEM, I

02:07.646 --> 02:08.247
THINK, FROM FEDERAL

02:08.258 --> 02:08.880
PROSECUTORS, INCLUDING ONE

02:08.915 --> 02:09.796
FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR I

02:09.807 --> 02:10.959
SPOKE WITH YESTERDAY WHO WORKED

02:10.993 --> 02:12.477
A LOT OF THESE CASES, YOU GET

02:12.488 --> 02:13.707
AS MUCH DONE AS YOU CAN AND

02:13.718 --> 02:14.652
CHARGING THESE CASES BEFORE

02:14.686 --> 02:16.112
SOMEONE -- EVEN IF THAT CASE IS

02:16.123 --> 02:17.346
GOING TO BE DISMISSED DOWN THE

02:17.357 --> 02:18.356
LINE, THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC

02:18.390 --> 02:19.000
RECORD WITH OVERWHELMING

02:19.001 --> 02:19.919
EVIDENCE ATTACHED TO IT,

02:19.920 --> 02:24.350
SHOWING WHAT THIS PERSON DID ON

02:24.361 --> 02:26.591
THAT DAY, AT -- AND FOR

02:26.602 --> 02:27.677
ESPECIALLY GETTING JUSTICE FOR

02:27.678 --> 02:28.917
THE VICTIMS OF JANUARY 6th,

02:28.951 --> 02:30.273
THAT REALLY IS WHAT I THINK IS

02:30.274 --> 02:30.876
ON PROSECUTORS’ MINDS THIS

02:30.877 --> 02:31.171
WEEK.

02:31.172 --> 02:32.655
>> A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS HERE,

02:32.656 --> 02:33.942
FIRST OF ALL, ISN’T THE DOJ AND

02:33.953 --> 02:34.754
SUBSEQUENTLY THE FBI SUPPOSED

02:34.756 --> 02:35.978
TO BE COMPLETELY NONPARTISAN?

02:35.989 --> 02:39.509
YOU SAID IT IS CONSERVATIVE

02:39.510 --> 02:39.913
LEANING.

02:39.914 --> 02:41.694
THAT MIGHT BE IN THE WAY IN

02:41.695 --> 02:42.874
WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL VOTES, BUT

02:42.885 --> 02:44.020
IN THE OFFICE ISN’T IT SUPPOSED

02:44.054 --> 02:44.966
TO BE COMPLETELY NONPARTISAN?

02:44.977 --> 02:46.170
AND SECONDLY, YOU SAY THERE ARE

02:46.171 --> 02:47.326
ABOUT 75 STILL OUTSTANDING, IT

02:47.327 --> 02:48.734
HAS BEEN A FEW YEARS THEY HAVE

02:48.735 --> 02:49.949
HAD TO HUNT THESE PEOPLE DOWN

02:49.960 --> 02:51.242
AND BRING THEM TO ARREST OR

02:51.253 --> 02:52.711
SPEAK WITH THEM AT LEAST, IS IT

02:52.746 --> 02:53.995
A MANPOWER THING THAT WHY IT IS

02:54.006 --> 02:54.748
TAKING SO LONG?

02:54.759 --> 02:56.060
>> I MEAN, FRANKLY, YOU ARE

02:56.094 --> 02:57.111
CORRECT THAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO

02:57.122 --> 02:57.816
BE THIS NONPARTISAN

02:57.827 --> 02:58.944
ORGANIZATION BUT THAT IS JUST

02:58.978 --> 03:03.054
NOT THE BASE OF WHAT MY

03:03.055 --> 03:04.866
REPORTING HAS SHOWN OVER THE

03:04.867 --> 03:06.364
PAST SEVERAL YEARS, A LOT OF

03:06.365 --> 03:07.448
THESE CASES HAVE BEEN SLOW

03:07.449 --> 03:08.537
WALKED BY FBI FIELD OFFICES.

03:08.538 --> 03:09.808
YOU JUST DON’T HAVE PEOPLE WHO

03:09.819 --> 03:11.058
HAVE THE BUY-IN, AND THERE ARE

03:11.069 --> 03:12.216
PEOPLE WHO HAVE QUIT THE FBI

03:12.217 --> 03:13.214
BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T LIKE HOW

03:13.225 --> 03:13.956
THESE JANUARY 6th CASES WERE

03:13.990 --> 03:14.257
GOING.

03:14.268 --> 03:16.619
THEY BOUGHT INTO THE SAME

03:16.621 --> 03:18.595
PROPAGANDA  THAT A LOT OF THIS

03:18.596 --> 03:19.745
SAME PEOPLE WHO STORMED THE

03:19.756 --> 03:20.525
CAPITAL ON JANUARY 6th BOUGHT

03:20.526 --> 03:20.774
INTO.

03:20.785 --> 03:21.622
YOU KNOW, MAKING ILLOGICAL

03:21.657 --> 03:22.600
COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE

03:22.611 --> 03:23.807
STORMING OF THE CAPITAL AND

03:23.808 --> 03:24.845
SAYING  BLACK LIVES MATTER

03:24.856 --> 03:25.728
PROTESTS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN

03:25.729 --> 03:27.061
THOSE ARE APPLES TO ORANGES,

03:27.072 --> 03:28.235
THOSE AREN’T REALLY THE SAME AT

03:28.246 --> 03:28.578
ALL.

03:28.613 --> 03:30.128
BUT ONE OF THE MESSAGES THAT

03:30.129 --> 03:31.625
REALLY STUCK TO ME WHEN I SPOKE

03:31.636 --> 03:33.123
WITH A PROSECUTOR THIS WEEK IS

03:33.134 --> 03:37.161
WHEN THESE CASES WENT TO COURT,

03:37.172 --> 03:38.945
AND WHEN AMERICAN CITIZENS WERE

03:38.979 --> 03:39.975
PRESENTED WITH THE EVIDENCE,

03:39.986 --> 03:40.877
THE OVERWHELMINGLY, IN HIS

03:40.878 --> 03:41.778
WORDS, MADE THE CORRECT

03:41.789 --> 03:44.738
DECISION AND THAT WAS REALLY

03:44.749 --> 03:46.462
SOMETHING THAT STUCK WITH ME.

03:46.497 --> 03:48.213
AS MUCH OF A STRUGGLE AS WE

03:48.224 --> 03:52.343
HAVE AS A COUNTRY, THE JURY

03:52.377 --> 03:54.563
SYSTEM, FOR ALL ITS FAULTS, IS

03:54.574 --> 03:56.054
PRETTY HIGH UP THERE, IT IS

03:56.089 --> 03:56.922
PRETTY ACCURATE, MOST OF THE

03:56.923 --> 03:57.213
TIME.

03:57.214 --> 03:58.365
JUST WATCHING ALL THIS EVIDENCE

03:58.366 --> 03:59.428
FLOW IN, IT IS REALLY

03:59.439 --> 04:00.578
REMARKABLE FOR THESE PEOPLE WHO

04:00.612 --> 04:02.078
DID THAT WORK TO SAY THAT, YOU

04:02.079 --> 04:03.535
KNOW, THE CLICK OF A BUTTON, OR

04:03.546 --> 04:04.799
AT THE SEND OF A MESSAGE, ALL

04:04.800 --> 04:06.195
THAT WORK COULD BE DONE.

04:06.206 --> 04:08.426
>> YEAH, SO, THE JANUARY 6th

04:08.427 --> 04:09.776
RIOTERS , THEY ARE CERTAINLY

04:09.810 --> 04:13.419
HOPING TRUMP MAKES GOOD ON HIS

04:13.420 --> 04:15.392
CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO PARDON THEM.

04:15.403 --> 04:16.860
HOW HIGH, AND HOW VALID OUR

04:16.871 --> 04:17.807
EXPECTATIONS THAT TRUMP WILL

04:17.842 --> 04:18.737
GRANT PARDONS, EVEN FOR VIOLENT

04:18.748 --> 04:19.242
OFFENDERS, RYAN?

04:19.243 --> 04:21.887
>> THAT IS A QUESTION.
I HAVE BEEN ASKING THE TRUMP

04:21.898 --> 04:24.516
I HAVE BEEN ASKING THE TRUMP

04:24.551 --> 04:29.779
CAMPAIGN THIS FOR A WHILE AND

04:29.790 --> 04:32.358
THEY HAVEN’T WANTED TO GET INTO

04:32.392 --> 04:33.916
THE DETAILS, THEY WANTED TO GET

04:33.927 --> 04:34.685
PAST THE CAMPAIGN.

04:34.719 --> 04:36.060
WHAT THEY TOLD ME EARLIER IN

04:36.071 --> 04:37.330
THE SPRING IS THAT THIS WAS

04:37.341 --> 04:38.591
GOING TO BE DONE ON A CASE-BY-

04:38.602 --> 04:39.260
CASE BASIS.

04:39.261 --> 04:40.665
BUT, LIKE I SAID ABOUT THE

04:40.666 --> 04:41.678
EVIDENCE, THERE IS JUST REALLY

04:41.680 --> 04:42.606
OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE HERE, SO

04:42.617 --> 04:43.818
IF ANY OF THESE FOLKS ARE

04:43.853 --> 04:44.806
PARDONED, THERE IS ZERO DOUBT

04:44.807 --> 04:46.318
WHAT THEY DID, RIGHT?

04:46.329 --> 04:47.459
THAT IS ON VIDEO.

04:47.470 --> 04:48.779
YOU CAN PLAY THAT FOR THE

04:48.813 --> 04:49.936
AMERICAN PUBLIC AS MANY TIMES

04:49.947 --> 04:51.200
AS YOU WANT, AND WHATEVER YOU

04:51.234 --> 04:52.383
DO WITH A PARDON, AS SOMEONE

04:52.384 --> 04:52.628
HAS ALREADY BEEN CONVICTED, THE
