but inlike in georgia where the gop secretary of state recorded a call with the president, the keymar -- key maricopa county election official refused to speak to trump. ron brownstein joins us. why are these latest revelations significant to you? >> happy fourth to you and everybody watching. i think there are two real important conclusions that come out of these revelations in arizona. one is that we simply do not know all the ways in which donald trump used and abused his power as president. it just underscores the need for a more comprehensive understanding of what he did in office. and all of the ways in which he may have gone beyond the proper boundaries of the use of presidential power, especially given that he may ask the country to restore it to him again in a little over three years. i was talking to our colleague john dean a couple of weeks ago for a story i was writing. he noted that when nixon left office, we had so much of a better idea of everything that had happened than we do under trump. i had the same feeling when the revelations came out about the subpoenaing of co

because just last week the department of justice challenged the new law in georgia. the new vote restrictions in georgia. and i think they knew this was coming from the supreme court. so they did not use the part of the law about discriminatory effects. they used the part of the law that says laws cannot be passed with discriminatory intent. but again, it is important to point out, the supreme court has narrowed the definition of intent as well. made it harder to prove discriminatory intent. and if the broader message of the shelby county case eight years ago, this case today, is that the supreme court is going to make it hard to use the voting rights act. so the chances of success of the department of justice case that was filed against georgia last week, it's not directly effected by the result today, but atmospherically it sure is and i would say the attempt to use the courts to stop voting restrictions is gotten harder today and that is going to effect georgia as well. >> jeffrey, hold tight. we have other breaking news. i want to get your reaction to this hour a
