adam schiff writes that in the first impeachment trial of donald trump in which adam schiff was the lead prosecutor in the senate trial, republicans proved to donald trump that republicans in congress would never confront him and never constrain him and had been fully and successfully - none of the republican have been more coward than donald trump. adam schiff writes about this about mccarthy. i learned all i need to know about mccarthy, but, six months before the 2010 midterm elections, we were both headed to washington from california and happened to be seated together on a united airline flight. our districts are separate by 100 miles. we never really had the opportunity to get to know each other, while democrats were still on the majority, the elections were shaping up to be tight and our margins were small. there was growing doubt about whether we would retain that majority. during the fight, i expressed confidence that the economy would remain positive and we continue to leave the house. it was not much of a conversation, just the type of small talk that you would have while waiti

this is from page 85 of adam schiff buck. first things first what exactly did the trump campaign during the 2016 election and what was this relationship with russia annotations? because the facts of the president and treaties for russian help and the campaigns innumerable russian contacts leash into the public consciousness over a two year period and where the subject of a relentless effort of office station in cover and most americans have only a deep sense of what actually took place. the study goes on to remind us, and it really is stunning just not have it laid out all at once. without all of the noise, just have the facts laid out. the russian hacking of the democratic committee, the stolen emails that could strategically leaked to hurt hillary's campaign, and help donald trump. -- testing the waters by campaign advisor. approaching trump son who is open to their pitch. the trump tower meeting, wikileaks disseminating the stolen emails, trump reading the cam pain stop after campaign stop. the russians attempting to hack

adam shift rates in the first impeachment trial of donald trump in which adam schiff was the lead prosecutor in the senate trial. republicans proved to donald trump, that the republicans in congress would never confront, him never constrain him, and had been fully and successfully cowed. none of the republicans have been more coward, by donald trump, then the house republican leader kevin kevin mccarthy, who will become speaker of the, house if the republicans win back control of the house of representatives. in his book adam shift writes this about kevin mccarthy, i learned all i would ever need to know about kevin mccarthy on a plane, or to be more supersize, shortly after landing. about six months before the 2010 midterm elections, we were both heading back to washington from california happened to be seated together on a united airlines flight. although we are both from california, our districts are separated by almost 100 miles and we will never really had the opportunity to get to know each other. while democrats were still in the majority, the elections were shaping up to be tight, ou

congressman adam schiff joins us next. stay with us.tr cs >>> i felt myself stiffen. in more than a decade of speaking with robert mueller, i never heard him grope for words. as jerry nadler continued to ask him questions he seemed halting and uncertain. when he asked, did any senior white house official refuse to be interviewed by you and your team? his eyes darted left and right, physically searching his memory. i don't believe so, he said. now i was alarmed. nadler's question was almost rhetorical. he raised his eyebrows and said slowly, the president? mueller raised a hand in recognition of his error. well, let me take that back, he said. i winced at the sight of this and turned to my democratic colleagues. even on a bad day, mueller had been capable of performing better than 99% of the witnesses i heard testify. but this was not the bob mueller i knew. two years had brought a striking change. and i suddenly understood not only his own reluctance to testify, but the protective instincts of his dedicated staff. had i known how much he had changed i would not have p

the former president is obsessed with adam schiff. perhaps good reason. it's extremely readable, which is not always the case can politician books as you know. for all the dish and surprising anecdotes in the book, what's important is the way adam schiff lays out the facts of what we went through as a country during the trump years in a way that i think helps us understand how we got to where we are today. and don't take my word for it. i found this to be illustrative and illuminating. this is pulitzer prize-winning ron chernow. he says this book will stand as the touchstone of truth against any attempts to discourt or rewrite this crucial piece of history. he has restored our faith in the nobility of public service and has shown what one dedicated patriot, courageous, intelligent, and fearless, can still accomplish even in a divided country. coming from ron chernow, that is saying something. one of the things that adam schiff clearly wants us not to forget what we learned over the last few years is how it came together, how much more shocked we would hav

they have learned, adam schiff has learned that the doj will do nothing with it, no one has been charged with insurrection, but it is an attempt seemingly to i don't know, rewrite history? >> it was never in insurrection, it was a malay, and there were some complicate it components that clearly a lot of federal informants and/or agents in that crowd, their role is still unknown, we should find out. but in general these are people who thought the election was stolen, they have some evidence to support that view, it is not a free and fair election, you don't have to believe it, the voting machines were rigged to look at 2020 and say, that was not fair. i mean, you shut down negative stories about one guy and highlight stories of the other? i mean, google stopped the trump campaign from sending out fund-raising emails in gmail. nothing like that has happened before, we change the way that we vote, we did it by mail, of course there was massive fraud, these are real concerns, but to these people had a reason to be frustrated, democracy that they believed and turned out to be fake, so rather

joining me now is adam schiff. he was, of course, lead manager in president trump's first impeachment trial. his new book is midnight in washington. have we almost lost our democracy and still could. it really is a clear call for action and a warning. congratulations on the book if is quite an achievement and it is an inside story, the first we have ever had, from the lead player on the prosecution side of the first trump impeachment. talk to me first about this deadline. criminal contempt citations. >> yes, we're deadly serious about getting to the bottom of everything that happened up to january 6th and there after. and if witnesses don't appear when they're supposed to, we intend to move quickly. >> isn't that a very time consuming process? we saw what happened with the original trump witnesses and how you never even got to talk to some of them until it was long after the process. >> the process of civil litigation is very lengthy for don mcgahn. it took two years to get his deposition, but we don't have the opp

so far, none of the four officials targeted have complied so adam schiff issued a new round of threats yesterday. >> also want to make sure that these witnesses come in and testify and we are prepared to go forward and urged the justice department to permanently prosecute anyone who does not do their lawful duty. >> laura: try to me now was former white house chief of staff mark meadows, author of the upcoming book the chief chief, he is one of the four former trump officials targeted by adam schiff. i know there's a lot you can't discuss as it relates to the subpoenas but given what my angle laid out, it is quite amazing that this is what the democrats are focused on as the country is reeling from this inflation supply chain issues, border, et cetera. >> you're exactly right. i can tell you what we're seeing here is basically democrats want to talk about anything other than the economy, anything other than the fact that there were more people that could be working that are working right now and you are exactly right to hit on all of these. we went from energy dominance and we've now g

we were warned by adam schiff who turned out to be correct on every single count. more than a year and a half after he said those words on the floor of the united states senate we all are living the fallout of the now twice impeached disgrace asked deplatformed expresident's attempts to steal the 2020 election. we are grappling with an ongoing threat to our democracy as the republican party sets the stage for an attempt to overturn the results of the next presidential and midterm elections if they don't go their way. few people have witnessed the degradation of our democracy at the hands of trump and the republican party up close and personal in the way that adam schiff has. in his new book, he describes the current situation, our system of government depends on two functional parties. now we have only one. the gop have become an anti-toout anti-democratic cult organized around the former president. for a brief moment when emotions around the insurrection were high and public sentiment against trump was powerful and deep, mccarthy and mcconnell flirted with casting

congressman adam schiff, thank you very much for joining us. if the title weren't jarring enough, you've also been saying that the risk of authoritarianism in this country has never been greater. do you mean that? >> i do there's this dangerous flirtation in the republican party withutocracy. you see it reflected in some of their preeminent spokespeople like tucker carlson extolling the model of the wanna be hungarian dictator, demonstrations in budapest and republicans around the country attacking the independent apparatus of our democracy, these elections officials and tryingo strip them of their powers and give them to a partisan appointed officials or boards and that is a direct threat to our democracy and the pathway to authoritarianism. >> woodruff: i'm struck in the book by obviously you focus a great deal on president trump but by how much you focus on republican members of congress and you describe how many are good people who are persuaded to abandon their beliefs. this becomes a theme of the book. give us an example of how you see th

and finally democratic congressman adam schiff recounts his experiences as the leader of the first impeachment trial of president trump. he recently spoke about his book on the author interview program "after words." >> he wouldn't disagree with him and he would have an outside party running the house of representatives and an ethical one to boot. the story as you know that i telling the book i told because it is uncharacteristic. this was in 2010. the midterms were about six months away and we were having an idle conversation about who was going to win the midterms. he said the republicans will win and it started and i was relieved to escape to the movie. we landed and went our separate ways. that night unbeknownst to me in which he told the press everybody knew they were going to win the midterms and atoms admitted republicans were going to win the midterms. so i didn't learn about this until in the morning when the newspaper came out and i was astounded. first of all we were having a private conversation. but if it wasn't, you know i said the opposite. he looks at me as says i know but you

adam schiff did not rule out witnesses for higher profile. congressman adam schiff of the california, a member of the select committee on the january 6th attack and author of "midnight in washington how we almost lost our democracy and still could." thank you for being here. congratulations on the success of the book. let's get right to the last point. in your view, if the justice department does not fully hold accountable steve bannon to show up and honor these subpoenas that, would you agree with me there would be no hope of ever being able to obtain testimony from people like senate -- i mean, house minority leader mccarthy. >> it's very hard to see how we can get timely information if we can't enforce our own subpoenas that. this is an early test whether our democracy is recovering and the principle nobody is above the law and the law applies equally to evening. we're encouraged to hear what president biden said today that he thinks our committee should e and believes they should be prosecuted. i'm very, very impressed the biden white hou

california congressman adam schiff. congressman schiff is also chair of the intelligence committee and the author of the new book "midnight in washington." thank you so much for your time tonight. as we just laid out, the january 6th attack, it didn't come out of nowhere. that's something you go to great lengths to detail in your book. how are the things we saw in charlottesville in 2017, in kenosha last summer related to what happened at the capitol on january 6th? >> well, the historian robert karo said power doesn't corrupt as much as it reveals. and power has revealed who a lot of the people in our government are. but it's also revealed a lot about the country, and bigotry that exited just below the surface has been given license to come out in the open. you have people like tucker carlson, as you played in that clip, actively advocating for people to arm themselves. and then you have others that are pushing this big lie around the country to encourage a whole new generation of jim crow laws to try to disenfranchise

adam schiff, by the way, has been putting pressure on merrick garland. a lot of pressure on him. now, if you look at the history, will merrick garland charge, on the one hand. yes, it is a federal crime, punishing by up to one year. minimum of one month. however, if we look at the history, it's been over 50 years since doj has criminally charged anyone for this. in the last decade or so, we have seen both parties get contempt referrals. barr and wilbur ross under the trump administration. learner and holder under the obama then station. we will see if merrick garland recognizes we are in new territory here >> there is also a civil track. >> absolutely. they could go to court and try to compel the witnesses to testify and compel documents. we will have a battle in the courts over executive privilege. joe biden has said, i'm not asserting executive privilege. meaning those documents can go over to the committee. unless donald trump objects, he has made noises that he will object, but now he's got to go into court. now the legal question is who gets to exercise executive privilege.

i think that adam schiff is right. this is a fundamental constitutional issue about congressional power. you know, i mean, what profits a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul? but for steve bannon to do this, for steve bannon, somebody who was charged with a felony for ripping off republican voters, their own constituents to build the fake wall, and yet more than 90% of them then turn around and say, yeah, we're going to let him thumb our nose at this body, at the congress of the united states over something like january 6th. look, i mean, the republicans have made a very, very clear decision, with the exception of the nine, that they're either going to ignore it or they're going to go along with trump, who is now rather aggressively engaging in revisionist history. that tweet that he put out that the real insurrection was november 3rd and the protest was january 6th, he is at some point going to demand that republicans celebrate january 6th despite the fact that police officers ended up losing their lives

congressman adam schiff joins us live. going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage, and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. with original medicare, you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits. but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you're still responsible for 20% of the cost. next, let's look at a medicare supplement plan. as you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and co-insurance. but, they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. now, let's take a look at humana's medicare advantage plans. with a humana medicare advantage plan, hospital stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. and of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. in fact, in 2020 humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $8,400 on average on thei
