There's so much to be.

I know that we're here for legal analysis and Monique's going to get at me for the legal analysis.

We can do that.

But I will say, as someone who has had to sit through in different capacities and watch Alvin Bragg.

indict and ultimately convict Donald Trump and watch Beanie Thompson sit at the chair of the select committee on January 6th and watch Letitia James execute a civil case against the Trump organization and then also face the retribution from that.

I do want to point out that

And this is very apropos for the day that we are observing the history of what it is of people, of Black people in America standing firm and being resolved that they are on the right side of right.

And yet again, this is something that falls directly in line with this at a point when the administration has so characteristically attempted to overplay its hand.

And I think that that warrants noting, if there is any tradition, Don, that you have remained a part of, and this is before today, sure, but certainly encapsulated in this current conversation,

It is the tradition of standing on the right side of right, despite the cacophony of noise that we will hear from naysayers and people who do not wish us well, as we simply stand trying to fulfill the promise of American democracy, more so than the people who are deriding us for doing it.

And so I do think that warrants, you know, from a big picture standpoint, some pointing out.

So I want to pick up exactly where my new nickname is that man, by the way, but go on.

You are that man.

I want to pick up where Monique left off in terms of the incompetence of this administration, because there's a very important point here.

When I read and listened to Harmeet Dhillon's comments, one of the things that struck me was that we have sort of taken too many of us.

have approached this as water under the bridge, that this DOJ is openly trying to execute the will of the executive branch, which is not the function of the DOJ.

I want to be very, very clear about this.

The justification

that the DOJ is using and connecting what it is that you were allegedly standing in the way of and connecting that to the White House is inappropriate.

It's highly inappropriate in terms of the function and purpose of how the DOJ operates.
