Jen Psaki

She was only just sworn in as the U.S.

attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia on Monday.

Up until a week ago, she was the person Trump put in charge of reducing the amount of mentions of things like, say, slavery at the Smithsonian Museum in D.C.

And this is how she defended that work.

OK, let me just note that clip is from about a month ago.

So it's not an ancient clip, but a month ago.

And that is the person Donald Trump found to prosecute a case against the former director of the FBI.

One he has been wanting to happen for a long time.

Joining me now is Andrew Weissman, MSNBC legal analyst and former top prosecutor for the Justice Department.

Andrew, you are the person I wanted to talk to most.

And I think everybody watching wanted to hear what they thought, given your history and your just incredible ability to explain things.

I want to know your thoughts just in general, given I think this moment really leaps over what we've seen in the past.

How are you digesting it?

I should note, I'm not a lawyer.

I've learned from all of you.

But there is a tremendous leap from an indictment to a conviction.

I think everybody watching knows that.

Last night, I was talking with Piper.

We knew even less last night, so I should just note that.

And we were talking about, though, kind of the case that his lawyers could make, to your point.
