Chris Krebs.
matched
I mean, Chris Krebs, all he did was rebuke the president's false claim that the election wasn't stolen as somebody in his administration.
matched
And here's what Trump is trying to do.
matched
Look, I don't know how much of it, you never know with Donald Trump.
matched
Is he trying to distract you like a guy with a laser pointer and the media is a bunch of cats?
matched
Is he trying to get people to chase things so they stop talking about the fact that he
matched
and did a total about face on the tariffs after telling us for days that he wasn't going to do a pause.
matched
And now he's suddenly pausing because the world economy is collapsing.
matched
Is he doing this as a distraction?
matched
I don't know, but on its face, it is incredibly pernicious for him to sign executive orders and launch investigations into people simply for speaking out against what they saw
matched
from his administration and also what he was saying there is though it's like highly unusual look lots of books get written by people who are insiders in administrations who talk about the things that happened in the rooms that's actually very common that's what reporters do and what he's trying to do here though is to make people afraid of speaking out against him not just people from before but people who are there now people who have an understanding of what he's doing
matched
and who, as people are looking for insight, he's saying, if you leak, because people leak against Trump all the time.
matched
I mean, nobody leaks against Trump more because people inside are trying to make Trump not do crazy things, right, by telling the media he's about to do crazy things.
matched
And so leaking is like a mechanism for them to curb some of Trump's
matched
worst impulses and so he's trying to make people afraid by saying he's going to launch investigations into anybody who speaks out i mean this is some of the most insane authoritarian is like authoritarian stuff we've seen out of him i can't disagree with that and i can't believe no one is people should be outraged can you imagine again i hate to keep like doing this comparison can you imagine if the biden administration did the same thing
matched
Look, I think for a lot of us who were really concerned and alarmed by a Trump second term, one of the things that we thought may very well happen is that Trump was going to set himself up to deny court orders or just ignore them.
matched
And, you know, the courts have become in this moment one of the last refuges of sort of being able to hold Trump either accountable or stop some of the things he's doing.
matched
He is going so fast to try to dismantle the government or implement his deportation policies that he's showing.
matched
a lot of disregard for the law.
matched
And so the judges, whether they're setting up injunctions or trying to slow him down, temporary restraining orders, there's going to come a point, we always thought, where Trump might just say, I'm going to start ignoring these court orders.
