Donald Trump has made flouting the law and daring anyone to challenge his ability to do so a hallmark of his second term, but a new video reminding Americans of the limits of Trump's power has him in a red-faced tantrum. The video consists of several members of Congress who are veterans of the military and intelligence services pointing out the fact that members of the military are not required to follow illegal orders.Donald Trump called for the deaths of Democratic members of Congress who are military and intelligence service veterans who participated in a video reminded members of the military that they should not follow illegal orders, prompting hundreds of death threats to those legislators and making additional security for their protection necessary. Despite vociferous concern about violent political rhetoric in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Republican condemnation of Trump has been light. Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Maggie Goodlander talk with Jen Psaki about preserving legal and moral clarity in the face of Trump's lawlessness and threats.Jen Psaki explains how the political revenge prosecution of Adam Schiff by two of Donald Trump's lackeys, Ed Martin and Bill Pulte, has not only fallen apart as a legal case, but has flipped on Trump's investigators, who now find themselves the subjects of a new Justice Department investigation.
