Role Of Trump Era Corruption Pondered In Delay Of Arrest Of Trump Friend Barrack - Rachel Maddow



Rachel Maddow considers the possibility that a delay in the indictment of Donald Trump friend and inauguration committee chair Tom Barrack, as reported by CNN, could be part of an apparent pattern of corrupt deference to Trump associates by the Department of Justice in the Trump era, or perhaps a stall to wait out Trump's pardon power.

I keep wondering if there is any way to reverse the previous pardons - especially if/when the pardoner-in-chief is indicted himself. And it has to happen - Michael Cohen went to jail after following TFG's orders - and this case is even more serious since it involves allowing another government to determine U.S. policy - to benefit themselves.
