- Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

- when the justice department reveals itself to be untrustworthy, then surprise! the courts no longer trust the justice department:
"A federal judge in Virginia rejected the Justice Department's request to search through a Washington Post reporter's electronic devices as part of a national security leak investigation, ruling that the court would instead be responsible for conducting the search.
The Tuesday ruling suggested that Magistrate Judge William Porter did not trust the government to conduct a narrow search of the devices and feared that such an examination could risk exposing more that 1,000 of the reporter's government sources to the Justice Department."

At the end of Monday night's show, Rachel mentioned that there would be one more segment that would publish the following morning. This is that segment. Lawyer project preserves record of RADICAL DOJ corruption under Trump
Steven Salky, who oversees the Case Tracker Project with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, talks with Rachel Maddow about the project's mission to highlight and record for history the contrast between the behavior of the Justice Department corrupted under Donald Trump and how the Justice Department usually behaves.
