This is how a prosecutor of ORGANIZED CRIME sees Trump's corruption
Former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade talks with Rachel Maddow about her acclaimed new book, "The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government," in which she draws upon her experience prosecuting fraud and organized crime to understand how to defeat Donald Trump's style of intimidation and inflicting pain on others to dominate them and get what he wants.
NOTE: This is a full length interview with Barb McQuade about her new book that did not air on TV and was not a special live ticketed event. We published it this morning just for the internet.

|
You may notice the promos for tomorrow's special primary election coverage on MS NOW show a not-usual start time of 10pm ET.
That's because the states having elections next Tuesday are California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota. So other than New Jersey, those are all west of Eastern Time.
So the long desk gang starts a bit later, after The Briefing with Jen Psaki, and we stay a bit later as those West Coast polls wrap up.
See you then!
