Chris Hayes Warns Against Writing Kirstjen Nielsen’s Political Obit: ‘Torture Architect’ John Yoo Is Tenured at Berkeley
RUSH EXCERPT:
HAYES: “No one made her do that. She could have resigned in if her reputation is in Tatters, that's on her. She is a grown up and she has to go out into the world. How will the world receive her? That's an open question. We lived through the George W. Bush Administration where someone like John Yu wrote a memo that facilitated war crimes. You mote a memo saying certain torture didn't count as torture and gave it to Jay who signed off on it and our country tortured people. According to the torture reporter, waterboarding and near drownings and sleep depation and rectal feeding and death threats. What became infamous in the moments, guess where they are now. That's a nice tenured perch. Torture architect dodging circles on his way to class. What happened to Jay? He's a federal judge for life. They paid price for their complicity and war crimes.“
