MSNBC Legal Analyst: Trump Put His Vice President’s Life in Danger

‘On page 36 in paragraph 97 and 98, I find it chilling, the president tells Mike Pence, you know, I’m going to have to publicly criticize you’

EXCERPT:

CHRISTIAN: "What -- first of all, I don't think it's an overstatement to say that the President of the United States put his vice president's life in danger. On page 36 in paragraph 97 and 98, I find it chilling, the president tells Mike Pence, you know, I'm going to have to publicly criticize you. His chief of staff, Mike Pence, chief of staff, grows alarmed and alerts the Secret Service. And then in the next paragraph Trump acknowledges, you know, tomorrow -- meaning January 6 -- the crowd is going to be angry. So he has a recognition that they're going to be angry. And then we know what happened on the day of January 6. He tweets you know, Mike Pence, you know, didn't do what's right for his country, and then the Secret Service grabs Mike Pence and -- and -- and puts him away in a secure location. So the narrative of the -- which Dasha laid out of Trump's specifically targeting Mike Pence through tweets, every time Mike Pence says no, I can't do it, the Constitution doesn't let me do it is in many ways chilling.”
