A Moment Of Clarity: "No other President has committed crimes the way Trump has!" - Michael Steele
<div> <p>When the legal system is under fire, why are we relying on citizens with cell phones instead of the world’s most powerful law firms? Michael Steele confronts a startling reality: while everyday Americans are stepping up as "legal observers" on the front lines, the institutions designed to protect the rule of law have gone quiet. We dive deep into the "arrogance of unchecked power" and break down the rhetoric coming from the campaign trail regarding the "weaponization" of the DOJ.</p><p>Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MS NOW: <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/weeknight">https://www.msnbc.com/weeknight</a></p><p>Follow Michael on X: <a href="https://x.com/MichaelSteele">https://x.com/MichaelSteele</a></p><p>Follow Michael on Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.social">https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.social</a></p><p>Follow Michael on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/">https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/</a> </p><p>Follow Michael on Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steele">https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steele</a></p><p>Listen to The Michael Steele Podcast: <a href="https://www.thebulwark.com/s/the-michael-steele-podcast">https://www.thebulwark.com/s/the-michael-steele-podcast</a></p><p>Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6o">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6o</a></p><p>If you enjoyed this, be sure to leave a review or share it with a friend!</p></div>

A Moment Of Clarity: "These people think we're stupid as hell! You can't feed a family on $3!" - Michael Steele
