We begin tonight with a deep dive into what Donald Trump and his sycophants have planned for the Department of Justice under Project 2025 and how they would use the DOJ to attack American citizens.

The 28 page section of the project's men to attack American citizens.

The 28-page section of the Project's manifesto covering the Department of Justice

and the FBI is a nightmarish play-by-play on how to turn the DOJ into the Office of Vengeance.

According to Hamilton and the folks at the Heritage Foundation,

the Department of Justice would no longer be independent

in a second Trump administration.

On page 559, Hamilton writes,

while the supervision of litigation is a DOJ responsibility,

the department falls under the direct supervision and control of the President of the United States as a component of the executive branch.

Thus, and putting aside criminal prosecutions that can warrant different treatment, litigation decisions

must be made consistent with the President's agenda.

That's what Project 2024's 25 is called about. Project 2025 will deploy the

Department of Justice to prosecute Trump's energy, Trump's

enemies. That was the President of the United States, Joseph Robinette

Biden holding a very spirited campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan tonight. We just

took that live clocking in around 30 minutes before a exuberant crowd. I am Chris Hayes here in New York.

I'm joined by my colleague Joy Reed of course, the host of the readout just before me and Joy I want to first get your my first read on this and

again I think we've we've been honest throughout about the various performances

we've seen from this president,

from the debate, the Stephanophilus interview,

to the press conference.
