>> march 31st, 2016, woodward and i were talking about this the other day. it was the day we interviewed president trump today when he was on the cusp down in washington, d.c., and i don't want to speak too much about what bob and i discussed behind the scenes. >> oh, go ahead. >> i'll remember for the rest of my life woodward pulls me aside on pennsylvania avenue on march 31, 2016, and we interviewed donald trump for a long time. woodward says to me, that was very important. this man could be president. take it seriously, and that's the key that we recognized then and have to now, that these people may be out of office, but they very well could come back or win and you have to take the questions of governing seriously, the question of power. this is not a game. this is american politics, american democracy. >> again, bob woodward, too many of us didn't think he could win. you look at election night, hillary clinton on some of those stupid meters 92% chance of winning. we got mocked and ridiculed for even thinking it was possible. nobody thought this guy was

in the article published on the 16th of november 2016, andy woodward of 43 year old ex footballer who had played professionally at regional level revealed that he had been raped by his coach between the ages of 11 and 17. it was obviously a very powerful interview with on the woodward, but i don't think that anybody realised than that it would release the floodgates of so many other people coming forward me. 4 days later, steve walters, another ex footballer told how his coach had abused him. the following day, david white, a former manchester city player, described how he too had been abused by his coach. more and more victims came forward. in a single week, 6 footballers accused their former coaches in the fortnight after the initial article. 350 footballers spoke out the nation was devastated by their stories. the police squad that dealt with pedophilia cases was tasked with coordinating all the information. it took the investigators over a year and a half to produce an initial report. mm . ah, the ellipse almost 3000 referrals that police had purely as a result of the initial sort

and bob woodward, you've seen a lot in washington, d.c. before, but just again, weeding through what happens the night before this insurrection against the united states government, is so chilling. and it shows just how premeditated that attack was. >> yes, it was all planned out in a key way. we found december 30th, this is a week before january 6, before the insurrection, they -- steve bannon and trump are talking on the phone and bannon is just stirring trump up, saying you've got to come back. this is the day of reckoning in a week. we need to get pence involved here. we need to get him off the f'ing ski slopes where they stashed him away and it is very active and you start interlacing with what happened at the willard hotel, that night, january 5th. my colleague, costa who always has the news knows and was there that night. >> well i was outside. in that the whole scene, i mean banging on the door. i wish i had banged a little harder on that door. because it was a freezing cold night. and i was roaming around and i still remember, we

and of course eastman was at the woodward hotel, too, in the trump war room helping plan the events of january 6th. he is the man with the white hair circled in this photo approaching rudy guiliani. the committee also subpoenaed former general michael flynn today. you will of course remember him as donald trump's first national security adviser who resigned after less than a month amid revelations his conversations with the russian ambassador before trump was inaugurated. he ended up pleading guilty to lying to the fbi, started cooperating with special counsel robert mueller's investigation then seemed to stop and turned against it and said it was a witch hunt and was later pardoned by donald trump. in its letter to flynn today the january 6th committee references that he attended a december meeting in the oval office in which they discussed seizing voting machines, declaring a national emergency, invoking national emergency powers and continuing to spread the message the election had been tainted by widespread fraud. just the night before flynn spread similar claims on the right wing

joining us now, senior political analyst carl bernstein and bob woodward. he also famously wrote with carl, "all the president's men in his final days." if the judge does grant all the documents about the former president, how damning do you think it could be for his and his allies? >> that may happen, but it will, of course, be appealed, and i think if you look at the nixon tapes case going back to 1974, the ruling was that a prosecutor can get, in the case of nixon, his tapes, but the senate watergate committee could not. i'm not sure the january 6 commission has really got a strong hand. but this is very important if you digest the mechanics of an investigation like this. liz cheney said if you talk to 150 people, you can get a name, you can get a list. i doubt if there is anything in these documents that is going to be the smoking gun, but they have to find a witness, a participant who will cooperate or some sort of secret taping system, so there's a great deal of work to be done here. >> carl, what do you make of how it's going so far? >> i think that

what you just heard bob woodward say is, well, garland had two choices. he could have just indicted himself, the justice department, or he could have used a grand jury because the fifth amendment says no person shall be held for a capital or otherwise infamous crime except on indictment to the grand jury. that's almost exactly the text. what the supreme court has said, if that's a misdemeanor charge, you don't need a grand jury. that's what these two offenses are. what merrick garland did, he said it's kind of an infamous crime. i'm going to get the seal of approval of a grand jury to do this. he didn't have to do that to go after bannon but he did. woodward is right to say that discretionary act is a sign of confidence in his case. it gets the grand jury of one's peers to decide the case. the fact that merrick garland is a deep stater is ridiculous. it's the peers of bannon saying you should be indicted. >> and so then -- okay. so you have a grand jury. have i watched too many "law&order" episodes to know once you have a grand jury impaneled, can't they

also reported by woodward and costa was steve bannon's role in pushing the plan. on a phone call with the president, bannon said, quote, you got to call pence and get him back here today. we're going bury biden on january 6, f-ing bury him. >> pence says he's talked to all of the lawyers that he can talk to, and he has decided that he can't. he doesn't have the power that the president says he has. and trump turns on him. yells at him. says that essentially he's betrayed him and the meeting doesn't end very well between the two men. >> but that did not stop the president from publicly pressuring the vice president of on twitter ahead of the certification. >>> up next. >> we were on a conference call and i told kevin mccarthy when people are convinced that the election is stolen and there is a route out, there is going to be violence. his response was simply "operator, next caller." they need customized car insurance from liberty mutual so they only pay for what they need. what do you say we see what this bird can do? woooooooooooooo... we are not getting you a hel
