This episode is just another example of 60 minutes pushing partisan politics as they lie to Americans or intentionally leave out facts to push the liberal progressive ideology of the Democrats! 60 minutes recently aired this highly partisan episode attacking Trump’s recent executive order on law firms! During this segment 60 minutes interviewed Mark Elias who stated that he “fights for free & fair elections”, but the show failed to mention that Elias was the architect of the fake Russian collusion steel dossier, which was the polar opposite of creating a fair election!
A political attack he was on the clinton legal team if he was not connected i would have more confidence in his coments
All these commenters trying to defend the corrupt system that tried to put Trump in jail so the majority of people could not elect their choice for President. Banana republic defenders. The amount of looting of the US under Biden. The advocation of reverse racism under DEI. Disgusting people in my country, and yet the audacity to continue to virtue signal. You all need to do independent thinking outside CBS, mainstream media, and Globalists.
The rule of law is the foundation of any society. Without it, it will collapse.
How exactly does one demonstrate an in-space burn at atmospheric sea level?
All it takes is one fed up secret service agent to end all of this.
Marc Elias is a force to be reckoned with. He has proven himself to be the only one willing to take on Convict 47 from the beginning of our national nightmare in 2016.
The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States is a symptom of the absolute decline of the United States of America. Once a country degrades to this degree, there’s really no way back.

Trump has always wanted to be a mob boss. You can see it in the way he stands, talks, his mannerisms, his scowl. And his vengeance and hatred.
Thank you for sharing this story. The truth is important.
We're on a very slippery slope in this country. If the rule of law breaks down it's basically a wrap for democracy.
Thank you, to the heroic men and women all who are standing up to a faciat president.
Trump needs to be removed and jailed. It needs to be done yesterday. 🤬
Marc may very well go down in history as a pivotal figure in the fightback which brought american democracy back from the brink.
Whatever the future brings, Marc will always have my utmost respect.
It's a bit late to stop the damage. Bye America it was nice to have known you.
Thank you for standing up and fighting to air this
RIP True, Justice and the American Way 😢
