Rachel Maddow discusses the increasingly obvious connections between the Trump team and Russia, and dares the Jeff Sessions Justice Department to do their job.

"The question is whether this Justice Department is independent enough to stand up for the rule of law on matters this serious. If it's not, if under Jeff Sessions the Justice Department is just going to be another part of this same scheme, this scheme that we're seeing unspool every day with each strange new revelation in the press, If the Justice Department's just going to be part of it, rather than part of fixing it, then we are going to need a different kind of remedy to fight back against what Russia has already done to our government, what Russia has already done to our election system, what Russia has already done to us, and what apparently they are still working on doing."

This was another great segment, and Rachel did an amazing job of laying out all of the threads and then essentially challenging the Justice Department to follow them to their obvious conclusions.

By the way while we are on the topic, here is Scott Dworkin's analysis of that Russian Dossier.

It is actually quite interesting.
