last night asked that investigators regain access to 125 documents found in that search of mar-a-lago. that is part of the extraordinary appeal to cannons order which politico puts like this, it aims to a full-throated rebuke of the ruling by cannon, a trump appointee who was confirmed to a seat after trumps defeat in the 2020 election. prosecutors used the filing to describe her ruling as a danger to national security and one ignorant to the counterintelligence work and lacking in an ...

Some baseball game on some childs rec league where we have to make things fair, you know, got to -- we have to give them a few runs. no. theres -- thats not how it works. theres nothing normal about this. i think people are going to be liable, because theyre outside the scope of their employment when they do this kind of thing. i think, and hope, they will be sued. >> eddie glaude, i want to bring you in. we learned from mr. berman that john kerry was also targeted for investigation and prosecut...

Measure of just the hundred classified documents. >> theres some reporting, charlie, i want to read about what it appears to be the least legally sophisticated argument for people like me. she plain, straight up didnt understand what executive privilege was or is, and it sounds like trump wants his modified concern path back, he can have it and is the washington. >> reporter:ing. with less than two years, jinl cannon does not have a record record to review while presenting untested questions to ...

Presidency. that is bill barr. and the combination of those two, one in doj, the other leading the executive branch, leading the free world, leads in some ways to the erosion, the very assault on the basic foundations of our democracy. can you imagine deploying the fbi, the doj, to, you know, indict and convict your political opponents? that runs against everything that a democracy stands for. heres more evidence. the question is, what are we going to do with it? weve been asking ourselves all a...

That there is a much broader reporting under way that may ensnare trumps accomplices. the subpoena sought information about communications with a range of people, many of them lawyers who were also listed on earlier subpoenas that focused on the fake elector plan. among the lawyers appearing as subjectses of interest on both sets of subpoenas, jenna ellis and kenneth chesboro with the fake elector scheme. the people who were a party to the same criminal acts. >> well, i cant weigh in on the lega...

What happened. and so should kerry, who we learned from this reporting was a target of trump. >> kerry was a target for criminal prosecution, and whats made clear in what the "times" is reporting about the berman book, mike schmidt, is something that you reported about the mueller investigation. what trump tweeted very clearly directed his justice department. i mean, trump attacks kerry, the justice department, and sdny is asked to investigate john kerry, i think, for violations of the logan act...

Nominations says trump in his republican allies sought out judicial nominees like cannon showing an overwhelming preference for individuals often lacking the experience previously considered necessary to sit on the bench. this reporting, i think, makes clear that she was targeted by truck and im not nearing anything close to sympathy. she made her own bed and she gets to lie it in now and its laying bare at trumps cravenness. >> also, look, i think it is very heartening that the department of ju...

Or anything close to by the book. consider this from our friend and colleague, barbara mcquade, who reviewed the book in the "washington post." "berman reserved his strongest criticism for barr, calling him a bully, and his behavior, thuggish. upon taking office, barr tried to kill the southern districts ongoing investigations relating to the campaign finance crimes to which michael cohen had already pleaded guilty. the reference in plea documents to individual one made apparent that trump fashi...

House. it was the biggest scam in political history. every dollar you sent him paid to keep his shaky business empire and lavish lifestyle going. it was a suckers game all along. and you know who the sucker is? its you. >> its the new lincoln project ad that has gotten under trumps skin, delivering an inconvenient and difficult truth to trumps supporters, that in the end, all that he wanted was to sucker and scam them with his big lies about election fraud so that they would become regular -- th...

Brazen saying again and again in black and white saying not a dollar of this will go to us, and only 100,000 and the yacht and that is so clear to prove and that matters in a fraud case where intent can be tricky. this looks pretty bad, but trumps statements of election fraud and some of the things like the 5 million that you just showed to the january 6th committee, they might be able to argue about. it sure smells as a fraud to me and not as rank and as clean and easy as the bannon case that h...
