Belonged to the government, they dont belong to the former president. so all of that is the big picture of it. then what we also learn is all of this was co-mingled in these boxes. i mean, if you take an example. look at number two, the second box. this was found in the former presidents office. within that there are 99 newspaper and magazine clippings dated from 2017 to 2018. theres confidential documents, theres secret documents, top secret documents. some of these nonclassified but government...

Out where this information may have been viewed, gone, been seen by, or not. you know, that would be important too, for them to determine, you know what, these documents just sat in the offices and basements or locations within mar-a-lago and didnt get out. that would be important to know as well. but at some point i think the classification level of the documents and the volume of classified information is what is driving the intensity of this investigation, which clearly is ongoing. >> elie, t...

Waste of time and a red herring. he also said loud and clear that his old boss brought this on himself by taking what did not belong to him, refusing to give it back and he seemed to suggest perhaps obstructing justice with his legal team deceiving investigators. >> i think the driver on this from the beginning was, you know, loads of classified information sitting in mar-a-lago. people say this was unprecedented. its also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and...

And thats really the basic premise that is underlying all of this. i do think that the fact that so much of this information was classified, including lots of information at top secret levels, compartmented programs, really highly classified information, that is what would have lit the fire under the justice department to at some point say we cant wait anymore. weve been engaged in a dialogue for as long as we could. we need to get these documents back and do the damage assessment led by the int...

Others seeking favors with the kremlin, you know, exactly how connected he is to vladimir putin or the kremlin is open to interpretation but its quite possible, its possible and its alleged that kilimnik took this information which is the raw material of any campaign and conveyed it to the russians. we need to know exactly what happened there. >> according to bloomberg news, prosecutors as evan was getting to, prosecutors here in manhattan in the d.a.s office are now preparing state criminal cha...

Know how hell comport himself in terms of does he seem reliable, someone actually now telling the truth? he is going to jail for not telling the truth after he had a plea arrangement so hes got sort of a background. on the other hand, we have yet to hear from anyone in trumps inner circle disclose this kind of information not about the specifics, though those are relevant but simply about how did trump keep, you know, his empire so to speak together, right n. terms of all the smoke and mirrors, ...

Risks to the president. >> carrie, is there any line do you think that when hes facing capitol hill cohen next week thats going to say thats privileged communication between me and donald trump? >> i think its pretty unlikely. the fact of the matter is, the president says what is convenient based on the circumstances of a particular day. so when he thinks its convenient when that first search took place of michael cohen, that harry mentioned, when that first took place he thought it was convenie...

We believe so, simply because this is one of the last times that the prosecutors and the special counsel have to essentially lay this all out before paul manafort is sentenced in early march. so thats what were looking for from this filing and then, of course, today comes news from "the new york times" from bloomberg that are reporting that even if paul manafort gets a pardon after he gets sentenced here in federal court, that the prosecutors in new york in new york state are looking to bring st...

And there have been so many spin-offs from the special counsels investigation that have spun cases off to the u.s. attorneys office and the district of columbia. to the u.s. attorneys office in the southern district of new york. others as well, eastern district of virginia, just to name three. so there are so many and those dont have a limit on when they have to end, complex financial investigations, white collar crime investigations can take time so i think with michael cohen coming back, what ...

Unclear what he said. could the president have been saying we want a paper trail? >> i dont know. it doesnt matter what he is saying, laura, in terms of your question. i agree completely with professor dershowitz. theres no indication of a crime here. it may end up that it establishes the president lied, which is certainly a serious matter. i understand he said he didnt know anything about the payment by the parent company of "national enquirer." thats very different as to whether or not there w...
