Leniency and flexibility for the judge here to control his courtroom and to punish people for violating his orders but he could hold the former president in contempt, which is what he warned the former president about today. he could fine him. he could potentially exclude evidence or make other evidentiary rulings based on this contempt order and in theory, if it were bad enough, and i wouldnt think he would do this on the first violation, but even send him to jail. >> its interesting, david, th...

Newly-emboldened justice department. did you see it that way? >> i do, alex. it is nice to finally see a party in court on his side of the field. he will just grind you down with frivolous motion after frivolous motion, and delay, delay, delay. that is what he does. it is clear that this team is not doing that. as a former prosecutor, i also see this effort to hold him in contempt as a win-win. you can have the court leave it in contempt and get the documents back, or the fact that he will not t...
