Thats not on the president thats on the national archives to sort that material out. >> what do you make of that, preet? theyre pointing the finger at everybody but themselves, obviously. >> thats standard operating procedure for the former president and the people around him. on the notion they declassify this information before he left the white house and before the documents were transported to mar-a-lago, interesting point. wheres the evidence of that? wheres the evidence he followed the pro...

Both domestically and internationally, the threats toward taiwan of course. what i see happening here is an innovation from the biden administration. something we saw before russia, before putin invaded ukraine. which is declassifying information to warn the american people, to warn american businesses about what is happening. and i think it is fantastic. i think that we need to know what theyre doing so that we could be vigilant. and we dont have to overreact. we dont want to return to the cold...

Investigation that -- into an investigation that lasts longer than an investigation, and i would be shocked, shocked if there is one criminal conviction in this entire thing. but there will be a lot of headlines. >> oh, yeah. >> and there are a lot of people making assumptions that are going to look really foolish months from now but they dont care because theyre just gaslighting and they will just continue. >> and it is an effort to change the subject from the investigation into january 6th. th...

What were they doing? why did they send this letter? >> they said that they, first of all, paid attention to what mika referenced which is the attorney generals filing in january and some of the filings that the attorney general says theyve come up with in the course of their civil investigation. on top of that they said they had their internal investigation and received information from inside the company and outside the company that led to them making this decision. they said they have a non-w...

Spying? >> quite the opposite, joe. one of the things thats contained in that court filing that mika was just reading from, there is no mention at all that sussman when he presented information to a second u.s. agency in february of 2017, which we know to be the cia, that when he presented that information he was not being paid by the clinton campaign anymore. there was no, according to his lawyers in a filing made last night, there was no clinton campaign anymore. >> so you look at the "new yor...

Deflated the price of properties, or does it mean someone further down the line doctored the documents and changed the numbers? >> it is the right question and probably too soon to say. accountants will tell you theyre only as good as the information theyre provided. so if they were provided with the wrong types of information, they were not provided with the underlying documentation or somebody instructed them to make material changes to it, those are all the types of things we will have to see...

Starts. thats an information warfare campaign. i think the biden administration has done a phenomenal job of declassifying information, calling putins bluff, saying any predicate he might concoct to invade is fabricated. in that way they maintained alliance unity, deterred putin, allowed us to close our embassy, move 5,000 troops to poland and send a clear signal if putin invades the west will be ready. i think the biden administration has handled this stage, stage zero, absolutely perfectly. >>...
