And the amount of information in there was absolutely stunning at the time. i mean, it was shocking at the time. that they had such a powerful case already. simply by virtue of the fact they found the stolen property in his office and at his home. so the fact of the matter is he could have been indicted months ago. and again, if it was one of us, he would have been indicted months ago. he has gotten special treatment in his favor. and that is not a criticism of the justice department. its a stat...

The former president. maggie, i want to start with you. what are you hearing? >> well, i think everyone is still in shock who is hearing the news, both people around the former president and frankly people across the political spectrum, because we have been hearing the drip, drip of this case for so long. his team was prepared for this to happen this week. didnt have information that it is going to. seven counts a s a lot. we dont know exactly what all of the charges are yet. well have to see wh...
