it s a stingray. it is a locked garage. my neighbor s garage was locked when broken into. that persuades the american people that he not only took his oath of office seriously but that he s actually protecting our national security? and here s the deepest question of all. we talkea moment ago about merrick garland appointing the special counsel. harris: and on november 18th, merrick garland announced the department of justice a special counsel with the mar-a-lago document case. they were discovered november 2nd conveniently before midterms but we didn t hear about it until just now. and david spunt points out, national archives notified the doj merrick garland but we do not know when garland was specifically notified of the biden documents. it would be surprising if garland was not aware of the biden documents when he
about it. emily: i don t know about that, leslie. did you get that shot of me on my bicycle? this guy has been a social media prop. bill: you have to explain that. he was going to the white house, and he drove between the office building at the white house. harris: which is one end of the studio to the other. [laughter] emily: he took the bicycle else, drove a half a block on film and ride your bike to work day and my commitment to going green and having everyone get on bicycles. bill: he got out at that location because that is where the cameras could see him. emily: exactly, exactly. to your point i would love the cameras delayed along with millions of others who didn t get to see their family members over christmas. didn t get to see their sons and daughters over hanukkah or luggage with the family heirloom pier there is so much. harris: after two plus
this afternoon. harris: congressman cohen where the new chairman of oversight in the house now is on the committee as the news was breaking last hour with the president. so on and so forth with mccarthy and he said he s not a big fan of special counsel of the situation because it is a political pick. he s not sure if he can trust it, especially based on the fact. what are your thoughts, how do we get the information that we were kept from having as media and public for two months? we don t even know what we don t know. no, we don t know what we don t know. the fact that they were found november 2nd and the fact numerous democratic campaigns used the mar-a-lago documents issue as a hammer on some republican candidates and the term elections, we will not find out until january that this is all going on. that is another big question. when did the president specifically know this was an issue? and was it beholden on the white house to come out until the public at that point?
it certainly doesn t benefit the families. but how in the legal scope of things and you did the interview and i didn t see it but i wish i had. but how in the legal scope of things does that change the case or impact the case? or is that how it always rolls? people and judges rule in the system when they are available and you go from there? it is frankly not to have it drug on like this. this calendar does not surprise me. i m not at all so surprised. the burden is on the state to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt and all the defense has to do harris: do you put in a gag order? what happens in those six mo months? be two to be clear, if a judge issues a gag order it will be because they feel the media plays a larger part than it should appear at the jury pool might be tainted or things are being the judge ordered the defendant?
documents? the president spoke to this personally. he spoke to this personally. again, he believes personalized documents and information should be taken seriously. white house officials continued to say president biden s personal lawyers did everything right once they realized they were classified documents somewhere that they shouldn t be. but they are not telling us at least yet how the documents got there in the first place, harris. harris: peter, great reporting as always. let s go to washington, d.c., with satellite bret baier. brett, talk to me about what we saw the speaker of the house because we know that congress was going to look into potentially the first batch when that came about but now there are multiple locations that nbc news is reporting that the staff are looking at. biden team attorneys. i think with the change over the house, you are going to see a lot of questions and a lot of focus on this in various committees and obviously with
