Expose him as an expert level grifter, but there s something at the level of the psyche that s speaking to this sense of grievance and this sense of resentment that trumpism that trumpism attracts, and so i wonder how the lincoln project will get at that, even as they expose this grifting component of trumpism itself. sure. rick, you want to show some cards there? sure. of course. you know, eddie, first off, i couldn t love you more now that you re also a d&d guy. but i will say this. what we ve been doing for a long time is splitting off small amounts of trump s vote. we all it the bannon line. it was named by steve bannon. he said, if they split off 3% to 8% of the gop, trump can t win. we said, hold my beer. so, we re splitting off fractions at a time in the effort to weaken his base, weaken his fund-raising, to disrupt his operations, to make it harder and harder for him to be the only fish in the pond because, you know, we view donald trump still as the presumptive nominee
What then? because it s not just trump. trump is a kind of cynic you know, he s a kind of representation of a much deeper, problematic, that you ve just laid out. that is to say, he s not we re not going to remove trumpism by removing trump from the playing field. i just don t believe that s the case. we re going to have to deal with what s at the heart of the problem, and at the heart of the problem is this feeling, at least i believe so, and i think the data backs me up on this, the feeling that a certain demographic in this country believes that they are under cultural and demographic threat. so, trump could be the object of a certain kind of leftist plot to keep him from running for office, but that s not going to resolve the problem at the heart of the polity, that there are all of these people who believe what he represents, because in fact, he represents them. you always make the political profound, eddie. let me ask you this, though, as a political matter, should they pur
Measure of just the hundred classified documents. there s some reporting, charlie, i want to read about what it appears to be the least legally sophisticated argument for people like me. she plain, straight up didn t understand what executive privilege was or is, and it sounds like trump wants his modified concern path back, he can have it and is the washington. reporter:ing. with less than two years, jinl cannon does not have a record record to review while presenting untested questions to shield sensitive communications from disclosure may be applied to past occupants of the white house in conflict with their successors. former senor russ feingold who leads the constitution society which closely tracks judicial

Criminal investigation, donald trump, accusing the department of justice of unfair political targeting in the classified material investigation at mar-a-lago. but given a wave of new revelations on trump s conduct in office, freshly in our hands today, that political targeting accusation sounds more and more definitively like projection. extraordinary revelations today, courtesy of one of trump s own top federal prosecutors. his name is jeffery burrman and he was the u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. we call it sdny, one of the highest profile federal offices in our country. you might remember in what leader chuck schumer described at the time as a sordid, ham-handed plot, jeffery burman was fired, first by bill barr, and then by trump, because bill barr didn t have the authority to fire him. it was late in his term. he twice refused to resign when they first tried to get him to do that. but in the course of carrying out his duties, berman says he
