i do not know if it has gone out, i will take a look. very soon. reporter: what they are referencing, hutchinson and the other concerns, the detailed indictment that we saw last week. serious national security implications. what you said there was important. trump is innocent until proven guilty. when you look at that and you see his conduct that has alleged in lightning, is that becoming of the former commander in chief and republican front runner? what i will say, bill barr is even said this. you just showed it s not always president trump sign on some of these issues but he said it is like a two-tiered system of justice. if you look back at hillary clinton, she had 2000 classified documents, 22 of them were deemed top-secret. she had eight different blackberries that were never investigated by the fbi and she has let off scott free and then you see a totally different standard of justice for donald
Girlfriended though not highly qualified. and here she is two years in about to handle one of the most significant cases in the histors of the country. yeah,of neil, can we talk abn the case and what makes it different from most cases and what these thorniest aspects of this are. are the question of executive ec privilege, national security implications, is it just the actual defendant and who he is? i meannd what do you think abou this case is trickiest on its face? yeah, there isn t any executive privilege issue. i mean donald trump sees executive privilege in anything, but back in the reality based world in which you and i live, there s noin executive privileg claim in this case. i do think classified privilege claims are difficult and take somecl time. and it s there you really want the experience. fact she s had four prior criminal trials is one thing, but tois really have no prior
Had in his possession. this iran-related document is at the heart of this investigation. you are talking about the former president acknowledging that he had classified material and, one, that potentially had broad implications, national security implications if any other eyes were laid on it. i think it s important to note, it was the town hall earlier this month in which he was asked, did anybody see any of these classified documents, and he said, quote, not really. what this recording now suggests is that this is a much deeper conversation than the former president is allowing the american public to be privy to. yesterday, sean hannity did not ask a single follow-up question when he deied doing anything wrong. at the heart of the question here, which laura is getting to, is that mike pence worked with the department of justice to open up his home and turn over
I think it was actually you pointed out it was his. pete: first it was an adult. rachel: dad or something. getting assists from his staff. from kids. it s getting so obvious. and that s why you see nikki haley saying what she said which is listen, let s be honest. if joe biden runs, i m going to actually be running against kamala harris because they are not he is not going to make it through this. can i just say one last thing? pete: of course. rachel: it has serious national security implications. his mental blunders, as you saw with the ukraine war, when he was asked about a possible russian incursion he said well, if it s a small incursion, and a lot of people think that s what gave, you know, the green light to the russians to invade. so, very serious topic. pete: you are right. we laugh because we don t have an alternative because it s deadly serious and you are exactly right. rachel, i will see you in 10 hours and 22 minutes, something like that. thank you so much.
