>> i think the folks in new york, president trump and his family, probably had a better view than i did because they had the cctv that they were able to watch. they were actually able to see the whole thing. so they actually have a better idea of what took place inside. >> so here's the president's lawyer, neil, the president who's basically said we were not allowed -- all done behind closed doors. she comes out and says on television that, yeah, there's actually closed circuit television thing, the president and first lady were watching it the entire time. they had a better view than i did, and i was on the premises. i ask you, you know, given what we now know is in the warrant and what was in the inventory, is this -- is there any possibility that we'll be able to -- the facts now that they're being -- they're coming out, that we'll be able to -- that we'll stop, that -- some of these things are pernicious, some were funny. obviously this lawyer on behalf of donald trump is terrible. is there some chance now that we know more that there will be -- that some of these people will find it impossible to make the
but for any area within donald trump's control, that seems to me absolutely appropriate here. the warrant -- you know, as far as i can tell, it looks like other warrants in serious cases. >> so i want to go back to neil's -- the point that neil wanted to make before making -- answering the question that i asked which was his wont to go high, and i'm betting there's some things you might want to see yourself in terms of why this matters and -- and how we should -- how americans should properly think about this as we proceed into -- we've been saying all week, uncharted territory, the territory's going to get more uncharted as we go forward here. i think people are going to struggle to figure it out. give us a sense of what we should be paying attention to, what really matters about this as we head into that incognito. >> you can divide this into two categories. there's what we know and what we
adviser. phil is my friend, too, by the way. deputy national security adviser for president obama as well as an msnbc political contributor and olivia troy, a fourth friend, also here, former top aide to vice president mike pence. neil, we've got to start with you. you're the man with the law degree here. walk us through what we learned -- walk us through the warrant and the inventory and what you on the basis of everything you know take away from it. >> yeah. so to me the big headline is the former president of the united states is under investigation by the fbi for a violation of the espionage act among other things. so that to me is the headline. then it's supported by two different things. the warrant and the inventory of what was found at mar-a-lago. i'm going to start with the latter. because you know, yesterday when there were all these reports of fbi going and trying to find nuclear information or signals intelligence information, i said, look, we got to be cautious because that's just
that a president of the united states held that with such disregard is so upsetting on so many levels, but this is what we've come to see about who donald trump is and his complete disrespect for any of our rule of law, any -- any of our intelligence community, our government institutions. he has repeatedly shown that he does not care and does not ever, has not ever taken the role of the presidency and the oval office seriously. >> neil, i want to come back to you. search warrants are -- i will say i've never seen a search warrant. i won't say i've never had one searched against me, but i'm not that familiar with them. i can't tell you whether this seems like it covers a lot. when you're reading the attachment a of the search warrant, you do -- you're struck by the language. i'll put up how broad this was in terms of what the fbi was allowed to search. i'm going to read this. it says the locations -- notes
