The fbis withholding other information and lack of transparency is crazy. its honestly -- it may be the first step to tyranny. they are very selective in terms of what they want out there, and we definitely want to know what theyre claiming they have as evidence. so their withholding of information is essentially controlling the flow of information, and that is the first step to tyranny. >> theyve got their talking points down. i guess the problem with lindsey and jims arguments is that their cl...

Bedminster in 2021. that would wrap radically shift our understanding of how and where the documents removed and -- obstruction case would be built, but it? not >> absolutely. because there are so many varying stories about how classified documents came to be in trumps possession, but even one of the most predominant stories is that there were a loaded into document boxes when they were -- mar-a-lago and they were stored in that storage unit in mar-a-lago. and if there were other documents in be...

I had to ask you on the account, does it matter that trump was personally directing corcoran in all of this, whether he was waving him off? how much does the direct involvement of this matter as he built the obstruction case? could walk -- waving evan corcoran off to search the office space and just search that one room in the storage area? does that matter? >> yeah, so i think its unlikely to a lawyer like corcoran will be able to take that sort of guidance from someone involved and nots positi...

Hot tub to declassify them in his own mind. those are out the door now because hes admitted that he understood there were restraints on what he could do with documents. as we know from the 16 agency letters that were disclosed two weeks ago and the multiple people who advised him to that effect from the white house counsels office upon his departure. so thats a compelling fact. this makes it easier to prove. but it wasnt -- its not in real dispute. on the other hand, it does show that hes been d...

Now, whether he will or not is, of course, for him to decide. its a strategic decision. my own view is he doesnt need to extend or compromise the obstruction case by taking on the burden of the classified documents case because he gets the full benefit of the classified documents, evidence anyway in through statements like this. so i think this makes the obstruction case more compelling. it could add the two cases, the obstruction and the possession and use of the classified information together...

This audio seems to show he does know what he has, that he cant show it, and its a big interest to the special counsel jack schmidt. >> kaitlan, thank you very much. it is incredible when you think about the reality of the fact that there are tapes. "outfront" now lets go to former trump white house lawyer ty cobb. so, ty, when weve talked about this so many times. you have told me the special counsel has an open and shut obstruction case in the classified documents probe. but now we know the sp...

Nauta to move some boxes out, nauta took some stuff out, then move them back in, its stuff in the search smith is zeroing in on where exactly were they june 3rd including ones we suspect were in trumps office and corcoran was told, you dont have to look at that stuff. so thats really concrete and knowledgeable hiding because in those 30 pages is corcoran telling trump you may not keep anything classified and obviously he did. >> you and i had a conversation about trumps long history of mishandli...

Counsel -- and that is why the movement of boxes becomes so significant. >> elie, i want to play some sound from a former trump lawyer to get your thoughts on the other side. >> all they really have to do is show that trump moved these documents at various times when doj was either demanding them or actually present. i think that this obstruction case is a tight case and yes i do think you will go to jail on it. >> imagine a ty cobb on the right side of history. this is former trump lawyer ty co...

Trying to determine whether documents removed before corker went through the boxes himself ahead of a meeting with justice department officials looking to retrieve them. this brand-new reporting, which we should mention has been independently verified by nbc news, raises a whole host of questions when viewed in terms of whether it helps to understand an essential question in the case, did on trump clearly and fragrantly commit obstruction of justice? as jack smith barrels towards a possible indi...

Pri privilege. >> the obstruction case appears to be black and white. what else is put on top of it? the special counsel obviously looking into why trump kept the documents, what he did with the documents, his motive. thats whether there was espionage. do you think the special counsel will get and present answers to those yeses? >> i think so. i think theres a lot of evidence -- the same evidence in a certain sense that goes to the question of obstruction. was he holding on to the documents whic...
