Or a vice president. the presidential records act does not apply to her. if you are apply anything st is espionage act and that does not apply, but okay, fine. they didnt investigate her for obstruction. even though they destroyed her past cell phones with hammers, have you tried that. so they never investigated her, or obstruction or perjury even though there were existi exist. >> she gets away scot-free. no s.w.a.t. team, why? bill clinton and the socks case for years he is recording and top-s...

Documents and that his unwillingness to turn them over amounts to obstruction, but i think whats really striking about this is republicans in congress as well as some of donald trumps 2024 presidential rivals are kind of leaning into what donald trump is saying and the excuses hes making for having these materials whereas mark esper and bill barr are not. i think thats why its very interesting to hear where they differ on this from the rest of the republican party, rahel. >> alayna treene, thank...
