All loonl. you can get 20 years for obstruction. >> yeah. that is why im asking. dave aronberg, thank you very much for being on this morning. ond and so chris christies presidential campaign just two days old and his messaging surrounding donald trump is taking shape in a new interview, he outlines why he believes trump won the nomination in 2016 and why this time will be different. >> in 2015 and 16, we ran the first time, you had a situation where donald trump had no record to speak of. he ...

Think so because they searched mar-a-lago. they pressed lawyers to do their own searches of other locations where we know materials turned up. so prosecutors are very interested in what they knew about what had not been turned over early in the investigation. >> so take us through the book f you will. if youre a prosecutor, youre looking through federal law what charges might i be able to bring here. trump in this audio recording says he has a classified document. he said he took classified docu...

Fact, a target of a classified documents investigation. in other words, he believes he has evidence indicating trump committed a crime. and another new detail not about when, but where, charges would likely be brought. "the washington post" now reporting that a, quote, significant portion of any charges against trump will be brought in south florida close to mar-a-lago. trumps former defense attorney tim parlatore was on "the last word" last night, and he talked about the shift in place. >> if y...

Or put them in different areas of his own property, can he then subsequently charged with obstruction for moving what is later determined to be his own property? thats a significant question for the doj to consider in a case like this. so the obstruction is something that is separate. it doesnt require a finding that the classification status was one way or the other but it is a significant consideration for prosecutors in proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he intended to obstruct an investi...

The sort of thing that should never be in an unsecured location out or out of hands. thats what the fbi found and from then on the investigation continued as to whether or not there was obstruction of justice and trying to get back records from donald trump, an effort that continued into this year whenever the justice department said turn over a record we believe donald trump was talking about on an audio recording waving around in a room and even then trumps attorneys were unable to locate that...

Allegedly helped with obstruction like walt nauta who allegedly moves the are documents. he lied saying he never moved the documents until a surveillance camera proved him wrong. and also an assistant who started asking questions about the cameras where they were placed. and so i think that there are two reasons why they have the grand jury down here. i think that it is to make sure that there is a proper venue for trump. so exciting times ahead. >> and obviously grand jury transcripts and grand...

Here in d.c., but theres probably a stronger argument to say that then you should be in southern florida because depends, of course, what the charge would be, but if the charge is retaining documents, thats where they were retained. if the charge is obstructing justice, if thats where the acts of obstruction took place, that, of course, would make venue in southern florida an easier argument. if they choose to go with the tougher argument, they can certainly expect to face appeals and legal chal...

Bribed by $10 million by an executive while joe biden was vice president. this explodes on the same day. do you see any coincidence there? >> it would be difficult, if youre being honest about it, to not sort of see how this all seems to play out on the very same day of explosive -- possible explosive charges involving the current president. but given that weve been sort of following the tiktok for a while, this does not surprise me. what i predicted would happen was this would happen on a frida...

Could happen there. so do you think that that is better or worse for the prosecution? >> its different for the prosecution and it all depends on where different crimes were alleged to have been committed. retention is different from possession is different from obstruction and is different from destroying a document and those might have happened in washington, d.c., and some might have happened in florida and you can only charge it where the law says it that happened. it looks like theres a clea...

Biden doj and the fbi, selective prosecution to punish political enemies but he runs a protection racket for joe biden and his son. you know, garland has taken a dispute over documents thats governed exclusively by a civil statute, the presidential records act and garland has decided im going to criminalize it by contorting the law but then discovers oh, gee, joe biden, my boss did the same thing. okay, now im going to shift to obstruction claiming that trump wasnt cooperative. the professor is ...
