These cases, we call it what it was. we read that the special prosecutors are looking at charges for obstruction, fraud, this was an insurrection. lets call it what it was. the insurrection statute punishes not just those who participate in the insurrection but those who incite it and give aid and comfort thereto. and investigating for president trump and others around him, i think we have to call it what it is, i think it is in the national interest. >> tucker: it was, in no sense, an insurrect...

Trying to undermine this investigation even to the point of potentially obstructing it. >> obstructing. now, hang on here, because you actually use that word in a statement you put out before. you said from day one and this has to do with house judiciary chair jim jordan and others trying to get alvin bragg before the committee, you said from day one i said the so-called weaponnization sub.com was the committee to obstruct justice and as if on cue house republicans are now using the official pow...

Than 100 found during a search. could this be a game changer on the obstruction issue? since they also have mr. corcorans notes, according to these reports, of what happened and what mr. trump told him. >> andrea, it could be. theres an interesting parallel emerging. in new york, one of donald trumps former lawyers is prepared to testify against him and has already given grand jury testimony incriminating donald trump. we move down to washington, d.c., and it looks like another one of donald tru...

>> andrew, what is your face trying to tell me? >> if there are recordings that are just, you know, my private recordings instead of writing something down, i just record something, thats something that lawyers can do, and just another form of taking notes. if it was something where you and i are having a conversation, i think, oh, maybe i should record this because its going to help me with my taking notes of it and memorializing it, that is a problem, if a lawyer does that. >> david jolly, i a...

Search warrant and found hundreds more classified documents. so this is a very serious event and corcoran you know, testifying is theres no way for even the former president. to spend that as a as a positive event. i mean, he turns lawyers and the witnesses , you know, faster than any any potential defendant in the history of the criminal justice system. corcoran is either when hes forced to testify going to say that he, uh doesnt deserve to be a lawyer because he just you know its signed someth...

My god, it looks like -- >> thats getting worse. >> that took a turn yesterday that should cause trump even more concern than whats happening with the d.a. in manhattan. >> yeah, joe and mika, ive been saying from the beginning that the greatest threat to donald trumps future freedom is the mar-a-lago document matter, and for those who say that, well, pence did it, biden did it, so that somehow insulates donald trump, no, its not the possession of the documents. its the refusal to give them back...

Classified records. and so the justice department hes theyve been pursuing lots of people on the grounds of mara lago and around donald trump. corcoran is the person that is the tip of the spear of who knows what happened. he was the person having direct conversations with donald trump, and i wanted to add to what nia was saying. its not just a mishandling of classified documents. invest stig ation. they are also looking at obstruction. so this is not just building a case of what happened to the...

For national security. i also think something that andrew said is going to heighten our awareness of what seems like this somewhat procedural matter, which is donald trumps main theory or main strategy is always delay, so he very likely will appeal this ruling to the supreme court. but they dont have to take it. in fact, it would kind of be odd for them to take a case around the crime fraud exception, unless there were novel argument made which they failed to make to this point. as a country, we...

They handled within a secure place? but then you get into the potential obstruction as part of the investigation. if youre lying to the government, the government says, we know you have these. lets lets begin by returning them all, and then well have a conversation and trump repeatedly says you have them, but they didnt. they didnt and we have been reporting on the fact that there were boxes that were moved that were seen on surveillance tapes. a lot of witnesses in this investigation had been a...

All the documents. that wasnt true. that was a lie. is she guilty of obstruction? the grand jury heard from her or the doj heard from her, one of the two, and she pointed the finger at evan corcoran. i didnt draft that letter, it was evan corcoran, but you should never sign a letter you didnt draft yourself. theres evidence apparently that says that it was trump who instructed evan corcoran to make these false statements. so one of these folks is going down for this in my view. is it going to be...
