- mueller, that july, testifies in a very clearly lackluster performance to congress. - the finding indicates that the president was not, uh. - trump not only felt this sense of exoneration, he also had this sense of vengeance. - i think robert mueller did a horrible job both today and with respect to the investigation. - he did nothing wrong and he wasnt involved in collusion, and he wasnt involved in obstruction. - and its in this mindset, where that morning, trump picks up the phone for a cal...

Cant indict a sitting president, merrick garland should have pulled back last week, and said, you know, up onl reflection we should decriminal our effort heres. a president has never been prosecuted, a former president, under the espionage act or obstruction related to presidential record actions that does not have a criminal aspect, we tried to pave new territory, by overreaching, criminalizing the situation with trump, what they decided is, i guess we have to have a special counsel with biden,...

On the lot. the mere possession of ten or whatever number of classified documents is not any kind of crime. in fact, the kinds of crimes donald trump was being investigated for related to obstruction because he was heightening or -- you asked whats going on here. i have to agree with dean. donald trump was a serial arsonist, crime after a crime that when he came into office, merrick garland could have investigated. the places burning. he sees one with of smoke and he thinks, lets call in the fir...

Matter. 282 days have elapsed. 282. we can start with how on november the 4th 2022 the doj was contacted by merit and white house lawyers about the newly discovered when biden logs. by january 12th, 2023, this past thursday, he had signed the order of the special counsel. a mere 69 days later -- >> im confident that mr. hurt will carry out his responsibility in and even-handed and urgent matter and in accordance with the highest traditions of this department. >> 280 to slow, plotting days to inv...

Classified documents, to be honest. my concern is how there is such a discrepancy in how former president trump was raided and getting the security cameras and taking pictures of documents on the floor by going through milanias closet. there have been so many investigations of president trump i dont think we have to spend a lot of time investigating president trump because the democrats have done that for the past six years. >> lets be clear, in fact, the congressman there, even a federal judge ...

The white house that they were going to see multiple requests into things like the afghanistan withdrawal, how covid money was spent, all of that was expected. but in recent weeks its clear that people on both sides, republican and democrat think this is a gift for republicans. it puts democrats in the space of having condemned former president trump for doing something that was similar, though very different in terms of the bstruction that was done, at the same time we watched them this weekend...

Nothing like the obstruction that was going on in team trump. you know, where donald trump, as we reported at the "washington post," where donald trump told one of his lawyers he wanted him to assert in february that all classified records had been returned. everything had been properly returned. that was just false on its face and that lawyer at the time refused to do so. later a lawyer for donald trump in june asserted that all of the classified records complied -- compliant with the subpoena ...

At the end of the day the house republican majority may end up being the white houses friend here if they overreach on this. i mean, they are very different in terms of the obstruction. we dont believe that there is any obstruction in the biden case here. but it simply has taken away the moral high ground of this presidency and the white house, that they -- claim that they had in this case. so thats why it is messy for them. >> one reason we have pictures hes referring to, why we know so much ab...

Law, and thats what you do with the department, facts matter, and the law matters and if the case is different, it is okay to treat cases differently but merrick garland will be in a position to look at the two and see whether the differences are significant and material and to compare them to each other and also all of the other cases that the department has looked at. so i dont know that the special counsels need to confer, because merrick garland at the end of the day will see both cases. and...

More pages today. we are still talking about -- the first batch was fewer than a dozen. so, we are still talking about fewer than, probably, 20 to 30 documents. whereas, for president trump it is over 300 documents. and then the main thing, alicia, is that there is a case for obstruction around the former presidents handling of his classified documents. it does not appear to be the case with president biden. as we have said, they have come forward, they have been talking about what how it was ha...
