Potentially first at an office in north virginia where trumps staffers were, and then the gsa only starts to rent out the facility in july of 2021. so thats already six months after hes left office. so its in north virginia. and then its in parts of florida, its a real problem. >> when you talk about the avalanche of information already in terms of willful retention -- okay. but now youre talking about that maybe -- i dont want to be putting words into your mouth -- but maybe this moves the need...

Portrayal. i dont think the school board red the press release from the attorney jury that said the grand jury had not been discharged. i dont see negligence? i see recless indifference. when you look at things of neglect of a minor and recklessness is the standard. i also note going through all the behavior by the school and administrations, they talked about the lawyers in school. they seemed like they wanted to indict him but they dont have a witness tampering statute in virginia. it does not...

Senator, rules committee senator. thanks for coming in. let me ask you a question. the democrats already are going to have control of the senate. 50 seats, you won 50 seats with a pick up in pennsylvania. what does it matter on a practical level in terms of control of the senate if you have 51 seats or 50 plus the harris? >> sure, let me go to the practical and then the moral. the practical is that it will make us easier to get nominations the floor. weve seen a lot of obstruction on that point....

Documents and also potentially obstruction of justice for misleading investigators whether they still had classified documents as we just discussed. when it comes to january 6th i think if i had to forecast what will likely be in the criminal referrals jamie just talked about i think theyre going to be focusing on obstruction of congress, obstructing congress from counting up the electoral votes and conspiracy to defraud the united states of a free and fair election. to jamies point itll be inte...

Republican around the country to vote in a primary for some sort of candidate who is loyal to the constitution, not to their own personal interests. >> andrew weissmann, it sounds like you are saying that, in the theoretical trial that could result in donald trump being a defendant involving charges on january 6th, that saying he wants to terminate the constitution on one day and two days later publicly saying he did not say that makes it even worse that he said it the first time because two day...

Perjury, potential evidence of witness tampering or obstruction but dont know if thats going to be the basis for their referrals. they want to make it public and want to do this quickly but theyre not there yet. you know, were already seeing signs that the committee is trying to water down the news the chairman made today. we got a statement from a spokesperson for the committee saying theyve determined that referrals to outside entities should be considered as part of the final work. so its cle...

From trump lawyers, trump aides. a list of more than two dozen of those people including everyone from rudy giuliani, jeff eastman, jeff clark, who were essentially hench men and puppeteers of donald trumps in the effort to try to block the election results from being certified. so to ask for those communications with trump or very specifically, hes going right into the hornets nest and doing it rather quickly after being named. i also think its pretty important that rather i would second what j...

President? >> its significant. to jamies point its largely symbolic. the justice department doesnt have to necessarily take up the referral. for example, tony renato sat down, the former deputy of chief ofstuff at the white house sat down with the committee who has yet to my knowledge to sit down with the grand jury. as we all remember the cassidy hutchinson testimony that was shocking and really put the ball in motion going forward, doj wasnt aware of her as a potential witness. so i think this...

Referrals to the justice department, including one for former president donald trump. cnns reporter has more. >> the clerk will call the role. >> re running up against the deadline. the house select committee investigating the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol convened privately to weigh its final moves and discuss its final report. >> we havent finished the discussion of any potential consequences including referrals yet. well be working on that in the coming days, and expect to conclude t...

Uncharged people in the federal government, to could be looking down the barrel at their own futures, i would expect a department of to think, a lot, about obstruction of an official proceeding as the sleeper hit of the uncharged january 6th investigation. it is simple, clean, and all it requires us to show that someone obstructed, it impeded, or tried to impede, the counting of votes on january 6th. >> lisa, i appreciate you push ahead. andy, as always, thank you, great christmas tree, fantasti...
