Donald trump was mistaken, maybe there were boxes everywhere, he didnt keep track of everything. he genuinely thought this is all we have, then his lawyers would say, fine, ill say that to the archives, but when his lawyers say, no, mr. trump, i cant say that or wont say that, because its reasonable to assume it did, then donald trump knows these are not all the documents. that statement you want me to make to archives is a misrepresentation. >> lets turn to the lawsuit -- the case, the trial go...

>> i just want to correct one thing. ginni thomas is not a great woman. she is a true believer who lives in crazy town. i do not think shell be a very helpful witness to the january 6 committee because she believes trumps lies. for those who think its perjury that she lied, no matter how bonkers it is. it appears she was trying to get the states to block the certification of votes, then she could be charged down the road with obstruction of an official proceeding or conspiracy to defraud the uni...

Official government communications devices, which means that all of their communications warrant storage. which is required under record retention acts. that if they have high-ranking officials who are using private phones, using signal, using other forms of non governmental human occasions. i suspect well see a pretty vigorous effort to see those back. if you combine this with the sort of obstruction that we see at mar-a-lago, it could become of interest ideology. >> peter, one of your recent a...

That honestly saved his life. neil: when im looking at this, obviously, it happens very quickly. it looks like you were on main floor level trying to assess things and then saw this. maybe you could tell me, you know, how you got out of there, because you could have drowned. >> yeah. that handrail saved my life. and you can see it on the last frames of the video as i get pushed up share welshing i managed to grab on to that, then i ran up the stairs barefoot and slipping everywhere because i was...

I take from this that they are moving swiftly and doing everything they can to run down all of these classified documents, and by way of doing that, they want to look at the unclassified documents as well because they will provide clues to them. and close to a jury of criminal charges are brought. >> do you think that, also, just wanting to get their hands on the 11,000 documents may fold into a potential investigation for obstruction? it seems kind of like, in the words of one of our legal anal...

Just wanting to get their hands on the 11,000 documents may fold into a potential investigation for obstruction? it seems kind of like, in the words of one of our legal analysts, the sleeper kind of story here is that even if he set aside the classification bit, the obstruction charge could stick with the 11,000 documents. >> the instruction could stick on any of the documents. and apparently, folks with in trumps orbit have potentially made misrepresentations about those and its those represent...

Donald trump itself? those are obviously the types of questions that the january six committee are looking at. what carroll referred to about the secret service part, they may be looking at that as well. but it is going to be hard for prosecutors to link trump at least directly with seditious conspiracy as opposed to some of the other charges that have been levied against him but for example a federal judge in california, like regular conspiracy, or obstruction of a federal proceeding. those are...

The center, getting his hands dirty, and thats where i guess he loves to be. and i will be interested to see what the committee has uncovered with regard to his role. >> its a great point, because theyve already been through this movie once before, in which stone place this kind of, sort of, plausible deniability, off book, roland a former adviser, kind of running ups that can, that are officially part of, you know, sanctions. but he can talk to other people, and he was convicted by a jury of wi...

When they were trying to count the votes in the hanging chats. it goes back to roger stone being a point man and the whole russian conspiracy, where he was dealing with russian agents who had the stolen documents from the democratic national committee. it was also dealing with julia -- julian assange and others from wikileaks who had the stolen documents and were releasing them to the public. so registering has been a key figure throughout all of this. you wound up being convicted for obstructio...

Through his lawyers that he had returned everything. this is what they found after that. and so it is obstruction, fall statements, it is so many other things. his lawyers are thick in the middle of it, which makes them a target for the federal investigation, and also opportunities to flip against donald trump himself. >> glenn kirschner, as a former federal prosecutor, what do you see in the maggie haberman interviews, stacking it up with the evidence as we know it? >> i see donald trump making...
