get to make up the law as he goes along. this is a legally binding subpoena. he needs to show up, provide the documents, provide his testimony and chris, if you look closely at that letter, it says over and over again, because the president is exercising executive privilege, well, guess what chris? donald trump isn t the president anymore. right. he doesn t get to decide because he sends the letter. we know the biden administration has been waiving executive privilege, letting witnesses testify ordering documents to produce, bannon doesn t get to invent his own law. now, jeffrey clark is the most interesting character in all of this to me. the doj official who helped assert lies about election fraud and really tried to architect a way around legitimizing the election. how significant to you and what
over again, because the president is exercising executive privilege, well, guess what chris? donald trump isn t the president anymore. right. he doesn t get to decide because he sends the letter. we know the biden administration has been waiving executive privilege, letting witnesses testify ordering documents to produce, bannon doesn t get to invent his own law. now, jeffrey clark is the most interesting character in all of this to me. the doj official who helped assert lies about election fraud and really tried to architect a way around legitimizing the election. how significant to you and what do you expect of his response? clark is a significant figure. he was the most senior person inside the trump justice department who was pushing for trump s coup undercover of law making outlandish statements. he circulated a letter. chris, thank goodness that his superiors, mr. donohue and mr. rosen did not go for it. they rejected it out of hand
and support him. you see, you know, a number of dozens of judges he s put on appellate courts, on federal courts. something that conservatives really relish. and i think the president understands to some degree how important this process is, how much his voters and his supporters care about it. and what s at stake here. and i think you re seeing some unusual calm now, whether that holds or not, there are lots of hours between now and monday where he may decide to take a different tact, but he s been currently convinced by kellyanne, by don mcgahn, by others, that him weighing into this fraught process is not the best course. great to see you guys. thank you. the fight for brett kavanaugh s nomination won t just play out on capitol hill. it will play out on tv screens across the country. one group buying $1.5 million worth of ads. what do they say and who are they targeting? that s next. president trump ordering documents to be declassified.
