Republicans will say, i think, somewhat justifiably, if you go back and look at hillary clinton and some of the previous episodes, republicans are prosecuted and democrats arent. that makes a huge perception problem for the justice department. >> it is interesting because i remember the "meet the press" this week that said the pence documents were good for biden and great for trump. i thought it was brilliant because what you see is a muddying of the waters. it is hard for americans to see class...

He got passed other at the white house was should the first lady and the president be going back to wilmington, is it not potentially a, quote, crime scene, and he was ripped for saying that that. but now we know there have been additional discover of documents so, again, its that perception problem for the doj. this is a headache for the white house but also for her you can garland whos going -- merrick garland whos going to have to answer questions about why they were allowed to come and go. i...

Mar-a-lago is the former president didnt know they were coming. his attorneys were on site quickly, they demanded to see the search warrant, but this was not negotiated in advance. now, bidens supporters and the white house, theyre going to continue to say its because were cooperating, and we invited or offered them access to come over. obviously, the conversations that have been going on leading up to the raid on mar-a-lago had gone much more differently. but that thats where the perception pro...

They seem very uncomfortable, sort of like cats on a hot roof, with their sinking public approval. so im going to guess they would like to be held in higher regard. one of the problems -- and i remember mitch mcconnell in the studio when trump was a candidate saying, yeah, im going to support him and he had to crinkle that piece of paper. it was the federal societys list of judicial nominees that trump had committed to appointing if he won. it looks very rigged on the right, that theres a list, ...

Unresolved issues in that. and they never come back to that. it would not be uncommon -- and they can cite that as a reason that the 2015 audit was delayed, but it would not be in common from what ive been told from people who work at the irs, for subsequent audits to be put on hold until something of that size progressed. but the upshot, youre right, is that he was not completely audited during those years. the irs makes clear they have no aspiration to completely audit him. theyre foxing on a ...
