Allies of the former president are now responding to parts of the mar-a-lago search affidavit that were released. his spokesperson released this, the release of the heavily redacted overtly affidavit shows that president biden is -- this is a grave travesty and what is unredacted only further supports president trumps position that there was no reason for a raid. it is all politics. >> gabby orr joins us now and kim and phil are back with us. we heard this before, it feels like when the trump te...

Now, it is important to note that there is a bureaucratic process the fbi had to go through with the presidential records act, so forth and so on. but it certainly also raises questions about whether this could have been done sooner given the fact that some of these documents had the highest classification, including classification that is meant to protect human sources, foreign spies, if their identity got out, their lives could be at risk. it is notable that, you know, 14 of the 15 boxes that ...

Mind, when it comes to this argument that its political, a federal judge is involved in this. federal judges by definition under the constitution are not political, theyre there for life because the framers didnt want them to worry about politics. theyre there to calls balls and strikes based on the facts and based on the law. i think we should all feel good about the fact that the system is working in this moment. >> kim wehle, phil mudd, gabby orr, thank you. new signs that inflation may be ...

With trumps team about what was taken and about these arguments about executive privilege. so that is what is stated in this letter. >> so it seems like they leaked this letter so that they could lie about the contents of it. phil -- >> which, jake, can i make one thing clear? what biden and the white house have said they have no awareness of was the search of mar-a-lago. >> right. >> they did not know that was going to happen. thats what they found out from watching cable news. its not necessar...

Its completely wrong, but thats not where 99% of republicans are at, of course. >> lets bring in former fbi and cia official phil mudd. it kind of echoes what we heard from chad wolf, the former acting homeland security secretary that somehow trump is being treated unfairly. >> yeah, i heard some of that. i look at what mike pence said recently, jim. mike pence was pretty cautious on the fbi trying to rein in that fringe of the republican party who has been attacking the fbi. so there are people...

15 years ago in islamic movements, to me in terms of leadups to violence like january 6, the model is basic. you have a group of people, a fairly large group, in this country who are angry. they have incendiary moments coming up, whether there will be charges around mar-a-lago, like moments when major politicians, maybe including the former president, say things that are incendiary, and they look at that and say putting those things together i need to act. to me thats the radicalization ive seen...

In atlanta and when maybe president trump himself will decide if he will announce the campaign. even though you have some republicans saying lets step back, if i were a practitioner in the business, i would be worried about the threat and whether that threat gets worse not better after the midterms. >> and, phil, one of the most appalling comments weve heard was this recent remark from republican house candidate karl paladino. lets listen to that. >> an administration of people who should not on...

This as the agency already investigating unprecedented numbers of threats against the bureau following the search in mar-a-lago earlier this month. among them, last weeks attack on the fbi cincinnati field office ended with an armed suspect shot and killed with a standoff with the police. foreign morale want to bring in cnn counterterrorism, phil mudd. how are you? >> prosecutors have until next thursday closed reductions, but the doj saying there are still risks to the fbi, even with reductions...
