Over a beautiful, sunny weekend earlier this month (May 17-19), commercial litigators and judges from all over the State converged on Saratoga Springs and the beautiful Gideon Putnam...

Take mike pence, for example. he took contemporaneous notes of his conversations with president trump. he provided a direct account of their conversations, when only the two of them were present. we knew, generally, the circuit select committee knew, generally, what happened to those conversations. but its really powerful to have a participant in the conversation recount it. i think pat cipollone has given some additional information that he stopped short of providing to us, because of privilege...

Either for moral or informal that he gave to the january six committee. as you know, and as tim, knows extraordinarily thorough in covering the full landscape of folks involved in election interference efforts from folks involved in extremist movements to those at the highest levels of the white house. they really covered the range. will russell, not only wasnt among those witnesses, he wasnt a name that really came up at all. hes not mentioned in the report. at least in my experience of reviewi...

Financial services companies, such as banks, credit unions, lenders, finance companies, loan servicers, broker-dealers, and securities firms, often receive subpoenas from parties in...

Mar-a-lago and met in person with donald trump and his lawyers in june. but we now know thats not true. and nowhere in the motion where theyre advertising their voluntary and complete cooperation did they talk about the fact that a supposed custodian of records for the president who is not designated as one of the people who has permission to access donald trumps presidential records, has no security clearance whatsoever as far as we know, there is no acknowledgment of that statement having been...

Some of those folks including the people close to the former vice president mike pence testified of course and select committee showing donald trumps concerted effort to overturn the election, how much of that is a focus of the investigation too. that is a question here. and also the committee is providing this information to the justice department. so whether they are pursuing similar lines here, donald trumps role, it appears that they might be. >> is there a clear line on this privilege quest...

Then would have to be in a position where you have some privilege issues. and one thing which remember, but weve seen so often in these january six hearings is that the committee knows more than we do. so now we need to see thus the grandeur no more than we do. does georgia know more than we do? and thats going to be one place that i think over the coming. and they know more than those witnesses due to, so it could go either way. but it could also go really bad. >> either way, well be watching a...

Own manu raju about the fest bump in the air. is this a feather in the cap for somebody whos a 2024 republican prospect to say ill come in and talk to you. >> if you say, ill come if had and talk to you and thumb your nose to a grand jury, good luck with that, or a january 6th committee, you can benefit from that. if you stall, you could benefit as well, but you might need to be in a position where you have privilege issues. what weve seen so often in the january 6th hearings is the committee kn...

They, you know, purge themselves of the contempt, if thats the case. i think this is a delaying tactic, and i agree with shannon exactly. this is -- you know, this is the kind of thing that they have been preparing for. they knew it was coming. they have got their legal briefs all ready to go as soon as it happens. >> so have the people -- im sure. and obviously were talking about the former president donald trump. but there are a lot of people who want to be the next republican president. im su...

Opposed to being updated by it. theyre really going to have to get someone who is dealing directly with him to testify. so that probably means giving one of these people immunity, ultimately, so they can talk about the conversations where trump is being updated. or maybe he was actually running the show. we dont know. we know he knew about the scheme, but we dont know how involved he was. >> things like attorney client privilege. how does that play and department of justice with somebody like ea...
