The opportunity to argue that specific documents inside of his e-mails are privileged, but then he does something that you dont see a federal judge do often. he ordered eastman to get to work with the january 6th committee by noon today. he asked the parties to give him a joint meeting, telling him where they were and compiling that privilege log by tomorrow and then again friday. and hes ordered them back into court on monday for a hearing on the status of these proceedings. in other words, thi...

Includes this 22-page strategic communications plan thats dated december 27th. you see the subhead there in red, we have ten days to execute this plan and certify president trump. its not really a plan. its basically a set of talking points. but this is what they say is their talking points message targeted to, quote, everyone. you cannot let america itself be stolen by criminals. you must take a stand and you must take it today. again, that document, dated december 2020, saying that they had te...

Over, but something cant be handed over because of the type of document it is, because it is implicated in -- it implicates the attorney/client privilege or some other privilege that should shield it from being handed over to the court. privilege logs are a real thing. privilege logs dont look like this. what bernie kerik produced as his, quote, privilege log, this is like the bazooka bubble gum wrapper cartoon version of a privilege log. but it is his explanation to the january 6th investigator...

0 they are going to put down and lay down the law to. it >> not there yet. >> its coming, dont worry. im in communication with their kids on. this dont worry. planning the and thanks to you at home for joining us at this hour, happy new year to you as well, good to have you back with us. in washington, d.c., they celebrated the first day after the holiday by getting a huge pile of snow dumped on the capitol cap capito capital city and shutting down most of the federal government because of it....

Party. that is integrity. that is character. that is leadership. and if more people would begin to gravitate toward that, we would get back to the place where americans would see our leaders as aspirational rather than playing to the lowest common denominator. >> well, i think, jake, the rest of the party has had time to join her cause and shes the country of the party, and you see how many people are interested, one adam kinzinger is it. i want to sort of continue with what we though about the ...

That may be the case. i think the committee believes it is, and theyre hopeful that this is one result of that. >> so bernie kerik mentioned this privilege log. i was hoping you could tell us a little more about that means. but does the fact that he was only willing to turn over certain documents and not those, does that have the potential for criminal activity? >> it seems unlikely. they didnt expect 100% cooperation from everybody, but anyone they subpoenaed, they said, if youre not going to g...

The hands of the chief executive, and when a president refuses to tell the mob to stop, when he refuses to defend any of the coordinate branches of government, he cannot be trusted. >> according to new reporting from "politico," bernie kerik, the former city police commissioner and supporter of donald trump had a trove of documents he produced under a subpoena. there was a group of privileged documents he declined to provide. there was a document on a ten-day pressure campaign dom cotton vince l...

Privilege. they said this about it, keriks attorney provided the privilege log to the panel which is a file that originated on december 17th in which trump huddled in the oval office with advisors including mike flynn where they discussed the option of seizing election equipment and states, attempting to overturn. even the acknowledgment the listing of things we are not willing to talk about seems to be -- >> some of the things that are coming out are so ludicrously stupid, far fetched, so baked...

Federal investigation. well, do what bernie kerik is doing. back in january, the committee investigating the january 6th insurrection issued kerik a subpoena. at first, he said he would comply, but then he wanted an apology. fair enough. kerik has continued to place conditions on his cooperation with the investigation. this weekend, he handed over some documents while withholding others that his lawyer claims kerik is prohibited from disclosing. the documents he withheld are cataloged in a so-ca...
