want a strong presidency. they used a strong presidency. they believe in a strong presidency. and under this theory, it is really the current president who has the power and the power over all of the parts of the executive branch. so the idea that a previous president could come in and do something like exert executive privilege really chips away at that. and you have people on the bench, i m not sure about the 11th circuit, but certainly on the supreme court who would not want to see that chipped away at. they want this theory, they ve been pushing for this theory. the federalist society was founded in part because there was a strong belief in this theory. and now to see judge cannon in her decision sort of weaken it in any way i think is anathema to a lot of folks which is why you re seeing republicans like chris christie, like bill barr, come out and say this ruling shouldn t stand. barbara, you tweeted this the most outrageous statement in the court s order is her rejection of
frenzied push to fill the federal bench, six out of 11 of the judges on the 11th circuit are trump appointees. the ruling came in a ten-page filing where she announced her appointment of a special master. it s a man by the name of raymond dearie. senior district judge for the earn district of new york. dearie has until november 30th to conduct his review. over a month longer than the october 17th deadline that doj had asked cannon to set for the review. this is where we begin with some of our favorite reporters and friends. new york times justice reporter katie benner is here and the aforementioned barbara mcquaid is here, u.s. attorney, now law professor at the university of michigan. both msnbc contributors. katie, where are we, and what can you tell us about it seems that doj was prepared, they had already put forward the possibility of appealing to the 11th circuit. but that s where we are.
the opinion i think was wrong, and i think the government should appeal it. it s deeply flawed in a number of ways. i don t think the appointment of a special master is going to hold up, but even if it does, i don t see it fundamentally changing the trajectory. in other words, i don t think it changes the ball game so much as maybe we ll have a rain delay for a couple of innings. i think the justice department s chances are pretty good, and i think they are because their main thrust is that some of these may be covered by executive privilege. there s only one executive who can assert the privilege, the one who s the correct second current executive, joe biden. hi, again. 5:00 in new york. how bad was the judge s ruling to grant a special master in the case of the ex-president s mishandling of classified documents? you know the answer it was so bad that trump s own former ag
drugs. mike green berg and mike golic, thanks for being with me. thank you. why do you think the jury did not convict him? why not? ultimately i think the only real witness that mattered in all of this was brian mcnamee and in and as far as unimpressive witnesses he may go to the top. this is something mike golic could have torn apart on the witness stand. it worked out well for roger clemens that way. his reputation is permanently damaged, don t you think? there s no doubt about it. it is the court of public opinion, i don t think is going to change much on him as far as their thoughts of him using performance enhancing drugs and the ultimate test will be the hall of fame. the writers have kind of made the decision if you re touched with peds, you re not getting into the hall of fame. i completely disagree with that train of thought. if you have numbers to be in the hall of fame, you should be in the hall of fame. if you want another way to talk about that that s
