saying in may, no we don t need a search warrant, let s not do that. uhm wouldn t that be something that jacks mitt would be owed on day one so that he could have the right people in place? yes, i think so lawrence, battle on a go so far. it is possible that people just make the wrong judgment call. that can happen. and you know, so i don t want to necessarily tar any individual agent who might have thought, you know, something else for some raisins that maybe we don t know about yet. but i think that the kind of bigger picture here is at least that this leader of the field office, made a grossly wrong call. and andrew is absolutely right! the idea that you put that guy in charge of the investigation? i mean what s next for the fbi? they already botched the mechanical russian spy investigation, and they re gonna put in a charge of the investigations in the future? i mean who knows! it s a real serious problem for the fbi right now.

point about the fbi field office in d. c. is an important one. the fbi probably dropped the ball on january six that the january six report found that the fbi knew about a lot of the stuff and did not connect the dots. you know, the washington field office i m sure is part of them, said to chris way, to make unforgivable. that this has not been investigated, and that chris wray himself hasn t ordered a top to bottom review on what happened on january 6th. so you know, fbi my mind right now is not looking like the andrew weissmann fbi. we all knew about this investigation at the same moment. it was basically when donald trump told us on the day of the serving of the search warrants at his home on august 8th, i believe it was. and andrew, i remember in our first few weeks of discussing this, as i began to emerge that how long the government had been pursuing these documents that they had been pursuing them for a year and a half
