reasonable chance of this judge granting his request for a special master. i noted that a bunch of msnbc legal commentators attacked you. have they apologized at all. have they acknowledge thad were wrong and you were right? >> no, jake. i have thick skin. you sort of grow that as a prosecutor. if you strip out the politics and look at this thing objectively, and we had this story as it broke, and if you understand how real district courts, trial courts, work, to me it seemed like donald trump's request was not unreasonable. was not unprecedented, and he had a reasonable chance to succeed. that's what's happened now. there's more to come on the appeal, but we're trying to call it down the middle, and that's all i aim to do. >> i guess some legal commentators have a difficult time stripping out the politics. thanks so much. >> new gains for ukraine and soldiers staking their claim in territory once held by russia. up next, the show of force that has impressed even u.s. officials. stay with us. like our best price on our best business unlimited plan.
