Complicates things. the fact that the doj has come forward and said, look, the fbi has gone through these things. we found things that were attorney-client privileged, we found things that need to go back to the national ar kifs and we found things that need to be returned specifically to the government to their rightful place, essentially leaving the trump team with little options other than just appointing a special master simply because i thought it was unusual the judge in this case already indicated without hearing from both parties that she did lean toward appointing a special master. usually you would have to hear from both parties up to their argument as to why a special master is or is not needed. the fact that the fbi has gone through this has made this virtually a moot point. to your first question, i do believe the trump legal team is looking to use this as an overall delay while they figure out what their next steps are outside if donald trump is going to run for president ....
The fbi field office in baltimore, not washington. two, the investigation is primarily focused on tax issues at this point. there s a heavy irs criminal division focus there. those investigators are heavily involved in that and have been for some time. it s unclear to me how this individual could have specifically thwarted an investigation. number three, as you well remember, there were no overt steps taken in that investigation in the lead-up to the election. same with the rudy giuliani investigation. any overt steps that were taken in those investigations happened after the election, hunter biden, about mid december. we have the rudy giuliani search warrant in april of 2021. that s kind of the backstory. there was no investigative activity that would have been happening if there wasn t a threat to a life or somebody else s life, it s unlikely any case would have been opened into the son of a presidential candidate at that time. ....
Criminal or counterintelligence, for example. when we look at this person, they came to, as i said, focus because of this letter which alleged that he made a number of improper social media posts specifically that he liked a linkedin post about a washington post opinion piece about bill ba and the roger stone case, that he liked the story about the michael flynn case which grassley saw as partisan against flynn, that he liked another washington postop piece that said william barr had gone rogue and that he made comments in regards to donald trump on his twitter page and retweeted a lincoln project tweet that said donald trump is psychologically broken, embittered and a deeply unhappy man. christopher wray called these ....
Hard to pass. because of the inflation reduction act passing, his number are going up. you can seeing more candidates eager to get out there on the campaign trail and campaign with him. so i m looking forward to hearing his speech today. hallie, one of the things i think is very smart about what the white house is doing, typically republicans tend to be stronger on crime when you go head-to-head on a poll. but what president biden is going to do today is make the case that democrats are the ones who passed stronger gun safety legislation. we re the ones talking about degree tougher on crime and doing something about it, whereas republicans have done virtually nothing. i m glad he s taking hold of this. we re not ceding ground on crime. you said some candidates are eager to campaign with him. some are less eager. nbc news has reporting on this that there s hesitancy on the part of some democrats, those that are appearing with him, john fetterman, push him on ....
The biden administration and apparently left room to roam by attorney general merrick garland is trying to criminalize that act. see something, say something? if you said something about donald trump, we ll try to put new jail. joining us now is barbara mcquade, former u.s. attorney. thank you very much for being here. thank you. it s great to be with you. we started covering this five five years ago, and it never came to anything in terms of the substance of this. nobody ever seems to have figured out whether there was anything going on between alfa bank and the trump organization. because of that, the story has lingered and the loosened interest been frayed and out there in the wind all of this time. that said, regardless of the underlying suspicions that gave rise to this as a story in the first place, what is your opinion of the strength of the legal case here? the prospect of this lawyer ....
