they are human beings like we all are. they are going to know that these other matters are pending. i don't know right now if any of these trials happen in 2024. if they do, it's going to be a very delicate dance to make sure that they don't interfere, that this legal process doesn't interfere with his constitutional rights, you know, not only free speech but also the fact that he is candidate for president. >> ainsley: matt, what did he do that was more severe than his vice president, who also had classified documents and that was turned back over to the government. or joe biden, who was found with many more classified documents, or many more boxes in different locations? what did he do that's more severe? and if you take politics out of this, how severe is this? i mean, is this just about documents? should we care about this? >> i think those other cases you point out both the pence case and biden case actually are more serious because, you know, there is going to be an argument in case that donald trump declassified these documents that he is being accused of

the way his vice president did, which is to say, oh, i didn't realize i had these, here they are and didn't then obstruct justice, he would have had the exact same resolution that happened just ten days ago with former vice president pence. >> he did come out and speak today, and he showed your local yoga or pilates center has nothing on his contortions. i mean it was wild because he tried to both do the witch hunt thing, and we understand politically why he might do that, but he also tried to do the factual thing and it was interesting, that part of your contorsion is what you're making, andrew. aggressive but reasonable is different than aggressively reckless, and off-ramps were offered and not taken. and the proof they could have gone differently is in the pence case. >> absolutely. i agree with you. pence, it's a great analogy because it's like choose a lane,

his best way out is trying to dupe the american people into electing his president a second time. >> the thing he's had going in his favor is the extreme deference of the department of justice toward a former president. at least the perception that there was extreme deference. how does that deferential attitude change when it's a former president who is attempting to be president again but who is no longer in office? . it's a great question because what you're alluding to is the deference they once showed them will now if there's a trial be used against donald trump. because yes, there are aspects of the presidency and even the transition because people point to the pence case or other examples, where did the document go? there is initial deference if you tell the truth, there is initial deference if you just hand it back. a lot of people don't even get that. joe blow citizen, you got classified documents, game over. but there is a history of, you know what, whatever type of president you were, and people can leave their thoughts on that to the side of the legal, you

these materials. >> one other quick question. we're all reading tea leaves at this moment. mike pence was quietly cleared by the justice department for the possession of classified documents. he announced he's filed to run for president. is that significant that they have cleared that case out of the way? does that mean anything? >> i think it is in a separate course, but i think one thing it's going do is it's certainly going to help with this comparison that trump's trying to do, conflating the pence case, the biden case, hillary clinton, anything he can where the word classified documents is included, he's trying to conflate that with this. even sometimes you use the word mishandling. here that's not a good label for this case where there's obstruction and willful retention of evidence. i think it's really a good comparison, it will be interesting to see how that plays out in the republican primary. >> last question to you, jill. this has kind of almost happened

we draw any can be between the former if you want getting cleared -- which, by the way in volume, and he answers they questions night and day, but they cleared that, you've cleared the department of justice for a long time. could that indicate they're moving forward? >> i think they're unconnected, partly baas we're talking about a volume -- just a very different volume, right? we're talking about a dozen documents in the pence case. they were discovered in january. this was still being handled by the justice department, not a special counsel, and they were looking at the calendar. a lot of times the justice department gets criticized for how long these things take. in this case they knew pence might be announcing for president this week, and they needed to get out of the wait of that. the standard had been set by merrick garland. if he declares, suddenly they may have to appoint a special

they both came forward voluntarily. and trump was obstruct difference. and still no evidence that they knew. and no evidence of any to the contrary . but the special counsel on the bipartis biden case is quiet but it looks like it is headed the same direction as the pence case. >> all right, have a great weekend. and a look at the new monthly job numbers on the 2024 campaign trail. that is next. and plus dozens of bags tossed into ravines full of human body parts.

every administration going back to reagan have returned documents. the national archives made a decision that unlike what they have done for every other president since the passing of the presidential records act to get a facility in the town where they are going to be living to store the documents, which would have the ability for everything to be securely scored, they made a decision not to do that in this case, not to get a facility in palm beach. >> you contrast that to pence. how do you view the fact that the same doj has quickly closed that pence case? clearly, they see more to probe if not to charge in the trump case. >> i see the pence case, the biden case and the trump case as all pretty well linked. pence's was simpler. it was something he went and did a voluntary search after it came out there were documents in trump's house and biden's house.

in the trump case, they didn't do that. what you need to do is say, why didn't they do that? is there criminal intent here? you have to gather evidence to show the criminal intent. one of the things that shows a criminal intent is this recording that came out. that's another piece of proof of that intent. the pence case, they didn't have to collect all that because it became quickly apparent from their transparency that this was no case. here it appears to be a case. the prosecutor has to gather that evidence methodically. it's clear from everything you have laid out tonight that they're doing that. >> the thing about a documents case like this is, while we have never seen one like this, we have seen these brought against senior officials. if this were a patriotic movie, people might say, wait a minute, the cia director, nsa director,

could be the following week? it could be never. we don't know what's going on inside the tent. >> yeah. when you looks at the mike pence case, which was always from the public information, always looked smaller, more narrow, no allegations, for example, of obstruction. there was no need in the eyes of the justice department to go down a physical search, which some called a raid. but the point being you had to go in there that way. they didn't do that. that case being closed so quickly, even though it had the layer of independence with a special counsel, that means what in your view? >> look, i thought the closing of the pence case was a great thing for the people bringing the trump case. it shows sharp contrast in the facts. in the pence case, they came forward. they made the investigation easy.

allowed by a federal magistrate judge. that is all the difference in the world. this is not a pence case. this is not a biden case, where they both mishandled classified records. that is normal. what is not normal is how trump and his supporters and allies have handled the case. >> charlie, i am struck by the fact that as of last week, president trump was still in thickness defense, i can declassified things just by saying the declassified and thanking their declassified, knowing that his legal team had received this subpoena and we're fighting it in court, effectively fighting to make sure that the proof that trump knew compared to what he was saying publicly come out, that jacks mitt would be ending the records. does that surprise you? >> i would like to say something broader in this base that i think would be helpful because i think this is a complicated topic. your introduction has completed the mystical i can take ossified documents by thinking
