Documents go back to the special master. now, doj is officially appealing to get rid of the special master altogether. what do you think of all of this? >> well, with regard to former president trump and the supreme court, he's had a lot of losses at the supreme court but i don't think he we should underestimate the degree to which his appointments have really, drastically shifted the tenor of this court to the right. he has been on board, is appointees have been on board for a larger conservative project, even if they haven't been on board for donald trump's personal needs. that is important ...

I don't think it changes the ball game so much as maybe we'll have a rain delay for a couple of innings. >> so obviously major criticism there from a former trump cabinet official. with documents like this, can the doj afford the rain delay that barr mentions? charles, that's to you. >> lindsey, i have to find myself agreeing with bill barr ever in my life, but in this instance i think he's right. previously thinking about the special master issue and whether the doj decides to appeal the question was one of delay and time. an appeal takes time and even one expedited would jeopardize the time ...
