that there’s another step which is potentially do they want to do it because it’s former
president its impact on the
country I hope they don’t do
it. But you know the law here I
think is pretty clear
that the Justice Department
should be able to review these
documents if it got to the
point where they they wanted to
actually put the documents
before the grand jury without
sanitizing them in protecting
the deliberative process.
Then you would litigate the
issue but for her to come in
now and sort of this abstract
thing and
say this the guy’s going to
decide what is potentially
privileged dodges the question
which is does the president
have standing to assert the
privilege against the existing
administration.
>> That is bill Barr with one
Martha maccallum yesterday and
then the revelation last night
the Washington Post gets
another leak highly classified
documents held in mar-a-lago is
the headline. They contain far
nuclear secret, according to
the leak that only a Cabinet
level official or higher could
authorize. Others to know so
now all of a sudden that’s the
push back
on the on the special master
that the judge said was worthy
of this process it would
decide. What is classified
what’s not and to give Donald
Trump his stuff back in which
pro Crow attorney client
privilege privilege and what
executive privilege. Martha
your reaction to the bill Barr
interview and that picture.
So.
>> You know I think that what’s
important to remember about
Bill Barr is that he’s looking
at it from what the law says so
and I think it was good the way
that it’s a there he’s saying
he doesn’t think that the
special master decision was
correct because you’re all in
the executive branch you’ve got
the president you got the
Department of Justice you got
the FBI. They can share these
documents within their own
confines and then come to some
sort of conclusion on them,
however, he said he obviously
believes he The other day on
America’s newsroom. You can’t
take these documents to a
country Club after your
president, but that doesn’t
work he also believe that the
Trump folks word quote jerking
around the Department of
Justice he doesn’t think that
that any of that was
appropriate however, his is
but I hope they I don’t think
they’re going to die and I hope
they don’t because it would be
so destructive and so bad for
the country. So I think you
have to always listen to
everything that he says in the
end of the sentence is often
different. In some ways, you
know people want him to be a
supporter or not a supporter.
He’s been both in the course of
his relationship with with
Donald Trump. But always based
I think on on what the law is
in reading his book and how
much he accomplished he enjoyed
being fired the way Donald
Trump fire and exploded at the
end.
>> And tried to be smart his
reputation when he did and then
when he comes out as a chance
to write a book. He lets people
know that but he also points
out a lot of good things about
the president that he was doing
some really good times and the
right of what they
accomplished. Together that’s
why I thought president Trump
should have been.
Say hey listen this guy’s going
to microphone is going to get
up and he’s got to write a book
why does have to be negative.
Look at how much they actually
did together how much better he
was in Jeff sessions but I want
you in Marco Rubio told us and
I’m not trying to one-up you
I just happen to be on FOX and
friends after you 12 hours
after Marco Rubio’s asked the
same question. And here’s his
answer to these top secret
documents evidently were at
mar-a-lago including nuclear.
The nuclear weapons of one
country.
>> Again we go back to people
talking about the state of mind
the agents when they got in
there if that’s even true.
What’s the only reason to do
that if you’re conducting a
serious investigations, you
don’t hear anything about these
investigations. The Justice
Department won’t even
acknowledge that someone is
under investigation are not
under investigation of someone
being investigated you asked
the Justice Department say it’s
not true they won’t do it they
won’t do it either way they
won’t comment, especially
something when it involved a
former president and yet in
this particular case every
single day someone in the
Justice Department is leaking
why would you like there’s only
one reason to leak the stuff
and that is to
create a narrative and why do
you create a narrative for
political purpose. So every
single day they are proving
that this they are politicizing
this by what they’re doing as
opposed to align the pleadings
and the case to work its way
through and speak for itself
and he’s in the gang of 8 he
shows be briefed on high level
things he’s never briefed.
It was so serious what would
you tell us why he’s a
100% right.
>> And if the Justice
Department doesn’t like the
fact that they are ill
perceived by the public.
>> They should take this to
heart.
They should wear where is Mark
Harlan with these people why is
he letting all of this
information come out if he is
so you know if he call we heard
about Merrick Garland when he
was being nominated as a
Supreme Court Justice was how
even handed he was this does
not reflect that
the going after parents at
school board meetings does not
reflect that he has revealed
himself in a way that is
unfortunate for someone who’s
supposed to have the blindfold
of justice on and this should
be completely airtight it is
unfair.
>> In it.
>> It is so unfair what’s
happening with these leaks to
bill this senator Rubio says
that it.
Makes everybody skeptical
about these agencies it’s a sad
state of affairs that really
really is so right now the
special master is going to be
in place they want names by
Friday when we get a 5 the
Department of Justice will
challenge this is a bar said he
thinks they should appeal.
>> Just based on the law and
his rating of the law.
AB side of it is it can take
a really long time this is
going to drag out cannot
happen. So after the midterms
for sure and then it becomes a
2024 issue. It’s
unfortunate that we’re here right that this it didn’t really need to put a need to
this is there’s certain things
that precedent and you can’t
you can’t avoid You have to
stuff controversy comes your
way, but this one was this was
avoidable right and I will
say this this protocols to
should be archives executives
down there dealing with the
chief of staff and just saying.
>> The president to take this
my problem with that boxes
explains might have to cross
talk then and then I want to
all be true. Well when the
president really wants that box
get an orbiter that’s it was it
was middle covid right.
>> The National Archives was
shut down. You couldn’t get
anyone on the phone to the
National Archives for 2 years
if you’re a veteran who wanted
to get your hands on your own
records and people died waiting
for the
documentation of their service
because they couldn’t get
anyone to answer the FARC
nobody worked for over 2 years
but apparently they were very
focused on this issue right so
here’s said the president.
>> One of the president’s
attorneys Alina ABA cut to a
jury.
>> They injunction which means
that they have stopped all
criminal investigations was
granted which is a great win
for the Trump team
that is handling this
additionally we received that
approval to get
a special master which was
exactly what I had hoped would
happen. The DOJ as you may
recall was opposing this they
didn’t want it. And what the
public had assumed was a delay
was in fact of the fact that in
the judge mention this. The
fact that the DOJ wasn’t
willing to grant a special
master when we requested it
prior. So
then we had to file a motion.
The judge made the right
decision in my opinion.
>> I don’t understand why there
was so worried about special
message except for losing
control. Number one team is
supposed to come in and screen
at to have that be a good job
for us to Cocaine missed the
past, but it misses medical
records misses tax records and
what do we do in the band room.
I guess if he’s really
diabolical who go we want a
look barons mattress all
Mullaney is underwear draw.
That’s we’re all put it you
could say that but if they were
so.
With these whistleblowers who
knew where all this stuff was
what you need 9 hours to grab
all this stuff in the end keep
lawyers pinned against the
ground when you could have said
when you walk through I’m tired
of waiting. I just briefed
again 8. I’m tired of waiting
going in. Yeah.
>> But I
I understand where you’re
coming from I think part of the
reason that a lot of that stuff
was included some of the
personal items were included as
that is to show context of
where the document was and what
was with the document what else
was in the box. That’s
what Bill Barr
says is the reason for
presenting myself I grabbed it.
This is the box that we found in it was you know if framed pictures. Classified documents
and you know Barron socks I
