what took place in the white house, you know, involving the president of the united states and those who act on his behalf in his carrying out his duties under the constitution and his other responsibilities as president. you mentioned the accountability factor. i wanted to have the connective tissue here. you have the january 6th committee, the reason the national archives are handing documents over is in part because of the requests of that committee. and what is happening in fulton county, the discussions around the big lie and the anatomy of the big lie as regards january 6th. are they looking towards these documents with accountability or understanding the role that these documents may have played on january 6th or even the big lie? so, you know, i think it sounds like the archivist has been dealing with the
received or produced in the course of the president carrying out his functions. that could be his constitutional functions, also his ceremonial functions. those are all presidential records. so there can be things like personal diaries about personal things that aren t related to the president s constitutional responsibilities or ceremonial responsibilities that would be personal records and there are some exceptions for things that sort of have no value. but that should be for the archivist to determine, and part of the reason that the law is so broad is because it really is important for historical purposes and for accountability purposes to have the record of really what took place in the white house, you know, involving the president of the united states and those who act on his behalf, in his carrying out his duties under the constitution and his other responsibilities as president. you mentioned the accountability factor. i want to have the connective
obama, and when president trump came in they changed the rules of engagement. the accountability factor. jennifer griffin did the interview with general milly and she asked him if anything could have been done differently and he said no. if you look at the history of the afghanistan war, not a single general has been fired or resigned after bad tactical actions or bad strategy. that s a real problem. i would say, my friend, former navy seal and sniper jack carr wrote an article talk about how to change this. he said the department of war was change withed to the department of defense. you can have a secretary of war that can fire generals for screwing up so you can win wars.
years before and these payments were made very close to the election. so that doesn t go in mr. trump s favor. but sure, i think the fact that not only is mr. pecker but mr. weisselberg, who was also involved in some of these arrangements or negotiations about how to pay these people off, he also has immunity. he s also talking. i think there is a strong case, probably, to be made against the president. then we had these constitutional issues. and then just to remind people, presidents cannot be indicted sitting presidents cannot be indicted, right? according to a guide line. it s not set in stone. frankly, guideline is never supposed to be. that seems to have been the pace up until now about a sitting president. but the word sitting is very important. we already passed the midterm elections and that could change with time. another thing to remember is not just weisselberg, not just pecker. michael cohen also made a statement in open court, along with his own guilty plea. he ll
have a right to know. the senate. you need a supajorityo pass it. what they did on the iran deal is flipped it on its head. corker-cardon deal was you needed a super majority in congress to stop the obama deal, and as it turns out, you didn t even know what you were voting on because you didn t get the information on the side deals and this information that comes out today where, they were absolutely deceiving congress, which is, they were pressing banks in america and overseas to basically launder that iranian currency to help the iranian economy, though they told you guys they weren t going to do that. the founders, from them watching down on the iran debate, they were all rolling over in their graves. that is exactly what they didn t want in terms of how to conduct american foreign policy. not just in terms of the substance of it, that would be problematic to them. just the accountability factor and the fact it is something to represent the will of the
