charged, whether that s president trump, donald trump, jr., or others involved in that remains to be seen. so, barbara, we are hearing of those redacted pages i don t understand this technically that we could learn more about that in the next 60 days. do you know what that s about and why that would be the case? well, information wants to be free. the rules presume that information will be free and it will be transparency. there are some exceptions to that. things like grand jury materials, or matters currently under investigation, and so the judge had the prosecution submit to him a proposed redaction order which he then approved. and he said, i m going to permit you to withhold and redact these 18 1/2 pages for now. ultimately it has to be disclosed to the world, but because these matters remain under investigation and disclosure of this information would jeopardize the investigation into individuals you are still investigating, i m going to keep it under seal. but i m only g
people, hanging out with people, and taking meetings that seem to be about their personal enrichment and not dealing with their conflicts of interest. when jared kushner was in saudi arabia visiting m. b.s., his brother, who is his co-investment partner, happened to be in saudi arabia. well, firstly, most people, developers do try to get money, but they normally get it from american banks and financial companies because they haven t had such a bad track record to where they cannot do business in america. the trumps and the kushners have had such a bad track record, particularly trump, that they had to go to deutsche bank. and whatever schemes they had to launder money possibly from russian oligarchs and/or the middle east. and if we had emoluments clause, the reason for it is twofold. number one, to protect the american public, but to give congress the notice of what the conflicts can be and we wouldn t worry about kushner using some type of app to communicate with people. it s par
what happens next? i think mr. nadler has made clear some of the people said they d be happy to provide them but they wanted to do it after a subpoena was issued just to kind of i don t know if it s political cover or what kind of cover they needed. and others might need a subpoena to get them to respond. and i suspect that at some time or another those subpoenas will be sought and they ll be issued. on thursday, former fbi director jim comey wrote an op-ed in the new york times. he said this. i hope that mr. trump is not impeached and removed from office before the end of his first term. he goes on to say, a significant portion of this country would see this as a coup and it would drive those people farther from the common center of american life. more deeply fracturing our country. if impeachment is warranted, how are you going to get republicans on board for this? it s going to be very difficult because trump has done a marvelous job, the media has allowed him to do it by
variables. the magnitude of charges from robert mueller might be more severe. if president trump, for example, did work with russia to attack the election, that would be of such a magnitude that many people would agree it is at least a consideration for impeachment. but i think while the magnitude of charges out of the southern district of new york might be lesser, i think the likelihood of charges coming out of there may be greater when you look at the fact we already have documents filed naming him as individual one, someone who won the 2016 presidential election, i think any of us can infer that refers to president trump. and michael cohen, when he made these campaign finance violations did so at the direction and in coordination with individual one, i think that suggests quite a built of activity that could pose risk for president trump. we know that 18 1/2 pages of the search warrant documents that were unsealed the other day were redacted relating to the illegal campaign contribu
but it s partially him getting around people of having notice who he s communicating in what way. we don t know what he s doing with saudi arabia. we don t know what the circumstances are in iran. is the pressure we re putting on iran to protect america? is it to benefit trump and netanyahu and their political journeys together? they are both involved in questionable activities and that could be in courts. netanyahu as well, and help him politically. or is it because of their financial investments? we don t know. and it s kind of like the russian eggs where you take off layers and layers and layers, you get deeper and deeper, we don t know where they are. the american public needs to know. it s transparency should be the rule. congressman, with these document requests you ve asked for, you ve gotten some back, what happens noekt? so next? some say they haven t provided them. there are tens of thousands of pages is what we ve heard.
