they were saying how classifie was? it where they really classified? if it was classified it wa potentially damaging to th national security of the unite states and i can tell you based o knowing what was in there that some of the stuff could be really really damaging where it t find its way or wear it to hav found its way into the hands o our adversaries or frankly anyone else. when you talk about how damaging it is to national security in a letter the trump lawyer say basically shut down this probe, have them to an assessment about thi classified material. but the intelligence committee is already doing its investigation into how damagin this breach of nationa security is. being in the wrong place i terms of national security do we have any sense of wher that investigation is? and when we will hav conclusions about the value of these documents to america safety yes, so that americans ca investigation of damag assessment has gone on for u
that that evidence i particularly damaging to donal trump. mike pence may even, as witness, try to help donal trump. but i think the experience o mike pence, overall, i important evidence for the entirety of this case, and the entirety of what prosecutors have to decide, as to whethe there are criminal charges here do you think, devlin, tha what pence is behind close doors, is eventually going t come out assuming, i suppose if there i eventual prosecution, there s high likelihood that we re going to find out what he says right? right if there were a trial on any subject, presumably would ge an understanding about wha mike pence said in grand jur jury i think frankly with high-profile investigation like this, there is a high chance that at some point this version will come out. but mike pence has been very adamant that my private versio will be the same as my publi version. the only difference, though is he is saying it under oath, and the doj can ask some follow-up questions, whi

the special counsel want t allow that he s going to have to be fully forthcoming, and i think tha it signals that this is coming near the end of the specia counsel s investigation. more than anything else, to me it s an affirmation of the rul of law, still working in thi country. a vice president cannot hide behind falsified privilege, or the political expedience about not wanting to testify about somebody popular in that party it s not a good enough reaso to do your duty, and the court would uphold that subpoena, an compel them to speak unprecedented, certainly ver important to investigation, an also invalidates the rule of law. of course, the rule of law. with your deep familiarity o the events of january 6th, wha would you ask the vice president? what do we not know that w need to know about the run u on january 6th and the day o itself i can say, as a forme
