last night asked that investigators regain access to 125 documents found in that search of mar-a-lago. that is part of the extraordinary appeal to cannon s order which politico puts like this, it aims to a full-throated rebuke of the ruling by cannon, a trump appointee who was confirmed to a seat after trump s defeat in the 2020 election. prosecutors used the filing to describe her ruling as a danger to national security and one ignorant to the counterintelligence work and lacking in an understanding of the complexities of executive privilege. all of it and the bid to continue to use the classified documents from mar-a-lago in the investigation amounts to a bold gamut from doj. once again, from politico, quote, they re going forward with an appeal despite the risk of cementing an awful precedent. we re getting an even worse ruling from an appeals court dominated by trump appointees and they re daring cannon to double down on analysts that legal analysts on the right and left
some baseball game on some child s rec league where we have to make things fair, you know, got to we have to give them a few runs. no. there s that s not how it works. there s nothing normal about this. i think people are going to be liable, because they re outside the scope of their employment when they do this kind of thing. i think, and hope, they will be sued. eddie glaude, i want to bring you in. we learned from mr. berman that john kerry was also targeted for investigation and prosecution by the trump justice department. this is what the new york times is reporting mr. berman writes. after the september 2019 acquittal of gregory craig, mr. berman writes he hoped the verdict would ease the pressure on the southern district to prosecute another enemy of the president. mr. john kerry. that was naive on my part, mr. berman writes. mr. kerry, a former veteran and massachusetts senator was secretary of state under president obama, a role in which
measure of just the hundred classified documents. there s some reporting, charlie, i want to read about what it appears to be the least legally sophisticated argument for people like me. she plain, straight up didn t understand what executive privilege was or is, and it sounds like trump wants his modified concern path back, he can have it and is the washington. reporter:ing. with less than two years, jinl cannon does not have a record record to review while presenting untested questions to shield sensitive communications from disclosure may be applied to past occupants of the white house in conflict with their successors. former senor russ feingold who leads the constitution society which closely tracks judicial
presidency. that is bill barr. and the combination of those two, one in doj, the other leading the executive branch, leading the free world, leads in some ways to the erosion, the very assault on the basic foundations of our democracy. can you imagine deploying the fbi, the doj, to, you know, indict and convict your political opponents? that runs against everything that a democracy stands for. here s more evidence. the question is, what are we going to do with it? we ve been asking ourselves all along, what are we going to do with the evidence? that s what we ve been asking ourselves for five years, eddie. mike, i remember your reporting about how trump wanted jim comey and hillary clinton prosecuted. bill barr confirms that one of his last interactions, and it didn t go well with trump, was he was mad that he still hadn t prosecuted comey. we learned the other side of that, which was when trump was wrapped up in an investigation or prosecution, he didn t want evidence of that either
that there is a much broader reporting under way that may ensnare trump s accomplices. the subpoena sought information about communications with a range of people, many of them lawyers who were also listed on earlier subpoenas that focused on the fake elector plan. among the lawyers appearing as subjectses of interest on both sets of subpoenas, jenna ellis and kenneth chesboro with the fake elector scheme. the people who were a party to the same criminal acts. well, i can t weigh in on the legal issues involved here, but i am fascinated by the political implications of all of this, because as you pointed out, one of the central factors of maga from the beginning, at bottom it is a massive con game, and it
