i think that this you put your finger on the dilemma, and obviously there is no one right answer. what is interesting is that i ve done a lot of reporting, and so it is not just the dilemma of the chairman himself, but i spoke with a number of sources that i was able to interview for the book, people like bob gates, the former defense secretary and s head of the cia. people like experts on civil military relations, and they had a very different take on us as civilians. we don t have a tradition of resignation and protest by the uniformed military. bob gates said very clearly, make them fire, you don t resign. that way, at least, everyone will know that you are trying to stand up and do the right thing. he also counseled milley to keep basically all of the joint chiefs on board with, him so that trump would understand that he crossed their red lines, that he would be forced to have all of the joint chiefs quit on
specific information related to a crime that you believe has taken place. and that this is where you are going to find it. it wouldn t be unheard of, right, to include the faith among that? it wouldn t be a separate wanted to say, hey, i want to go in the house. but i also want to quote the safe as well. that might be the area where documents are kept. correct? that is a perfect statement. because, what s the takeaway is, that there were people within his inner circle that we re aware of the safe. and potentially housed classified information. and let s be clear, this safe certainly would not have been the appropriate safe that would ve been risen to the level of safeguarding classified information. so the fact that they went and cracked open the safe was something that was necessary. or one that was housed by the actual federal government. right? the former president doesn t just get to have everything or the presidential records act. we also know that hey that
only take place and broken third world countries. he said sadly america is now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level not seen before, quote, they even broke into my safe. you also have some reporting, this is not the first time trump has seen or even grieving investigators. i mean, he was greene the back in early june back and mar-a-lago. is that right? this is where there is a back story here. because part of what trump said in his statement he talked about the cooperation he says between the government, between investigators, and between his attorneys. but what had happened to this material. and we are told that investigators had actually gone to set up the mar-a-lago property in june, in early june, and they met with trump s attorneys to talk about this material. now, my colleague gary or it and i are told that trump did stop by that meeting and simply greet the investigators. we are told that he did not say he did not answer questions from those investigators. but t
elliott since you have been in a position that i haven t, which is you ve been on the prosecution side. where you are building a case. and you sent out or you apply for a warrant from a judge. it is possible of, aside from the fact that it is mar-a-lago i hear what you are saying it is a lot of people, it is possible that the former president they did put out that statement. which i will talk about in one second. that maybe we wouldn t have known. because it is not a doj or fbi, they don t do this unless they want to make a statement. and this case, it was donald trump who wanted to make a statement. you mentioned this lengthy press release that he put out. it is not to say he put it out. it is the words that he used. things like raid and occupy and weaponize. i m not sure if he actually said deep state, i don t have been in front of me, but he might as well have. he knew exactly what he was
but thank you lucy. life in prison, that s with the man who killed ahmaud arbery are facing. as they are sent it again. but this time for federal hate crimes. we are live outside of mar-a-lago at the very top of the hour. the fbi is searching donald trump s home. today. bubbles so many bubbles! as a an expedia member you earn points on your travels, and that s on top of your airline miles. so you can go and see. or taste or do absolutely nothing with all those bubbles. without ever wondering if you re getting the most out of your trip. because you are. to a child, this is what conflict looks like. children in ukrain are caught in the crossfire of war,
