u.s.. certainly, we are concerned about the qanon phenomenon. the fbi has warned of the dangers of qanon and its potential to inspire violence. what we have is a former president, potential candidate for the presidency of the united states, legitimizing what is in essence a cult. qanon has been associated with bizarre claims about cobbles and child sacrifice, but the slogans and symbols of qanon have now become intertwined with trump s lies about a stolen election. i go to a lot of trump rallies, i see a lot of people wearing qanon t-shirts. it doesn t mean they are all necessarily violent or dangerous, does it? it does not, and that s the most difficult law enforcement scenario to deal with, because you want to identify threats among these hundreds, sometimes thousands of people. trump delivered some of his speech, saturday, in youngstown ohio to a backing track. we are a nation that is no longer respected or listen to.
but that you have to do something affirmatively. in this case, the affirmative thing was not look at classified documents, when the u.s. government has every right to look at its own classified documents. trump drive no right to do, that just because you took them to mar-a-lago, and of courses attorneys never even positive that he had declassify those documents. i think the appellate court was really destroyed by an egregious overreach by the district judge here, and sort of slap back the decision and said no, the doj can have the records. maggie, this former president receives a string of favorable decisions from that judge, do you expect he s gonna try to appeal this to the supreme court? i mean, there s also questions i guess about his legal representation, because it s been criticized widely, even by other justices. we don t know yet, anderson, what that response is gonna, be but it s certainly the former president strategy most of these litigations is to try to drag it out. i
night. can the ruling be appealed? it could be, we heard from the justice department in that hearing before the special master yesterday, that they would appeal it if they lost. presumably, the same goes now that trump s team has lost this. they could potentially appeal, so for now, doj has a win here, they can resume using those classified documents. they ll be kept out of the u.s. special master in trump s legal team. trump s team can move to appeal, this but doj is free to go about the investigation. there has been some concern among the doj, and i guess elsewhere. it was considered more conservative, or conservative court. what is the makeup of that court? yes, so that was a gamble here, because when doj was deciding whether or not to go to the 11th circuit, six of the
make you look at some of these examples, it s mar-a-lago, they re the new york attorney generals office said the trump had value the property is $790 million, when in fact the value was closer to $75 million. there s also a number of properties in new york, in washington d.c., as well as the hotel in las vegas. there, letitia james in her lawsuit alleges that they undervalued that property, in order to obtain a tax benefit. she also says that she believes she found some examples of federal crimes been violated including the specifically bank fraud she said she was making a referral to the internal revenue service, and the attorney s office for the southern district of new york, for them to potentially pick up the investigation. we ve picked free shots both agency neither them had comments on whether they would look into the allegations but she herself is seeking some pretty steep penalties. 250 million dollar fine a permanent ban on the former
be declassified [inaudible] his lawyers, his allies, but they ve not offered any proof in court filings or in-person. so the 11 circuit tonight criticizing trump s team, for not being forthcoming here. what does this mean for the special master? interesting, lee this 11th circuit opinion also touches on that. remember, the next thing the doj was asking for here, was to allow the special master to look at these 100 classified documents. they wanted it kept out of view, for the special master and trump s legal team. they got that last night with the 11th circuit opinion. what this means is that the special master can continue his review, because remember there are 11,000 documents in all that he has to review, before november 30th. however, he is now restricted from looking at those 100 classified documents. so that is like a second win for the doj this point in the
