some republicans might think that, but others, not so much. former bush advisor carl rove was on fox news earlier tonight. and i want to show what he said. let s be clear on this. none of these government documents are his to be taken. i agree with the deputy director that said a lot of the former presidents problems are his own creation. you cannot do the fed, the presidential records act of 1978, you cannot take original documents out of the white house with you when you leave the white house, whether you are the president of the united states or any of his aides. know that it s, verboten, under the law. that appeared to be karl rove on fox news making the department of justice s argument. is his support starting to crumble over there? jeremy? well, i think within the republican party, no. let us not forget who karl rove is, right, he s a bush
anti-gay ballots on to lift turnout. carl rove, knew what he was dealing. the democrats, on the other hand? well, in an effort to qualify an abortion related measure in arizona, fell short last month, and it s unclear whether one will make the ballot in michigan. the only other states with abortion related ballot measures are for monticello fournié. as one pro abortion rights political strategist said to democrats, they are playing checkers instead of chess. my sunday night panel is back with me, kurt, we ve known for years that the conservative majority on the supreme court would likely restrict abortion access, they telegraphed, it saying that trump would only appoint pro life judges while he was running for office. why do you think democrats never came up with a unified political legislative strategy around this. well, again i think i referenced this in the last segment. you have to remember this mindset that all of us were in
at the start of joe biden s presidency. we were coming off of january six, and we are we re also in a pandemic the likes of which we never seen. it literally froze everything in american place, as well as around the world. we were just trying to get through a period of time where thousands have been americans were dying every single day. our economy was frozen and there is a lot of fear and uncertainty. that is priority number one, two, and three. developing a vaccine, getting shots in arms, advancing that campaign. trying to stop the buddy come from piling up, and overwhelming our infrastructure in health care system. it was the entire focus of the first 18 months of the presidency, as well as the political universe. it s easy to say now, looking back, we could ve done a, b, and see all of this for the family. you have to remember where everybody s mindset was during that period of time, it was very different than where we are at right now. christina, back in 2000 and, for anti gay
carl rove had to say. you talk documents that under the presidential records act of 1978 should not have been taken from the white house. please get them all back. they always ask him a number of times and he gave 15 boxes back, why he continue to hold on to almost 1000 more boxes is beyond me. i think it would be in the best advice to the former president to lead this to his lawyers and not to further comment on this. joining me now is charles coleman junior, msnbc legal analyst, civil rights attorney and former brooklyn prosecutor. well charles, this is a more interesting turn of the moments by carl rove. looking, at it the office of director of national intelligence that it is working with the doj to facilitate a classification review. of relevant materials, including those recovered during the search. what is your reaction to this
intelligence avril haines says that she would lead a, quote, assessment of the potential risk to national security which would result from the disclosure of the relevant documents. that were seized from mar-a-lago. yesterday, a federal judge issued a preliminary ruling signaling support from trump s request for a second mask virtual review the documents. a hearing is scheduled for thursday. this course comes after a redacted copy of the fbi affidavits which was used to justify the search of mar-a-lago, trump s mar-a-lago home. which was unsealed on friday. beginning that the fbi uncovered 184 classified documents back in january. including some marked top secret. there is one looming question here. where are all the trump defenders now? i am old enough to remember when some republicans were shot in from rooftops, that the search was an abuse of power. according to axios, there is a growing feeling among trump s allies that the search was justified. just listen to a gop strategist
