back and whether or not we would be violating some unwritten rule gu by going in and taking the documents from the former president. it doesn t make sense they were will so long but this is uncharted territory. before we go, significance that the president s lawyers have been questioned about this and the doj investigation? i think it goes to the point of the delay. of course, they needed to be questioned, but i think they took too long in doing this, frankly. that is something shawn said. the reporting that the doj asked about putting the documents under literally a padlock is just silly. if you re worried enough about them they need to be kept under better security, then they shouldn t be there at all. they were being very careful to make the record, cross their ts, dot their is talking to the lawyers is a good thing but the pace was very, very glacial. good job on not stepping on each other.
a mob s quest for justice and they don t dot their is and don t dot their ts cross their ts, in the end it s a colossal failure. when this case implodes, and it will in my judgment, the people of baltimore will be more outraged than they are now. she should have waited. why do you think the case is going to implode? because i think the facts that have been available to the public don t support a charge of murder. assume the worst. assume that they didn t buckle him into the police van. depraved murder is a very, very hard charge to support. and with proof beyond a reasonable doubt. she is also going to lose this case in terms of being able to prosecute it. her statement will in my judgment create the grounds for a change of venue and certainly she may have to be recused. what about her statement, the level of detail she went into, quoting no justice, no peace? that s a terrible thing for a prosecutor to say because you re not supposed to say i hear you, young people, demandin

europe and i maintain that that s in part because both the president and congress has taken a strong stand in pushing the rest of ukraine towards us. i mean, all of this partisan on behalf of romney and others is just politics. i think most people see through that. you sort of anticipate the question i was going to ask you, whether you thought that russia putin s move pushed ukraine further into the arms of europe. let me ask you another question and that relates to the concerns of the nato allies. as we have been reporting vice president biden has been in the region visiting our allies. do you think that the concerns of states like poland and lithuania, estonia, are there concerns about putin s next move valid? so i don t think that there is any reason to be concerned that russia is going to move on the baltic states or poland today. that being said they are right to, you know, cross their ts and dot their is to make sure their
