believe trump. fbi agents! who were screams for aptitude in detecting truth were inclined to believe trump. fbi agents who were trained by what, at his very best, is the most sophisticated law enforcement agency on the planet! they were inclined to believe trump. some fbi field agents then argue to prosecutors that they were inclined to believe trump and his team had delivered everything the government sought to protect and said the borough should close down as a criminal investigation, according to some people familiar with the discussions. that was in june of last year, after federal prosecutor served a subpoena on donald trump for the return of all government records including classified documents that donald trump still had in his possession.
In his signature style, Lawrence O Donnell goes into depth on the latest news developments and offers his take on the political stories driving the national.
of trumpism in the hearing. as you, know the fbi raided donald trump s mar-a-lago home. subsequent to that raid there have been multiple leaks about what was discovered there including a photograph of documents that were discovered there. did you know about the leaks? the photograph was a filing in courts in response to a motion filed by mr. trump. it was not a leak. so, senator, other than the nonsense about the photograph. what was so striking to me about the very small amount of exchange about the trump situation is that ted cruz never suggested that there shouldn t have been a search warrant executed there. he was only concerned about why are there leaks in this case. not exactly what donald trump was looking for, i think, you know. it is a signal that a lot of
be careful. and we have a big problem if the federal mask is are too scared to investigate because they are worried that donald trump is going to cry and wine on his social media, and the likes. so to, me i think all three of these things. and i think andrew s final point about the fbi field office in d.c. is an important one. the fbi probably dropped the ball on january six that the january six report found that the fbi knew about a lot of the stuff and did not connect the dots. you know, the washington field office i m sure is part of them, said to chris way, to make unforgivable. that this has not been investigated, and that chris wray himself hasn t ordered a top to bottom review on what happened on january 6th. so you know, fbi my mind right now is not looking like the andrew weissmann fbi. we all knew about this investigation at the same moment. it was basically when donald trump told us on the day of the
the many, many wonderful people who work there. neal katyal, as a justice department veteran, i only imagine that there were some heartbreak involved for you reading this tonight too. yeah, i mean donald trump acts as though he s above the law, lawrence, because investigators and prosecutors continue to treat him that way. in my mind, the only way to correct this a law with behavior, is to hold on to the same standard as every other american. that is why i found a story today so heartbreaking. i mean lawrence, if the fbi had a video of any other suspect moving boxes out of a room where they suspected classified documents, and where those documents had been you know, requested and moving of these boxes is happening . agents would be tripping all over themselves to get down the guys door and searches house! both donald trump, suddenly they get cold feet. you know, andrew is absolutely right generally robust
