not normally you don t even take a classified document out of a classified setting, the skiff as we call it in the senate, let alone your own garage. i m glad the corvette was locked in the garage, but that s not an excuse for having classified documents in the same building. the attorney general was right to appoint a special counsel. the idea that, well, maybe there are only a couple of documents, we all know that there are a lot of documents that are classified. some have serious and potentially compromising information in them. so let s get away from this idea, well, we don t have as many documents as president trump and get to the substance of those and how they actually got there. it s remarkable. for the president to say that they did the right thing, after they did the wrong thing, doesn t add up to me. neil: you know, you re used to my asking you a lot of stupid questions, senator, but why this can t be run like a library when
know, i praise him for his efforts and his intent to be completely transparent, but at the end of the day, i don t think this adds much value because i think whoever is special counsel is going to be criticized as being partisan, who s going to be criticized as being biased, and at the end of the day, the person who s making the ultimate decision is presumably in the eyes of the critics biased. that s a great point. you break it down, and you break it down with acumen, david, because you re not just saying, this doesn t add value. you re saying, this doesn t add legal value, and there are alternate options that were not exercised that would have actually had teeth and been more independent. and so, with that view stated, david, what do you think the attorney general is doing? why do this if, as you state, it s not as independent as it could be, and it adds a layer that will ultimately go back to garland to make a tough call? look, i think there are
motivated by just about anything. we don t. no we don t know all the information, obviously, some of us are like that s the bottom line but that doesn t add up, something, something doesn t add. up it ll take a while to figure it out. okay there s a few things going. on you can say we don t have the information, fine, it doesn t add up is, it s questionable what you mean by that. but what doesn t add up very quickly becomes, became, completely disgusting responses to the attack on paul pelosi. some of what you are retweeted by sitting united states senator ted cruz. some were set out loud by kari lake. to get a big laugh on the campaign trail. it s not impossible to protect our kids at school. the act like it is, nancy pelosi well she gets protection her house doesn t have a lot of protection. the guy interviewing her had to cover his face with notes.
certain political ideologies, what may have driven this person. we can t make those leaps. we shouldn t make those layups. we just don t know at this point. as this person could ve been motivated by just about anything. we don t. no we don t know all the information, obviously, some of us are like that s the bottom line but that doesn t add up, something, something doesn t add. up it ll take a while to figure it out. okay there s a few things going. on you can say we don t have the information, fine, it doesn t add up is, it s questionable what you mean by that. but what doesn t add up very quickly becomes, became, completely disgusting responses to the attack on paul pelosi. some of what you are retweeted by sitting united states senator ted cruz. some were set out loud by kari lake. to get a big laugh on the campaign trail. it s not impossible to protect our kids at school. the act like it is, nancy pelosi well she gets protection her house doesn t have a lot of protection.
indictments, which again, doesn t add up to an ideal nominee for a major candidate for 2024. now, in comparison, desantis does look like a better bet. but i gotta say, i don t think desantis is proving himself to be once in a generation political talent. he has won one statewide election, currently leading the polls for reelection, in florida, a state that has not elected a democratic governor in 30 years. i m not quite convinced that this kind of constant cultural war trolling is as broadly popular with voters at large, non-fox viewers, as lots of people in the professional political class believe. fernand amandi is a veteran democratic strategy and pollster based in miami. he joins me now. fernand first, i m curious how this is all filtering through florida media and florida
