mettle in the elections. she stood up against it because it was part of an official process. once you declassify information, everyone can get it. it s not just declassified for the president. it s declassified for the world, which is why there s a paper trail. and the paper trail includes comments because ultimately the president makes the decision. but it s an informed decision. so, it was agency-owned information, nsa, they would say, here s the consequences. here s the impact to ideally try to sway the president making the decision to make the right call. that s all included in the comments. you re going to see what there would have been if there were a paper trail. i can t imagine, evan, the idea of being able to have a foyer request for formerly top secret information if it was really declassified. on that point, i don t want to miss this very important point that part of this discussion this week about this search warrant and what they ve
the other duffy, michael duffy. the only thing she can do is maybe delay the trial. but as scott said, the outcome is not in doubt. let me just challenge you guys in terms of you thinking that it was rushed and now why is it being slowed down? new information comes out every single week. i mean first of all, they wanted those here s what the democrats would say. they wanted those witnesses, the witnesses from john bolton to mick mulvaney, the white house was fighting them. they didn t want to have to wait to go through a year-long court process. number two, since then all sorts of things have come out. we know there was this foyer request that was granted where we get to see these new interesting emails. lev parnas, who has been charged with internooerg a u.s. election and funneling russian money is talking. and scott, rudy giuliani was back in ukraine attempting to do
those are about the federal open records law. there are many reasons to deny access, but if they tend to release information, that will show there is less of a cover-up here. lisa, you made a very good point earlier in the program that for the victims of this monster over the decades, at least he is no longer a threat to them. but as somebody who is representing some of these victims, would you want such a foyer request to find out how this person was allowed to die however he died and be silenced to be able to maybe provide information that could help more victims? absolutely. i can tell you on behalf of the jeffrey epstein victims who i want, they want full transparency, full information, everything about this man s life, everything about his death, everything about who helped him, who knew and allowed him to get away with his sick crimes where he would entrap and exploit and victimize young women, make them feel terrible
the don jr. meeting which the president was involved with. and michael cohen was released with the foyer request. and in terms of i m preachment that there was a break-in, if the white house wasn t ininstructing people like don mcgahn you had your time, you had your investigation. it didn t come to anything. that s not true. that s where we thought nancy pelosi was until a couple hours ago when she dropped the bomb of cover-up. so my question is, what happened in the meetings with democrats and nancy pelosi to get her to shift. because she clearly is drifting away from let s way for the evidence. there s two things happening here. there s internal pressures on her from her conference that the loudest voices in the room are the president is trying to troll democrats into
cia. he got pushed out of the l.a. times, ever since then, he s kind of climbed up the ladder, and now he is the star reporter at the msnbc and nbc, where that is all he does, just blindly and mindlessly repeat what the cia tells them to say, gives them anonymity, essentially their puppet and mouthpiece, that is called journalism over at msnbc. laura: but he s an expert. i mean, they hold him out as a real expert on brennan, clapper, the whole crowd, and so he speaks with authority, because he covered it for that much time , but until you did that foyer request, no one knew the back story. i think american journalism for a long time has been far too deferential. these intelligence operatives who operate in the dark, they give them anonymity. that was why we got the iraq war. i think ken dilanian takes this horrible practice, he is the world champion of benefiting his
