assessment, risk assessment issue, is separate. they may play into each other and they may be relevant if there was tremendous damage done to sources and methods and other sensitive information, and that might be relative at a potential trial. but whatever happens with respect to criminal liability, indictment or no, the intelligence community and the united states government and the commander in chief, need to be aware of how much damage there was and how to mitigate that damage. and i think it s reasonable to allow that to continue. it doesn t prejudice, i don t see how it prejudices trump in a potential criminal manner in any significant way. we have video of trump s attorneys leaving the courthouse today. chris keis just added to trump s team, involved in gop politics. and jim trusty, as well. so evan, how notable is it that trump s lawyers never repeated this claim that we had heard previously that these documents

one more time, if i could go back on the new lawyer that donald trump has hired. there has been reporting about the challenges he is facing getting people who are how do you put it? people well versed it this this sort of investigation and well versed in these sorts of defenses. yeah, that s right, this is three weeks after the search of mar-a-lago. not to mention trump is involved in a number of different legal cases around the country. his businesses have been also. and the question is, you know, why now? even after january 6th, why has it taken this long to find someone of this caliber. it appears that the person he is now working with according to our colleague mark ka putoy according to two sources, this person, chris kies, really does have some legal aptitude. he has won cases before the supreme court. also in the florida supreme court. he was a solicitor general of the state of florida. he is someone who is expected to fight very hard and be up to the
