it presently remains sealed. you would think that it would come pretty fast, because right now we re operating in an information vacuum. obviously, the justice department is trying to play this by the book, and you can understand why. when it s up against so much pressure, it s trying to hold the line. it s trying to do what it normally does, in the normal case, but this is not the normal case. he is not a flight risk, everyone knows where he is every minute of every given second. the normal reasons for why you would keep this under seal, i think that you might see the justice department go and ask a federal judge to get this unsealed, so that it can actually make public what has happened here before tuesday s arraignment. whereas just where you would normally see it unsealed. i just cannot see this holding until tuesday. yes, already, to laura s point, trump has already fundraised off of this. republicans are beginning to comment, the white house has not commented on this, which i
everyone knows where he is every minute of every given second. the normal reasons for why you would keep this under seal, i think that you might see the justice department go and ask a federal judge to get this unsealed, so that it can actually make public what has happened here before tuesday s arraignment. whereas just where you would normally see it unsealed. i just cannot see this holding until tuesday. yes, already, to laura s point, trump has already fundraised off of this. republicans are beginning to comment, the white house has not commented on this, which i think is quite telling. one would think that the doj would like to get its case out in the open, so that it is not just absorbing the incoming from opponents of taking this case in the first place. i guess that my question to you would be, do you see the fact that jack smith has not said anything, that he quietly moved this down to florida, that he is going to a jury pool, and potential judge s election which is less fav

after bullet laramie s, where all the arrests that he demanded publicly, calling on the justice department go easy on his friend. time with the article it s out now. he is accusing by locking up the political opponents. who s gonna lock up? , your political opponents that i can tell would be locked up by then biden administration on their part except for those that stormed capitol. whether pence is the former president is saying is that those who stormed the capitol are getting improperly locked up by the current administration. that is a rather defensive insurrectionists. the point? i think you re right. and this will help him politically, as a calling card to his own bad base to say, see, they re coming after me because they are coming after you. we are in this together and whatever they get is the least mainstream media, justice
