everything the president takes is his, it is his own personal records. it is the literal opposite of everything that was put into place, all the reforms that were put into place after nixon, after watergate, but he has got it in his head from tom and others is that this law doesn t do what he thinks it does. but it doesn t matter the presidential records act says here, because that is the not the law issue. it is the espionage act, it is obstruction, no matter how much he wants to pretend that the presidential records act insulates him from every other statue, any lawyer worth their salt is telling him that it does not protect you, from these other criminal provisions. it does not insulate you from the espionage act. defendant trump also said that he at the secret service took very good care of those documents. they were very well protected in his custody. i have mar-a-lago, i have secret service protection, i have everything else. but even regardless of that this is the presiden
possession of secret documents, joe biden had himself unauthorized secret documents, don t worry, it is not a big deal. unlike you and donald trump, joe biden is a good person, so virtuous he s transcended law issue not a crime when he does it. details are interesting. week before the last mid-term election, joe biden lawyers were rooting in a locked closet in the pan-biden global engagement and while in the locked closet biden lawyer found highly classified government documents, why were joe biden s lawyers doing this in the first place? it is weird. lawyers don t typically search locked closets, yours probably don t. biden s lawyers did and we guess

todd: meanwhile, nancy pelosis she heard a clarion announcing house will vote today to clear the way for the senate to act, saying in a dear colleague letter, president biden made it crystal clear must sign legislation into law issue house democrats will take a step to send the freedom to vote john r. lewis act to the senate for consideration. what happens next in the 50/50 split? kyrsten sinema and majority leader schumer says he will use a loophole to debate voting rights legislation. carley. carley: todd, i think this election reform conversation is in and out of the news cycle in the blink of an eye. the filibuster is not going anywhere.
