he didn t know. what was the document that was every question you asked, he wanted to spend a tremendous amount of time which i understand because in all the exchanges with the archives before you get to what is the beginning of this criminal case, in the beginning of this criminal case is the defiance of the subpoena. and once he tried to talk to him about anything that takes place after the defiance of the subpoena he offers you absolutely nothing. including the possibility that donald trump never looked at any of these boxes at all. this document today just erases literally races every single thing that is trump s criminal defense lawyer has said on television prior to last night. every single word they have said has been erased. and yet he will probably get some new lawyers whoever they may be for whatever reason. the person who has a stake in
and they will file motions to try to exclude it, and on those motions will go to judge cannon. and so she takes out all of the notes that he transcribed in this narrative for him, and he was clearly disturbed by some of his interactions with his current client. let s make it clear, he is still a client. he may not be a client on this matter, but he is at least, as far as we last checked, still representing him as it relates to january 6th. and andrew weissmann, you pointed out. will he be a lawyer for donald trump longer than are ripe peach can sit on a grocery store shelf? to borrow a metaphor. you know, it seems like there could be an appeals process involving judge aileen cannon. yes, but to that point, she makes a crazy ruling that keeps something out, they have to appeal. it delay? delay. she makes another crazy ruling, they have to appeal it. and at that point, if it goes past the election in many ways,
and this will also be another testing point. yes, as we have discussed, there are people who are fully bought in, or mines close. there are a lot of americans who want to see what is happening. if you are running for president, and also try to run out the clock, rather than deal with the facts, that is a bad sign. that is separate from your legal process, but again, this is not someone donald trump, who was lonnie last time, exactly one people over, or one over independents, or independent minded veterans and national security folks. so he is legally presumed innocent, and if he can win in court, glass. but running up the clock to avoid your day in court is not the right look. you had said all moments ago that jack smith was prepared for this, that it could be a lean. how much of a blow is it to jack smith that she was in fact selected? well base is a great question. stephanie based on the rulings we are whereof, as well as what we know what federal judges, she is probably one of
before giving them on monday? these boxes have too much writing on them, i m mark too much. when can only assume that those markings were indicative of what trump wanted done with the boxes. and i think that this because, and this comes through once a few points of the indictment, most clearly in the part where he s attempting to get back at mark milley by referring to a classified document. he s waving it around at the table in bedminster. the documents are valuable to donald trump for precisely the reason they are valuable to the united states government, and they would be valuable to foreign governments. they are secret information that in their secrecy contain a kind of power. that power is the thing that he wants to wield. for whatever and. to pursue a petty grievance with mark milley, in the other case he s talking about a map, he s talking to a person proofs super pac, politically. my hunch here is it s a map of afghanistan and has to do with
i think many years to determine whether or not, whether the documents down there were in fact compromised to the detriment of our sources and the intelligence community. former cia director john brennan with some valuable analysis of what is happening here. really appreciate it. chris hayes, thank you for having this long. coming back from far flung places to be part of this moment in news, really appreciate it if you to be back with more special coverage of the federal indictment of former president donald trump right after the break stay with us ay wit us imagine you re doing something you love. rsv could cut it short. rsv is a contagious virus that usually causes mild symptoms but can cause more severe infections that may lead to hospitalizations. .in adults 60 and older. .and adults with certain underlying conditions,
