at the inception each of these investigations in the same way. by bringing in a special counsel to review the biden side of this document saga, i think the attorney general has done exactly that. he needs to now resource it in the same way that he has the other special counsel, he needs to step away from it. not subjected to the sort of day-to-day oversight that you have given maybe two u.s. attorney. that seems to be the way he s treating jack smith. i have no doubt he ll do those things. but from this point forward, laura, these cases will go, i suspect, in very different directions. they will follow the facts in the law, and so far, from what we ve seen, the facts of these two situations are very different. john, i m really interested, based on your prior role in particular, about the idea of why it is biden was tightlipped about the investigations. obviously, from the doj perspective, there is a level of gravitas that must be assigned, and you don t really want transpar
