But, listen, the classified has even more to worry about because the county six committee, they will have at least one more hearing planned before they submit their full report. According to Committee Chairman bennie thompson, they are debating inviting some pretty big names like former Vice President mike pence and maybe even trump himself. We are going to dig into all of this. Joining me now is elie, he is the justice correspondent for the nation. He is also the author of the bestselling New York Times book, allow me to retort, a black eyes guide to the constitution. We have to give you all your flowers, elie. When all of this is going down the paschal of weeks, you were the only person that i wanted to talk to about this and get your take. Im a little confused by the multiple lenses here. An appeal, the doj is no longer appealing fighting a Special Master and they are only asking for a small state for part of the order. What do you think the dojs play is here . What is the reasoning
reporters moments ago. right now, the speaker of the house is that does not do benefits for anybody out here. so, the sooner we all come together, just keep a calm head i know you guys get excited. i don t think if you watch me that i get excited so i want to go through all this? no. but i think, at the end of the day, it s better to go through this now so we can be successful for this term. you failed three times. how do you possibly pull this off? backing out? you guys ask me the same question a lot. i will let you know when that happens. at the beginning there, you heard kevin mccarthy that the clerk of the house, cheryl johnson, is now in charge of the house of representatives, and he isn t. that is tonight s last, the 11th hour with stephanie ruhle starts right now. tonight, the cracks in the republican party on full display on capitol hill, and still no speaker. something that hasn t happened in 100 years. all of today s drama from the house fl
it s also a strategic appeal. just for perspective here, we remember doj seized 11,000 documents out of mar-a-lago. they don t like the special master ruling as to any of it. they lost on all 11,000 documents. what they re doing is saying okay, let s carve out the most important to us doj 100 of those documents. they ve given up on there being a special master for the other 10,900 other documents but with respect to those classified documents, those should not go to the special master, we should be able to use them in the criminal investigation and national security investigation, by doing that they limited the upside and won t get the special master kicked out all together but limited their downside because if you take an appeal and lose on the whole thing in the 11th circuit, that s really bad for doj and sets a worse precedent for doj so i think they re trying to be tactical and strategic in what they re choosing to go after here. this whole process is getting dragged ou
investigation. by doing that they ve limited the up side. they re not going to get the special master kicked out altogether, but they ve limited their down side because if you take an appeal and lose on the whole thing in the 11th circuit that s really bad for doj. that sets an even worse precedent for doj. so i think they re being tactical and strategic. this whole process is being dragged out. is trump getting what he wants especially if this works its way all the way up to the supreme court? to be sure, don. we have seen donald trump use delay as a tactic plenty of times before often successfully. here we are six weeks after that search was done at mar-a-lago and the special master hasn t gotten started yet and now he has until november 30th to get this done, and we ve got a pending at least a request for stay going up to the court of appeals. yes, it s moving slowly, and yes, delay is to donald trump s benefit. phil mudd, does it make any sense to you this judge can
