tell us what else you ve learned. i mean, i think it s significant especially the photos yout discussed last hou that show just how this was organized. i think a key part of this is essentially them not trusting the trump team because after they had that initial grand jury subpoena that was delivered, you had this filing that was signed by a trump lawyer, name is redacted in this latest filing, so weis don t know based on the filing who it was, but has been reported publicly about this trump lawyercl said there was n responsive documents left. lo and behold when they went and executed the search warrant there were allec these document left. so there s still information we don t know about how they got the source of that information. but the key part of it is that they were right. we can see by the product what they were able to seize from donald trump s mar-a-lago facilityag down there that the information they had about himt continuing to hold onat to classified informatio
produced is farfetched. what they re saying on this second part of this is that there was clear obstruction of justice. when they put a certification to the department saying they produced everything and they did that in june before the search was conducted saying we have done a diligent search and everything was found, the department says, we developed evidence that that wasn t the case and we know from the search and from the photo that you re displaying that that was clearly not true. so, the key take away here is donald trump and the two lawyers corkran and bobb have to be saying, this is not a good development because two lawyers certified either drafted or themselves certified that they
justice department. and i think it is not only the most damning, it s the piece of information that puts him in the most legal jeopardy. i think if you had a case where a former president had taken documents either by mistake or willingly and they were found to be classified and that former president then returned them to the engovernment, it would be vy hard for the government to make a g criminal case with that setf facts. but when you have the facts as they re laid out in this pleading, wheren not only did e former president hold on to those documents for h months, delay giving them back to the justice department, then not return them when he got a subpoena not only that but seems to have concealed them and according to the justice department, removed some of the documents from the room where he said or r his attorneys said th were being stored and some of them show up in his office and the government only finds them when they come in and execute a search anwarrant, that s a very da
they said the former president retained documents that were derived from signal intelligence, so the kind of work that we do to penetrate foreign government emails or communications and if that information is exposed, you would see a foreign government target maybe stop using a phone or stop using an email account they re using. the government said it contained documents derived from human intelligence, information derived from either american intelligence operatives or people in foreign governments or in foreign countries with whom they interact and of course, if their identities are exposed, you could see those people arrested or even worse. and i think one of the points i found particularly compelling the government made in its filing is if the judge were to proceed and appoint a special master to delay the review of documents in this case and delay the government from doing its job, it s not just it doesn t just van impact on the justice department s case. and could slow down doj
donald trump is going to bela making. they re going to keep this within the confines of their court filings. they make a very compelling case here and assisted with that visual element. jeff, i keep saying to you, you covered trump for year. youtr covered him for years. d yeah. over the last 24 hours he has loved truth social. he s posting all sorts of things. yet this comes out and we have not heard one word from him. his last post was two hours ago pumping people to buy jared s book. so what s he doing? io can t explain that. unless, perhaps, as i was suggesting earlier, he s listening to some of the advice from people in his circle to just hold back and not use some of the n techniques that he usually does. but i mean, you referenced how long i ve covered him and you ve covered him as well from your
