what donald trump has done here, i mean, he was totally careless, reckless, and as al said, dangerous with the way he has handled classified material. hell, he absconded with it is what he did, and al franken and i both know we had the privilege to sit in classified briefings, and they would hand us paper. we would read the paper and we would give it back. any of us who wouldould have ne walked out with those documents and chose not to return them, of course the g-man s going to show up at our house and they re going tyake them back. that s just the way it is. this is a pretty straightforward case, and you know, i urged my colleagues at the time of the search of trump s home to be very measured, be very careful because this is not a time to start defending a man who has done something that any member of congress, i m sure they d be prosecuted for it, and trump is dangerous, and as barr said, the fact that how could he declassify this stuff? there s a process to do this.
the fbi gestapo. no, they would want him under guantanamo. they would be demanding that barack obama be held under guantanamo. and anybody walked out of scif you re not going to be able to do it. you walk out of scif with a bunch of secret material and hide it and keep, you re going to jail. so, i don t understand what these people are talking about. why does it work though? why do they rally around the flag? what s key to the trump brand is the idea of defiance. defiance requires two things. i requires an unjust attack, and it requires you being strong in the face of an unjust attack. even though this is the opposite of an unjust attack the gestapo went and grabbed people. they didn t grab boxes. they grabbed people. the g-men shows up and takes the boxes where they belong, that s not the gestapo. but you can present it as this unjust attack, and look at trump, he s being defiant. and that display of strength and it s something that the republican party for right
this person who, you know, it s one outrage after another. well, anderson, some of those statements you played previously by some of my former colleagues were simply incendiary and way out of bounds. as margaret said i mean, lindsey graham is on the judiciary committee. yeah, i mean, look they should be following the lead of john katko and brian fitzpatrick, both of whom have law enforcement backgrounds. they are exercising the proper restraint, circumspection, caution. that s what they should be doing right now. and i think most of these members know that the former president has no boundaries. these members know too that had they walked out of the scif, the secure containment facility, with classified material taking them home, they know assuredly a g-man would show up at their door wanting them back. for the former president to go out there and say, all americans are under attack, that s absurd.
to that. let me get charlie dent s reaction. what do you think, congressman, of these developments? i agree with governor kasich. let me first say this. if any member of congress, john kasich or i when we worked there, if we walked out of a scif with classified material, took them home and decided we weren t going to return them, i can assure you we would have had a g-man come visit us and take those back. there would not have been any negotiation. each member of congress knows that they have to sign a document each session, basically warning them of the dangers of handling classified material and the potential for violations of law. and for donald trump to go out there and say that he is a victim and that all americans are victims because the government issued a search warrant to take its material back, that s ridiculous. the average american doesn t handle classified material. but the president of the united
you. so let s k you choose any pronon you want for your death certificate. titus sou always makes me think of what you always say. it s always these little external concerns, fake fake issues they spend their time on while the real stuff just goes wherever they live. first world problems, right,g man? first o of all, the whole pronoh thing i think missing a big thing. you haveha to know the person tt know the pronouno, right?im so when someone the first time you walked by somebody y and you say oh excuse me sir. oh , it s ma am just you. yeah. how am i supposed tom know. yeah. and now they re letting them fill out emergency contact forms with theirency pronouns in their exes. so get this straight. there s a fire right and you re down. so okay, try to get down to us . can you give me some informationmeyes,? yes, it s it s a unicorn
