Peace process, but leaving the specifics up in the air. Why does it matter . Think back to how this year has unfolded. Powell positioned herself, when she came in, part of that wing or faction in the white house. Jared kushner, ivanka trump, but since then working to build rips with people like h. R. Mcmaster is someone that the president trusts and looks to in some of these big settings and high profile moments. And she has influence here in the west wing. That said there have also been questions about her own sort of positioning or the rumors or speculation of where she wanted to end up. She was widely rumored to have wanted to get back to new york. Her family is still there. Which is obviously potentially part of what plays into this. But i would note just a couple things here. Number one this may be just the start of what were now seeing

prosecutor s nursery because you really don t need that much to get a conspiracy charge. all you have to have is an agreement with another person to do a crime, and something in furtherance of that crime, and we could imagine a number of different scenarios, based on what was in the indictment that might furnish the grounds for a conspiracy charge. there are also charges related to obstruction of justice, and again, i ve said before on this program, it s not necessarily the crime itself. often the more detailed criminal charges result from the effort to cover it up or to conceal it. and that s exactly what we saw in this multicount indictment, more than 35 counts here. a lot of them relate to go this prospect of hiding or shielding his actions from the relevant authorities. yeah, understood, and you have tried cases, you re writing about this case. what do you see here in the strength of this case? would you say that jack smith came up with the goods or it s a
indicted. i loved hearing ken say that he s standing outside of doj and that there are no leaks. that s what s important in the american tradition of justice, and it s good to see that being restored under attorney general merrick garland s leadership. we will find out there s an indictment close in time to when it is unsealed and made public. i suspect it will be a multicount indictment, that it will have both substantive charges about the documents but also these obstruction of justice charges related to trump s efforts to hang onto the documents that he essentially said were his precious. but i think the doj may also have some twists here and we may see some unexpected things when the final indictment is revealed. all of this has been a bit of a roller coaster ride, right, for the whole country. dave, i want to remind everybody, jack smith has two parallel investigations. we ve been talking about the mar-a-lago documents case, but he s also looking into actions around january 6th.
