the white house is kicking back to the office of intelligence, and they say odni, office of the director of national intelligence is reviewing the information and trying to determine what could be classified or declassified in doing so in responsible manner. meanwhile you have congressional republicans, they have largely maintained that a lab leak started the pandemic. i ve seen most of the of the classified portions of the report that the president had ordered, and the 90-day review and in that, i think people are going to be surprised, that report is very, very different than what the administration released publicly. they ll have a greater picture, help to get to the bottom of this. two former officials say a prominent scientist working on the coronavirus project at the
really good care of these dark documents or information whenever you see them, just strewn about across the shower room floor. i think those five eyes, australia, new zealand, canada, great britain, the united states. those are the five in that particular group that share. let me ask you quickly, because you bring up the dni not giving an assessment. he says, confirms that this hasn t been provided to congress and the assessment of the potential risk to national security. why does that not surprise you? we know that the odni declined to comment, but do you think one is coming and how soon might that happen? i wouldn t know how soon it would have been, i do imagine it is being done. it also may not be complete in the sense that this investigation seemed to be going on for quite some time. we knew about the search warrant going back many months ago. it looks like some of these events went back two years, so
this is an overreach. we need to look at the system, why all these different presidents and sometimes vice presidents and congress people are having classified documents in their possession. it doesn t translate into climb no matter what the underlying facts are. the point of the letter is not full-throated defense of everything we could say at trial which is numerous defenses and moments of overreaching by doj, but to point out that a congressional fix, an odni-based fix is the way to go here. you also signed a letter arguing the former president didn t know what was in the boxes, but here s what he told kaitlan collins. when we left washington, we had boxes lined up on the sidewalk outside for everybody people are taking pictures. everybody knew we were taking those boxes and the gsa, government service, they were the one taking them. they brought them down to mar-a-lago. so you signed this letter and
congress, you made it a point to not opine about whether the documents were classified why not if as you say, that your client was doing a quote, standing order that the documents were moved from the oval office for automatically declassifying? that document was designed to make a very specific point. what we said is that the doj refuses to show us the affidavit. doj refuses to show us the documents despite having clearance to review them. we have no way of knowing whether any of these documents, even by their own terms, would be considered classified, much less declassified by the president. the point was to say to congress, in a nonpartisan way, this is an overreach. we need to look at the system, why all of these different presidents and sometimes vice presidents and congress people are having classified documents in their possession. it does not translate into a crime, no matter what the underlying facts are. so the point of that letter was not to give a full defense, if everythi
helping joe biden at his debate try to tell the american public that the hunter biden laptop wasn t real. in fact, now we know it s real and the filth that s there and all of the evidence of financial transactions which are highly questionable are there are real. we had brennan, the former cia director, who along with clapper, the head of the odni, was one of the big perpetrators of the russia hoax against the trump administration who admitted in his deposition, well, this was just political. what that translates to was this was just a lie. maria: yeah, and we just saw the sound bite that joe biden used it at the debate, and he basically said that s what he wanted. he wanted to be able to say intelligence officials think it s garbage, and he said it. and now that an election happened and he fooled the american people again. well, what s really troubling is people as they look at that clip should know that joe biden knew that he was lying. joe biden knew that he was lying to the ame
