follow up on, because he has really done a herculean job when you think about how recently he was appointed and how much he has accomplished since that time. yeah. i completely agree with that andrew given just the recording of the evidence that we have so far. barb, i have to ask about this. valentine s day meeting in 2020 that we talked about at the in short of the second segment. trump was briefed by his various intelligence heads and is so enamored of the security in place for the election that he wants to put out a press release about it, or suggest the agencies put out a press release about and brag about the security of the election. how meaningful is that information as jack smith tries to establish that trump knew what he was doing were lies in terms of election fraud? i think it s another brick in the wall of the evidence. it s not the whole case but prosecutors are going to have to show that he had this intent to fraud, his corrupt intent,
understand the law to swallow that. but that is the reality the republican party is in. now, does it help donald trump in the primary? you bet it does. but does it help the republican party in this country? no it doesn t. because as that poll just showed you alex, 47% of republicans aren t for donald trump, and a chunk of them are really worried about these indictments. they are much more persuadable in a general election to leave their party and reject donald trump, maybe not a primary where it won t be enough, but in a general election it can reelect joe biden. i have to ask you sort of on the other hand, not trying to draw false equivalence is here, but we see the plot that is being hashed out in the open by lee s congressional republicans who are very much doing the bidding of donald trump. today the speaker of the house of representatives, kevin mccarthy has suggested a potential impeachment inquiry into president biden for what i

so i think that is a key aspect. obviously there could be holes, last-minute holes that are being filled, whether it s bernie kerik or people are suddenly cooperating he would be not cooperating before, that s another possibility. but i still think we are really close to the finish line. we just don t know exactly where that line is. barb, andrew mentions bernie kerik and for those who ve not been following this saga of bernie kerik as it pertains to january 6th and the claims of a stolen election, he was working on a report for rudy giuliani and has now turned over the notes from this report to the special counsel s office after basically foot-dragging for a while. it sounds like that report contains a lot of and this is not an official term, who we.
