legacy but pointed out it was more than just her interviews with those famous people. cnn richard roth looks back on her trail blazing career. barbara walters was one of the most fascinating people of any year in the tv era. i know i ve done important interviews. i know that i have been a part of history. was she ever? are you sorry you didn t burn the tapes? yes, i think so because they were private conversations. we read you are mad. from murderers. why did you kill john lennon. to movie stores. are you a changed man since the illness? did it effect you very much? did you mind being thought of as se sex, sex, sex? have curiosity, follow the curiosity. i m a great believer in homework. before people revealed all on social media, barbara walters was the interviewer to open up the stars. does he hit you? he shakes, he pushes, he swings. i hope they think i m fair and i can be penetrating without being a killer and i am, i hope. and which intervi

it s also a strategic appeal. just for perspective here, we remember doj seized 11,000 documents out of mar-a-lago. they don t like the special master ruling as to any of it. they lost on all 11,000 documents. what they re doing is saying okay, let s carve out the most important to us doj 100 of those documents. they ve given up on there being a special master for the other 10,900 other documents but with respect to those classified documents, those should not go to the special master, we should be able to use them in the criminal investigation and national security investigation, by doing that they limited the upside and won t get the special master kicked out all together but limited their downside because if you take an appeal and lose on the whole thing in the 11th circuit, that s really bad for doj and sets a worse precedent for doj so i think they re trying to be tactical and strategic in what they re choosing to go after here. this whole process is getting dragged ou
