brief, revealing new details. this filing was 19 page es. it did acknowledge that classified material was found at mar-a-lago earlier this month. but essentially, it says it wasn t a big deal. says quote, the proported initiation for the probe was the alleged discovery of sensitive information contained within the 15 boxes of presidential records. but this discovery, end quote, was to be fully anticipated given the very nature of presidential records. simply put, the notion that presidential records would contain sensitive information should never have been cause for alarm. this is part of a bid by the trump team to have a special master appointed. a judge holds a hearing on that tomorrow. and this comes on the heels of the very serious claims laid out in the justice department s 36-page filing, including another quote here, evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the storage room at the
words. what we are seeing to me as a self-proported that trump s lie trackers are different. these are not the usual exaggeration. what he has been doing is making big things up. these are fabrications about immigrations and healthcare. he told the wall street journal that the tariffs he imposed and bragged about don t exis exist what tariffs in we don t have any. i don t think there is any words other than brazen lying. the west wing staffs watched him make up a 10% middle class tax cut between now and the midterms. congress is home. they are recessed until after the election. that s a physical impossibility. to your day job, tamyra, how are members of the west wing staff reacting to just the verbiage
cover-up plan. if true, it meant there was a lawyer on the inside ready to turn the kind of thing that could end a presidency which partly did because this man john dean had knowledge almost no one else had telling investigators that nixon had prior knowledge of payments used to buy the silence of watergate and nixon was deeply involved in the cover up. this was considered quite potent and evidence to support his charges against the president and most of his allegations are based on his own election or proported conversations with mr. nixon. wow. i think three things jump out there. one there is no more dangerous person to flip than your lawyer. two, abusive power can backfire. we probably know the answer to that. maybe he has seen the movie.
when it came to nixon, obstruction of justice abuse of power and con testimony of congress. i want to zero in on abuse of power. this is marc kasowitz, donald trump s lawyer and his response to james comey on thursday. mr. comey admitted that he leaked to friends of his proported memos of those privileged communications, although mr. comey testified that he only leaked the memos in response to a tweet. the public record reveals that the new york times was quoting from those memos the day before the reference tweet. we ll leave it to the appropriate authorities to determine whether these leaks should be investigated along with all the others that are being investigated. marc kasowitz is factually wrong of the time line of the
investigation into attempted russian interference in the 2016 election. mr. comey admitted that he leaked to friends of his proported members of those privileged communication, one of which he testified was classified. mr. comey also testified that immediately after he was terminated, he authorized his friends to leak the contents of those memos to the press in order to and mr. comey s words prompt the appointment of a special counsel, close quote. on the one hand, they re looking at comey as a credible witness because he said the president was not under an investigation at point certain point. they took issues of a number of thi thing that is comey said. now, also denying president trump ever ask comey backing off
