percenters and these cell-style militia groups, these vigilante groups, in effect that played a role in january 6th. you will hear many say this is the tyrannical federal government we were warning about. i think you will see some groups and politicians fundraising off this with some degree of outreach. but it will become a rallying cry. that s why we all need to take a deep breath but also need to recognize that hope that the doj is incredibly buttoned up before taking this kind of an action. this is not a first choice or a second choice. this must be something that involves serious national security implications. time will tell. but you do not raid a former president s home in this way if you could have gotten those documents in any other way or if they were effectively mementoes. but the far right and radical groups will this will become the new call to the ramparts. and it further ratchets up the danger of political violence.
is he going to stick with that? or does this change anything, norm? erin, thanks for having me back. this ratchets up the pressure considerably. we know he did informal cooperation, so the privilege issues can be addressed. the biden white house owns those privilege issues, that s been litigated. pat can t hide behind privilege. is he going to want to go the way of steve bannon and peter navaro, who are being prosecuted for criminal contevempt? pat s a working lawyer. he has a legal obligation to show up. he can attempt to dodge, assert privileges or answer questions however he may think is right. but he can t refuse to show up. or he faces what bannon and navaro are confronting, criminal prosecution. so he s got some tough decisions to make.
yeah, it does not, jim. and i m not sure what would cause further escalation for russia than what they ve done already. they have proven themselves to be just critically damaging to the sovereignty and the nation of ukraine. i would say the administration has performed very well in terms of planning ahead, having teams that think about the consequences and what the reaction action/reaction might be. i m not sure there s a whole lot of need for members the legislation to be suggesting what should happen next because i think the administration has great intelligence and experts doing that themselves. but, no, i don t believe it ramps up or ratchets up the dynamics. i think it s an important thing to say the kinds of things that had been said about how we re going to react to the aggression by russia. when we look at, though, how
way. the video we showed you of the mother waiting in a hospital with her daughter is heart-wrenching. these civilians do not have the resources to go west, they simply have to go underground. they are waiting out the shelley. but they will eventually run out of food and supplies and medicine come of the things we often take for granted not in a war zone. when they do that ratchets up the tension to such a level that people will still try to flee amid the cross fire, the casualties will likely arise. back to you. trey, thank you for your analysis. as always stay safe and will bring you back soon. thank you. bringing in the rest of our panel now. joey jones, what is that 40-mile long convoy means tactically for those in the ground? thanks for asking me that question, i want to address a couple of things, so people understand why these things are important before i get to the
possibility this ratchets up and there might have to be some sort of confrontation. things are, you know, vladimir putin doesn t seem to be backing off right now. things could get worse. let s hope it does not. yeah. certainly. we have seen vladimir putin seems immune at this point to the horror that many of his troops are going through, badly supplied, poorly supplied i bogged down, and massive losses in a very short period of time. of course, on the ukrainian side there are severe losses, both amongst civilians and the soldiers. the numbers of that not really clear, but that s what we have been hearing from battalion commanders and others who have spoken about it. but the resistance continues and the determine nice is strong here and this goes on, grinding on day after day. i found it interesting, as you were speaking to director clapper and jim sciutto about this display, this sort of
