problem. sarah, this trial is happening in federal court, where cameras are not allowed. for cases significant, wouldn t transparency be better here? listen, you are our eyes and ears, and the reporters and producers who are in that courtroom. but just for the sake of transparency, you know? i i don t know if it s as much transparency, because literally, every single word that s being said and quite as being sent out in some form. but i do think that it is seeing is believing. right? so if the public sees people talking, when they can relate and listen to tone of voice, and listen to the back and forth, and that directs, and the redirects, and the cross-examination it really helps paint a picture for the public. but let s remember federal court has never had cameras allowed in the courts. and in this case, it is really about what the jury hears when you are talking about justice, it s about what the jury hears. the evidence the jury sees. and how they go about looking at it,
when you send it, it s declassified. we, i declassified everything. i mean how can we how can anybody take him seriously? it s idiotic what he s saying. people are taking it seriously. now the minds here, at least in your legal minds, except the conservative networks who are just, you know, so far, you know what that they can t see daylight. listen, whether it john dean, whether it s at the supreme court, or with a special master, does the trump have to present actual proof that he declassify anything, and will that matter to the case that the doj wants to bring? first of all, it s not relevant to a potential criminal case that is apparently the one that justice department is considering based
i do, i do. and while it is not always clear what trump is doing, it s always clear he s looking for delay. this will certainly assure some delay in. how long, it s unpredictable. clarence thomas the circuit who it s his circuit, as a member the supreme court to take jurisdiction over. he took the case right and. he could ve sat on it, done nothing. but he apparently thinks it is not a big emergency. but there is some urgency, enough to get the justice department to file a response brief. which i think will blow this whole thing right down to the minutiae it really is. which is giving trump s lawyers access to the classified documents they do not have access to. again, look, more clearly to the point is trying to make here, this emergency request is over that very narrow subset of classified documents. even if trump gets his way, do you think this is going to stop the doj from investigating his handling of these highly sensitive documents? john? is that to me, don? no, i don
objective of trying to find out what trump has done to the national security and whether or not he should be indicted for abusing our national security information. so, i think those are very much on track. and he has done nothing to deflect that. charlie, you re chomping a bit to get in here, what you want to say? it s clear to me that trump is simply trying to delay this process. that s all it s about. he wanted the district court level. and his crack lawyer team got beat unlike mules at the appellate level. he s a strike gum up the works, slow it down. i don t think it s going to i don t think it will really affect the investigation materially itself. and that s at the supreme court level. it s a hail mary pass. i do not think you ll be successful. do you think is trying to get some win here, any win? i think he would like to see the appellate court overturned. but i doubt that would. happen so, he s going to the supreme courts, you know this is a last gasp effort, he s sl
fudges the issue again. does not make any issue to say whether they re calling these document classified or unclassified. it s sort of just uses some fudge words in their, and proceeds, and does not flush it out. at some point, some judge is going to ask the lawyers for trump, to be clear, are you seeing these documents are classified or declassified? let s make it clear, get out on the table. that has not happened yet. you know, this investigation, tara, loves over the midterms and the prospects of trump running for president in 2024. he has not announced it. does it depend on how this case goes? i think this latest move is the narrative shift that i m sure he wants ahead of an announcement that he s running for president. but i have heard from people in his inner circle that these investigations are weighing down on him.
