revealed today by the committee. one particularly interesting one is don jr. and the texts that he was sending to mark meadows. i want to juxtatoes what he sent the day after the election, the day after his father lost the election, and then what he sent on january 6th. i think there is an arc between the two. the first one that he sent that he claims is not his writing and doesn t sound like his voice frankly and he also claims he doesn t remember who sent it to him, it says we have operational control, total leverage, moral high ground. potus must start second term now. state assemblies can step in and vote to put forward the electoral state. republicans control 28 states, democrats 22 states. once again trump wins. that is the road map the day after the election, ron, for how to keep donald trump un-constitutionally in office. okay? now, fast forward to january 6th when they ve tried some of these things. and suddenly donald trump jr. is texting a different tune. here it i
i always had a few questions about it. reporter: the campaign, pretending to be your chief of staff. you know, i didn t know about that. it happened i was not notified about that until a later date. reporter: did you speak to him about it at all? yeah, i didn t know about it until a later date unfortunately. house speaker kevin mccarthy thought george santos resume was questionable before revelations about his lies were discovered and there are so many lies. some of them. others, like the fact that his political person pretended to be mccarthy s chief of staff. there s so many. i m sure he s not thrilled about that at all. as for santos, have we gone from ridiculous lies to russian ties? the bizarre saga takes another turn with new reporting that links him to the family of a sanctioned russian oligarch. hold on now. meanwhile, republicans remain focused on president biden. they re laser focused on biden and his handling of classified documents. the
information that s over classified. that being said, when you went in and you looked at classified information that you had read in the new york times five minutes earlier, that didn t mean you took the classified folder out of there or that you would have taken it out of there, and i guess that s the thing that i m so curious about is, again, with biden, most likely, we don t know, but most likely, knowing how these things work, it was, you know, staff that was probably packing folders, and you just do wonder how folders marked classified get out of areas where the classified documents are supposed to stay. well, i think probably for presidents and vice presidents, they sometimes have the opportunity to look at documents that are brought to them by people. and clearly what has occurred here is documents have been brought to them in their offices by people that have had some kind of classification on it. you don t know whether it s top
him and when it comes to these documents, politically they cancel each other out, which happened before with another candidate, which we can talk about. but at the same time, there are huge differences here. and the difference is that donald trump took the documents and refused to give them back. those of us who understand that donald trump is a fraud and a liar are grasping tightly to those differences, and i get it. i get it that what donald trump did is totally different than what joe biden did. but as a prosecutor, i will tell you, we need to have a sober moment because when a jury is trying to figure out whether someone should be held criminally responsible, that s going to be in their head. let s not kid ourselves here. the easiest case for the special
that may all be true, and at the same time, if i m on the intel committee and i m a democrat or a republican, i want to get to the bottom of this. i want to know what documents, even if it wasn t the intention of the then vice president to have those documents there, i want to know what documents were at an unsecured location in wilmington in a garage, so i think both parties should be aggressively trying to figure that out along with the doj. 100%, and it does not behoove any democrats, progressives, liberals, pundits, anyone to be dismissive about the substance of this question. we don t know what the nature of the documents was in total. we don t know how they got there. joe biden may or may not know how they got there. he says he doesn t. we don t know. if we want to be taken seriously when we criticize what donald
