things that our intelligence community cannot do, and the techniques used. it could be singular nature. conversation could be one of these documents that only one person overheard. if someone saw the document, they would say, there s only one person i told that to. i know the sources working for the u.s. government. the same goes for the noforn, not allowed for any national to see. orcon, original agency control, don t give this to anyone without asking us first. this goes on and on and on. it s the most sensitive information we can how, and one of the worst places it can be from a security standpoint. tracey, i want to bring you in on this too. the affidavit describes secretive classifications, as prince, said one human intelligence, the clandestine sources. tell us, when you saw that and that was one of the classifications, what went through your mind? yeah, so, it was really interesting. you know, there was a lot of
national archives and the fbi, and the former president for the of the documents that was unsuccessful, therefore prompting the search of the residents. to my mind, one of the most surprising details that emerged, and again goes to the point that hugo just raised, was the idea that the president had had this information. there is information perhaps that they would find likely evidence of obstruction, either manipulating the documents, or manipulating evidence or the circumstances that the fbi sat found, that speaks to someone being close to the former president that can relay that kind of information. there s lots of information about the evidence that would support a chart under the espionage act. the obstruction was redacted, that goes to the point that hugo made about there being a close source in the presidents million. what about you, tracey, did you read anything that raised new red flags?
about the fact that the fbi has done an excellent job of dodging all their eyes and crossing other t s. an fbi agent mention to the fbi s counterintelligence class at quantico, i attended that class, you do get top-notch training in how to handle these types of investigations. i m curious before i ask you a question, to go, on the heels of that. tracey, what does it say to you when donald trump says i want this entire thing released, i want the entire affidavit put out there? i think all we have to do is to look at the classification levels that were released in that affidavit, and that is enough reason as to why donald trump and his associates should never have access to what s in that affidavit. okay, point made their. hugo, one of the reasons that the doj argued against releasing the affidavit, despite trump calling for, it it was out of concern for all of these witnesses that came
begged here, how much more information did they have that they re withholding because they want to protect those individuals or those sources down the line in the investigation? i know from my reporting, there s another a number of people who have been contacted by the fbi who have not yet spoken to investigators. okay, which means we ll have to have you back to talk about that when you find out. more melissa, tracey, you have an open invitation to come join. me thank you both so much. with so many invitations whirling about, how is donald trump dealing with it all? new reporting shed some light on why he hasn t been seen in public since the mar-a-lago search. what has he been up to besides writing anger fueled social media posts? and, it was a fight that led to utter madness at a high school football game last night. but something else made it a moment of sheer terror. a moment of sheer terror moment of sheer terror all-new subway series menu. let s hear about this #7 pick, from a f
that really could make merrick garland say that this is unfair, and righteous prosecution. and i do not think that there is any doubt that they will have the goods in terms of the law. and the evidence. so this is something that really could be put together within a few months. talk about unprecedented. unprecedented, indeed. peter baker, harry lippman, frank, tracey walter, thank you all. coming, up what the republican response to the affidavit has been subdued. trump allies has been all politics. we re gonna get into that side of today s allegations. when the 11th hour continues!
