has a right to look into my e-mails. i don t expect harvard is going to do that and i do have a reasonable expectation of privacy if i m writing to my lawyer, if i m writing to the future president of the united states that there might be some privileges that will attach. it is not impossible that a judge may say that transition e-mails that haven t been vetted for any kind of privilege should have required a warrant, if that s even conceivable. jeffrey toobin, does this end up anywhere legally or does this just end up in the political sphere? i think what s most revealing here is that the transition lawyer wrote a letter and released it to the press and made a public stink. what he didn t do is go to court because he knew he would lose in court. i mean, this is too early. there s no standing. too early to go to court. this is part of the offensive against mueller s legitimacy. i agree with that. it s taking very different forms.
convicted of lying, admitted to lying about conversations that happened during the transition. so the transition legal ground for some people here. you brought up transition e-mails, you were the communication director for the transition team. did you have any expectation of private in your e-mails. according to the deputy counsel a you and your counsel signed an agreement that said these e-mails were subject to monitoring and there was no expectation of privacy. i assume anything that goes n into e-mails is going to be public. whether or not that s transition team or working in the official government or anything else. so i ll let the lawyers go and argue on that one. going back to my initial point, if this was supposedly about the campaign, including with a foreign entity, at a certain point the american public is realizes this is not what this is about. we don t know because the investigation is still going on. we have yet to hear from robert mueller and the team what s
prosecutor, you never want to hear a lawyer like me say that presents an interesting novel issue. you have to avoid novel issues like that. those of the transition were not quasi told their e-mails were government property. they were directly told by the gsa deputy counsel, the deputy counsel, that these e-mails lived on servers and subject to monitoring and be no expectation to privacy. does that matter here? no, because, you know, you re told that routinely. i m told i guess i m on the harvard law school server and somewhere in fine print there must be a statement saying harvard has a right to look into my e-mails. i don t suspect harvard is going to do that. i have a reasonable expectation of privacy if i m writing to my lawyer, if i m writing to the future president of the united states that there might be some privileges that will attach. it is not impossible that a judge may say that transition e-mails that haven t been vetted for any kind of privilege should have required

going to give them all these documents and dirt on hillary clinton, that they were going to give to it trump s secretary. but then they decided better to bring it in person. and these are the same probably the stolen e-mails from the democratic national committee that the campaign knew about in april through papadopoulos. the theory of the case. it is true. but i tell you, this is all making sense because it s all coming together this way. if there is one surety here is that there was a criminal act breaking into the democratic national committee. yes. and to podesta s e-mail. that s right. and the only real question was the campaign and conspiracy with the russians with respect to the ultimate goal to help the trump campaign? barbara, i want to ask about this e-mail issue which was a very strange thing. the trumps lawyers write an e-mail complaining about how robert mueller acquired the transition e-mails, which are government e-mails, how he did it. but they don t write to
