the rest are new expenses incurred. what is fascinating and disturbing is $1.9 million of that money, went to paying the u.s. marshals to protect jack smith, his family and prosecutors, working on the case, many of whom have been name checked on social media by donald trump. and his supporters. people went out of the way to tell me that number was rising rapidly as threats were increasing. the reports are coming out from smith s office on expenses, we re going to see that number rising. we ve seen protected expenses for other special counsels, incluing robert hurr, but they are much less. i m told, the sources tell us, that the effort to protect smith is something we have not seen before. when you look, glen, at the
security. they don t want that to be their identity. and they re praying it away. that s what s going on. and from a law enforcement perspective, it is a complete denigration of the rule of law. when you have presidential candidates, like pence, like tim scott, already coming out and saying we don t know if there s charges. maybe he did it. maybe he didn t. are you dismissing before it happens a legal case? are you saying whatever happens will be unlawful because you decided that you re the arbiter of what is criminal and what is not? it s dismissive of our institutions. and of reality on earth. we need both of you to stick around longer for us.

raid of southbou subpoenas on ty 6th case. todd windham was running out of doj. when a couple of people were on the subpoenas. they were asking local officials, republican officials in georgia, if they had information on the activities of others. this is what is fascinating about the smith probe. we don t know until and unless an indictment is unsealed. we don t know unless there s a trial. to the two glenns, thank you so much for spending so much time with us. frank sticks around a little longer. frank, i feel like i left you out. i have to find you another frank. one republican candidate
