technically not something that the department needs to know and prove at any potential criminal trial. it, obviously, is nice to know what someone s motive is. it can provide evidence at trial, but it s unnecessary in this case, and we may never know the answer to that. but i would like to just say something about the court not making a ruling from the bench, that is orally, and reserving to do a written decision. obviously, this is speculation, but informed speculation, i think that is a good sign for the department of justice. it can now go forward with whatever it has been doing, the national security review by the dni, the criminal investigation, all of that can go forward. it suggests to me, especially since trump wanted everything to be stopped and to have a special master appointed, that still
all right. the court in south florida is in recess. judge eileen cannon has not yet indicated that she has reached a decision. joining me is former chief of counterintelligence and export control section in the d.o.j. s national security division. the d.o.j. and trump s team have been going back and forth, trump s team saying this is a situation of the government s wrong doing, that a special master can be expedited and conducted quickly. they just want to get another set of eyes on it. it been going on before recess for an hour and 40 minutes. are you surprised by the length of time that eileen cannon is considering? no, katy. i think in this magnitude of national prominence, she s going to give both parties as much time as they need to make their
you re seeing it where the president is and in michigan but you also saw it there in alaska where it was five points advantage for men in new registration and seven point advantage for women in new registration, if my memory serves me correct after the roe decision. so women are being energized by the decision and i think we re going to see a gender gap very large in this upcoming election in a way that you did not see in 2010 and 2014, which were better elections for republicans and democrats. i like when you get to my question without me even having to ask it, about you role of women in this next election. cornell and susan, thank you very much. stay with msnbc for the president s live speech at 8 p.m. coming up, we re waiting for president trump s request for a special master. we believe the decision or indication of a decision should come out any moment. co omeut any moment.
this problem is fixed once and for all? i think they have the organizing power. i think the mayor has a mobilized well. the question is during the mid-term elections, can we put enough pressure on officials? many people right there in mississippi need to remember they re going to be asking for your vote, both republican and democrat. and if they can tell you that they re going to make america great again, just keep taking a bath in brown water, then you can have all the leverage you want. this is a political decision made on people that have no problem with children having not to be able to go to school or being sent home, as morgan s report just gave us, because the water ran out before the lessons ran out. this should not be tolerated in a civilized society. reverend al sharpton, thank you very much for coming on and
mr. trump s office or residence. i think the fbi was trying to demonstrate everything they found by laying it all out together. if you took a picture of the box as it were, you wouldn t see that. but irrespective of how we got to that picture, nobody is questioning that those documents were found in the room. one other question before we take a break from this story, obviously we re going to follow it because we re expecting this decision to happen any moment. david, if she does rule in favor of a special master, can she argue because this is an unprecedented scenario, can she argue this is so sensitive, i want to be extra careful here and getting a special master in is not going to delay you all that much, after all you guys went through this pretty quickly, it won t be that big of a deal to add this extra layer of protection. is that a fair argument that she might rely on? i mean, she might rely on it.
