could, in the end, be meaningless. according to reporting in politico reinhart carefully reviewed signing off and considers the affidavit to be reliable. judge reinhart also notes that donald trump s legal team has not at this point filed anything, anything at all in the legal battle over the affidavit that is despite their public demands that the affidavit be made public in all of their bluster and extreme rhetoric about a supposed lack of transparency from doj. rhetoric that, of course, has led to a surge in threats against doj and the fbi. team trump s total silence on the issue in court raises even more questions about what politico terms the throw everything against the wall response to the search itself. they write this. trump and his team have not yet settled on a single approach about what may come, in. trump has often used litigation to delay and has loathed to go on offense particularly when he s likely to lose. while it is unclear whether the former president or an
of reaching out by doj, it appears that all seven were replaced by john solomon and kash patel and that was done by the former president and it was just a very interesting confluence and there s a reason that those two people were interviewed by doj and i think that s again, just two of what i would strongly suspect is their attempt to try and talk to all seven. no go ahead. you were general counsel to the fbi. there were deputy counsels and deputy general counsels to the office of the presidency. do they have skin in the game? do they have legal exposure if they re not on the side of trying to protect u.s. national security in terms of the handling and chain of command of the handling of those documents? they might not have a legal exposure if they were trying to
both as a nation and around the country over these last several years and i decided i couldn t sit on the sidelines any more, both for my congressional district where we have seen some of the impacts of the pandemic that have exposed the inequities in health care and the economy. i want to go back in congress and fight for my district and fight for our country. we talked so much the last several years about the damage that s been done to our democracy and i believe that it is time for my voice with the leadership that i have, i served in the majority and the minority as a rank and file member and in the leadership of the democratic caucus in congress and i m looking forward to going back, joining me colleagues, feet to the fire, to make sure we can preserve and protect our
