Stephanie. let me just take a step back, because i think keeping eyes on the prizes port and here. the reason they executed the warrant to begin with, was to get evidence they could use in an investigation, and perhaps the trial if they charge anybody with a crime. and so, when way the other, the department of justice in the fbi, are eventually going to get that. either through their internal filter team, screening through privileged materials, or if the judge appointed special master. i imagine the doj will say, among other things, we ve already reviewed the material, it s not that difficult, we don t need to go through this extra step, and that extra step is only going to slow us down, it s inefficient, and for the purpose of delay so let s get going. but stephanie, regardless, the investigation is ongoing. the entire investigation doesn t grind to a halt over this one issue. there are other facets to, it i m certain it s moving forward all right, but is this going
But stephanie, regardless, the investigation is ongoing. the entire investigation doesn t grind to a halt over this one issue. there are other facets to it and i m certain it s moving forward. all right, but is this going to be a be careful what you wish for,? if we get this 40-page explanation, does not not look like the doj showing up with receipts there has to be a lot of content in their yeah, i think it s very telling that they actually asked for this expanded page count. that signals to me that the justice department wants to lay out a set of facts here and tell their side of the story in a more robust way than we ve seen, let s remember, the facts we have seen today have largely come from court filings before the search. and so, this would be the first court filing that would lay out a set of facts after the search. when i will be looking for in particular, to see if there s any more about evidence towards
That search warrant. what s happened between may and june, when they requested documents from mar-a-lago, when they got documents from mar-a-lago, and how they knew what they got was done and everything? so i haven t gotten through all of 36 pages yet. but the government has pretty much walked us through exactly what they did in the process that led up to this. those initial 15 boxes came at the very beginning of the year. 14 of those boxes that were turned over the dock national archives. by donald trump. 14 of those 15 boxes contain classified information, including top secret information. they ve been negotiating with him for a while, while referring to the justice department. there s a response the initial subpoena, rather, in early tune. months later, two months after a grand jury subpoena, is when
Team. so it sounds like the work is done, and i think you are quite right. by asking someone else to do the work that s already been done in a manner approved by another federal judge and then it would undermine some confidence in the department of justice. that said, if the judge feels strongly that a neutral third party special master is necessary here, it will slow things down a bit, but again eyes on the prize. at the end of the day, the investigative team, the fbi and the prosecutors working the case will get the stuff they are entitled to. chuck, i want to take our eyes back to that image, the documents, and i want you to explain it to us one more time. because for civilian eyes like mine, we haven t seen things like this before. walk us through this one more time. these boxes in trump s home. explain those with the red around them, and the yellow on
