There are a lot of words you might expect a president to say over and over in the state of the yeun job address. Words like jobs, freedom, or if it is a joe biden speech, folks.

After all, the president ial records act isnt even what prosecutors have charged him with violating. Its the Espionage Act. Judge Aileen Cannon has yet to respond, but as we wait, what might jack smiths team really be getting at. Former prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst, charles coleman, and legal correspondent, lisa rubin.
