Statements during the campaign that he was interested in pursuing a case against donald trump? you just don t have the same level of comfort in a state prosecution that you do with a federal prosecution. but of course when the focus was on hillary clinton back in 2016, you and other prominent republicans were taking it to the democratic nominee. at that time, we can bring up a comment of yours from a trump rally in 2016. this was reported at that time you said to the crowd quote . this is october 26th 2016. lady justice doesn t see black or white. she doesn t see male or female. she doesn t see richard poor but soon, lady justice will see hillary clinton. setting aside the fact that hillary clinton was never charged with any wrongdoing. why not demand accountability? in this trump case, no matter who the prosecutor is. i think there should be accountability in this case. um but this is a hillary clinton was being investigated in the federal system. and as i said, there are layers and l ....
Washington post is reporting that the justice department has reportedly gathering more evidence of possible obstruction in the investigation of classified documents at mar-a-lago, specifically, their indications he looked through boxes. this is, according to the washington post after the subpoena, possibly to keep from surrendering them. um you have previously said his handling wasn t a concern, and he may have just wanted the documents for future book. does this report changed that view at all on your part? well what changes my view of the prosecute to toria, where the ability to prosecute this case is that mike pence also had classified documents that joe biden had classified documents after he left the vice president s office . i think it s very difficult to prosecute a case against one person when there was via when there are violations by a number of people. i think that they re not saying all of the saying that all of these, the president president biden, vice president pence pen ....

Cnn, are requesting work transparency on the indictment. they want to see the indictment unsealed. to avoid, you know additional speculation and, you know, you know, i guess we keep talking about what s in the indictment. without even seeing what s in the indictment. it would be nice to know what s in the indictment, but also, um a lot of media organizations would like to see these proceedings and i think a lot of americans would like to see these proceedings. televised trumps his arraignment, the trial and so on. is there a good case to be made there? and do you think that we might see that? i think there is no the federal courts. you ll have that blanket rule no television. i m not as familiar with new york courts do. it certainly seems like a case which is worthy of televising, and i think a lot of the concerns about tv affecting the judges and the lawyers. i don t think that s true anymore. it might have been true back in the day with o. j. simpson s case, which was televised, whic ....
