It's very, very big. Not legally, but politically, it's a very, very big deal.
This represents a very professional, thoughtful, first set of steps by Joe Biden.
If he had a receptive audience, and I will tell you, when everything -- when all the facts were to come out, it would be like Nixon and the tapes.
I think, basically, this is about power. I think he wants to cripple Joe Biden before he ever gets started.
