What kind of a leader of any responsibility would just sit there watching? And when they had the authority to intervene and do nothing?

Well, it`s certainly an indication that they are beginning to move on the huge elephant in the room, which was Donald Trump and his associates efforts to try to overturn the election that culminated on January 6.

There’s a lot of liability for Donald Trump in those cases as well in potential civil enforcement action by New York attorney general Letitia James.

The House Oversight Committee, under Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney has announced an investigation into that issue.

The destruction of these documents, whether he ripped them up, tore them up, ate them, flushed them down the toilet, or whatever it is, he is destroying presidential record.

The committee is actually getting a lot of evidence, notwithstanding some of the obfuscation and obstruction from the Meadows and the Bannons.

This was one of the most catastrophic events in American history, and it needs to be treated as such.

The significance is that the rule of law matters, congressional subpoenas matter, and the Department of Justice is taking the view that flouting congressional subpoenas is a crime as the criminal statutes dictate.

This is one standard of justice now for everyone.

No one is above law. We will not hesitate to use the tools at our disposal to get the information we need.

I think the biggest problem that you're pointing out is less about prosecuting Donald Trump supporters and more about actually seeing the facts, seeing the evidence and investigating the former president and those around him for trying to…

It appears that the Biden administration is not going to assert executive privilege over Donald Trump`s conversations with people in the White House.

There is absolutely no basis for Donald Trump or any of these former officials to claim executive privilege, but they will because their objective is not to win the litigation, their objective is simply to delay.

Joe Biden controls what is executive privilege right now, not Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is no longer the president.

The current administration is the one that preserves executive privilege.

It is going to be nearly a year according to the judge today before the trial happens that just I think coincidentally has potentially sort of political implications in its timing since it is right before next year’s midterm elections.

It is the Department of Justice. There is accountability in all sorts of different ways. I would argue there will be accountability potentially at the ballot box in 2022, which is going to be the first election since January 6th.

Certainly as things drip out from the Senate Judiciary Committee and Department of Justice, it is looking worse and worse as if it wasn`t just a one off, it wasn`t just one instance where Donald Trump tried to convince the attorney general…

It’s all evidence that could be used as part of some sort of sedition prosecution or a specific state prosecution.

This is the President of the United States asking the Department of Justice to prosecute his political enemy. That is Banana Republic stuff.

William Barr knows what the guys up to. William Barr could have gone public, but he leaves... knowing full well the man is attempting a coup essentially in the moment.

The more desperate, more extreme, and more untethered Donald Trump trying to cheat, or in this case, overturn the election.

I think a federal RICO charge is much more attainable than the equivalent little RICO in New York State.

If a corporation is indicted, you can expect all of its lenders to call their loans, meaning they want to be paid back because banks do not, and in some cases, cannot deal with indicted corporations.

Giuliani's best defense is that he was working in support of Donald Trump's political reelection efforts, and that's why he wanted Yovanovitch to be removed and that’s why he was digging up dirt on Biden and that’s what everything was…
