This is the destruction of our democratic institutions, institutions that we rely upon to keep our communities safe.

We’ve got a crazy fake president.

He doesn’t know. He doesn’t know. And there’s uncertainty. And he has to be worried that his former lawyer will cooperate in Georgia.

In the federal system, when folks plead guilty and cooperate, they have to disclose all of the information that they have about anyone, no matter who it is. They don`t get a carve-out.

So we have a situation where Weisselberg either thinks he`s smart enough to lie on the witness stand, is perhaps willing to face a longer time in prison than the five-month deal that he`s caught, or maybe he hopes that he can say he…

He should be issued a subpoena and it should be his honor to testify truthfully.

Nothing good happens for the former president if parts of this affidavit are released, because what they will establish is the probable cause that DOJ had to search his personal office at Mar-a-Lago.

The whole country’s been waiting to see what Merrick Garland is doing. This week Merrick Garland told us that he has a criminal investigation, and he had the authority from that judge to go in and seize the office at Mar-a-Lago called 45.

Merrick Garland apparently, according to our reporting, wrestled with this decision to raid Mar-a-Lago for weeks. He is not known as a knee jerk, shoot from the hip attorney general kind of dude.

I have to push back a little bit on the characterization of it as a raid, because this is a search warrant that a federal judge authorized based on probable cause.

During Trump`s tenure, Congress passed a statute that actually stiffen the penalties for mishandling classified material, turning it into a felony, with a mandate -- with a maximum five year sentence.
