to your point, this will blow up, no one takes letitia james seriously or alvin bragg, on jack smith. like serious prosecutors. they look like who they are, political operatives. larry: mark, i want to talk about other stuff today, just the fact that we know this guy whose never prosecuted anything, whatever he was, coached, consulting, i don't know, the white house was involved in this georgia lawsuit against trump and others but i'm going to say the white house has been calling the shots on everyone of these things. not just the justice department, not just special prosecutor, not just special counsels in washington, d.c., and in florida, but in new york without alvin bragg and letitia james. in colorado to keep trump off the ballot. in maine to keep trump off the ballot. in other words i think there is a conspiracy here where the biden white house is calling the shots in the legal war against donald trump period, end of sentence. >> and "the washington post," "new york times," will never investigate this. two eight hour-meetings. shouldn't even be a briefing with the white house. i

carroll trial mark too, is going to be aggressive here. i think it's because, like henry castor will have a better year than donald trump in 2024? >> tara, what do you think? >> it's going to be a year in which i think you'll need to be able to get a lot of voters out, going to be enforced by all the chaos. that's happening because the flight from that right, a lot of disinformation, you're going to hear culture wars, people talk about trans kids. just like freight fringe issues. a lot of people wanting to talk about the economy. at the same time, i think it's going to power democrats as well to get hispanic black and youthfulness at when they see and ultimately president who they are not that happy with. according to the polls. and i think it's going to be tough to get voters out. eventually they will. >> reminder, donald trump and joe biden are like two years apart. one of them was basically a freshman and huskily when the other was a senior. if joe biden or running against ron desantis, if he was running against nikki haley, there is an

he is also one of the six unnamed coconspirators in jack smith's indictment of donald trump.sidy hutchinson mentioned perry and his role. she did so in her eyewitness testimony to what happened behind the scenes at the white house in the lead-up to january 6th. and here is what she told a local pennsylvania affiliate about their congressman. >> i think it is also important for central pennsylvanians to know that scott perry was at the central -- was central to the planning of january 6th and central to the planning of operating the justice department officials to execute a plan that donald trump wanted. and what donald trump wanted was to essentially shred the constitution in any way that he could to stay in power. and scott perry has a lot of information about that. >> in her congressional testimony, hutchinson alleged that congressman perry was one of several lawmakers who sought a pardon from trump before he left office. we also learned from publicly-released text messages seized from perry's phone in connection to jack smith's investigation, that perry not only introduced

two marks of any special public servant.ong described deputy smith as a team player who was always willing to go the extra time he called to come in that he didn't show up the sheriff said. by living his life dedicated to instilled that passion in his family. his sons have taken up roles with a higher calling as vetera currently serving active duty in the air force and another who followed directly in his father's footsteps by pursuing a career in law enforcement. they all benefited from the love of their dad, not only forthem, but for others, and the faithful way he went about showing it in every asp■tf life. as deputy smith knew, we depend on law enforcement officers to keep us safe. his death is a tragic reminder of the risks these men and women face each day and it prompts us to ensure that we will always offer the gratitude and respect they deserve in exchange for the tremendous sacrifices that they make. i join all arkanns asÑ5 we deat i ask my colleagues to lift up deputy smith's wife laurie and his family and the sto

it's the marking on a piece of paper, maybe as pete says, it adds atmosphere to say, here's what hastional defense, but this is really a cut and dried aspect of the indictment. that's what these markings are for. he took them. he knew about the markings. he doesn't need to have sophisticated notions of how this can harm our national interest with iran. he just has to take documents that he knows he's not supposed to because of how they're marked. that is really open and shut, and as pete says, even if -- and it seems dubious in the extreme -- but even if people had it in for him at the fbi, et cetera, at the end of the day, they're marked this way, he took them, case closed as far as the act goes. he can talk about intent, et cetera, but even intent is just about knowing they have these markings, not about knowing their deep, nuanced effect on national defense. it's just not part of the case. >> pete, as "the new york times" points out, the filing asks for more information about an energy department security clearance they say trump maintained until last year that they think could he
