i have rob d'amico as well as jim cavanaugh joining me now.y, rob because i want to get to jim too. are you concerned with the safety of the s.w.a.t. team members that have got into the home that we have witnessed by video? just because the suspect has an ar style weapon? >> you always have to be concerned but having been there and done that before, that is the job you sign up workup. that is exactly what you trained for. when there is a hostage involved , what we call danger areas. there is all kinds of danger areas when you enter a house and do things. normally if it is a slow and deliberate search and there is no hostages, there is different ways of nearing dangers and crossing them if there is a hostage involved or an innocent person you're trying to bring out of that, you bypass dangers and you have the gear and equipment, not that it is all life-saving but you have that and you're trying to get someone that is an innocent victim of the situation. that is what the job entails and that you sign up for. they sent it to be police officers an

let me bring in rob d'amico, a former fbi supervisor.s elyse reports a police have told him the suspect is alone and there are no hostages. how does that change the calculus for law enforcement. you just wait him out? >> since there is no hostages, there is no urgency to do anything that is going to jeopardize his life or the life of an officer. so, time slows down completely because you are not worried about having to save someone else's life, should he interact that way. so, it slows down, everybody thinks about saving him. the officers are now in very safe positions so that if he does go violent, they are not going to be in great jeopardy, but they will be able to respond quickly, and again, keep him into that small area, whatever they have him in. so, it has slowed down a bunch. >> rob, i am curious about something. how quickly can law enforcement find out information about a suspect? how quickly were they able to find out whether andre gordon has ties to trenton, or even to this particular house that he is in? >> its minutes. as soo

joining us now, rob d'amico, former fbi supervisor and member of fbi's rescue hostage team, and founderith us. rob, trump had this to say about the whole situation. >> thank you very much, everybody. >> this is a witch hunt. this is a hoax. thank you. >> okay. does it seem, rob, for all his complaints, witch hunt, hoax, the kind of words we have heard a lot from him, that a lot of things are going his way? >> they are, but i think the courts looked at it and probably realized the complexity of a bond like that, and looked at it and said, hey, i don't think anyone wants the drama of what people are anticipating should this happen. so i don't think it was, like, an escape, but it definitely put it off a little bit and gives more people time to think on how they're going to do things. >> it can appear to every day people, and certainly people who don't like donald trump, that he's getting some sort of special treatment. is he? >> i think he is. i mean, he's not getting treated like every other defendant. he's catching some lucky breaks here. i think just this weekend he was talking about h
