in the office of the conservative missouri attorney general john danforth, who recently told the slogan podcast that he hired thomas in part because of his race. >> my ambition was that the a. g.'sto be the best law office in the state. now, did i also think that it was important to have a diverse office? yes, i did. and i think that it was wonderful to hire clarence thomas for that reason. he has, but the most important reason was i had to get the job done. >> from there, thomas stardom continue to rise and conservative illegal servers, according to his ex girlfriend, arise that was predicated in part on affirmative action. >> in 1982, the white house offered don is a big promotion the chance to run his own federal agency. the trouble was that agency was about equal employment opportunity commission. this was exactly the kind of role glanced almost didn't want, a position focused on race and discrimination -- he didn't want to be there. he was resentful that he had not been offered something that a white person would want. >> thomas was in a bind. he wanted to keep rising in the administration, but he didn't want to rise this way. >> he didn't want anyone to think that he had g

s office in a new criminal case in florida. >> and there may be more added, trains on more tracks. but you mentioned laetitia grigg james the attorney general, state of new york, and she was speaking with my colleague alex wagner. she talked about how this is gonna work out jurisdictionally, and here's what she had to say. >> the special counsel has asked for a speedy trial for this. is this going to intersect with your case at all? how is everybody gonna manage the calendar here? >> in all likelihood i believe that my case as well as d a bragg and the georgia case will unfortunately have to be adjourned, pending the outcome of the federal case. so it all depends upon the scheduling of this particular case. >> that was news to me. again, this is not my area of expertise. what do you think? >> it was news to me as a set rule. i think the attorney general may be right in what ultimately transpires in terms of the schedules. we were talking about a civil case that would ordinarily be trumped in terms of next stage to a criminal case. but having filed a manhattan case first, even though it's only a matter of a month or two before the case in fl

s office and he joins me now. elliott, bill barr says this is very damaging. what say you? >> bill barr, a lifetime republican, two time former attorney general did not hesitate two months ago to say that the bragg indictment was nonsense and after reviewing the relevant statues he's right. former president trump should be concerned. stuart: are the charges strong enough to merit the imprisonment of a former president? >> look you could argue that until the president received the subpoena in may of 2022, that he was being neglect and by the way can we all agree it's really not a good idea to leave classified documents with our military vulnerabilities in a ballroom where some kid is having a barmitzvah? until they got the subpoena, they are extremely sloppy and neglect and then he gets the subpoena and the indictment lays out very detailed thorough conduct many steps taken clearly looked like they were being done to evade a subpoena. that's a crime. stuart: you sound like he could be found guilty. >> i think that the killers of the case is his former attorney, hard to attack the credibility of a lawyer who was working for donald trump, survei
