we are back with tracy walder, carol lam and cynthia alksne. i cannot make this up, carroll.could these truth social posts proved to be in trump's ongoing legal battles? the fact that he is saying that they were in boxes and essentially acknowledging that he had them in his position. >> by way a background, let me start by saying that this -- all of this litigation had been about control, it's been about who gets to control this investigation. is it the department of justice? is it the former president? is it the court? inevitably gagen, i think tracy and cynthia would agree with me, it's the department of justice that ultimately gets to control the investigation because they are the ones that ultimately get to decide whether to bring charges or not. the second point is important because this by all that, the justice department is not to be here. they don't want to be in a position where they're at to expose parts of the investigation. it's not normal, they're not used to it, they don't like it. that being said, what the former president is doing on his social media platform

ramifications of the doj filing -- what kind of case they can make -- former federal prosecutor cynthia alksneant to get that in the moment. let me start with the response brief that trump's lawyers file that just came through at 8 pm if there is -- george conway sort of reading it in realtime offices computer -- if you had a chance to go through, if there's anything that jumps off of you for you in there. >> there is a certain amount of gobbledegook involved. it is a word salad. because it does not address issue. my favorite part on page two, they say, they're not going to address the allegations made by the positive justice on pages i wrote, page 3 to 14. well, that is the meat of it. so, that is a problem. it is interesting that this lawyer christina bob has not signed it. she is apparently off. and then the allegations are, we were just cooperating and if only narrow, i just followed up -- everything would've been. done everything would've been hockey dory. so it is kind of in keeping with the original motion. it is not well done. and it is a word salad. and should not carry the >> day yea
