bush administration plus republican ron desantis who joins us from florida tonight and steven, a formereral prosecutor. gentlemen, it's great to see all of you. steven, let's start with you here. jim comey as former fbi director, perhaps thought that, look, i'm the fbi director. i can declare what's classified and declare what's not classified and so if i shoot these memos over to pal of mine at columbia law school, no big deal. he will give them to the press and it will cause a big stir and maybe my reputation bolstered maybe even start a special counsel. but, doesn't this mean that you know, comey could be in hot water now with this new investigation? >> i'm not sure that's really the case, laura. it's important to remember exactly what we know here. we won't know for sure until the inspector general has concluded its investigation about what all the facts are for sure. but the "wall street journal" has reported that there are only two memos that comey gave to his friend that had any classified information. one of them he went through and redacted out the classified information. and t

year ago, the state department was supposed to hand over some 72,000 clinton emails, congressman desantiso we know if that's part of the deleted emails? is there any knowledge that those 33,000 emails were ever recovered that we know that she tried to acid wash and destroy? >> that's the thing, sean. you almost always can find the emails somewhere.ne yet in this case, it wasom the fbi's judgment that these 30,000 emails, we can't find them. in judicial watch litigation for foia, they identified the backup server as potentially having those. the fbi never searched that. i asked christopher wray whether they did. he could not confirm they did. we need to look at all the possible areas where those emails were because when you have emails subpoenaed, you don't just turn over the ones you want to turn over and then acid wash the rest. that's not the way it works. i think there were a lot of work-related emails that they deleted. there may have been emails related to the foundation and other things that are of interest to congress, so we've got to find them if they are out there. >> sean: congr
