whether it was through jack smith, as a special counsel, or through the normal line prosecutors who were running this originally, if there's gonna be an indictment of donald jmade by merrick garland, it's not gonna be by the prosecution. and jack smith, if he's gonna do it now, he's gonna bring that to merrick garland first, to basically say if you want to overrule me, speak now, or forever hold your peace. it's a bureaucratic issue at this point. it doesn't change anything. it's gonna be an indictment. it doesn't matter who's running it at this point. >> lisa, do you have a similar opinion. i mean, what do you make of smith's role in all of this? >> i think as bradley just said, smith's role is really to play senior department leadership with respect to the running of the day to day investigation. but that the end of the day, and the special counsel regulations for this prerogative to the attorney general, at the end of the day, the attorney general has the right to know what recommendations are being made and to refuse them. he also has the right to preview any report that the special counsel wants to release to congress. so, it doesn't remove merrick gar

[ laughter ] which, i'm not a lawyer, but seems like he just admitted in writing to taking the documents. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] maybe he's right. maybe we don't need a special counsel, he just closed the case himself. [ laughter ] saying you committed the crime "openly and transparently" is not a defense. it's a confession. because he's scared. trump is so scared of jack smith, you'd think he was a windmill.
