Andrew Weissmann

If you want to argue that the Mar-a-Lago case involving classified documents was trumped up, no pun intended.

I mean, look, if you're these people, you're like, what are you doing?

You're actually going to be giving a forum for exactly what Donald Trump spent years trying to avoid.

inappropriate behavior by the government or what like what do you expect to see so what's at issue here is that james bobsburg says that he gave a clear order to have the planes not take off to this prison and if they were in the air to turn them around and what he wants to know is who gave the order to have either the planes take off or not turn around he wants to know

what happened and who made those decisions.

One of the people he wants to hear from is Mr. Rouveni, who is now a whistleblower, but who was a government lawyer who defended all sorts of Trump policies and has now said, who I think clearly at the time understood exactly what James Babersberg ordered.

So he'll be a very good witness for sort of how clear the order was.

But he wants to know, the judge does,

who made the decision.

And so that could be very uncomfortable for people at the Department of Justice and people in the White House as to who did that.

Remember that Mr. Raveni has said that he was at a meeting where Mr. Bove said that we may have to tell the judges to, and he used an expletive that I, you know, I've done so many expletives, like I'm going to now stop.

Yeah.

he said that we may have to just use that expletive to the judges.

And Mr. Bove, in his confirmation hearing, he is now a Third Circuit judge, when he was asked about that specifically said, I don't recall.

He didn't say he didn't say it.

So now you have one person who said he did, and one person who's alleged to have done it, not saying, no, that's not true, just saying, I don't recall.

So if you have to weigh those two...

You kind of know what happened.

And so Judge Bosberg is going to have the hearing that I think is really, like you, I think is really important, which is there was an order.

They were supposed to do it.
