He gets asked to sign a document saying that all documents were found, but he had directed his aide to move around the boxes, so the documents weren't found. - The execution of the search warrant reveals 102 classified documents in total that were withheld after two rounds of production. - Trump's former military aide and one of his employees have been charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice and other crimes related to their handling of classified documents - The charges are based on recordings that reveal the intentional hiding and retention of classified documents even after a subpoena was issued - The case is different from previous cases involving mishandling of classified information, such as Hillary Clinton's, because it involves intentional and willful actions - The host believes that Hillary Clinton should have been charged for mishandling classified information and that the same standard should be applied to all individuals who have a similar "classified information snafu" - The host argues that the stance should be to apply the same standard to everyone, not to avoid prosecution because it wasn't done in previous cases - David and Sarah discuss the indictment of Donald Trump's organization and its CFO. - David defends the indictment, citing evidence of intentional and willful mishandling and obstruction of justice. - Sarah expresses sympathy for the argument of a double standard and worries about the politicization of the Department of Justice. - They discuss DOJ protocols and clarify that Joe Biden did not have to sign off on the indictment. - Trump will be arraigned on Tuesday in Miami - Trump has changed legal teams and it remains unclear who his attorney will be - The Speedy Trial Act could result in a fast trial if Trump wanted to move quickly - It's unclear if the case will be resolved before the 2024 election - politically, it may be better for Trump to not be in jail on election day and he can continue to soak up oxygen while the case is pending - There is disagreement between the hosts on whether or not Gerald Ford was right to pardon Nixon in the Watergate scandal. - The pivot that Ron DeSantis needs to make is important timing is everything. - Nothing you've done for the conservative movement before matters in this war, this isn't about policy. - The evidence appears strong in Trump's indictment, but it's a good thing to have a judge who loves Trump and rules in his favor. - Trial will be in South Florida, now politically diverse. - Trump shouldn't go to trial before the election, as either way it could be a problem for him. - Trump's attorneys may advise him on whether to go to trial or not. - Advise for Ron DeSantis is to position himself as a defender of Donald Trump. - Debate over the National Review article: you need to get past it and vote for someone other than Donald Trump, versus the idea that Donald Trump is the only option and whoever is in power is part of the scam. - Emergency podcast about Trump's indictment by federal prosecutors in Department of Justice Special Counsel investigation - Possible future indictments for January 6th and Georgia charges - Discussion of different opinions on the January 6th charges - Updates about upcoming Supreme Court opinions and cases, including Alabama redistricting case - Hosts on vacation in Puerto Rico, discussing scenery and weather
