Summary

Who designates documents as classified? Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Andy McCarthy joins Trey to break down former President Donald Trump's second indictment, this time on federal charges in relation to his handling of classified information while out of office. Andy explains that in order for a document to be considered classified, it must be designated as such by an intelligence agency or official who has the authority to do that under the executive order. He later differentiates each classification category and what we as spectators have learned about the government's ability to keep their documents under control.

0:00.0	Our guest today is a former federal prosecutor, unafraid to call it as he sees it.
0:25.3	That's one reason I really, really like having him on.
0:28.0	You are welcome to agree or disagree with his analysis.
0:31.7	I just thought we would all benefit from hearing his answers to what I imagine are some
0:36.6	of your questions and I know that they are some of my questions.
0:40.2	And I'm also quite sure that Andy McCarthy follows politics.
0:43.0	I mean, it's hard to not follow politics and be alive in 2023, but I'm almost equally

0:54.9	So to the extent politics makes a legal question relevant or not relevant, I will ask it.

1:07.3	law and the facts as best we can.
1:10.1	And then I will, I will also add, those of you who listen to my podcast know, my wife
1:15.6	knows a lot about the Bible, Mary Langston knows a lot about the Bible.
1:18.7	I tend to get it confused with some other things that I have heard, but I'm going to take
1:23.1	a shot at remember.
1:24.1	I think there's something about being a time and a season for all things under the sun.
1:28.6	There's a time and a season, I guess, to inflame people, but there's also a time to educate
1:34.6	them and there's a time to ratify what people already believe, but there's also a time to
1:39.4	challenge them.
1:41.4	And there's a time to explain and then there's our obligation to try to understand when somebody
1:48.0	who knows what they're talking about does explain it.
1:51.0	So with that, welcome to you, former a USA, Andy McCarthy.
