>> barbara, it brings me back to the argument that he makes about the fact that this is a message to anyone who would consider re-running this playbook with donald trump in a future election. i want to ask you georgia secretary of state raffensperger set to testify the hearing on monday and mark meadows request to move his case to federal court, what is if you will be watching for on monday? >> i will be looking for how mark meadows is able to satisfy his burden of showing that he was accurate i...

They werent advancing any interest of the united states. they were only advancing interest of donald trump as a candidate. so i think for the same reasons that mark meadows is going to have an uphill climb, i think these fake electors are going to have the same uphill climb. now, they could be that some of them prevail, we see a split. some of the defendants are tried in federal court, others are tried in state court. but for ease of efficiency, it may be that a bulk of them go to federal court,...

You know, we want to go to trial quickly. because were not sure if the aid was gonna be ready. that was a gamble, it doesnt into a paid off. >> thats a point youre making. you said its easier that the bar is low to get into federal court, but staying there is a challenge. why? >> yeah, because, you have to be able to show that the actions that you took, when you are a federal official, in the context thats being alleged the indictment, its clearly criminal in nature. so, you have to be able to s...

Up. is that a tactic? is there something going on that perhaps requires further explanation? why would you want to it happen sooner? i thought the trump plan of delay, delay, delay, would be pretty consistent with all these folks. >> yeah. first, it is warp speed. her hand was forced when she said october 23rd. why would he want to? first to separate himself out from everyone, to be able to tell his own story. defendants seek to do that by looking to sever but thats not something that a court ha...

Of them and be able to prove their case to a jury of his peers beyond a reasonable doubt as i did for seven years as u.s. attorney in new jersey and in political corruption cases like this one i was 130-0. so i know what these cases look like, i know the burden you have to meet. and what we were asked very specifically last night by bret baier and martha maccallum was if he was, in fact, convicted -- and i dont think any republican should want our standard bearer, let alone our president of the ...

Democrats versus republicans. the visual of donald trump, the former president of the united states of america having a mugshot and being held accountable for crimes that he is now accused of having committed was so important -- >> for which you will have a trial. >> correct, and have a trial in the jury of his peers, as the constitution allows to be heard and to be presented. >> because everybody says he keeps saying, im in assad, everybody knows. >> and to be clear, jack smith, and the doj hav...

Demanded but they do not get a general. it is interesting to see that we have keneth chesebro and perhaps others will make a similar request, to have his portion of the trial accelerated. there are 19 defendants in this case down in atlanta and so far one of them has elected to get the case to trial in october. trump the attorneys seem to be taking the opposite track and asking for extended delays in other cases he is facing and we are expecting them to make a similar request in this case in atl...
