You bring out the literary genius in me, scott. im wondering what you make of the idea of, look, we hear -- we heard a lot through the mueller years. i go back to the mueller years because people had a patience issue, shall we say? and i feel that often as were conflating whats happening then with whats happening now and you see the patience or inpatience carrying over. and sometimes democrats are saying, this is it, this is it, this is it. and republicans are saying, it still aint it, it still ...

Abortion at 24 weeks versus a back alley abortion at 37 weeks. any good prosecutor who is following the law will look at the facts of the case and the law before making a charge decision. again, the governor is just upset that i am not kowtowing to his agenda. and one upholding the law here. on abortion, the law is clear that 15-week ban is unconstitutional, and i said i will not enforce it. >> i know that you have been suspended. what is your thought on the anticipation of possibly being reinst...

To have shifted. it was not the case a year ago. most of them thought, no, hes teflon don. he wont get indicted. thats a big shift to me. that is own people think hes gonna get indicted. but forget x trumpers, people who work for him. who cares what i have to say? a federal judge in california said those four words, more likely than not, that he committed a crime. i think thats probably the most damning thing we have seen so far in terms of assessments of his criminality. >> what do you think, e...

Going to prosecute a case like this without having a case before you, will help out having the specific -- you did say that if that law was passed, you then would not do something to prosecute. why would that be excusable, if a prosecutors job was to enforce the laws as written? >> im glad that you asked that, it is a great question. because upon my hand on the bible and swore to uphold the u.s. and state constitutions. at the time, i saw that roe v. wade was the law of the land, under the u.s. ...

Scott jennings, abbey. i get it. were lawyers. we bill people. we dont do the math. what do you make of the idea, governor desantis has somebody suspended, basically escorted out of the building, because he wont eventually look at a case in his mind case-by-case and doesnt want to -- doesnt intend to follow what the supreme court says hes supposed to follow or not follow. whats your thought? >> two take aways, laura. number one, that governor desantis used the word "woke" in that speech very int...

Individual prosecutor puts himself above the law. yes, you can exercise discretion in an individual case, but that discussion has to be individualize in case specific. you cannot just say that you will not do certain offenses. >> so thats not what you are doing, you are saying. you are by signing that letter. -- he do still intend, should you be in a position to actually look at it case by case basis, is that right? >> yes, and ive said this on the beginning, where we are talking about the abort...

Of misinformation more broadly and a combination of frustrations towards that and accountability. we talk about the treaty of crafting, devers is actually used with the generous experience to describe the campaign that was used to try to get money off of election related lies. i think there is a broader conversation. are you convinced that that the idea sending a message -- do you think that the message translates more broadly, or do you think that this is so nuanced, they will go, no, no, this ...

Fully understand whats happened today. were you presented with a case, where you were told or had the opportunity to prosecute somebody, who was seeking, providing or in some way, helping to acquire and abortion, and he refused to prosecute? or was this a hypothetical that you were released on? >> you will have to ask the governor. i certainly wasnt presented with any case, and just this shows how flagrant this overreach is. this is a play in violation of the most fundamental principles in our d...
