Do you think thats what -- driving this? >> i think partially that and also a view that to the extent that meadows has any shot at getting rid of the case on motion practice, its going to happen in a federal court and not a state court. why? >> stop one second. what do you mean by that? >> brian meadows is going to ask a judge, in a written brief, to get rid of the case, eject the case because under the federal constitution and the supremacy clause clause in particular, hes gonna say that hes im...

>> so, judge, ive been talking to lawyers, and one of the things that is notable, things get delayed all the time. this was happening very slowly. one of the lawyers could have heart surgery. theres a whole bunch of things that can happen. what is clear here, what is evident to everyone, and i think judge chutkan has been very clear, there is a strong public interest in a swift trial, donald trump and his lawyers dont want a swift trial. so the question now is, what can they do to throw sand in ...

California. author of her honor, whats broken, how to change. it harry litman served as deputys attorney general and the department of justice and both join me now. judge cordell, let me start with you. im joined when im concerned with how you think about this as a judge. theres a lot of discretion given to a judge over the timing of these things. you have an unusual case here for a number of reasons, not just the ex president has been indicted, but the campaign calendar. how do you think is a f...
