less troubled by the allegation that there is an improper relationship between nathan wade and fannie wills than i am about something untoward in the file. there are a lot of exhibits that include invoices and total bills. fani willis might be right to say, all three of these special counsels bill the same hourly rate. only one took up more than 30% of the spending in each of two years that fulton county d.a.'s office spent on outside vendors, and that's nathan wade. only one seems to have lacked the requisite experience to be of particular aid to the district attorney. wade, as "the washington post" describes, was a municipal judge, meaning he primarily adjudicated things like traffic ticket disputes. he also has been in private practice for a long time, handling family law and contract
to even his own son being held to account in the criminal justice system. >> i think that's a fair contrast supported by a lot of the evidence people know. then you have the politics around it. you just described the justice department process, which is supposed to be independent. the special counsels do that. at the psalm time, hunter biden is an individual who a as mentioned is being repeatedly attacked in every which way by the congressional process and trying to get him to testify is part of that legislative political branch process. ed reading from some of the reporting on this, where you're in a bind either way and don't want to be overkoord nating with the president, in which they can't discuss issues. this is reporting from the "new york times" on that whole thing. it says basically biden, the younger son andis legal team, which includes this very
it's time to dissent the escalate the rhetoric. the courts of the right place for this. it's appropriate today, the appeal today. the attacks on me, my family, and my staff are not. >> the supreme court is expected to weigh in on main specific in as well as colorado's to disqualify trump from their ballots and exactly one week from now oral arguments will remain in a federal appeals court over trump's claim of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. if you recall, the supreme court declined to hear the same arguments first, despite special counsels plea to speed the process along. trump's arguments against smith and the multiple prosecutions have also become a key part of his reelection message and his attack on president joe biden. >> they are weaponizing law enforcement for high-level election interference because we are beating them so badly in
appeared to register any reaction was when he nodded in agreement as the judge said the defendant trump has broad rights to receive helpful evidence in his defense from the doj. to what they call exculpatory material. otherwise, mr. smith revealed almost nothing. that level of restraint is not a legal requirement. we have seen prosecutors and special counsels speak more or emote more still within the rules. but this is how jack smith has long approached his work. he doesn't emote much. he doesn't take questions in public.s and if there is any speaking to do, well, he gathers the evidence and tends to file a speaking indictment. today we witnessed one of the first momentous hearings since that speaking indictment where the federal government that trumpre once ran presented him a defendant in p a case over staging a coup to overthrow that government's democracy. even when we watched these
everything. >> eastman is in a very different position from every other defendant in that he was acting as a lawyer giving legal advice. he was not part of a conspiracy. assuming that there even was a conspiracy. we are going to move to sever his case from the others and move for a separate trial which means that we'll be tried alone. and we believe that the trial eastman alone will take about three weeks. >> don't moves like that slow all of this down when you are trying to get to trial in 59 days, not to mention by the way the jury process picking a jury, that will be long. doesn't that slow things down? >> i think just the very nature of the fact that there are 19 defendants with 19 separate counsels and 19 separate perspectives about what is best for their own clients, i think that has every potential to slow things down as well.
