Welcome to prime time weekend point lets get right to the top stories this week. In a perfect world, we would not start where we are starting today. We would like to begin with the results of what amounts to a complete sideshow, a legal circus, a spectacle and a deliberate diversion. First and foremost, we should be clear that todays ruling from the Fulton County Superior Court was a victory for the rule of law for fani willis herself. In the matter of the d. A. S relationship with special prosecutor, nathan wade, the ultimatum and noun amounted to this, leave way behind her hot the prosecution altogether. It turned out to be an easy choice for d. A. Willis, a determined public figure. Remember what she said when she announced the indictment. The states role in this process is essential to the functioning of our democracy. Georgia, like every state has laws that allow those who believe the results of an election are wrong, whether because of intentional wrongdoing or unintentional erro
Tonight, we begin with that Msnbc Exclusive Interview with my colleague and host, jonathan and President Biden, the president and the former president arrived in georgia to hold dueling rallies just 60 miles apart, presenting two radically different visions of america, both after scoring big wins on super tuesday. Both campaigns are gearing up for a close race in the battleground state. Remember, the margin was so tight in 2020 that trump was indicted for pressuring the Secretary Of State to find him more votes. Jonathan, the president discussed a wide variety of issues including his fight for reproductive access and his controversial handling of the Israel Hamas War and those comments about the socalled Migrant Crime Wave on the border. Here is a clip from the interview. What is your redline with Prime Minister netanyahu, for instance, the invasion of rafah, is that a redline . It is, but im never going to leave israel, the defense is so critical, theres no redline to cut off the iron
Inner circle. The memo which was obtained by the New York Times and has not been verified by nbc news, was allegedly sent in early December 2020 by trump lawyer kenneth chesebro, who is one of the coconspirators identified but not charged in the Justice Departments latest indictment, of the former president. In the note, chesebro details the fake elector scheme which falsely claims former Vice President mike pence had the power to block the certification of the states votes on january 6th. All just to buy time. Chesebro admitted that the Supreme Court would likely reject the plan, in a statement to nbc news, the lawyer writes that he was simply providing legal advice to trumps campaign. But that quote whether the campaign relied on that device, upon that advice as he intended would have to remain a question to be resolved in court. Those efforts by donald trump and his lawyers to subvert democracy has, in a small part, led the american varshini to create a task force for American Democ
No, he was making fun of himself there. You have to wonder if the former president is feeling the heat. I expected him to sing myway and with the scarves wipe the sweat off his face and its hard for me to as Special Counsel jack smith turns up the temperature in federal court, amid the back and forth over the protective order in that case. Theres new reporting this morning do you think hes well . No. Im just saying, him sweating that much. Do you think hes in a million different ways, i dont think hes well . Do you think hes unwell . Marco rubio didnt sweat that much. Ron desantis doesnt sweat that much. That was a lot of sweat. Yes. New reporting on a secret memo that laid out the plot to overturn the 2020 election. Were going to go through that Major Development in just a moment. Meanwhile, were getting a better idea of the timing for the next possible indictment for the former president by 2028 . No. The case down in georgia. Can she delay this any longer . I think its coming. 2028,
