noticeably been trying to find a defense in the latter case, in the times they ve offered contradictory excuses to explain why it was the trump illegally retained government records, and seemingly obstructed federal authorities from retrieving this record for many months. if convicted in that case alone, it could produce a years-long prison sentence, and that is just one example of the legal peril the former president faces right now. and the classified documents investigation is in its early days. according to an abc news report this week, the special counsel s team recently informed a trump organization employee but they are a target in their investigation, which means that more indictments could be camille and the documents case. while trump cannot simply wish that away, there is one thing he can do to possibly evade accountability and even shut down the cases against him. all he has to do is become president again. and a new legal filing from trump s team this week signal
while we have agrees that this seems to be a protection racket that donald trump is building around himself how does the court have to think about that? how does the judge or the supreme in georgia, which is overwhelmingly republican, how did they think about that idea that either we pursue justice or we don t. he is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty by a jury. but do we just stop the trial because it could help hurt his reputation? it does hurt his reputation to be subject to a criminal trial. but imagine ali, if that was a standard by which to avoid a criminal trial that it might hurt my reputation, i think it would be very difficult to try just about any defendant in the criminal system. that is not the standard. the standard is whether or not he can get a fair trial, and whether you can find a jury that would be able to put aside whatever they think about donald trump. certainly you will not find one who is never heard of him, but it can put aside whatever their
audience doesn t have conspiracy theorists in, right? what does this context war mean? what does this volume theory mean? i can sit here book you guys in the show. we can debunked these conspiracy theories that my viewers didn t have in the first place. the people who are out there bathing in the cesspool of conspiracy or not watching me. that is exactly the problem. we are not reaching the target audience of those conspiracy theories. i think, frankly, that is why ray upside to bring his lawsuit. also decided to get back at fox. that is why i decided to sue fox, as well, for the conspiracy theories they spread about me. i think there needs to be consequences for people running peoples lives, lying for profit. unfortunately, we cannot see members of congress for the people they say on the floor in the course of duty. but what we can do is go to the ballot box. hopefully your viewers, ali, all over the country can go out there in can vote not just in
