That was last friday. now, special counsel jack smiths team took this as a threat potentially to witnesses and asked for that protective order that would prevent him from doing so in the future. >> it is a virtual certainty that judge chutkan will impose a protective order in this case. im not as confident that she is going to endorse the fairly robust protective order that the special counsel was recommending. my guess is that she may be inclined to split the difference and place limitations on...

Goad the judge in this case, say just watch me, youre going to try to put limitations on me. what do you think is going on? >> you know, one of my colleagues, ana, yesterday said to me, this is not a way to avoid the kind of blanket protective order that the justice department wants. i said thats exactly what trump wants. trump actually wants to escalate this fight. he wants judge chutkin to impose a very stringent protective order because most americans dont understand what a protective order i...

Expert, paul. you know whats going on. you know hes going out there and basically saying im going to say what i want to say. this is my right to say what i want to say. how do you see the hearing hearing shaping up? >> so it should be relatively standard because protective orders are common in most criminal cases. a criminal defendant has the right to see the prosecutions evidence before trial, but the public doesnt have a right to that evidence. so trumps lawyers actually agree that there shoul...

As a defense. it didnt work, but to your point that words matter. people took those words and his words very seriously and went forth and committed crimes. im going to take a closer look at another one of trumps legal defenses. what do you think of this idea of aspirational arguments? >> i think that, we live in a country were speech is protected. but there is limitations on speech. we all know. that what are they? you cant defame someone as it relates to saying things that are false that impair...

Called false statements. he didnt specify what they were. and in terms of physically following through, thats not something hes ever done. so now hes saying if you go after me, im coming after you. so, is this just a case of prosecutors really arent going to be able to do anything about it? >> i think the prosecutors with the assistance of the judge will be able to tame this somewhat. im not sure that trumps lawyers will be able to get him to adhere to whatever limitations they impose. and, as a...

For things he did then. >> president trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office. as an ordinary citizen. unless the statute of limitations is run, still liable for everything he did while he was in office. didnt get away with anything yet. yet. we have a criminal justice system in this country. we have civil litigation. and former presidents are not immune from being accountable by either one. >> so danny, isnt that the case? that he can now be charged, charged in a crimi...
