The state of our politics and the legal institutions to be shielded from the politics. what will you be watching for? >> im certainly going to be watching for how the court watches all the delay motions were going to see. let me be clear. any defendant has a right to bring legitimate motions in the case. that includes donald trump. but what weve seen from donald trump in the past is bringing cases not many lawyers thought he would have a chance of winning like the cases he brought over and over ...

Partisanship. we saw that in new york, when he went after the new york state attorney general, and her investigation and claimed it was a partisan witch hunt. used to digicel process to do, that so i think were gonna see very aggressive motion practice. were gonna see lots of politicking in those. motions and they have very little to do with the law. and many of us looking and reading that indictment are sitting there thinking, im glad i dont have to come up with it. because its very hard to com...

Waters with people who arent following this closely. >> and to your point, we saw this with mar-a-lago raid and with new york attorney charges. most of the republicans running against donald trump came out and talked about what an outrage it was. >> yeah. so, you had two things coming together here, right? the existence of this narrative of persecution helps him politically. and the longer he can delay the outcome of this trial, the better off he is from a legal, tactical standpoint. he doesnt w...

State the language of the statute thats violated, so this could have been done in a much briefer form, but i think when you have something, whether its likely to be -- the importance of public confidence, they wanted to lay out the strength of the case. and so, we see things like text message exchanges, and statements that trumps lawyers wrote down about -- donald trump himself made, conversations that -- other employees. while not a gave to the npr when he lied to them. and so, all of those thi...

Of putting it in a report rather than an indictment should have been considered more seriously and perhaps adopted. the likelihood that this is actually going to come to trial in federal court, i think, before the election seems to me to be very much in doubt, because hes getting new lawyers. theyre going to have to get security clearance. theyre going have motion practice and all of that is going to take an enormous amount of time during which the indictment will be hanging over him and the ele...

Other, in some respects,, each of the prosecutors is going to lose control over timing based on what they charged and what else happens in their case while motion practice happens, for example, just how fast discovery like runs. >> i love all lawyers, i asked for predictions, and were all disciplined enough did not give any. i also feel after the number of people that got the guess on venue wrong for the jack smith indictment, i am going to get even less predictions. lisa reuben, as always, than...

Being extradited here to stand trial and face american justice and then going to be returned to the other nations jurisdiction to complete his sentence there. what it comes down to, there are political considerations between the two nations, governed by treaty, mutual legal assistance treaty worked out between the doj, authorities and peru authorities. what joran van der sloot would like is immaterial. he is delay and throw motion practice at litigation before trial, delay beginning of the trial...

This is not even significant enough for me to show up. that is how much of a liar this womans. on the other hand, its a very smart strategy for his lawyers to keep him away. because we have read excerpts of his deposition in this case. they were released as part of motion practice in the case in january. and that deposition was, mehdi, just a disaster for donald trump. that is the deposition where, confronted with the picture of himself and his then wife ivana trump, leading e. jean carroll and ...

Defendant of as being the predicate offense, and there will be motion practice on this, and i would be shocked if the judge does not require the prosecutors to actually spell out in chapter and verse, which crimes are the product gets here? you talked about the fact that some of this leads to tax fraud um you talked also about being surprised and what the judge has also what you expect him to say, right going forward. one of the things he has already said is, he has warned both councils and in b...

Produced by the district attorney just to his defense in this case. some of those documents are so sensitive that he should only be able to review them in his lawyers office. so one is about his use of the discovery. the second thing is they dont have to reveal their entire theory of the case at this stage in the pleadings that will come over a series of months and through motion practice if youre them, why do it now if you dont have to. >> if some of the items in discovery could potentially be ...
