Because bragg just gave a case positive to prove trumps narrative. criminal system weaponized against him, well, it is in this case. now, the other cases present, i think, a more significant threat. i dont take the georgia case as a high threat for trump unless theres new evidence. but mar-a-lago is a threat. i mean, those are conventional charges. in fact, obstruction, which is the focus ever the fbi, is a fave rit for the department of justice. >> gillian: jonathan, to your point about alvin b...

And said, "boy, they shouldnt have gone first with the manhattan case. they shouldnt have gone first with the stormy case. feels like old news. georgia is more important. the documents, january 6th, these are more important." obviously, these four cases are being conducted, these investigations, by different people with different sets of facts, without concern to the others. whats your sense of the way these are rolling out and how they may impact each other as they do come down? >> well, i thin...

Mr. corcoran is going to say, "it wasnt me. i wrote this, but i was told what to put in there by my client," meaning donald trump. youre absolutely right. this is a way of getting that direct evidence. how did that certification come about? yes, it is very unusual for the prosecutors to seek this kind of order from the court. it is not something that has never happened. it happened during the special counsel mueller investigation with the exact same judge, but it is unusual. in order to make thi...

From what we know about the pence case and the biden case. there, theres absolutely no circumstance where were thinking there is obstruction and false statements made. this could be a critical difference as to why the department treats donald trump differently than the other two cases. >> right. and its key for everybody listening, and what andrew just said is, court is not going to do this unless it is, quote, likely that donald trump or his attorney or both committed a crime. ken, i want to un...

Notes. if youre prosecuting this case, what questions are you asking him? well, for starters, lets see all these documents. but then he now has to testify for us about the very conversations he had with trump at the time when they were preparing and sending a declaration that was false. i have two in response to a subpoena, they said. were done at a full search, and we havent found anything. thats a really serious transgression. clean violation as far as prosecutors are concerned. and he is by t...

Four people associated with the Oath Keepers, including a Marion County woman, were convicted on Monday of conspiracy and obstruction charges stemming from the attack on the U.S. Capitol

These cases, we call it what it was. we read that the special prosecutors are looking at charges for obstruction, fraud, this was an insurrection. lets call it what it was. the insurrection statute punishes not just those who participate in the insurrection but those who incite it and give aid and comfort thereto. and investigating for president trump and others around him, i think we have to call it what it is, i think it is in the national interest. >> tucker: it was, in no sense, an insurrect...

Counsel investigation. it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel examining both the former president handling of classified documents at mara lago and possible obstruction to walk down. to the capital and his involvement in the events leading up to the storming of the capital. on january 6th. jack smiths case is the most important because its the constitutionally most significant to the country, and thats not the only investigation related to the 2020 election and its aftermath ....

The law, and that basically comes down to whatever the outcome is, as it relates to donald trump. its very clear theyre doing the bidding of donald trump and trying to undermine this investigation. even to the point of potentially obstructing it. obstructing now hang on here because you actually use that word in a statement you put out before you said from day one, and this has to do with house judiciary chair jim jordans and others trying to get alvin bragg before the committee. as you said, fr...

I would. it would surprise me if he did, but its a possibility and they want to get into it. um right, likely scenario as you suggest it is. that he was directed to do this by the president. and um and did so, um , unfortunately, um, what? what is this all say then to you about where jack smith is, in terms of, you know this whole debate now i dont have you heard van jones. but you know the frustration that many democrats even feel that it may be a new york indictment about a misdemeanor hush mo...
