terms of what actually need to be provided to the defense to put on a valid one. it s more limiting than what would typically happen because of the classified documents involved in this case. and judge cannon unfortunately doesn t have that experience whereas a judge in d.c. likely would have. and she got hit pretty hard for one of the rulings that she made early on. lastly before they before the control room hits the eject button. how close you are one of the few people who s ever been the top of justice during a special counsel probe, realistically based on your experience, how close to an election do you think the justice department would put on a trial? typically they don t take action in an investigation about 60 days out. that s sort of a rule, small r. i mean, how big of a zone do you think there is where they d be unlikely to put on a trial? will. i think it very, very difficult to say. the thrust of that rule is not doing any overt investigative
fiction of what happened there. and that s important. but i think your words of caution, don t do this for catharsis, don t do this because this is an ejector button in terms of this problem on the american right. it s really important. bottom line here, let s say donald trump is convicted of something that, like stewart rhodes, put them in jail for 25 years, whatever it is. whatever the worst thing is that you can imagine that the criminal justice system could do to him, none of that would disqualify him from running for president. you could run for president from prison, arguably you can win the presidential election from prison. and then you can try to pardon yourself. with the supreme court, who s to say he wouldn t get away with? it there is no eject button for solving this. it is about accountability. we hope it is political accountability and people souring on this idea, but the truth is a prerequisite, and taking away the tools that he can use for other peoples,
the supreme court, who s to say he wouldn t get away with? it there is no eject button for solving this. it is about accountability. we hope it is political accountability and people souring on this idea, but the truth is a prerequisite, and taking away the tools that he can use for other peoples, other people commit crimes on his behalf, that helps, but it all has to be done at once. the eugene debs tested the first part of that constitutionally running for president. he didn t test the second because he didn t do it on the socialist party line. so that remains a question where, you just mentioned, i understand agree, a great thing about ultra as well, the different parts of what we call civil society. there s no silver bullet. no panacea for what makes democracy work. it s sort of endless toil and effort by citizens to keep a democracy a democracy. the law is one component, but not the only one. i mention eugene carroll before, but to mean this is a perfect example. it s not like t
one and he had that maga low effect. but he s in the cockpit. now trump is going to hit the eject button. he has already done. at his poll numbers, i haven t seen that type of melt down in the republican primary polling since we go back to the time of scott walker, almost eight years ago. rhonda santos is fatally inflicted his candidacy that it s not gonna come back. what s amazing is even in florida they are noticing. florida republican donors are tapping the brakes right now saying, not comfortable with what this guy is doing. the disney thing already a bridge too far. and the fact that disney stood up and filed a countersuit, i m telling you, i feel it for the first time in almost seven years in florida, the tide has turned. ron desantis is on the wrong and. he is scrambling, which is why he s trying to rush an announcement that he didn t really want to do until the end of this month early next month,
