our calendars. yes ought to use a pencil, not a pen. it s monday, august 14th, it s a little less than two months from right now, and that is the day that judge aileen cannon has set for the trial of donald j. trump in the case having to do with classified documents, the legally and dangerously illegally and dangerously kept by him at a mar-a-lago. relatively speaking, that s soon, perhaps surprising given judge cannon s history of rulings considering to be favor to believe the disgraced ex-president who apointed her. but things get murky. the date august 14th is subject to delay, maybe delay after delay. in addition to what one would normally expect, illegal tactics, on one side to drag things out, there is another complicating factor, and that is complexities having to do with the classified material itself and something called the classified information procedures act. as we said, we re using pencils at this point, not pens. our experts will explain all of it in greater
thinking delay until after the election, and i continue to run on this and fund raise on it and the wep any saipgs of the department of justice is in my favor and something i m going to use at every rally, or if i go to trial, i ve got to somehow get a hung jury out of this. so he s trying to try this right now in the court of public opinion but not doing it using real facts or real law. he s doing it based on whatever he is he wants to say. a hung jury for him before an election, he would fund raise on that, right? he would call it a win even if the vote was 11-1. you know, he would use that in his favor. he would at least try to. glenn thrush, the mistake all of us have made for seven years is thinking as he was barking out excuses to bret baier he had a strategy at all when he was talking about his underwear being mixed with the iran attack plan. sometimes he s just blurting out whatever comes to mind. bret baier had real command that
convicted of it. in hindsight that fear sms really unjustified just because it was a rare charge that has been brought before. you have merrick garland worried about how the office would be perceived. that reminded me of james comey. you know, flow matter what his intention of in order to try to avoid the appearance of politicization, it ended up being politicized, and that s what happened. that didn t work in either case. it was not merrick garland s job to make sure this case got to a trial before election, that s not what it s for, but it is the job to investigate and move forward on something this serious with an expedience and the professionalism and without fear of favor just like he vowed to do, and this support suggests that didn t happen. no one s going anywhere today. ahead for all of us the twice impeached and now twice indicted liable for sexual abuse and defamation disgraced ex-president is confronted the dramatic fashion with a very
at this point, not pens. our experts will explain all of it in greater detail. one has started to on this broadcast. but when we think of it, considerable delays would mean something beyond the legal implications, right, as we hurtle toward the 2024 presidential election season. even in the unlikely instance there were no delay, the two-week trial in august would mean that trump would appear in a republican primary debate while he is standing trial. fast forward a little bit, the new york attorney general s civil fraud lawsuit is set to go on trial in october. the iowa caucuses will reportedly land somewhere in january, and that s the same month as the e. jean carroll to civil defamation suit and the federal class action lawsuit alleging a pyramid scheme. the stormy daniels hush money case goes in front of a jury in march in the middle of campaign season, since they hit full swing in this country. from there, every minute the
liles sit stuff around sex trafficking and prostitution rings. hunter biden today stands with a lot of exoneration. the charges that were brought, understand how tepid even those are. the failure to pay taxes. how are you going to charge somebody who failed to pay taxes when he was of admittedly addicted to illicit drugs? of course he didn t. nicolle, he turned around and paid them back. once he achieved personal recovery, he repaid those taxes. on the gun charges, are you going to charge somebody who while addicted to drugs lied about being addicted? the u.s. attorney had to close out this case, but for republicans who want to draw contrast with donald trump s case or make this about the weaponization, the facts aren t there. republicans need to take the law to the hunter biden probe. they were handed a verdict by a trump-appointed u.s. attorney. it s time for them to move on. yeah. i think there s something cynical, too, about how i
