Didnt matter back in 2016. i would actually argue that they did because if you look among the republicans who believe those allegations, believe they were mostly true, yes, trump won them, but won them by a significantly smaller margin than the ones who believed theyre mostly false. there was a 72-point gap difference between them. so, yeah, there were republicans who were willing to basically dismiss the allegations. but a lot of who believed them actually voted for hillary clinton. >> thats an...

Disqualify the attorney for several of the alternate electors, and todays news sort of obscures what is an important issue in the case, which is shes facing a very important deadline next week to respond to the petition that trumps lawyers filed to quash the reporter investigating -- or the grand jury that gave the findings, and to remove her and the judge from the case. so, i think theres a lot to play out. i dont see this happening before september. and as you and i have discussed, i dont see ...

Background noise. i dont think that is going to sway a lot of jurors, and attacking her i think is probably -- you know, it may be the only strategy they have. but im not sure its going to be an effective strategy. i will say on appeal, this is a difficult case. >> all right. and again, i know the timing on all this and how it goes out, its not like were going to know tomorrow. but i just think its significant, ty, that youre saying this could be something that ends up mattering, and it wasnt so...

We do see some signs of life in the manhattan district attorneys office. ive always been saying thats the sleeper case to keep your eye on, particularly because the state cases can stick, no matter who is president after joe biden, if it were to be a republican, there is no ability to go for a state case. keeping your eye on georgia and manhattan is really key. as you noted, this hush money going for part of the guilty plea, michael cohen at the federal level. its clearly something that their cr...

Committee and the house seeking the tax returns from president trump, now ex-president trump, in multiple ways and ended up in court over the past several years. theres one particular case, this case from the house ways and means committee where it was a bit of a sleeper case, it was one we are werent really waiting that close attention to, it was especially on hold for the last two years bus the trump administration said we would like the tax returns from the irs, from the treasury department d...

For a deposition in new york, which i think its hard to say that a deposition of inpresident would definitely be granted, but this is new york. theres a lot of hostility against president trump and they have ordered depositions in the past for him. thats the big danger for the president in the zervos case as opposed to stormy daniels which may be getting better for him. >> its fascinating, too, to think of what could we learn, and would this set a precedent, too, in the fact he has agreed to pro...

Sleeper case could actually torpedo robert muellers report and stop him from being able to report information to the american people. >> so, the connection here has to do with the whole concept of grand jury secrecy. one of the things people have been thinking about or discussing is how mueller would get a report out to the public given that a lot of his investigative work has been done by a grand jury here in washington. the mechanism is not clear. one way to do it might be to ask the chief fed...

Is it at all possible we may never hear or know publicly about muellers findings? there is this fascinating headline by "politico" on this sleeper case. a murder related case that says, judges do not have the freedom to release grand jury information. it is usually kept secret. harvard law professor said it is a sleeper case. if the d.c. circuit were to accept the arguments, itd have potentially enormous implications for the future of the information from the mueller investigation. it could clos...
