tomorrow. not everyone is quite convinced of that. he s said that people should protest and that we should take an effort to take our nation back. what do you think of that? any protest should be peaceful. i felt that way, you know, on january 6. i feel that way today. you know, it s interesting. i worked in the public integrity section of department of justice, this very matter was declined by the department of justice and it s rare for a state d.a. and in this case a manhattan d.a. to take that case up when the feds decline prosecution. it does raise the political elements like george soros and maybe the political ambition of the manhattan d.a. that ran on this position of indicting the former president. we ll see how where the facts and the evidence lead.
that is. my client is getting ahead of it and he s smart to do so. when you hear a lot of noise like this, we have to pull the curtains back and say, this is a problem for democrats. they re losing in the polls. he s ahead. and we ve got major crises happening. in new york, we have people dying. that is what a state d.a. is doing after a failed federal d.a. couldn t do it. i m glad he s doing and it getting ahead of it. if they choose to do so, for a misdemeanor, which frankly he didn t even do, it is going to cause mayhem, paula. i mean, it s just a very scary time in our country. he says in his truth social post, quote, former president trump of the united states of america will be arrested on tuesday of next week, protest, take our nation back. is your client speculating about an arrest to incite political violence? i don t think he s speculating at all. i think that s the reason you re covering it at the top of the hour, right? we re all hearing it. and we re all hearing leaks
some legitimacy is going to be critical, more critical than any criminal case i think any of us have ever seen. and from a state d.a. to go, you know, shoot for the moon as it were with the former president, what do you see as the time frame here? you make the very important point there s another grand jury involved here. it s not like faunae willis is off to the races. what should we be expecting in terms of time line? so one thing the real grand jury has to investigate everything and hear from the same witnesses, all of that can be read in so you don t have a lot of time for that. i m hearing about new witnesses being called into that grand jury. so my suspicion is that what she s doing at least is going to
attorney in atlanta, the feds haven t really shown up in this case. there s no indication that the u.s. attorney in atlanta is an active participant. that can help with an investigation if you re a state d.a. she continues to look like she s doing it on her own here. charlie, lindsey graham gave one of the weirdest speeches on january 6th. he seemed a little choked up. it was just bizarre. it s been a fun ride, donald, but it s of. it lasted about, i don t know, 15 minutes. he was right back in the cooing and the mischief. is he a credible witness? it s been a wild ride for lindsey graham. it is not over. look, there s something about testifying before a grand jury under oath that focuses the mind marvelously. i assume he s not going to want
bit. the case has always come down to the tape of the former president saying can you just get me the votes i need. it s compelling and now she s simply trying to tie down whether she can establish trump s state of mind when he made that phone call to decide whether there s enough to indict. has she lost any legal battles to obtain testimony pertinent to her investigation, joyce? you know, she hasn t. some of these have moved more slowly than others. it can be tough for a state d.a. to obtain testimony from out of state witnesses. because some of the southern states have this interstate compact which says that she can enforce a georgia subpoena in south carolina, she s had more access than she might otherwise have had. it s an interesting feature of this investigation that even after joe biden won the presidency and appointed a u.s.
