And used it to create a conspiracy that allowed them to break all statutes of limitations and go back 20 years to go after every dollar i made not just in ukraine but in my life and thats what hunter biden is worried about because if you look at the laptop, if they can pierce the statute of limitations that have expired, you know, they will bring back all of the charges that the laptop basically has the facts to convict him. so its a serious problem. thats why abby lowell smartly said, well, if ...

State of georgia. and thats just one of the charges brought against the fake electors for nothing other than pretending to be real elects when they were fake ones. and the kind of charge this is isnt not some unique idiosyncrasy. and its going to raise the question in pennsylvania, in arizona, in new mexico, in nevada, where all these other states where things havent yet been charged, wont it? >> it should. and we have seen this trend so far, but it does turn on the very specific language of the...

Obviously. ten defendants. thats also similar to a lot of criminal ricoh statutes. the danger here is that it can dilute the legitimacy of the case. unless you can show strong linkages on a case of this kind. you dont want it to look like youre charging everyone and letting god sort them out. so we have to see what evidence they actually turned out. one of the most concerning aspects about this particular investigation. theres a number of them. it began after the disclosure of the call of donald...

Pennsylvania, in arizona, in new mexico, in nevada, and all the other states where these things happen mean charged, wont it? >> yeah. >> we have seen this trend so far but it does turn in the very specific language of the individual statutes in the states. one of the things we are hearing from our experts in georgia law from january 3rd on, which was a day after the phone call when we got the phone call, the trump phone call to georgia is that georgia does have very specific laws that go straig...

If youve got 10 defendants that is also similar to a lot of criminal rico statutes. but the really the danger here is the idea can dilute the legitimacy of the case unless you can show strong linkages on a case of this kind. you dont want it to look like youre charging everyone and letting god sort them out. and so we have to see what evidence that they actually turned up one of the most concerning aspects about this particular investigation, and theres a number of them. is that it began after t...

More sweeping than jack smiths january 6th indictment which you sensed he tried to make that as tight and narrowed and focused as possible. that is not the case in georgia. you get a sense that fani willis understands with so many co-defendants, this is going to be a long trial and she wanted to make sure that fulton county gets their arms around all of it. certainly a sweeping indictment. i will say, too, again, following up on what andy mccarthy wrote yesterday in "the new york post," this geo...

United states, and theyve got him dead to right there. he had no right to steal the documents. he stole the documents. theyve got the testimony. so, thats the tightest case, and then it was very interesting when talking about the georgia case, he said fani willis actually has some advantages over jack smith because jack smith, hes got trumps abhorrent conduct but he doesnt have statutes that fit quite as tightly. in georgia, fani willis charged the former president under statutes specifically dr...

The indictment also alleges trump allies recruited individuals to convene and cast fake electoral college votes to disrupt and delay the biden win. the d.a. is using the states anti-racketeering law, which is modeled on rico statutes, to charge all 19 defendants, including trump attorney rudy giuliani, who helped pioneer the use of rico laws to prosecute the mafia in new york. giuliani is also charged with repeating false statements about the election to georgia lawmakers. tonight, hes calling t...

>> that hearing is supposed to center on trumps big lie about the election and the people who helped foster it and peddle it. >> how do you think trumps big lie continues to live on? >> laura: but no matter what your view on the election cowk the ultimate big lie is that you can seek to criminalize strong political opposition and not create a really painful boomerang effect. that willis chose to charge trump and 18 others under ricco statutes originally used to take the mob down is another tell....
