important. not good news for the us. you can see why the authorities are not pleased with this downgrade but i think the impact may be relatively limited in the long run. in terms of their concern about governance, saying it has not improved, it is actually gone the wrong direction over quite a long period of time. that is quite damning, really, isn't it? and to be honest, it is fair comment. every couple of years we seem to get these situations where there is wrangling, bipartisan wrangling, bipartisan wrangling, over the debt ceiling. really, the debt level in the us is used as a political football. to kick around and _ political football. to kick around and the - political football. to kick around and the house i political football. to kick around and the house of representatives stands off against the white house and we saw that a couple of months ago. the debt ceiling crisis was resolved a couple of months ago and that is what makes the timing of this downgrade slightly curious because it's
want to delay the trial as long as it can. the prosecutor has said they want a speedy trial. they were convince the judge to move the process along. even if the process moves expeditiously, they will be a range of motion that will have to be decided before the trial about what kind of evidence will be allowed, how the jewellery will be selected, —— anjou, so a fair amount of pre—trial wrangling and part of the story will have to do with the story will have to do with theissues the story will have to do with the issues the judges the story will have to do with the issues thejudges being asked to decide —— jury and part of it will be the effort by trump and his lawyers to delay proceedings and that of the prosecutors to move it along. the prosecutors to move it alon~., , the prosecutors to move it alonu. , , , ,_, along. just briefly, as it sean kellyjust _ along. just briefly, as it sean kellyjust said, _ along. just briefly, as it sean kellyjust said, donald - along. just briefly, as it sean | kellyjust said, donald trump is saying he is determined to become the next president regardless of the outcome of this case or any other cases evenif this case or any other cases even if he is found guilty. from a legal point of view, is
him manipulate and the legal wrangling that he has to go through in this document to actually criminalize thought, criminalize legal advice. criminalize a legal position and a strategy whether they are right or wrong that they had believing that this election was rigged. and so you don't see any reference to mens rea, their criminal intent, because they can't put it in the document. they can't find criminal intent in donald trump or any of these four lawyers, political consultant, and a civil lawyer in doj. those are the co-conspirator in this case. >> well, tim, msnbc is trying to frame this as a moment where america is at a crossroads. but for another reason than we are. watch. >> it is one of the biggest cases ever in the history of the united states. it is up there with dred scott. it is up there with brown vs. board of education, because it
a shocking statement when i first read that at the beginning of this indictment. they are giving some, you know, credibility to the notion that candidates can, you know, say what they want to say. there is free speech, and they can be wrong and they can even say things that are false. that's longstanding law that has been established in this country. so they give that and then at the same time, they try to unwind that and go through their legal and factual wrangling to try to pull back those protections and that development of case law over the years. that's when you knew that they were in trouble. and when they were going to trying to force a round peg into a square hole in this instance because they start out with that sort of acknowledgment. as opposed to when i drafted speaking indictments, i would start out with the most outrageous conduct of the defendant that was alleged in the indictment. and it would be -- it was grab you. it would shock you.

unattractive to a jury that you have the former president extremely important individual who is really gotten his workers, average working people into trouble. juries won't like that. but john is going to make the government prove its case or cases, depending on the scope of his involvement, at every step of the way. and there are going to be substantial issues. i think one of the reasons for the superseding indictment is because some of the evidence about that bedminster conversation might have been tough to get before the jury until you added new count 32, the iran document, the iran attack flplans that were discusd there. there is a tremendous amount of wrangling. he raised this in the doj meeting on january 6th, according to cnn reporting, and this is going to be a big issue here, delay. new defendant, new charges, new

that are creating jobs and supporting workers. let's bring in "new york times" senior writer david leonhardt and democratic strategist and founder of brilliant corners research, cornell. david, i know you tracked this over a longer stretch than political campaigns sort of thrust these issues into focus when it's something that the two sides are wrangling about, but this is a tortoise and a hare, right? the biden economic message was a message and then it was legislation and then you saw republicans on the road with biden in case it worked, talking to you, mitch mcconnell. and now you see the results. take me through how you see this story. >> well, first of all, let me say credit to morgan stanley for saying we were wrong. everyone's wrong sometimes, but not everyone is willing to say we were wrong. i want to note that. and i think the way you sketched it out is exactly right, which is these kinds of policies do not have an immediate effect and it does seem like president biden's economic agenda is
