Psychiatrys colic projection. Many people do it in small ways, but the farther gone you are the more likely you are to always be accusing other people of bad things that you do or throwing negative labels at people that actually apply to you. Perfectly. And so in psychiatric terms, talking about himself through projection today donald trump called himself, and these are all Donald Trumps exact words, a man with the mind ideas and iq of a first grader, a mental catastrophe, a stark raving lunatic who cant string two sentences together, and is not only dumb and incompetent, i believe he has gone mad. That is what donald trump thinks, deep down, in the darkness of whats left of his mind, about himself. And psychiatrists have told us thats why he hurls that Self Loathing language and other people. Projection is one of his defense mechanisms. Dozens of distinguished psychiatrist or Mental Health professionals who coauthored the book the dangerous case of donald trump, 37 psychiatry and Mental Health experts assess a president , have diagnosed Donald Trumps projection reflex, including in discussions on this program, one of those psychiatry and have joined us, and on trumps projection is so flawless, it is impossible to come up with a better description of donald trump than the one donald trump offers us through projection. A man with the mind, ideas, and iq of a first grader, a mental catastrophe, as stark raving lunatic who can stream two sentences together, and is not only dumb and incompetent, i believe he has gone mad. No one self diagnosis more accurately than donald trump. No one. What it takes to be a financial supporter of a stark raving lunatic like donald trump is something that social psychologists will be working on, no doubt, for the next several decades, at least. I dont need anybodys money. Its nice. I dont need anybodys money. Im using my own money. Im not using the lobbyists, im not using donors, i dont care. Im really rich. Ill tell you that. That was dont trump on the first day of his political career. And early in the campaign republican primary voters said one of the things that they absolutely loved about on trump was that he didnt need any money to run for office so he was incorruptible, obviously incorruptible, because hes so rich. No individual in the history of American Politics has taken more money from donors than donald trump. The truth always was, donald trump was never rich enough to pay for president ial campaign. And now donald trump does not think he is rich enough to pay for Criminal Defense Lawyers. And so the people who he promised he would never ask for money, he now begs for money every day, via email, to pay for Criminal Defense Lawyers for donald trump and his accused coconspirators and others who have not yet been accused of any crimes. Donald trump doesnt pay for anyones lawyers, including his own. The most gullible political contributors in the History Of The World pay for the trump criminal defense team. But donald trump decides what that criminal defense team does and does not do. And today in a florida court, don trumps criminal defense team tried to get away with the most absurd delay ever proposed to the Magistrate Judge who heard the proposal. Today donald trump and his codefendants, walt nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, were supposed to be arraigned on the attempts to delete Security Camera footage, the indictment quotes defendant Carlos De Oliveira telling trump employee number four twice, the boss wanted the server deleted. Trump employee for is obviously a corroborating witness with the prosecution who will testify under oath that de oliveira said that and that de oliveira asked him to commit that crime of obstruction of justice because the Security Camera footage was already under the subpoena by the Justice Department when donald trump wanted the footage deleted. That was a crime. Carlos de olivieras in as deep trouble as you can possibly be in this indictment. He went into Federal Court today in florida and bought a Washington Post lawyer paid for by Donald Trumps gullible contributors to tell the Magistrate Judge that he couldnt enter a plea today because he has not been able to find a Florida Attorney to represent Carlos De Oliveira, as florida rules require. There are 77,223 lawyers in florida. Southern florida, where the Federal Court is, in this case, has the highest concentration of those lawyers. None of them are available, according to the trump criminal defense team. And they told the judge that they couldnt possibly find one until august 25th at the earliest. They suggested delaying the arraignment of Carlos De Oliveira until august 25th. The Magistrate Judge, no doubt feeling insulted by the blatant and lazy attempt to create unnecessary delay, told the defendant to be back in court on tuesday, with a florida lawyer, and be ready to enter a plea. The other two defendants, donald trump and walt t nauta, entered the plea of not guilty today to the carriages and superseding indictment. Donald trump was not required to attend today session today. In washington d. C. Special Prosecutor Jack Smith filed a proposed Trial Schedule for the case of states of America Versus donald trump in which donald trump is charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, i conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. Jack smith suggested a Trial Schedule that would accommodate pretrial motions in september, october, november, then begin Jury Selection on december 11th, with the first day of trial set for january 2nd. In jack smiths filing with court today, he used Donald Trumps newest Criminal Defense Lawyer, john lauros television comments against him. Quote, and the defendants initial appearance, and in several television interviews, Defense Counsel has suggested that the Speedy Trial Act is intended only to protect the defendants rights, not so. Under both the sixth amendments speedy trial clause and a Speedy Trial Act, the right to a timely trial is vested in the public, not just in the defendant. Defense counsel claimed both an immediate interview and an initial hearing that the government has been investigating this matter for three and a half years, while the defense is starting with a blank slate. Not only is this claim impossible, as january six 2021 was two and a half years ago. But it is disingenuous. The defendant and his counsel have long been aware of details of the governments investigation leading to this indictment, having had First Contact with Government Counsel in june of 2022. Jack smith said he is prepared to produce most of the Discovery Evidence in the case to the defense as soon as the court issues a protective order, with rules about how that evidence must be treated by the Defense Lawyers and most especially, importantly, by defendant trump. Leading off our discussion tonight is harry litman, former u. S. Attorney, former Deputy AssistantAttorney General, hes a Senior Legal Affairs columnist for the los angeles times. Also bradley moss, National Security attorney. And harry litman, let me go to where we will be tomorrow with this question of how the case is going to proceed in washington, d. C. An ambitious Trial Schedule submitted today by jack smith, with a factual Trial Sessions scheduled to begin the First Business day of the new year, but they need the protective order. They need the rules of the road to be put in place before this case can get really started. What are you expecting to happen on that . I expect them to get it and the fact that they need it is underscored by todays filing. Smith said that he will, in this case, as he did in maralago, give trump much much more than trump is entitled to at this stage of the proceedings, in order to serve this speedy trial, and that is going to include a grand jury transcripts. So today, when we look at what trump wrote, you can also see the all almost see the veins bursting out of his neck, when he gets the grand jury transcript in says a letter inverse what mike pence had to say, mark meadows, he can be expected to go totally berserk. And its very important than that he not be able to try to vilify them in the public eye. And so it is part and parcel. You need the protective order in order to give him a lot of information early, in order to serve the speedy trial. One more quick thing on the speedy trial, besides saying that is a public right, smith did a very interesting thing. He said especially here, where trump has, and then he just recited the charges. So i was reading between the lines. Its very clear what he is saying. I think chutkan will see it too. Where here the former president is trying to run out the clock and to delay things. That we need the speedy trial all the more. Bradley moss, ive pointed out many things the Donald Trumps newest Criminal Defense Lawyer john laura should not have been saying on television. I didnt even get to the ones that jack smith used in his pleading today. Yeah, it beggars the imagination, why is this lawyer, and an entire legal, team, constantly on television . I understand for some of them who are legal spokespeople, theyre going to do a lot of cable tv hits. But if youre the lawyer whos going to be going before the judge for all of these motions, for the trial itself, you know the governments tracking what you are saying, and you are getting asked to comment on the specifics, the substance of your trial strategy, and you revealing details. I something i dont understand what theyre doing other than donald trump likes to see his lawyers counterpunching on cable news. But its gonna come back to bite them, just like Donald Trumps own comments publicly, and campaign events, on tv, have already come back to bite him, not only as these criminal prosecutions, but even in the civil trials with e. Jean carroll. This is not a wise legal strategy. It is possibly a good political one, which is ultimately their entire true defense. Bradley moss, jack smith also revealed today that theres a small amount of Classified Information in this case and they need a Classified Information procedures hearing to figure out exactly how this small amount should be handled in this case in washington d. C. , its nothing like the scale of what will be dealt with in florida but jack smith insists this will take very little time in should not slow anything down. Im intrigued to see what other Classified Information might be coming into play here. There was an element of military considerations, in terms of potential Foreign Policy moves that were being discussed in the context of these various schemes, the criminal conspiracy, but beyond that im interested to see what could possibly have come up that would be classified. But i dont foresee it having any real major or significant role in the case itself. Sounds like its a small amount of discovery. The crux of this is the grand jury testimony. The crux is them chesebro and eastman. That is what is going to be the foundation for the governments case. That stuff is not classified. Harry litman, could be classified staff be possibly pages of mark meadows notes where nationals notes, where contains something about the scheme donald trump, the criminals don trumps engaged in, and on the same page, there is Something Else about iran that has nothing to do is classified that has nothing to do with the case. My answer is yes, i think it illustrates what brad is saying. It was quite a teaser, that footnote, and definitely caught everybodys attention when smith put it there. Were thinking about in terms of delay, they will try to delay for all its worth. But intriguing, and we really just dont know. Its probably happenstance, something in that initial harvest from the Search Warrant there wind up using here. Its really a kind of Guessing Game right now, what it is. What you say seems possible. What brad says, i think, is an interesting possibility in those last few weeks. We really just dont know right now. So harry, in michigan today you had the arraignment of fake electors in michigan. Jack smiths Indictment Talks about the fake electors of michigan, and it talks about the fake electors in every state where there were fake electors. How does this prosecution in michigan interfere with, if it does, jack smiths prosecution . The tangible worry would be it goes to trial and certain people, witnesses, not even the defendants, make certain statements that differ a little bit from what they would say in trial before jack smith and the challenge lawyers with nothing to do would have a field day with these teeny discrepancies. I dont see it in michigan, though, i mean its very straightforward. Its just these actual electors themselves. Were gonna also see it in georgia and well see with a grand jury testimony actually revealed there, when there is a similar process going on. In some sense, it is reinforcing this date and federal actions, but the tangible worry, the prosecutors get a little nervous about, is statements that are slightly different by the same person and the opening for crossexamination.
