Underway on this wednesday night. Good evening once, again im stephanie ruhle. Fulton county d a fani willis has wasting absolutely no time in moving ahead with the Georgia Election interference case. Today, she proposed a Trial Date Of March 4th of 2024, or donald, trump and 18 others. That is one day before super tuesday, which of course is in the heat of the president ial primary season. The eight witnesses also focusing on another big court, date when trump and his codefendants will be arraigned and enter the specific police. She wants that to happen the week of september, fifth right after labor day. Meanwhile, a judge will hear mark meadows request to moves child out of georgia tsais or sue federal court. That core data is now set for august 28th. Also this, evening we are learning more from a new legal filing about what special counsel jack smith was looking for in Donald Trumps twitter account. Earlier this, year smith got a Search Warrant to access a whole range of information from trumps account, including direct messages, draft, with and location data. The former president is now, facing i want you to think, about this a total of 91 separate Felony Charges after separate indictments. His republican backers, claim all of these charges are just the result of corruption and conspiracies against trump, but please remember, those charges, many one charges represent the work of multiple grand juries, which are made up of every day americans. There are separate judges, prosecutors, and investigators, not the socalled deep state. No surprise, donald trump is continuing his relentless attacks on officials involved in these prosecutions. Judge whos overseeing the fuller has officially warned him about making inflammatory statements, but he is not stopping. Tonight, a texas woman is under arrest, for allegedly threatening to kill if trump does not get elected in 2024. Nbc news has learned, some Trump Supporters have posted online the supposed names and addresses of a grand jurors who indicted trump on monday. People who are simply doing their civic duty. Patriots. Earlier today, one former top official of the white house in his spoken out against trump since, offered this warning. We now have a Political Party that is mainstream that violence as unacceptable tactic in these studies show, the gop base is embracing it. Donald trump continues to blow that dog whistle, were talking about real threats of real people. You have to take it seriously. With that, lets get smarter with the help of our Leadoff Panel tonight. Senior Legal Affairs reporter Wall Street Journal reporter based in atlanta, and former u. S. Based attorney joyce vance who spent 25 years that a federal prosecutor. Cameron, i know you have interviewed fani willis, you know this, woman she has set a very aggressive timeline for this case. What should we take away from that . Well, it is not surprising that she did so. She has been very clear that she has been a Marshall Ford on this case, despite all of the annoyance around, it she is moving forward, moving forward quickly. Having said that, i think her timeline will be complicated by a question made today, and certainly going to object and be motions to delay. But, shes making it clear she is going to this is just days after the indictment shot, she is seeking to set a trial date. She is also, as you know, august 25th as the time when everybody has to show up to the courthouse, be booked, or they are going to be issued for the arrest. So moving forward. What can you tell us about the judge in georgia . Well, i just actually wrote a story about it. A very young man, 34 years, old just got on the bench, just got on the bench earlier this year. February this year. He is a former prosecutor. So we did not really he certainly has never handled a case like this since no one has. But, he is been described as a very balanced for professional, but this is going to be the ultimate test of a guy who just started on the job. Okay, joyce, im thinking about this date that fani willis wants in march for a trial. The fact that it is trump and 18 other defendants. What is this thing supposed to look like . Donald trump Standing Shoulder to shoulder with these people in one courtroom . So, i suspect by the time this case goes to trial, she will have lost some of those defendants. They will have either pled guilty street up, or they will have pled guilty and engaged in Cooperation Deals with her. But you know, prosecutors do these large cases, sometimes you have to reorganize the courtroom in little bit. You have to accommodate a defendant, their lawyer, perhaps a couple of lawyers and paralegal. So you will see long lines of tables in the courtroom, with defense teams. This can be condo sent in court as well, sometimes to hear a witness testify and prosecutors and judges are used to handling, it is maybe a bit less than an ideal situation, but donald trump will proceed to trial unless the judge orders otherwise with all of his codefendants. They remain in the case, and that will happen at some point in time, perhaps not on precisely the aggressive schedule that fani willis has asked for. When do you think it will . You know, it is hard to say, the only reason i make that comment is because, there will be such a barrage of fruit pretrial motions. We are seeing the beginning of it now with Mark Meadows Motion to remove the federal judge has set a really aggressive schedule. Hes holding a hearing in two weeks. In fact, he may be so fast that trump may perhaps change his mind about trying to remove the case to federal court. But that said, we will see these motions from other defendants. Jeff clark who is doj, very likely to make a removal motion. Trump himself. House these Motions Pileup and require some sort of a resolution, this may slow fani willis is desired scheduled all right, kyle, new, topic when i have been laser being focused on all day, i mean i actually read this 200 peach twitter and the doj, if you read the twitter filing, all 200 pages, you come away with the following. This judge, judge is an absolute powerhouse. She grilled today and the doj about the, antedated messages, as if she ran a tech company, not like she is a judge whos also overseeing Insurrection Cases multiple days a week. And what it appears is, that donald trump was either sending or receiving a ton of dms, or both, and the doj was laser focused on getting all of this information immediately. What was even more stunning, was that it wouldve worked really, really hard, and Spent Tons Of Money Fighting to not give this information up. So essentially fighting on Donald Trumps behalf. So the question is, kyle, why . I know you are all over this. Why on earth would twitter go through such Great Lengths not to share this information with the government . Well, you mention the answer to that, question raised it repeatedly, and these transcripts we are reading now. Jack smith got what he wanted, eventually, but the fight and judge kept saying, for what possible reason could you have to stand up for this particular person when you have never done this in the entire history of twitter, tried to stop the government essentially from essentially the wanted to tell donald trump got a Search Warrant for his account, and they said why do you want this . She even said, if it becomes your new ceo wants to cozy up to donald trump. Does elon musk have something to do with this. Twitter lawyer said no, that is not, it we just want to stand up for the Constitutional Rights of the company, and our users, but the judge and prosecutor said, well, how can we have never done it before in any other circumstances . Something about this particular user that this company at this time wants to protect. And what was the answer . What is that . What was their answer . That there wasnt really one, it was just we protect our users, this is a unique user where there might be executive privilege issues, unlike any other user in our is three. But the judge, said why is that different than any other privilege anyone else could raise like religious privilege, what an extended for users in those circumstances . They couldnt really distinguish. Kyle, how important was this information on the twitter account to jack smiths case . Well, some of that me see more details that we know in the indictment is that donald trump said extract at x time you know and i think one of the things you probably learn with which these tweets come from was the donald trump sending these tweets versus different parts of the white house and i think it is important to note, Donald Trumps mindset, was he the one sending specific tweets that we have written and talk so much about earlier than january 6th, and i think the fact that the indictment says, yes it on trump sent this particular tweet, suggests they know that for certain based on the data they got from pretty. Joyce, these direct messages, doesnt it seem out of character for donald trump . He is very wellknown, he does not use email, it is not taxed, it does not like to sign his name. Very well known for no paper trail. Donald trump all into the chap that the rest of us do . Which is sloppy texting . You know, it is intriguing, because trump notoriously does not text. He knows not believe a paper trail. Trump and his employees never took elated that he does not do that. Likely, what have been here, it did not occur to him that there might come a time where the Justice Department would be able to access his account here, and see what was going on behind the scenes on his twitter account. And as carl, says this is so essential, this is something prosecutors do for instance when the access email accounts. You can look at draughts, interactions between people, in this case with trump, you can see if it was actually trump would locked in, or someone else. You can determine that from geolocation that are. So a lot of really fascinating evidence, information that the former president left behind, and is likely simply because he failed to realize the government could ultimately access it. Kyle, help us understand how much the government wanted disinformation . What they were willing to find twitter day in and day out of the not get it . Well, filing we all saw unsealed about an effort to hold twitter in contempt, that was another aspect of this, judge so mother by the fact they just blew past two Court Deadlines to turn over the information. She ended up holding them in contempt, the government is urging. And ended up being fined about 350,000 for three days violations, part of that was the judge saying hey, yunnan musk is a billionaire, and he just bothers, company he can afford it. So, find them 50,000 and double every day, so 50,000, 100,000, 200,000 with her day, finally that is when they gave her by the data. 300,000 for what . I cannot wait to see. I hope we do. Cameron, lost talk about something more serious, there is interest over a death threat over the judge in the federal election case. Tours are grand jurors names and addresses have also been posted, and those people concerns in this case as it moves forward . Well the truth is we have been talking about Security Concerns here for years, and as you know, in the nightmares that qanon, monday we had lots of security around the voting county courthouse, putting up barricades, and Police Presence was extreme, there are Bomb Sniffing Dogs and that is going to be something everyone will be thinking about, certainly when this trial takes place in whatever manifestation and intensity at the courthouse and we have lots of concerns about that, District Attorney willis certainly mean that a big issue for her. When she let us all know that these were coming, these names were coming, she definitely let everyone know that the sheriff needed to be our high alert, because of death thats everybody has been receiving, and certainly has received a, the sheriff has received them, we have numerous Death Threats during 2020. So everyone is on high alert here for sure. Joyce, lets talk about Rudy Giuliani, at one point he was a very well respected mayor of new york city, he then took a turn, hungry for money, power, proximity to donald trump, and it became one of his closest allies and confidant and advisories. Cnbc is now reporting that while he did advise donald trump, trump never paid him and now what is Rudy Giuliani doing . Facing charges themself. You think that increase the chances that he could flip on trump . Well, trump does not seem to have learned the lesson of michael cohen, right, where he instead of Holding Cohen close, let him slip further out and ultimately cohen did talk with authorities. That was during the Trump Administration, and trump lead Justice Department, and that case was one and done nothing came of it. This is a different situation, and many of these individuals who find themselves indicted alongside trump will have to make a very calculated decision about whether he want to spend years of potentially in a georgia prison. I think for many of these, people and Rudy Giuliani knows a lot more about that bad Prison Conditions than many people do, that may become a compelling factor. When you line that up with his inability to the kind of lawyers that all of us would probably want to have in this kind of situation, he may be interested in pleading guilty, whether or not prosecutors believe he has anything to offer them at this point, it is an entirely different calculation. All right, well, that might be rudys calculus, but joyce, is trumps calculus that yes, rudy knows a lot, and in theory could harm trump . Be honest, is there any prosecutor out there that would view Rudy Giuliani as a credible cooperative witness given all the antics we have seen over the last few years . It would be tough to put Rudy Giuliani on the witness stand without a lot of cooperative material. But remember, the situation is now, in and everyone knows what he has to offer prosecutors, it is giuliani. So whether it is witnesses to, Money Information he could offer that they could corroborate, that is something he would determine and put forward with them. Trump certainly is not acting like someone who is concerned that giuliani will either flip cooperate or have anything valuable if he does. He seems to be really paying him very little attention at this point in time. We have a lot to cover tonight, thank you for starting us off. Joyce vance, chairman, and kyle, thank you so much.
