someone who used to be president and currently running to be president again, is caught up in so many allegations of misconduct, of crimes. and so everything changes now. i mentioned this once earlier tonight. we will remember march 30th. it will be marked in the history books. the future is unwritten, whether it s marked at the beginning of a trial that sends someone to prison or the beginning of a process that cleared his name. we can t tell you that and anyone that tries to p prejudge that might be getting ahead of the process but is the end of a period where donald trump was not legally held to account. and today, in the rest of donald trump s life are different, as he learns, perhaps for the first time in his life, what it is to be completely out of control, to have to react to a government and propecsecutorial system whe his antics do not matter what matters is what a judge says, what a jury of his peers says not what he says or posts. so we re going forward on th ....
Is that accurate more or less it is. the way i used to look at this when i was a prosecutor is, i think a very human way of thinking about things which is there s a set of facts somebody you can prove has done a, b, c, and d and then at a lawyer, you take your sort of legal grid and say okay, what kind of laws did that violate? so there are federal laws and state laws and so the same set of facts can result in crimes such as wire fraud or mail fraud or securities fraud, and they can also result in certain state crimes it s one ball of wax in terms of what you re dealing with, but there are different trip wires you can have gone over in the course of that conduct so what you re seeing here is i think the same ball of wax where it resulted in federal crimes that michael cohen pled guilty ....
For the same facts and essentially the same crime, assuming this is the payment of hush money in violation of campaign finance laws and the covering up of those records illegally under new york law same facts, but remember who indicted michael cohen it was donald trump s justice department it wasn t a local democrat that ran for prosecutor it was bill barr who indicted michael cohen on these facts and i think it s so important to keep pointing that ut. if this is a made-up deal, then donald trump s own justice department ignored it and went ahead and put the man we re looking at right now in prison the other thing i think is important to point out is sure hope that donald trump is not given the opportunity that he seeks to be in handcuffs bragg s job is so hard right now, and that is he needs to ....
Ethical lawyers. and i think that their spin was that they were independent there are reports that the d.a. was increasingly putting pressure on mr. weisselberg. there are facts alleged in letitia james attorney general complaint that suggests mr. weisselberg has criminal liability for additional crimes, and his lawyers who took him through his guilty plea, they re real lawyers who represented him and not the organization and so i m not saying casting aspersions on a new counsel, but i view it as a sign that mr. weisselberg may not be cooperating but he may in fact face additional charges. that is just a guess, i m sort of inituting that from my own knowledge of these people and what i would do if i were unthat situation as a prosecutor and ....
Dignity. the governor of florida does not know the facts so he cannot talk about questionable facts in the case he doesn t know them only the grand jury knows them he s making a statement about something he doesn t know the answer to and throwing out, as you said, andrew, dog whistles h historically, this meme, this idea among the right that african americans, that black folks who are in positions are controlled by some jewish overseer who is pulling their strings, that s what that statement reads like perhaps this governor should maybe read a history book because he might not understand what he s channeling but he s channeling an era in american history that is one of the most ugly, that he s probably not allowing to be taught in school, but that idea that this prosecutor, and by the way, not just this prosecutor, an andrew, and i ll let you have a final word on it, it was a grand jury that looked at facts, that looked at evidence, and this ....
