>> so the prosecutor is arguing that governor abbott circumvented the process for pardons and exceeded his authority and violated the separation of powers doctrine. is that the best argument? >> it's an argument to make, but i don't think it's going to persuade the texas court of criminal appeals. again, the question isn't really so much about whether the governor is following the law. i think there's reason to question his judgment. this defendant seems an extremely unlikely candidate for mercy. the jury deliberated for hours. they found that when he shot this protester five times that that was murder, and in the days before he killed the victim, mr. perry made it clear that he wanted to go after protesters. after george floyd was killed he sent a text saying he wanted to shoot looters. in another text he said he was hoping to catch a negro, and
but he has again stated that his... ..primarily his priority is the elimination of hamas. he says, "we want... "we've gone the extra mile to bring them back, "but the goals of the war, "primarily the elimination of hamas." unfortunately, that's why i am not very optimistic that even this round will work, because the prime minister is focused publicly on highlighting the gaps and his unwillingness to commit that going into this agreement in good faith will be the end of the war. however, again, this is not exactly what he was telling quietly to the americans. so the fact that the president made it public put bibi a little bit in a box. and i think if bibi indeed keeps sabotaging this with his statements, biden is putting himself in a position where he has the moral authority to increase the pressure and potentially even engage in a humanitarian indirect track to at least help the american citizens who are still being held in there.
mishandled by her from the beginning allowing mr. trump to file an action in civil court regarding a search warrant, which is criminal in nature and gets handled during the course of criminal litigation, was the first mistake twice. >> she has been reversed by the 11th circuit and she's been chastised by them for an essence making decisions which are completely against the law completely against pending pending precedent. >> so it really comes down to the point that i can come up with no other reason for this, then she is doing this to purposely delay mr. trump's litigation there are many defendants who have legally challenged authority of special counsel's, for example, hunter biden lost a challenge to the authority of special counsel, david weiss. >> do you see this as different? >> it is not different and it goes all the way back actually to paul manafort when he was
walmart vitamin aisle today, the most anticipated moment of this election and the stakes couldn't be higher. the president and though former president, one stage, moderated by jake tapper and dana bash, the cnn presidential debate thursday, june 27th, nine live on cnn and streaming on max the florida judge overseeing donald trump's classified documents case is once again delaying the proceedings today, judge aileen cannon released a new schedule which adds a hearing on a gag order request from prosecutors, a number of other hearings are also delayed, including one announced yesterday, examining whether special counsel jack smith has the authority to prosecute trump and in a rare move, judge cannon will allow political partisans and constitutional scholars not otherwise involved in the case to take part in the arguments, keep in mind there is still no start date for the trial, nearly a year after trump's indictment joining us now is former miami dade county court judge jeff swartz. >> judge, things for being with
charged and he challenged a special prosecutor's statute and the application of a special prosecutor no court has ever granted this motion, and that includes multiple districts and a couple of circuits. so where she thinks that she is better than ever everybody else and knows this better than anybody else that she needs the help of ed meese, of all people to tell her what to do and allow someone who is not even involved in the litigation has no dog in the fight whatsoever to be involved in the litigation itself is completely unheard of. she is doing things just to do them and she won't rule because she knows if there's an appeal on anything she rules on the 11th circuit when now have the ability on their own to remove her from this litigation if cannon rules for trump, when it comes to the authority of the special counsel, i mean, is the
trying to do here to the rule of law, we're trying to use that the authority to ensure that people can trust our justice system, is essential to maintain a constitutional republic, and they are undermining the faith in that. we are here to hold the line and say no, the rule of law has to be adhered to and we can have prosecutors using our courts for political vendettas and that's exactly what they are doing to donald trump and i can tell you that people around this country see that clearly. i have traveled not -- will hundred 23 cities in 29 states the past six and have once, everywhere i go neil, east, west, north and south it's the same. the energies the same because people are fed up and they see the democrats in the far left have a push this pendulum to four. it has to swing back and we have to do our job in congress to assist with that. hold these people accountable and ensure the law is being adhered to. that is the effort he was deeply out here in the coming weeks to do so many parties are worried about where this is going, larry
puppeteer of someone who doesn't work in the federal system. that he is pulling the strings of alvin bragg to get his to bring the case, causing him to win the case. and a person who has all this power doesn't do anything about his own justice department who today is bringing a case as you pointed out beginning at trial against his own son. we know something about joe biden, and people may have their views about whether they want to vote for him or not, but we know that biden loves his son more than he wants to hurt trump. next time you have a republican on the show you should ask them, isn't it true that joe biden has the power to fire the special counsel. the answer would be yes. isn't it true that biden has the power constitutionally to pardon in advance his son and spare him from this spectacle. he does. he didn't do anything of those things. the idea that someone who is not exercising his authority to
believe is abusing his authority as well. we have the funding streams, we have mechanisms to try to get control of that jack smith for the record, has managed to persuade a duly appointed judge to sign off on a search warrant that is yielded troves of highly classified documents with the former president squirrel away at mar-a-lago attempted according to prosecutors, to move those documents around to avoid detection. >> smith has persuaded grand juries to indict trump for that and also bring charges connected with january 6. all while being legitimately opposed in the court's up to and including the supreme court by the former president's legal team none of that suggests a lack of due process, let alone evidence of wrongful prosecution to the contrary yet here is what republican governor and vice presidential hopeful doug burgum is now saying well, i think what's sad for america as the whole weaponization of the system and what we're going to see more of this he provided no evidence nor didn't another man desperately volume to become vice presidents and her tim scott there's no doubt that
so he could continue investigating this case after biden took office. last year, the attorney general even promoted wise to special counsel status which gave him more authority. a month after that promotion, wise indicted hunter biden on charges stemming from a form he filled out when purchasing a gun six years ago. now, just step back and imagine if the circumstances were reversed. and an obama appointed jury had been investigating don jr. do you think the trump administration would have kept him and gave him more power? so no. the d.o.j. has not been weaponized against trump or the republicans. and isn't don a partisan witch hunt either. brad could have chosen to bring up the case as soon as he took office, bragg could have chosen to bring up the case as soon as
political opponents. and as we reported last week's, i'm the former president's senate allies are vowing to bottle up any legislation at all in response to the new york verdict. now let's remember this was a state trial, not a federal one. and there's no evidence the federal justice department had any role whatsoever in it, let alone the attorney general, let alone president biden. yet from the beginning, the former president has an almost literal sense. try to make a federal case out of it. a notion his supporters now fully embrace house speaker mike johnson for one last week, he said the supreme court should get involved. now he's saying congress should, with all its got listen, we are the rule of law party of chaos is not a conservative value and we have to fight back and we will, with everything in our arsenal, but we do that within the confines of the rule of law. >> so what we'll do with our tools that we have in congress in the house is we'll use oversight, responsibility and we're going to look at special counsel jack smith, who we believe is abusing his authority as well. we have the
