saying show me the man, i'll show you the crime. that's what this smacks of. it's not only that legally it doesn't stand up in the sense that he doesn't plead an actual crime here, even though he says he's pleading 34 crimes, the story is incoherent. what he says in the factual description is that by doing these things what trump did was basically defraud the public in to electing him in 2016. in point of fact, if trump had assumed these hush money arrangements were in fact campaign donations, that they were in kind campaign expenditures and if that happened and he said to his people, i think we need to be careful here, these arrangements were cut or made days before the 2016 election, which means under the federal campaign laws, he

then they missed the mark gravely. because federal election law makes it clear that the facts in this case do not equal a violation of federal campaign laws at all. the fec has opined on that already. the justice department, the federal prosecutors have refused this case because of that. so, you know, it's shocking to me that a state prosecutor would try and prosecute something as thin as this and prosecute a violation of federal election laws when they're state prosecutors which further enhances the position we have taken all along that this is a political persecution. political prosecution. and the weaponization of the justice system which honestly makes me ill. and it's -- it should not be happening in the united states of america. >> bret: we had some reporting that the judge or the prosecutors were concerned about some of the social media posts that the former president has made around this case and that the judge read them from the

his office. bragg will not prosecute hillary clinton even though she just admitted to violating campaign laws by paying for the fake russian dossier. none of this has alerted the watch dogs to government abuse our media no just the opposite. the media are cheerleading our new standard of justice. >> it's our legal system in action saying nobody is above the law. >> nobody is above the law not republicans not democrats not donald trump not anybody. >> i tend to think nobody is above the law. >> we have political leaders who are not above the law. >> we don't believe that anybody should be above the law. >> they're all beating the same drum if you will. >> no one is above the law. today's evidence is that includes trump as well.

to and a federal judge agreed was a crime and sentenced him on, but at the same time, you can look at this because the feds didn't go forward for a whole variety of reasons, as state crimes that's what alvin bragg has now been confirmed done in bringing these charges and seeing what are the state crimes that are alleged. it's important to note that he may have found that a sort of enhancement for these state crimes comes from either state campaign laws or federal campaign laws. there is a way that they may form a part of the charges here, and it would be permissible potentially to do that, but we don't know yet that's something that a lot of legal nerds like me are waiting to see exactly how the charges play out >> there's so many people that were involved, sort of different pieces of the scream michael cohen pleaded guilty to tax evasion, false statements to a federally insured bank causing an unlawful corporate

going to meet on logistics of arraignment. based on that donald trump tweeted, they are going to arrest me on tuesday. based on these false leaks or these real leaks that turned out maybe not to be true. but fact of the matter is, based on everything that was leaked, why wouldn't he think he was going to be arrested. try to get near that courthouse. it's as if he's there already. why wouldn't anyone think that was the plan to go forward? look, they shouldn't go forward, they don't have a case that is winnable or sustainable. not only was there not a crime committed, but there wasn't a wrong act. nondisclosure agreement in a civil settlement that happened 16 years ago. some way somehow they try to fit that square peg into a round hole. there is no campaign law violation whatsoever. and those campaign laws are very clear, they have to be exclusively for the

misdemeanor into a felony by applying to national a national election for federal office eight campaign laws that aren't enforced criminally in new york. he is from the borough in new york, in manhattan, so it does bring up a very good question. your thoughts? >> i never disagree with anti- when it comes to anything involving the fbi and those prosecutors in new york city where andy was one of the top federal prosecutors for many years. what we have here is an electri democratic da who campaigned on the idea of prosecuting to president trump who is relying on the testimony of a convicted federal felon michael cohen is the witness to bring charges that are years out of date and based on legal theory that somehow this payoff to stormy daniels of $130,000 which in itself is not illegal was somehow a violation of the federal campaign laws, twisting law to stretch, to cover such facts.

in addition, all of that, there were other problems, he would have to prove the trump was involved in falsifying business records, second, he would have to prove the trump understood the incredibly complex and convoluted campaign laws that nobody understands and that having known them, he intended to violate them and finally they would have to get around what is known as the dual-purpose doctrine, if trump had a personal reason or a commercial reason for paying the money to stormy daniels, it is not under the law a campaign contribution and he didn't violate anything. the department of justice spent years working on it, the federal elections commission looked at it and they both said the law isn't clear and facts don't support it.

is not just novel, it seems abusive of the legal system. here is in a nutshell. take a business records misdemeanor and try to transform it, supercharge it into a felony by attaching to it a second crime. what is the second crime? that is the question we don't know. it can only be one of two things, campaign violation under state law or federal law. it can't be a campaign violation under state law because it was a federal election. it can't really be a campaign violation under us statutory campaign laws because bragg is a manhattan da. local and state prosecutors can't bring charges, only on state crimes.
