question. >> first of all -- >> let me start with this. my last name is raskin, okay? you don't have to add the s. i would like my time resorted. you what is the crime you want to impeach joe biden for and keep this nonsense going? why? what is the crime? tell america right now. >> you're about to find out very soon. >> what is the crime? >> you're about to find out very soon. >> the chair recognizes -- >> it got so bad, he couldn't answer the question. name the crime. it got so bad, if we turn the mike up, you heard arnold the pig, who is comber's legal counsel. >> said i'm going home. he just left. it was so embarrassing. i mean, first of all, it's such a stupid question.
judge kaplan in front of cordy said to meet which is what i would love to tell your audience. all i can tell you is i will run on estimate judge kaplan i have lived with that statement for end of time since i was a baby lawyer he said that to me. it really is up to chance. you will have to look to see what evidence gets in. there's a lot of moving parts or because there will be motions to forgo some of the evidence. who knows what witnesses will come forward and those that may not even testify. as of today rumblings that michael avenatti intends to testify on behalf of the defensive. there is rumblings of it whether or not he actually gets to testify there's a attorney client issues will attach is not going to build to testify about conversations have a st stormy y in a presumptively because he represented her as his counsel. we'll have to see. a lot to be said surely all eyes will be on this trial.
we've assembled them for you. just come meet with them the attorney didn't do that. and the attorney had an investigator who didn't show up to meetings and it's really crazy because the attorney listed on the witness list, these people. so we knew about the witnesses. he knew about the truth, but he just didn't present it because he didn't take the time to invest instigated to do a defense. and so because that investigation wasn't done, the courts found that this was ineffective assistance of counsel, and so that's why evidence of innocence that was readily available was not presented i mean, this so everyone understands, frank, this revelation and the road to determining that you had ineffective assistance of counsel. we're not talking months. we're not talking before you went to prison, talking longer than a decade years and years and years where you fought to try to prove it in a sense, even becoming your
judge out of the presence of the jury, that that was the advice that they gave& the client to reject it in favor of testifying in his own defense. yeah, that would be the reason they do that is because they're trying to protect themselves from any subsequent claim later on that the lawyers provided ineffective assistance of counsel. yeah, that's a good point. let me get your thoughts while i have you, robert, i'm there now fully empaneled jury and the six alternates. is this a jury you would have agreed to seat if you were representing trump? >> i think there were appropriate objections made. you went over them with judge scheindlin about some i think questionable calls about whether or not certain jurors should have been excused for cause. >> the defense has made a record of that in the event of a conviction, i'm sure those issues will be ones that we'll return on appeal. >> and that may or may not warrant a new trial if an appellate court decides that even in the event of a conviction, donald trump didn't receive a fair trial
the retaliatory strikes between iran and israel, or do you think there are more to come? >> well, i suspect the sound you hear is the sound of a lot of people exhaling cautiously, right now in the region and here in washington, i think there was a lot of anxiety ever since last week is unprecedented iranian strike from their territory directly into israel. several hundred missiles, drones, as you know they were basically all shot down, but still an enormous barrage and israel did not seem to be listening to counsel from the vitamin is duration to avoid, take the win and avoid keeping this cycle going. but perhaps the muted nature of the response to this strike suggests that for now it's over, but frankly, i just feel like we're entering a new and very dangerous phase in the confrontation between israel and iran, even if this round is over hi, david in your important new book titled new cold war's, you argue the west
place that it's going to happen, it's going to happen here. because new yorkers in general, i mean, we may have opinions, but i feel like we set the tone for are fair and equity. that's what we do clearly our justice system as being attacked. >> i think it's up to us to defend it, to defend due process, and to defend the rule of law against all of its enemies so now, even some conservatives we spoke to said that they thought didn't like gettier. >> the trial, but they thought it could get a fair trial and all the manhattan is we spoke to said that they weren't concerned about their personal safety, that they trusted the system and puffy be fine. but given everything that's happened this week, downtown manhattan, one has to wonder if they were actually on that jury if they feel the same anderson, we've got more cash. thanks so much perspective now from former trump campaign adviser davidai urban and norm eisen, who investigated trump has counsel to house democrats in the first impeachment and litigated cases involving him previously, he's also the author of trying trump a guide to his first elected russian
that i think people should watch for in the opening statements. first of all, the indictment, what does it mean? the de is going to argue this is about donald trump's attempt to interfere in the 2016 election. donald trump's team will probably argue this is a paperwork offense from a long time ago that he never should have been charged with and that he's not guilty of the second thing theme, of course, will revolve around some of the witnesses, michael cohen in particular, is a very high stakes, very controversial witness, as you just discussed with your panel. and the final theme that we will here, we're going to hear a lot about the burden of proof, the defense lawyers in any case, they always remind the jury over and over again that the prosecution, they bear the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. so listen for those three themes. when the parties open on monday we'll watch it together with you, elie honig. thank you very, very much. let's get some more insight right now from robert raise served as counsel, the former president trump during his first impeachment robert, thanks so much for joining us. how do you think trump's team is working to craft opening
eisen, who investigated trump is counsel to house democrats in the first impeachment and litigated cases involving him previously, he's also the author of trying trump a guide to his first election interference, criminal trial david, you've been saying all along, you don't think the foreign president can get a fair trial in manhattan, is it that you just don't believe those 12 jurors and six alternates when they say that they can't be fair. fair. and judge, the case in the facts hey, look, anderson, i think it's a tough it's tough situation, right? everybody believes, i think in their heart, they can be fair, but they come, they come to this case with their own set of biases. and and if you just look at the demographics, almost eight and ten people in manhattan voted against donald trump so if you're, if you're one of those folks, i don't know how the jury breaks down, but i'm wondering who they voted for. and if you didn't vote for the former president i think you probably come to that jury with a real bias against him. >> norm, the former president's allies, they're not having about juror number 11. she said in court that she doesn't like the foreign presence persona that he seemed
