>> that's right. i think you plays what was the biggest highlight of the hearing which was when the judge forced mr. trump's attorney to confront the full implication of his immunity argument saying that a president can literally get away with murder unless congress first impeaches him. the hearing also underscored that this larger question of how criminal law applies to presidents has never really been decided. you know, it was assumed that nixon was going to be indicted for watergate crimes after he left office which is why ford pardoned him, but could a president be charged with ordering a military strike? even the special counsel's office today suggested the answer to that was probably not. so to me, the most interesting question out of this hearing is whether the appeals court or later the supreme court on appeal, will feel compelled to write a new doctrine on the limits of presidential immunity or whether the judges can find a way to sidestep that issue by ruling what president trump did in trying to overturn the

hoax call before the police arrived. these underscore the types of threats and harassment that are involved in the case of donald trump. >> threats being sent in to election headquarters all around the country. it is a hairy time. ken, thank you very much. joining us now, laura jarrett and lisa rubin, my favorite women to discuss this with. it is remarkable to have this issue of immunity be argued in front after court. appellate court deciding something that never has been before because every time a president has gotten in trouble for something, they have resigned and with nixon, he was pardon. the issue has never come up. >> it's never come up. special counsel would say the reason is no one has ever done what he's been accused of having done. we should mention his own

they seem to question whether it would properly befall a court at this time. so i just think the absolute immunity claim has no legs. >> that was brought up in a miki brief whether or not this needed to be tried before it was appealed. one other question for you. when we are considering what happens next, we are looking at a supreme court that you said was appointed by donald trump much of it. i mean, i just wonder how confident you can possibly be in their decisions but mostly what i'm wondering now is the delay tactics. laura jarrett was talking about this was not exactly a serious argument from the trump team. it's just an effort to get them to push it down the line so that if donald trump is re-elected, he has the ability, the chance to dismiss all of this. do you see it as just a delay tactic and is there more that might be up the trump legal

records. let me go back quickly to the watergate experience. there was a grand jury subpoena issued for white house tapes and this very d.c. court of appeals weighed because everything in laws are balancing. weighed executive privilege and they said that can be very legitimate. but in this case, it gives way to violations of criminal law and the d.c. court of appeals had two sentences. i hesitate to read. let me read you two sentences from this very court. they said that sovereignty remains at all times with the people. they do not forfeit through elections the right to have the law construed against and applied to every citizen. they were saying president nixon was not above the law. the claim of immunity is based upon a premise that there's a very strong executive. well that's right. but there's also a very strong congress and a very strong

about when they were being or they don't want a all powerful demagogue or maybe that's my word. this past summer, i visited ty kond row ga. there's an interesting relic there. a backpack or knapsack that a soldier before the revolution carried and he had a note in it and it said never surrender your liberty to a foreign invader or an aspiring demagogue. i think that's what our founders are concerned about. that's why we have equal branches of government and i believe in the court and the supreme court no matter who appointed them are going to do the right thing. president nixon appointed four justices and on one of the tapes, he said i'm not worried because i appointed those justices. turned out to be 8-0, their ruling against him on the issue of immunity and whether or not

of power. a memo that says here's who you're supposed to tell and that does include the white house. john kirby is a particularly interesting position because he used to be the spokesperson for the pentagon so he has some knowledge of the inner workings there. he is now the spokesperson for the national security council. again, president biden was told multiple days after he was in the hospital. defense secretary austin was in the hospital that he was there. but he wasn't told until today, five days later, that he had cancer. nobody at the white house knew about the cancer diagnosis until today. according to john kirby. and going back to our top story, whatever the decision from the d.c. appellate court the presidential immunity issue is likely to go to the supreme court. when it does, what precedent will they consider? joining us now, former prosecutor, john sail. he was an assistant prosecutor on the watergate case.

watergate and the tapes and immunity is going to hold when say roe v. wade's precedent did not hold? >> the d.c. circuit, which has this case, i think has an easy question. total immunity is absurd. for reasons that some of your prior guests have said. there's crazy examples but that would give the president license to do anything he wanted. have, tell the fbi director to plant evidence or tell the head of the joint chief of staffs to kill one of his political rivals. i think there's some legitimate immunity and the case will go back to the trial court. the court will work out the details of immunity and ultimately, if trump is convicted, all of that can be reviewed on appeal, but i just don't think it's going to be reviewed now. interestingly, some of the justices and their questions,
