agree with jonathan on this. i think the falling asleep is the worst thing so far this year to happen to donald trump. because it is a core thing that he constantly talks about his vigor and stamina and all the supporters draw these crazy pictures of him, whatever he's doing, crazy stuff that they do. and that falling asleep goes straight to that. that takes a strength he thought he had into a weakness. on the other part of this, the biden campaign has been very smart. they shouldn't say a word about this until the point he's convicted. once he's convicted, then they should just go all in on it and basically say do you really want to elect a president that has been convicted of a felony in the course of this? i would not say a word until that moment happens. >> adrienne, final word to you. do you agree with that as well as a strategist? >> yeah, look, donald trump being on trial speaks for itself. why get into the politics of this? why try to politicize it? the biden campaign, both the white house and the campaign

trump team denies that was what was taking place. even if that were what happened. it's not against the law. the allegation of law-break something that you didn't keep records correctly. that you mismarked. >> ainsley: charges a legal fee. >> will: even at that, that's a misdemeanor that had expired on the statute of limitations. then he turns it into an election fraud thing, which he doesn't have jurisdiction on. the fec as matt points out has passed on it and uses that to make it a felony that is still active. that's why i asked my question. it's super weird to have two lawyers sitting on a jury. you kind of look at it and go i think the gamble is those two lawyers will go you don't see what everyone watching what the four of us see. that's not appropriate use of the law. >> brian: not if one of those lawyers wants to be a contributor on msnbc. >> will: right. >> brian: i see a lot of these lawyers on these other channels actually think this case is good and strong. which makes me think really

falsifying of business records, it's a misdemeanor, 1 through 3 years depending on what state you are in. the only way that bragg revived this is by bootstrapping it's a felony saying well they falsified these records to conceal underlying crime, but the question is how do they do that and who did it? did trump do it? did michael cohen do it and what was the underlying crime. bragg said in a press conference they violated state and federal election law except the problem is doj declined to bring the federal election law charge against trump. i think they are going to focus on the fact that, again, he didn't even know how these were labeled and, two, even if he did, what's the problem? >> will: let me see if i can summarize this that i understand it completely. so, to ainsley's point, making these payments under the guise of nda isn't illegal. they make it illegal by calling it bookkeeping fraudulent activity when which by the way you point out statute run on that misdemeanor. bragg says i will make them a

felony saying illegal campaign contribution that you were helping out the trump campaign for presidency. and that comes down to, by the way as we hear from david pecker the nat "national enquirer" wits they will prove it's a theme and strategy overarching that trump and cohen had employed, and that's going to be come down to your point testimony from trump vs. cohen on whether or not they were actually making these payments to further his campaign. and this will be cohen on one side, a perjurer and liar, convicted perjurer vs. donald trump. >> i wrote a book about "revenge" about donald trump and so there's no doubt, i think, on anyone's mind that cohen wants to get trump and that he has, you know, a real axe to grind here. but, look, the consequence of this case could be life-altering for the former president. that's in the hands of these 12 people. >> ainsley: does this set a precedent for other people who want to run for president. what if they did they told me in eighth grade any wanted to run

cases and also running for president at the same time. he is calling this election interference. alvin bragg is calling it election interference from 2016. what do you make of it this morning? >> it is incredible. here we are in new york and we've got a president -- former president of the united states in a sham trial. a 7-year-old business filing issue that is being trumped up into 34 felonies. that whole thing is crazy. if it was a business filing case it should have never been dropped, it is not urgent. the idea they can take something that would normally in business be a miss demeanor and turn it into 34 felonies. every step you take is a felony for jaywalking. the whole thing is bizarre. then put that against the fact we have protests going on at columbia and yale and then we have people like saying that oh,

then they have to take that and make it a larger crime which is that it was used to conceal a campaign finance violation. that seems like a very tough leap to get them to. that's what they would have to do to find him guilty, correct? >> that's correct. what they have to do is essentially tell the jury, lay out for the jury this complex legal scheme that they've charged president trump with that i, even after months and months of looking into this, still can't quite figure out. we still don't know how alvin bragg and his team will try to convince the jury there was this felony on top of the misdemeanor charge that he did not charge former president trump with and we'll hear from the defense team. they will try their hardest to knock it out of the park today and really explain to the jury that although there is this hush money payment, although there are these facts along the way

Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

they're getting deep at the underpinnings of the second crime. remember, this is 34 originally misdemeanor counts of false kaigs case of business records, bumped up to a felony because the prosecution needs to prove not only did donald trump sign those checks or do the falsification with, one, an intent to defraud, but two a separate intent to, in this case it's conceal, a previous crime which is, we're calling it election interference. it's really campaign finance law violation. the prosecution has sought to elevate their language surrounding how they are describing this case. it's going to be the defense's job to pick that apart and break it down. the defense in one of those motions in limine made an argument not to use the phrase catch and kill. they didn't win. they thought it was too prejudicial. oftentimes i think it's misleading when we talk about a scheme to suppress negative information, a catch-and-kill

Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

he said is not that this case is about falsified business records. he said this case is about a conspiracy to corrupt the 2016 presidential election, and then he goes on to describe not one but three schemes that they tried to kill, the stormy daniels story, the karen mcdougal story and the story of a doorman that there was a meeting between donald trump and michael cohen and david pecker on august 15th to discuss all of the ways that they would work together to hide and conceal from the public these disparaging stories that would affect the outcome of the 2016 election. and they went on red alert when the access hollywood tape came out. so the falsification of the business records is really just a means to the end of corrupting the 2016 election, and i think that is not only what makes this a crime, it makes it a felony and also brings great jury appeal, from a trivial mistake on business records, instead to a much larger scheme to corrupt the election.
