he got the sentencing date his lawyer asked for.>> what is your point? i mean, the parade of lies about the trial in spite of the fact that is in black and white. this is not one where you can argue. you have his claim now which is i wanted to testify but they prevented me. that's is alive. it is demonstrably not the case. the judge made sure on the record. the claim that this was fabricating there was no evidence, the first three witnesses were all aligned with him. david packer, hope hicks, and the chief accounting officer where all people aligned with
they've done and they come to sentencing and their apologetic. on the contrary here not only do we have a person who has pointed out multiple times has been found to be in contempt of court with respect to the gag order 10 times but has a number of other violations of the gag order that we as the press corps witnessed and the da never brought to the judge's attention. count on those to factor into sentencing from the da's perspective. they want to go to the judge and say this is a person who deserves punishment notwithstanding the fact that he's a first time offender. you cannot quantify the damage done by falsification of business records. it's not like he stole $50,000 from adam. but what he did was worse and he risked the foundation of our democracy elections for his own
rigged system. it is really interesting to see republicans talk about the rule of law and their respect for the system and for america while attacking this verdict. they are attacking the judge and thing it's his instructions are the reason it have learned. what is clear, the republican party wants to have a future. it seems as though it behooves you to get behind tromp and to continue. it is also interesting to see the president come out and say or give more and more aggressive. donald trump somebody that had snap after the election and just can't let it go. it is also the reason that he
this is going nowhere fast. >> can you walk us through how it works. he is going to appeal. >> he is going to appeal at the state level. is going to try to find an issue whether it's the instructions by the judge or the gag order, something if not all things and create an appeal and try to do that before the court of appeals so he can stave off whatever sentence the judge imposes in july. >> is it safe to say, this is another loyalty test for everyone in the party, especially those that want to be considered for the he -- the vice president position. >> they are lining up to echo the language of donald trump which is saying falsely and wrongly that this was a conspiracy theory carried out by president biden and it's a
called up merrick garland like trump with new bar and say i want you to do this, how did this hunter biden case start in 2018 under the trump justice department. >> and joe biden justice department has allowed it to continue. so joe biden to me, is going to benefit from this for a couple of reasons. one, he staying above the fray, number two, he's not attacking a criminal process and three, he showing compassion. >> well, say, i mean, obviously this is not the president who is the defendant, unlike the prior case when you had a foreign president as the defendant and the action i remember a lot was made about the judge not wind to go forward the plea because they were viewing it as a quote, unquote, sweetheart deal that was not the judge's logic behind her ultimate decision in this issue and say we're hearing this now, we'll see how this trial goes. gene rossi, chris whipple. thank you both so much. >> good to be with you well, president biden, in full-on attack mode after trump's
is expect the defense strategy to be because there was a document he signed which said he wasn't taking drugs and was according to it's a tough situation. and the judge, yesterday ruled that an addiction specialist could not testify as an expert. i assume what abbe lowell was going to try to do is meticulously go through when the when the form was signed and whether at that precise its moment. hunter hunter biden was abusing drugs because it is true like a lot of attics, sometimes he was sometimes you wasn't. >> and whether the timing matches up is something the prosecution is going to have to prove and i absolutely certainly going to make them you know, is going to challenge that at every point but it's also worth remembering the vast majority of people charged in federal court wind up being convicted. >> so he sent a lot of trouble, geoff tube and thank you. >> kate benningfield as well, coming up, a former president
had a verdict, and you know the story from there. 34 felony counts. the jury found him guilty on all 34 of the felony charges. whereupon he totally melted down, earning what i think was really the headline for the ages from that day, quote, convicted, trump blames judge, jury, and a country gone to hell. what a nice man. what a leader, right? but while that was happening in new york on thursday, there was a big surprise in michigan. now, do you remember seeing this tape? if you're a longtime viewer of the show, you might recognize this. this was from right after the 2020 election. it was december 2020, december 14th. this is the state capitol in michigan, and we played this on the air at the time that it happened. because it really -- this really appeared to be a crime being committed there on tape, and an important crime. these are republicans in michigan showing up at the door
at least 152 posts on three pro-trump websites urging the killing or beating of judge merchan or the judge in new york or judge mcafee in georgia. one january 6th convict who has already served his prison sentence for taking part in the trump mob attack on congress, he posted on twit aerophoto of prosecutor alvin bragg and a noose. it is terrorizing to the people involved in these cases. and it is systemic. they do it to all of them with all of the cases. it's designed to make the legal system unworkable when it comes to trump, right? it's designed to make people unwilling to participate in the system if trump is involved in the case because you and your family will be put in danger. right? it's designed, if you are part of a case involving trump, if you are considering being -- bringing some sort of legal action, however well justified, that relates to trump, they want
cocaine, pushing his son to rake in money, to spin it on the rest of the family. but i don't think he would get sentenced to prison, you probably should not get sentenced to prison and if he does, his -- his father will pardon him. >> dana: it like the last lawyer. >> jessica: good to be back around the table, everybody as is that it is innocent until proven guilty and hundred biden deserves that as president trump and every defendant in the country deserves that. but countered a little but with my friends, the judge and jesse, the prosecution about the case in delaware so they knew what they were dealing with. it wasn't as of the defense chose to bring the defense against themselves in delaware. nothing in the idea of the family showing up i differ with you on it a little bit as well, i hope never to be in a position of having to be in a courtroom but certainly i faced hardship in my life and my family has always been there for me, not surprised, not surprised by this. one thing you did not hear today from hunter biden or jill biden or joe biden, were any words
probably the most credible that might least quotable guy. >> jesse: a hero folded junior, the welcome that trump received a ufc was something. you medially after the first flight begin get we had a let's go brandon chand. how do you interpret that, that's new york, new jersey's basics that had to make the president feel good, my best friend from college was there and said the place was, he's not a supportive president trouble he said the place was, the electricity was palpable. i would say a couple of things, first, there is no doubt the president has enjoyed and carnival fundraising boom as a result we had to thin the trial was a catalyst for the verdict was at trial, maybe the catalyst was the trial itself. maybe the verdict because he was not raising that kind of money during the trial, it was after the trial i would argue that the not guilty verdict would have raised even more money. for me two things you noted, first those no doubt of his going enthusiasm amongst the boulders. and the judge made a point there may be new supporters of given,
