Phang show at 12 00 p. M. Eastern right here on msnbc. The reidout with joy reid is up next. Tonight on the reidout youre confused. You think im on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. Im not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. Correct. But from the beginning, the right has tried to make trumps Georgia Election interference trial all about d. A. Fani willis. And today, the judge found no actual Conflict Of Interest, but did manage to gratuitously impugn her integrity. Also tonight, we need to have a serious Reality Check about the rightwing propaganda that trump is somehow gaining historic levels of support among black voters. He wishes. But we begin tonight with the most american of realities. If youre a rich white guy and especially if youre a celebrity and a former president , not only are you Above The Law, you are so Above The Law that if you get indicted for trying to overturn an election and thus overthrow the government,

and just hold it, seal it, if you, like a sealed indictment. don t bring it to trial just yet, until you ve gathered what you really think will be necessary to convince the jury that has already made up its mind. i don t think we re there. senator, what do you think? i don t think they ve made their case. i would point people, if they haven t read it, to ron johnson s letter. i thought it was a very important letter where he laid out really the underlying reason why i believe that president trump wasn t doing this. but i won t get into the details of that one. i want to really focus on what jennifer said. sitting here, listening to adam schiff brought back horrible memories for me. the words he used were almost verbatim what i used and so many republicans used, which is, we have our constitutional duty to do when it came to bill clinton back in 1998 and 99. in that case, all democrats agreed with the president. every democrat agreed that what the president did was illegal. he perjure
have enough evidence to move forward and will hurd who many thought might back impeachment, not particularly a trump fan, said he was not convinced. let s discuss. jen began home i ll go to you and then right to you and everyone wants to did the democrats make their case. they did so and overwhelming and in fact i m a former federal prosecutor and attorney general and if i had this case i would take it to a jury and without a reasonable doubt i would have a conviction if i did not have an unbias jury. they have already made up their mind. it is important to consider as democrats to slow our roll a little bit. i was glad to hear that adam schiff said there is other information and this is not the end of things. and people are saying before you toss it over to the senate, why don t you take your vote on what you ve heard and just hold it. seal it, like a sealed
that the commonwealth, and that s what the government is called in massachusetts, can be held responsible if they lose exculpatory evidence. that evidence would have been likely to affect the outcome of the proceeding. in a sense, the defense is doing the commonwealth a favor, putting it on record. if you have this evidence, you may object later on to the scope of what we have to provide, but for now, put a lock on it. seal it. don t lose it. if you do lose it, then we re going to come after you as the defense for losing it and ask the court to dismiss the case. that was a glimpse into part of the defense s plan going forward. lisa, any surprises there in the courtroom? no. what you really saw was a lot of the pain staking housekeeping that goes on early on in the trials. it doesn t win the riveting award. we saw kevin spacey. he looked haggard, i think it is fair to say. he didn t speak, as far as i could hear, during the hearing. i think we heard a thank you to the judge. min
