and he has been warned over over and over again that's where these threats lead, and it only leads him to escalate them. what strikes me is, how people talk about special treatment. he is being treated with such kid gloves. he is being treated so unlike any other criminal defendant in his position, in that there has been, so far, very little sanction for threats, witness intimidation,'s intimations. when you think about what's happening in georgia, georgia's law on bail is in my opinion unreasonably strict. and that i if basically puts the burden of proof on the defendant to show that they don't pose a risk of witness tampering or obstruction of justice. there is no universe in which donald trump poses no risk of witness tampering and obstruction of justice but i don't think anyone expects him to be held pending trial but at

have voting machine breaches in rural coffee county, georgia. it speaks about witness intimidation of poll workers in fulton county. it ties it back to the oval office, and it parallels what is going on in other states. georgia's r.i.c.o. statute is broad and is to be deliberately construed in its perfect mechanism for punishing and recognizing all these crimes. >> the fact that georgia's r.i.c.o. statute is broad, broader than the federal one, why you think trump's claims and his attorneys likely attempts to say this doesn't fall under r.i.c.o. will be unsuccessful? >> i do think they will be unsuccessful. i am sure there are be a number of challenges. i have no doubt these defendants will be represented by very capable attorneys. the statute is clear and very broad. >> we know, actually, that trumps two defense lawyers in the state of georgia are really capable attorneys. they have been really successful. even people who have tried cases against them in the court have

white house, again there appears to be a cooperating witness in the room, but it really starts very early in this indictment and continues throughout it, this theme of cooperation, which has been very elusive for people investigating trump in the past both in connection with election interference but also in his business tough for prosecutors to come by cooperation at least up until charge point. >> joyce, two-parter about the idea of a protective order being issued. we know, it was implemented already in the federal case, so first part, do we think one could come in georgia as well, and, secondly, i mean, trump has been on a tirade on social media, all cap posts after all capped posts engaging in what some think is witness intimidation or meddling with the case. various judges and d.a.s, criticizing them. what consequences might he face?

estimated shift from 12 million to 18 million american adults. in a moment, i will speak to professor barbara f walter from the university of california who is an expert on civil conflict. author of the book how civil war start. she says we're closer to civil war than any of us would like to believe. so is it any wonder that during friday during a hearing regarding a protected order in the doj's election interference case against trump, judge tanya chutkan issued a stark warning to trump about witness intimidation. chuck and told the internees the even ambiguous statements could be considered an attempt to intimidate witnesses and would then trigger the court to take action. she is clearly worried and we all should be. i mean, can you imagine if any other presidential candidate and a recent decades, bush, romney, obama had multiple supporters using in getting

potential contempt charge or any kind of penalty for violating not just judge chutkan's order but any other pretrial order insofar as he may threaten witnesses. i've imagined along with chuck todd donald trump standing at the podium during a debate pointing to mike pence and calling him a traitor or a rat. that's the kind of thing that prosecutors charge other defendants, defendants that no one has ever heard of, with witness intimidation. that's how seriously not just state prosecutors but federal prosecutors take the idea of defendants threatening for intimidating witnesses. so when people ask about what cases pose the most threat to donald trump, i might put right near the top not just donald trump's d.c. case but perhaps a greater threat is the potential he may violate that protective order by either potentially threatening a witness or revealing something that he learned in discovery. but i would just add that trump's own legal defense team in the d.c. case was open to a

quote, loser. i think the key thing here, jim, is it's unclear how a judge, if there are charges brought in this case, would try to talk about his social media activity. we know as you just mentioned that in a separate case, the federal case of donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election result she's trying to impose restrictions on his social media activity. i've also spoken with many of donald trump's advisers over the weekend and they tell me that they don't expect him to stop posting on social media. they think that it's his first amendment right to do so and that also it's his most direct way of communicating with voters and that he has the right to defend himself. but the key thing here, is this witness intimidation. will the judge ultimately decide that he can't be issuing these kinds of posts? >> has there been any reaction from the court yet or no? >> in this case it's hard to -- the indictment hasn't been brought. so i think we have to wait and see how the judge in this case, if there is not a diemt, how she would react to these kinds of -- these posts. >> understood.

cnn's elena tureen joins me now. this is after by the way he received a warning from the judge not to do things that might be perceived as witness intimidation. and yet we have a truth social posting today. >> exactly. donald trump is reverting to the playbook we've now seen these three times with the previous indictments that he is facing. he's trying to get ahead of this potential indictment in georgia and frame it in his own terms. and so i think one of the most concerning things people pointed out today about his truth social post is that he attacked directly one of the key witnesses in this georgia case and said, quote, he shouldn't testify. that post reads, "i am reading reports that failed former lieutenant governor of georgia geoff duncan," noting that he spelled geoff's name there, "will be testifying before the fulton county grand jury. he shouldn't. i barely know him but he was right from the beginning of this witch hunt a nasty disaster for those looking into the election fraud case that took place in georgia." he also went on to call him a,

continues then certainly absolutely you could be charged with a criminal offense of tampering with witnesses. and in fact, when you're looking at a racketeering investigation where the prosecutors will be investigating a series of criminal acts, they can also fold witness intimidation into that if that's what they're looking into. >> and as we should note in the case already under way here the judge has explicitly warned trump against this kind of public statement. shannon, i want to ask you a question because one thing several of the key witnesses in this case have in common, whether you're talking about a geoff duncan or brad raffensperger or the governor brian kemp, they're all republicans. and they were pressured by the former president to overturn results of the former election and pushed back and refused and have criticized his activity here. the former president has attempted to portray all this as he often does as a partisan witch hunt, et cetera. in georgia given that many of those involved in this are in fact republicans themselves involved as witnesses against the former president, how is
