we talked with, i want to read the evidence that the committee developed tying trump to the fake electors plot. this is from the final report on giuliani and trump s role in setting up the fake base of electors. on december 13th and 14th, trump worked with rudy giuliani on the plan s implementation. on the 13th of december, miller texted some of his colleagues to check in about the fake elector meeting scheduled the following day. he let them know that giuliani told him, quote, potus was aware they were filing legislation in four states, likely a pretext to claim it was still possible for the fake electors to be authorized retroactively. the next day miller sent an email asking if they would issue a press release about electors and he told them the mayor is going to discuss with potus. of all of the elements of the coup plot, the fake electors legwork and the meetings and the
legal criminal accountability for donald trump? i think that criminal accountability for trump and those who participated in this is quite important. you ll recall one of his lawyers, the now really disgraced former mayor of new york, rudy giuliani, came into court in pennsylvania and lied. i told you on your program, we re going to do everything we can do to strip him of his law license. we were successful in that. that s the type of accountability that s important. when you come into court and you lie, you should be held accountable. similarly, if you commit crimes in this country, it s important to note that no one is above the law, not a former president or anyone else. i think it s now the responsibility of these prosecutors, smith and others, to put together the facts and evidence. if they warrant criminal charges, to bring them, regardless of how famous the individual is that those charges would be levied against. that type of accountability is important for all of us to again
and a final point, even though giuliani and eastman s attorneys announce they don t have a target letter yet, it doesn t mean that they won t figure in his unindicted co-conspirators or that smith doesn t have a real possibility of superseding. but he s coming out of the box with the most important and probably the quickest because the court he s bringing it in and the court of appeals over it is used to moving with dispatch and has signaled they re fed up with trump s delay tactics. someone pointed out to me today it is possible that if trump is charged and if it goes to trial, that that trial could very well happen ahead of the documents trial. yeah. look, we ve had the d.c. judges there already have had ooh lot of experience in different procedural kind of emotions where they ve given it pretty close to, increasingly
they were actually called fake electors inside the trump campaign until an email the committee developed as evidence that someone said maybe we should come up with a different name than fake, smiley face, emoji. don t see a lot of those in coup emails, but this one did. then they changed the internal sort of word to alternate electors, going back to kellyanne conway. this was a sort of slow-motion coup they called about. they put trump on the phone. they did this with particular brazenness. glenn, you ve frozen on us. can you hear us? can you hear us? sorry. can you hear me? go ahead, glenn. yes, we have you. i m sorry. okay. go ahead. i mean, a lot of stuff was
submitted or sort of has tweeted about is something i wanted you to expand on for us. this is from the new york times. beneath the scheduling issues was a fascinating philosophical scruggs of the nature of trump as a defendant. it revolved around the question of should trump be treated like any other defendant or did his role as a candidate need to be taken into account. one, expand on that for us. and two, where do you come down on that debate? i think it s also related to some of the reporting that talked about the judge in this case really pressing the defendant s counsel on why this case is complex. under law under the speedy trial act, trials need to occur within 70 days of charging in which a judge makes a decision to exclude certain information certain time, it s justified. what the judge is saying, explain to me why this is complex, to the defendants, give
