Two developments in the last hour should be processed with that fact in mind. First, his sudden decision to cancel a Press Conference. Trump had promised a, quote, conclusive report and he would once and for all be proven right New York Times says its a document of more than 100 pages compiled, at least in part by liz harrington, a Trump Communications aide often described as among the True Believers in his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him through widespread fraud. At least on this one issue, trump appears to have listened to the advice of his lawyers. Abc news reported yesterday, trumps Legal Advisers have told him holding such a Press Conference with dubious claims would only complicate his legal problems. Which wrings us to the second development. An audacious request filed in Court Last Night to push back trumps trial in the federal case regarding his efforts to overturn the 2020 election to april of the year 2026. Yeah. Thats more than five years after the d
to him but to the government. his body man and alleged co-conspirator walt nauta appeared alongside him and also pleaded not guilty. all of it taking place in a city that has been bracing for this unprecedented day, this unprecedented event and as always is the case with donald trump bracing for the potential of violence. officials in atlanta are reportedly keeping a close eye on the security steps taken in miami given the possibility that fulton county district attorney may become the third prosecutor to bring charges against the ex-president. as for the ex-president himself, he has not spoken today, but on his social media site truth social he s been lashing out at the justice department, airing his usual grievances about the justice department and about what he calls a witch-hunt. his heated rhetoric against special counsel jack smith and attorney general merrick garland and the justice department will have no bearing on the legal process, however, judge jonathan goodman r
struggle with the coming late to protecting democracy, coming late to calling a lie a lie, in bill par s case coming late to calling bs, bs. where does in your case showing grace for those people come from? the better late than never slogan or saying is the optimist s way of looking at it. you know, the piss mist i guess that s the optimistic way of looking at it but the pessimistic way was you should have done it from the beginning. right. and the realist part is where i m at. i m mad at you for not doing it earlier but i m glad you did it. that s how democracy works, you re allowed to have different opinions within the law. oppress people as much as you want within the law but once you cross the borderline of breaking the law that s when you take a stand. i guess you re legally right but morally it s still reprehensible
point includes chris christie and bill par has come under attack but no one more viciously as jack smith. right. what does i know enough about the individuals to know that they charge into, you know, the crisis and they pursue the facts with vigor, but what does the institution do to protect itself and protect its own. they put in place people and they put in place processes to make sure that whatever prosecutorial decision needs to happen in a case that it is indisputably guided by the facts and the law. that s what we saw the attorney general do here last november. he got some criticism from people for that, but i think it was the right thing forgiven the facts here, right? you have donald trump who was running for office against joe biden, announced he was doing so, in whose cabinet merrick garland served. so it made sense to use this part of the special counsel regulation to put distance
the other thing you can talk about is we are for securing our elections. that is something that president trump won t talk about because he is so scared that it makes his victory look illegitimate. it is across the board. you said the president days ago saying it is no big deal that north korea is lobbing missiles and you get two or three republicans who will speak out against that. most hope nobody calls me because they don t want to have to give an honest answer. as the new investigation is launched by the attorney general bill par into the origins of the investigation, we just heard the special counsel robert mueller make it clear this was not a witch hunt. this was not a hoax. he says at the very end of his ten minute statement before i step away i want to thank the attorneys, the fbi agents, analysts and professional staff who helped us conduct this investigation in a fair and independent manner. these individuals spent nearly two years with the special
