Monitoring and partnering with them on what they do and you mentioned my prior rol at doj, when i was head of the office of justice programs what we did was partner with a civil rights division an partnered with the cops office which is conducting the memphi investigation to help them provide the resources that communities need so, the first part was identifying what the recommendations are. the second part is to help the implement those recommendations, and we need resources, not jus money, but technical assistance they need experts to help them get there and tracy and that center for policing equity are people who help partner with communities to make thes necessary changes, asked u john jay and dr. keesee, what do you hope comes out of doj probe of the memphis police department? well, i think karol mentioned it, and it i sustained change so, we cannot just do this and hope it is only for a shor time
Which one poses the bigger legal threats to trump i think the biggest legal threats, ultimately, is stil the federal cases that jac smith are looking at i think that those are the big things he has to be concerne with if only because of the enormou resources that the doj at th fbi have to conduct a much mor thorough and much more complet investigation. i think if you re talking from a time spot, a time perspective, a temporal scope, you have t be most concerned abou manhattan. because alvin bragg, apparently has jumped aligne with this announcement aroun this grand jury presentation this may be happening much mor quickly than everything else but it s not necessarily the strongest or the mos problematic issue he has on hi hands. i have i were his attorneys, i m concerned about brett, but i m keeping my eye very closel on jack smith. not only at mar-a-lago, but of course, around january six a well another case that poppe back up in the news is e. jean carroll s case of defamation
