Office. What any of that portends is anyones guess at this hour. We have eyes on entrances and exits of that courthouse. Journalists there standing by and a few trained ears to the ground. As soon as we know something, anything at all, we will let you know. We should know today marks two weeks since donald trump announced that he had received a Target Letter in this case. It suggests he could be charged with Conspiracy To Defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct the january 6th session of congress, and depriving voters of their rights. Here with me are my guests. First, lets bring in justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian, who has been following all this for us today. Ken, bring us up to speed for what we do know at this hour. Reporter greetings from the department of justice, where we are not so patiently waiting for news that explains the developments you just laid out. There are a lot of uncertainties around this process, because this is two weeks to the day si
so donald trump s best case indictment scenario might be something so big that a jury balks at it, the fact that he mentioned the proud boys doesn t mean they hang him on that. versus a very precise, even narrow set of charges on these democracy issues that attach him to the paper trail. that might be the worst thing for defendant trump. it s so important that the prosecutor simplifies. from the target letter, there was this statute that was enacted during the civil war to provide tewells for federal agents to go after groups like the kkk who engaged in terrorism. again, that was from the target letter we referenced. so somebody who may have been watching this, how is this civil rights issue coming up in the middle of an attempt to overturn the election, walk us through that legal rational. it s what i will be looking for after mark meadows.
