privilege. so it makes no sense to me why he s there, but he apparently is there. try to get clarification of exactly what his role, if any, is there in the courtroom. i was going to say, the weird thing about kind of trump s orbit, though, is he has these people that are in, and then they get kicked out. some big, bright fashion. then they re kind of back in again. though one s ever out forever. right. so if he s there for donald trump, it wouldn t surprise me. it would be like one of these we have a toxic thing, but now you re here. it s the weirdest interaction of a group of people i ve ever seen. the former president has pleaded not guilty to the charges that he is facing. no surprise there. that s the latest. anderson, the word people keep usings appropriately is mundane. there s a mundanity to the process. not used in the pejorative sense, and it is. what we re doing in this process, first of all, we re starting the criminal justice process. second of all, we are fo

come people tolerate this from this party? i don t know if you re a democrat or republican i ve had you know our friend alan dershowitz on and he makes it clear. look, i m a democrat. but i m a liberal. not one of these guys. i m not one of these crazy guys. but the problem is joe biden is i don t want to hear any more about him being a moderate. he s the most aggressively. tyrannical president. in my view, ever your thoughts can t emphasize enough how important what you re saying is about the first amendment and how it s being abused so badly here. we talked about the damage that these kinds of tactics cause and what we ought to talk about , also is the chilling effect. it has what we don t even see about those people who are stopped from speaking freely because of the weaponization of the criminal justice process. people are afraid to lose their licenses to lose their freedom because they speak out on a position that simply unpopular with the current administration
and his allies have been quick to label. thursday s indictment is nothing more than a baseless political witch hunt. by democrats but as cnn senior legal legal analyst aly aly hoenig explains, and indictment is a serious matter, and trump has no control over what happens next. take a listen. donald trump is about to get a cold slap of reality here because over the years he has seen many people around him get indicted, and, in some instances, actually sent to prison. allen weisberg, michael cohen, paul manafort, yet he s always seemed to sort of dodged between the raindrops . but this is the criminal justice process. this is different. there s no amount of politicking. it doesn t matter what the count is in the senate between republicans and democrats, it doesn t matter what people tweet you cannot influence. this process is ultimately will come down to what happens in that courtroom. 12 jurors one defendant table of prosecutors, and if they find him guilty, he s going to be a convicted
lean into the spectacle when it happens because i fully anticipate he s going to do that. but two things can be true at once and one is that he will. he will advantage whatever card he s got. and he can still be afraid of this. anderson i think donald trump is about to get a cold slap of reality here because over the years he has seen many people around him get indicted, and, in some instances , actually sent to prison. allen weisberg, michael cohen, paul manafort, yet he s always seemed to sort of dodged between the raindrops. but this is the criminal justice process. this is different. there s no amount of politicking. it doesn t matter what the count is in the senate between republicans and democrats. it doesn t matter what people tweet. you cannot influence this process that ultimately will come down to what happens in that courtroom. 12 jurors one defendant table of prosecutors, and if they find him guilty, he s going to be a convicted felon, and there s just no dodging it. so thi
