we know that harvey weinstein s convention was overturned. a lot of evidence was a highly prejudicial. certainly, the stormy daniels testimony and the testimony from david pecker wasn t really pertinent to necessarily stormy daniels. the issue as far as the money that was given over. her s testimony went way beyond the business record record. this is what this case was about. then you have a conspiracy that was argued which was not charged, you have a menu of three different crimes that the jury could pick from, and they didn t have to agree on which crime they would rely on. you have a law which was incredibly novel as to the way it was used. it s never been used that sway. the actual charges were time barred, but because of machinations relating to how they took this up, they brought this into court. so there are a lot of questions here, and of course you have thejudge, questions here, and of course you have the judge, whether he was biased, whether that affected the jury,
department that they could not find any such records in their possession. meanwhile, in georgia, fulton county dhs investigation into trump s alleged efforts to subvert the 2020 election maybe more sprawling that in initially appear. the washington post reports that the georgia probe has now broadened to include activities in d.c. and other states, signaling that prosecutors maybe building a wide ranging case under georgia s racketeering laws. joining me now, msnbc legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, glenn kirschner. he is also host of the justice matters broadcast. glenn, thank you for coming back to the saturday show. okay, first, this document. is reporting, now, i just said, trump s lawyers can t find it. if they can t find it, does that mean that this case is going to crumble? no, depending on what the evidence shows, prosecutors will have an opportunity to
portray it appropriately as incriminating. if they find it, they found it, and it s a classified documents. donald trump should not have taken with him when he left the white house, and he should not have been referring to it, waving it around, talking about its contents with people who had no security clearance. they didn t get to know one word of what was in that document he was waving around. if they have, it is incriminating. if they don t have it, and donald trump was referring to it and said it s classified, i can t show it to you, what did he do is it? did he destroy it? is he still hiding it? did he sell it, disseminated to somebody? if the story goes one way based on the evidence, it s incriminating. it s a story goes the other way, it may actually be more incriminating. we even talking about a classified documents is a problem.
how significant is it that there is an audio recording of what we re talking about? it s huge, jonathan. i tried wiretap cases and the federal courthouse, three blocks away, rico cases, in fact. when you can present to the jury the crime being committed, or being discussed by the very person on trial who s sitting across the courtroom from the jury, it s evidentiary gold and most importantly, when you can take to audio recordings, or two videos, won with donald trump saying a declassified everything with my mind was, or it was automatic declassified when i took it with me from the white house, and you can immediately thereafter play an audio recording of him six months after leaving the presidency saying, i d like to show this to you, but it s classified. jurors get the point. the, it might feel good that donald trump in the moment, saying these things on full news that works or in town
