chances of a unanimous conviction are 10 to 15%. i think your analysis is spot on. i think that the case is, in many ways, stale at this juncture. this trial legally is very weak. i don t think there is anybody in america who thinks this is a seriously strong case. alvin bragg is now sweating more than usual. his pathetically weak case against former president trump has totally imploded. we are talking about a case that the feds, my former office across the street in new york reviewed two years ago and said, no thanks. we pass. new york city, the manhattan case involving bragg and the hush payments is the weakest criminal case i have seen in 60 years of practicing criminal law. the case was actually strong enough to win.
one way or the other, didn t make a declination, didn t say it is over, and didn t charge, just kind of left office leaving it pending. there was criticism for that. da bragg had to come into that gray area. he took over. indictment was, at that time, considered unlikely. you live through this, you follow the news. a lot of people said given jim sixth and the classified documents case and all the energy around those things heating up, there wasn t necessarily a view that the 2015 campaign crime should go persecuted or at all. when the da did bring charges, there were many who did downplay them. at least in my judgment of all the cases, this is the weakest one substantively. this is a very weak case. this is the wrong case at the wrong time. as a matter of law, these charges are the weakest.
the campaign season as much as anyone else. it really is a time you say, the history, mccarthyism, autocratic challenges, anything we ve had, ask anyone from a marginalized community, ask minorities and women how the system has to update with morays and legal equality. it is beating back his effort to exempt himself. douglas and molly, appreciate you kicking us off on our special. i want to tell folks what is coming up. as you may have seen on your screen, bob woodward is our special guest tonight. he has not done any programs recently, but he is our special guest tonight. you will hear from bob woodward, the watergate icon, the conviction nixon never got because of his pardon. next, my breakdown on how da alvin bragg beat donald trump. that is up next. next.
