when you stream on the xfinity 10g network. before we get to donald trump s fourth indictment, this one out of georgia. the case is strong and sprawling. it runs 8 pages and evidence and
charges are relatively an dine, and some of the charges of conduct would not arise to a felony, in te aggregate it becomes in a way they become a much larger case with the mafia or mob or street gangs. that s the broader claim being made here. in a trial, this could be unwieldy. jurors could have a hard time keeping track of the details and that s a 19-person indictment. it could be unwieldy, but in terms of playing to the public for this stage of the case, it is incredibly effective. yeah. and edward, in conclusion, i got about 40 seconds, when i showed the trump spokesperson. we gave her time, we were trying to understand in late november what she was doing the
i think it would be strong evidence and the fact that it makes the strength of the evidence is the fact that they included the rico count, which allows them to take what would normally be a small stream of evidence and expand to it include activities, as you indicated earlier in your lead-in that may not even be chargeable if they were standing alone. so i think the evidence is extremely strong and will allow the prosecutor to present the complete picture of what happened. could you elaborate on that point? i tried to draw the distinction. i expect we ll hear more about it from the detractor in the case. the defendants are innocent. they have every right to make their defense and criticism of what s in there. but as i told viewers, i think it s fair to say not only this d.a. but most prosecutors would not charge a bunch of calls even as i mentioned, outlandish or bananas called to officials
it creates a runway for him to take off from to, say that in fact they didn t accept it because they didn t believe it. now, you and i talked about this before. the question is, is that belief reasonable? and certainly it is not in the face of so much evidence, you know, when you hear from the attorney general of the united states saying there s nothing to be found or when you hear about all the different judges who have rejected the claims of voter fraud. and when raffensperger, the secretary of state in georgia told him outright. so it s not a reasonable belief, but i don t think it s a big issue, but it kind of bugged me that it was in there in that opening paragraph. but other than that i think it s well done. i think the other thing, too, is the fact that important thing here is that the conspirators in the smith indictment are named as defendants in this case. so a couple things that means to me. one, does that mean that that forecloses the possibility of them cooperating with ja
they pool their money we can charge them all as one criminal conspiracy. charge them with what? in a rico case if you can charge one you can charge them all. got it. that is different than how many criminal statutes work. it started as a federal law, and now different states have their own versions. what i m about to walk you through is why donald trump is more likely to end up in an unpardonable, unreviewable prison sentence than he was yesterday morning. the law was first designed to go after the mafia. over the decades prosecutors expanded it as a powerful tool for any enterprise. here s the fulton county d.a. last night explaining all of it. rather than abide by georgia s legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal
