Surrounding hunter biden and members of the press thinking the first son is being a raw deal. Congress needs to stop investigating a private sen and trying to link President Biden to Hunter Bidens conduct. Hunter biden is being subjected here to a level of not only scrutiny but accountability that most mere mortals would not. Hunter biden could be terrible. Never met him. Is being treated worse than anyone would be. This is the son of the president. Hes not a political officer and doesnt begin to compare to classified documents and to the indictment here in d. C. Hunters attorneys trying to set the narrative on Special Counsel saying nothing new here. No new evidence to be found. The evidence that has been pursued by staff and members of media locking for connection has shown it doesnt exist. If the most people criticizing the biden family is when the president calls his son every day on speakerphone he says hello to the people in the room that is not an offense. Thats a loving father.

Effective, and it is not safe. Thank you very much. That is all in on the thursday night. Alex wagner tonight starts right now. Good evening, alex. Thanks to athome for joining me this hour. This evening, weve got some fairly shocking news. President trump is asking the court to schedule one of his federal criminal trials before the november election, specifically, trump is requesting that maralago classify its documents case to begin on august 12th. That is correct. Donald trump asked for that trial to start just three months before the president ial election. Except, that request may not exactly be what it sounds like. It could very well be a game of 3d chess. It does not sound like something trump placed on that often, but play with me here. Trump pitching that august date could be a way of trying to block the other federal criminal case, the Special Counsels much more serious a federal Election Interference case from going to trial before the election. Yesterday we got that massive
B is august. He has made an immunity argument, the same argument that is made in d. C. One minor difference. He wasnt president. His argument is, but i took the documents while i was president. I have said, that is like a bank robber saying you know, i legally got the gun that i used to rob the bank. Right. I was a customer of the bank when they went in and took the money. Everything is just such an irrelevancy. But hes got judge cannon and so the question is whether judge cannon will sit on that, whether she will grant it, or if she denies it and says but its not a frivolous argument, meaning all of these delays of appeal that we have seen in the d. C. Case, don trump is going to try that, of course. Same road. Back to the Supreme Court. Its much harder factual argument. But, thats not the issue. Just remember, we were all sitting here going, hes arguing that he can order s. E. A. L. Team six to kill a political important opponent and were going as absolutely laughable laughable. A no

Except, that request may not exactly be what it sounds like. It could very well be a game of 3d chess. It does not sound like something trump placed on that often, but play with me here. Trump pitching that august date could be a way of trying to block the other federal criminal case, the Special Counsels much more serious a federal Election Interference case from going to trial before the election. Yesterday we got that massive news, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear trumps argument, that those criminal trials in the d. C. Case should be thrown out because a president ial immunity. But the court did not schedule oral arguments on that case to start until the week of april 20 seconds. Because of that delay, even if the Supreme Court decides this case incredibly quickly, this Election Interference case most likely could no
