Its all political, and i think that in the end that that ends up hurting joe biden and helping donald trump. John jonathan turley, to the point that a lot of democrats are making here, this was a clearly partisan report, that hur was only out to get biden, trying to shred his credibility. He said in his Opening Statement that he had to, because of doj guidelines, present this report to the Attorney General on his decision not to charge. He said i knew from my decision to be credible, i could not simply announce i recommended no criminal charges and leave it at that, i needed to explain why, show my work as he said. Put that into context for us legally. Did he have to go into this level of detail . Because its the part of this that is real ticked off the white house and set democrats aflame is his idea that joe biden is a kindly old gentleman with a bad memory, and that of course brings up the entire conversation about whether or not he can continue to be president now let alone for ano
Will the support in the party continue to grow. The fake charges put forth by Thet Biden Sham indictment, i would assume hes mentally ill. Will his top rivals rally around him or start to attack and can our democracy survive this challenge . My guests this morning, john lura and jamie raskin, a member of the january 6th attorney and the former lead january 6th impeachment manager. Joining me for insight and be analysis are hallie jackson, peter baker, republican strategist al cardenes and Kimberly Atkins stohr. Welcome to sunday. Its Meet The Press. Announcer from nbc news washington, the longest running show in television history, this is Meet The Press with chuck todd. Good sunday morning. Voters next fall may be faced with an unprecedented choice, whether to put former President Donald Trump back into the white house or to essentially sign off on his sentencing if he is convicted and send him to a prison or a Secret Service protected home. The latest indictment accuses trump to defr
He never said and no, that is wrong. That is wrong. A Technical Violation Of The Constitution is not a violation of criminal law. Later on this hour, im going to speak with congresswoman Elaine Elmore about trumps indictment, efforts by her house aop but i will talk to former Ohio Republican governor John Case Ick about the struggle trumps liables are having in taking on the front runner directly, including the just mentioned mike pence. You can say right here that you will rule out voting for donald trump again for president . I will tell you, i dont think we will have to make that decision. But you do. Im confident i will be able to support the republican omni, especially if it is me. We are also keeping an eye on that major flooding in juneau, alaska, that has produced scenes like this one. And then a story of triumph. Simone biles returning to competition in a very big way. That story is coming up later on this hour as. Well we begin, though, with an Election Interference Case agai
This is insane. The defendant cant be granted even a few words . The third indictment of donald trump is the one much in the media has been eagerly awaiting because they feel it vindicates their reporting on the 2020 election and that doesnt mean trump will be found guilty not at all but there is a sense that democracy is at stake, that we finally gotten to the heart of the matter. Did the former president break the law and constantly charging the last election was stolen. The crux of the case is not whether trump caused january 6. That be impossible to prove but whether he knowingly lied about the rigged election. The indictment says, donald trump spread lies, the claims were false and the defendant knew they were false but his team says otherwise, and that trump believes what hes been saying. Even though members of his inner circle say they told him he lost and here is what trump said after pleading not guilty. This is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to
Indicted for you. With gop voters have second thoughts about making him their nominee. Plus inside of his legal strategy. Weve never had a situation where a spirited debate about the constitution has become a criminal case. Is that trumps strongest defense . And will a federal judge punish him for a threatening post on social media . I dont think this judge or this prosecutor are going to tolerate that. And President Biden is running for reelection on a strong economy. Bidenomics is restoring the american dream. Could he convince voters that his plans are working . Welcome to inside politics sunday, im abby phillips. As Donald Trumps legal peril grows so does his anger at everyone he holds responsible. Last night he unleashed his fury on President Biden an the Special Counsel. Were kicking bidens ass, and that is the problem. And if i wasnt, if i wasnt, we wouldnt be under investigation by der ranged jack smith. Forces put forward by the sham, the sham indictment. And i believe hes men
