because the court of appeals heard a major concession, see what i did there, from the lawyer from a former president who has refused to concede that he lost the election, and he did lose that election. before today trump s lawyers were absolutely, what s the word, adamant, totally convinced that the president has absolute immunity from trump s conduct while of course he was in office. they wouldn t even budge on this point. well, first they wouldn t budge. right out of the gate with question from one of the judges in the federal court, they were forced to make a powerful concession, that of course there is not absolute immunity meaning, you can never charge a former president for action taken while in office, if it was criminal or otherwise? they could see that you can prosecute under certain circumstances. and they only admitted that after the judge gave them a whole string of hypotheticals, there s only one legitimate truthful answer could a president who ordered sealed
after he lost an election, that his lawyers were forced to back away from the kind of reasonable common sense answers, and defend a completely untenable position, because only by distorting law can you justify, what donald trump is alleged to have done and what i believe there is strong proof of so they couldn t take a reasonable position because if they had it would result in a concession when they get back to the district court and they get in front of the trial judge and ultimately the george-y. look gentlemen, i will take at both under review. i love being called your honor, thank you both it s been a pleasure. you heard donald trump lawyer say that could open what, pandora s box. but isn t the box already open? i will talk to a democratic congressman about what the political consequences, of all
big, big numbers. the people of that district wanted him in washington when he was a member of congress. what to my mind looked like serious corruption allegations made against him during his confirmation process to be health secretary, had to complicate the view of him in that district at all. is that an issue for you at all? well, very candidly. you ve got to put the politics aside. when it comes to matters of public integrity, if any official of the federal government, no matter their party or position, you know, if there are reasons to believe there may have been some form of impropriety, the facts need to be fully investigated. jon ossoff with george y s sixth congressional district, thank you for being with us. thanks, rachel. stay with us. we ll be right back.
