andrew weissmann, former fbi general counsel and former chief of the criminal division in the eastern district of new york. he s a professor of nyu law school and co-host of the prosecuting donald trump podcast and the msnbc legal analyst. gwen keyes fleming it s also with us, a former district attorney in dekalb county. and former prosecutor in georgia is joining us again tonight. andrew, let s begin with you, since you have been helping us cover all of these prosecutions of donald trump. it is so uncharacteristic of him to get hit with this indictment own stock all of the previous reactions that he has had to all of the previous indictments and that he just randomly has. now we see the lawyers convincing him or him claiming the lawyers have convinced him to shut up about it on monday. who knows how that really happened. he had nothing to say on monday
that district attorney willis is now prosecuting. he will not speak one word of defense on monday or possibly any other day. donald trump s criminal defense lawyers were all far too weak and unprofessional to get him to stop saying poisonous, racist things about fani willis until she indicted him. and now we see fani willis s indictment has landed on donald trump more heavily than any other indictment of donald trump. fani willis s indictment is the indictment that made donald trump shot up. and so on monday we will not be hearing donald trump s defense to the rico charge he is facing in georgia. we will not hear donald trump s defense to his famous phone call on january 2nd of 2021 to georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger. all i want to do is this.
evidence would be mark meadows, chris crabs, all of doj telling him other than jeff clark wants to lie for him, saying we checked this all out and it s not there. doj says we are not sending a letter to georgia saying it is fraud. so that is totally consistent with the mark meadows statement, but chris krebs statement, and all of that was really strong. it is also interesting that that statement from mark meadows, if he s not cooperating, and i would suggest he probably isn t, given what happened in georgia, means that the feds have that statement from someone else, meaning that they had a witness who says i was there and heard mark meadows say that and, amy i can imagine the trump defense counsel of mark meadows takes the stand in his own defense, vigorously cross examining him about whether he actually said that. the trump defense lawyers would want to say mark meadows is lying when he says donald trump
anyway. this may be temporary. it may all explode tomorrow. but today is a different day for donald trump. i had the exact same reaction. it is the fact that he has for criminal cases that cannot be easy. that has to weigh on you. i think it s something more. of course he wants to try his case in a place where, in the court of public opinion and not in the court of law, where facts and law matter. but there are two big things that are coming up. in the georgia case and in the d.c. case the judge is going to be deciding when is there a trial date. d.c. in particular, that s going to happen on august 28th. when the judge said essentially, you keep doing this it s going to be a factor in why it s going to be sooner. so that s one reason that he may be putting a muzzle, it least temporarily, and the other is, and this is where we have experts on the show better
