basically how prosecutors are going to tear down trump s defense piece by piece. that is a devastating blow to the former president. the only time you want to hear someone say the boss is not going to leave is after the third encore of a springsteen concert. making sure that everyone that is involved in the criminal enterprise is held responsible. wow, this is what it s going to look like when his former allies turn against him in a fulton county court of law. it really should influence how we think about the election of 2024. it is bad when trump s own aides confirm the plan was that the boss was not going to leave. remember, he s awaiting a trial for stealing a race because the boss was not going to leave. pretty relevant. the sudden leak had many asking who released the footage be the d.a. criticizing that leak. i m not happy that it was released and you and your colleague got to do your story. they were trying to figure out this week who leaked those vid
on the stand in new york today? so i increasingly feel, and you ll have to let me know at 7:00. i don t have the training to analyze donald trump anymore. i need a psychologist or a psychiatrist. i don t know how much of this was as some of the journalists suggested was performative deflection, and i don t know how much of this is actual holy you know what, they took my toys, right. i think that he cherishes his company more than democracy. i accept the journalism that supports this trial means more to him than some of the federal ones that are to come. i don t have a good enough answer for you about whether it is performance art or an actual meltdown. quickly, i have to ask, we ve got the political lens, and then we ve got the actual legal lens. i m not going to ask about the legal lens. there s tons to talk about that i ll be going over in the next hour. politically, do you think this was a successful strategy for the former president today? i think those are, you kno
the architects of the january 6th coup, he said that i want to travel right away. on october 23rd, fani willis, the prosecutor, says yeah, game on. the judge says, fine, game on. so what this means is that the first january six trial will happen, and it will likely be in georgia and it will likely be just mr. chesbrough, and perhaps for sydney powell who s also asked for a fast trial. but it won t likely involve donald trump or the other 16 defendants that are named in the indictment, but that means that just signal, this stuff is starting to happen, if you are donald, trump you ve got to be very worried. andrews, to pick it up, why should donald trump be worried, what does it mean for his case? so, i think the court of public opinion and the issue of just the legal court. so let s just focus on the court of public opinion. as you mentioned, in your intro,
from. by popular demand, joining me now is who else, but the law firm, is the former acting solicitor general, and andrew weissmann. and i m so thrilled. ellis so, i want to get in as many as possible and sidney powell filed her own request, there also reports that john eastman is asking for the same thing. . what does that mean at trump s case there is the georgia one that you talk about that for trial. to begin on january six of 2024. with respect to this request from ken chesbrough who, is one of the architects of the january 6th coup, he said, i want a trial right away, on october 23rd. fani willis, the prosecutor
