deceive. i think this is a very strong case. and so, barb, there is an indication from assistant special counsel jay brat that this case will take 21 days for the parties to try, and winning that from the indictment itself. let s talk about a timeline, because people want to know when this case is going to get to a jury trial, giving a bit of grace here or there for some type of delays. when you think we can reasonably anticipate seeing a jury trial in this particular case? well, you know, katie, some cases are incredibly complex and take a long time to litigate and get through discovery reviewed and motions. this case really isn t all that complex. it s about the retention of documents and lies about it. and so, the universe of discovery material is not all that vast. i imagine the next thing that happens is the trump team gets all that discovery, they get a chance to file motions, and they will. they will file every motion under the sun. selective prosecution, all kind
appear, you know, to be if there s going to be a search, you know, that they won t be where they think they will be looking. so calculated stories, what to say, calculated lies, what if we say this. i mean, they have built the obstruction piece around the underlying crime here. also trump changes his summer plans and his summer travel plans in order to be at mar-a-lago when his own attorneys are coming. but he also takes documents with him on his summer to follow that, though, right after that happened the 24-second phone call, that s june 3rd which we knew about was when jay brat and the other doj officials went to mar-a-lago, they are in the dining room with evan corcoran and christina bob, christina bob is the one who signed the certification even though she hadn t done the search and trump comes by. we found out about this when the search happened in august, trump stopped by that meeting between his attorneys and doj officials to say that he was an open book. that comes aft
national defense never appears. this law applies to, as you know, any record. any record. okay? whoever, knowingly conceals, covers up, in any record document, or document, with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence an investigation. and that is what they believe they have in donald trump s desk with his full 110% knowledge that it s in his desk. because because they served a subpoena. you know. you were there. you are on the team. you were there the day they got that subpoena. you get a subpoena. you guys get the subpoena, it says, give us everything. and as we all know, the fbi and jay brat, from the justice department, come down from the legal team, you hand them this legal team that says we are going to
again, that could happen, including any charges against the lower tier people who might have been involved with the obstruction track of this case as we are looking at sort of two tracks that jack smith has narrowed the mar-a-lago case down to which is the classification issues, did trump willfully, knowingly retain classified information and then the various pressure points of obstruction along the way. so i think i will be watching sort of these, you know these supporting actors and characters in the meantime, but all signs point to a decision coming imminently and we ve been told that trump advisers are expecting that as well and that the meeting yesterday which was sort of a front for them at least for raising grievances with jay brat and jack smith for some of their more aggressive tactics in terms of obtaining evidence and waiving attorney/client privilege and
of january six why was this fellow, the person in the room, on the trump investigation? this would not, to me, that is not who i would be assigning to this matter because there s a lack of sort of trustworthy -ness, and there s all sorts of reasons why the fbi may been asleep at the switch on january six. it goes to a lot of the things that you know, outlined so cogently of what could be going on. so this really just a larger picture here about the fbi s behavior on this case, and on a larger case. so neil, document gets appointed a special prosecutor, special counsel in this case. i would have to assume that s one of his first discussions s with j brat, and early in those discussions, i would expect jay brat to lay out who, by name, has been helpful in this investigation, and who by name has been wronged. which special agents were
