that they re trying to make it look like mr. chesebro wants his speedy trial rights when, in fact, i m sure he s been put up to it by the other defendants. they all talk. they all have i m sure they have a joint defense agreement. and this is not something that was dreamed out of thin air. no, but it s important because you re teaching us. you re reminding people how there s more than one reason why you do it. when someone says, oh, here s my motion for speed, their motion might be really for, i hope they fail and we get bailed out. i really appreciate you being our leadoff guest. jason johnson calling it in and sharing some of his concerns as well as what we take from this big week. thanks to both of you guys. governor howard dean is here tonight. we also have the trump arrest highlighting disparities in the jail system. something we want to make sure to focus on. but first, why some defendants are blaming trump. we have that when we re back in just 60 seconds.
so, your codefendant in this important case in fulton county s a fund-raiser for it? and there is also the bond agreement that you cannot actually talk about the facts of the case? is this going to make you nervous? as a defense attorney, makes me very nervous. as a prosecutor salivating. i knew it! i knew it water go ahead. the reason is this. you go to trial and what is a jury going to hear? they are going to hear that all of these people sitting together at the table are being funded by the league guy, donald trump. and there is probably going to be a joint defense agreement, which can be inquired upon, and then cross-examination. so, these fundraising activities in the joint defense agreements, they are good for the defendants to some point. but when you get to trial, and where the rubber meets the road in front of the jury, they are big negatives for the defense, potentially. real quick, andy mccabe,
he s saying something different about being asked to erase security camera footage. when trump was paying your legal fees, how did that work? how did you interpret what was expected of you, and how bad do you think that this is for trump? well, when he was paying the legal fees directly resulting from my work at the trump organization, we were part of what s called a joint defense agreement. once he decided to stop doing that and really put the pressure on, the joint defense agreement was now over, and it gave me every reason in the world to provide all the information, truthful information, to the prosecutors, which, as we ve seen, has been used by many different agencies. this is a very bad issue for donald that you have this gentleman, mr. taveras, the i.t. guy. finally, there s one smart guy out of the whole group who
