are in the works. trump and his allies are reportedly, they want to toss out this idea that we have three separate but equal branches of government and move things to make the oval office way more powerful, looking a lot more like an autocracy. what do you think about this? not really a surprise. that was some really good reporting but one of the reporters on that story broke something very similar when he worked at another institution looking at how the trump campaign was clawing for a second presidency and how certain institutions would be rendered sort of meek poppies that the executive office would rule over. they would have the iron fist. and, you know, i hate to say the staff but this is a vision that many conservative republicans have in which career bureaucrats are spat upon as long s who are part of this deep state, maybe liberal -leaning, progressive-leaning, they do not trust those bureaucrats who base their decisions on facts, science, and protocol. using agencies who are
the important thing to keep in mind is that the state cases are going to be hard for trump to control. there is really a multiplier effect here. when your defendant is facing criminal charges and multiple fronts and jurisdictions it becomes harder to manage all of that, it becomes harder to defend against all of that, and ultimately at all of these states. for example in georgia there is a board, where the governor cannot even be the one to pardon economic rely on brian kemp to do that in michigan and of course you have a democratic governor, in arizona you have a democratic governor. there may be other avenues for the prosecution that donald trump has to be concerned about. at two pm tomorrow we will all, certainly, be watching. kyle cheney, carolyn, renato mariotti, thank you for starting us off tonight. when we come back, joe manchin get close see, at least publicly, feeling fears of a possible third party presidential spoiler. and later, it features the cash flow crisis. kara f
documents are going to be handled in this case. how discovery is going to be reviewed by the defense, she is certainly going to lay out, for example, a schedule for how the discovery is going to be reviewed and, ultimately, any motions that are going to be filed. you can expect some very sharp disagreements in this hearing. the government, the prosecutors here, jack smith and his team are doing everything possible to try to push this case forward quickly. as you suggested, they re even suggesting that a trial could happen this year. that will not happen, but i do think they will be sharp disagreements. ultimately the defense is going to try to not only push for that trial date, but they are also going to suggest that there is all sorts of discovery that they want from the government, that the government has not contemplated, further complicating matters and trying to insert delay into the proceedings. could donald trump get his wish for not a end this trial
