manner that would not draw the ire of the court of appeals. her inexperience i think led her to make some very poor decisions there, decisions that ultimately were harshly criticized by the court of appeals. if she does the same here, she s going to get herself and a lot of trouble, given how high the stakes are here. and given the many ways in which you can misstep regarding classified documents. it remains to be seen what she is going to do but i definitely think that if she rules in a way that she can escape any challenged by smith, but smith is aggressive as possible and is going to be looking for opportunity to appeal if she, for example, makes a misstep and engages in the sort of aggressive, advocacy from the bench in trump s favor that she did last time. all right, carol, new topic. in today s addition of a democracy is a fragile thing, the new york times is reporting some very alarming plans that
prosecutors want to get things rolling before the end of the year while trump s attorneys, no surprise, want the trial put off indefinitely until after the 2024 election. it is not clear whether judge cannon will make a ruling on the trial date at tomorrow s hearing. as the ap has pointed out the cases put the judge under a very bright national spotlight, with people closely examining every part of her legal and past rulings in this case. one of the people talking about judge cannon is the defendant himself donald j trump. watch this. do you know has been an indication that the judge will grant this motion? i don t know,, i know it is a very highly respected judge a, smart judge. you appointed her? i am very proud to have
appointed her, she is very smart and very strong and loves our country. i mean loves our country. we need judges that all of our country so that they do the right thing. the hearing is set for two pm eastern tomorrow, just north of miami, florida. meanwhile, donald trump is already making plans for a potential second term. the new york times reports that he and his allies are working on ways, pay attention to this, to expand presidential power and limit the independents of agencies, important ones, like the ftc. that is according to a review of the campaign policy proposals, and interviews with people close to him. when he speaks to his supporters, trump likes to use his criminal indictments to portray himself as a martyr. i want to share a bit of what he said on saturday night at a right-wing event. every time the radical left democrats, marxists, dog communists, and fascists indict me, i consider it to be a great
presidents do around this time, of course, donald trump did a lot of these kinds of major big rallies in the run-up to the midterm election, but what the president is trying to do is use these official white house events to try to crystallize the case to the american people about promises that were made in the last campaign, and promises they ve delivered on, the president making the point that he came to pittsburgh in january, to talk about infrastructure needs this this country. that day, he was scheduled to arrive, a bridge collapsed in the city. and now thanks in part to the infrastructure law, they re able to get that new bridge put in place, ready to run in december, way ahead of schedule. now you mentioned john fetterman, the sitting lieutenant governor, he is not only in the audience there for the president s event, he is wearing a suit. we never see that. but perhaps that s because john fetterman is heading on air force one with the president. that is the kind of perk we haven
is now allowing eastman to go forward with that attorney-client privilege. the january 6th committee is a political body. they don t have charging power. but if a judge is saying hey, i think there there was a crime committed here, where might we see the emails or the evidence pop up next. i know eastman s cell phone was seized by d.o.j. the cell phone was seize the but if you re talking about what the january 6th committee is doing as a whole, with a subpoena, will there be criminal referrals as relates to donald trump and when you talk about this type of evidence and these emails, even as it is a political body, if they are looking to make criminal referrals eventually to merrick garland and the d.o.j., these emails could be very relevant. and so judge carter s ruling in this matter is not at all insignificant. it does matter, because as they re laying this out and putting this together, like ali said, it is another piece, it is another brick in the road. what does it say when
