One is first of all, to some degree this has already been a victory for donald trump because this has delayed the start of the trial by jack smith and as a result has put him in the middle of a political campaign. We have a highly divisive electorate, highly divided with republicans on one side, democrats on the other cheering for their respective squads and as a result, it has energized president trumps base. The campaign reported that they had raised nearly 6 million over a fiveday period leading up to this weeks event. There has already been a victory for him in this. My suspicion is the Biden White House is saying we want him to be held to some level of responsibility for actions that he took while in office but not as the president of the United States. But on the other hand he also like the fact that they are out there able to campaign whether as an explicitly political candidate or campaign as the president in his official capacity and talk about the things they want to talk abo

get the supreme court to toss out the votes in several swing states. just so we understand him. i want to play for you one of the arguments here. because judge henderson, one of the three judges, asked whether or not the oath the president takes to insure the laws are faithfully executed applies to this president. i think it s paradoxical to say that his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed allows him to violate criminal laws. now, we re at the motion to dismiss stage. the government has charged the specific criminal laws. we have to assume they re true. my response to that i think would be to emphasis what they said in marbury. this gentleman also clerked
assume they are true, and that naturally but i thought you agreed with me that we have gotten beyond marbury. so that wasn t the exact sound bite, but that was another point that stood out to us that we heard from judge henderson, just this idea if he is trying to protect the laws, can he break laws in those actions? it just describes a little bit of the lack of common sense in the argument that we are hearing from john sour. i want to go to ken dilanian outside of the courtroom, and what is top of mind for you after listening to the arguments today? first of all, ana, i was struck by the fact that this hearing was much shorter than the one on the gag order in this case, which suggested that there
