the first is those do work in tandem because what you have is donald trump saying i will do anything which is like outrageous out to here. then you have the techno crats who say we will only go this far. so he sets outer bounds of outrageousness and they set a bounds that would have been outrageous unto itself but seems quite within the bounds of normal given that they re not, you know, insurrection. on the trump sentencing i want to add one thing. i think the judge will be smart and i think he will ignore the attacks. he is not going to say because you attacked the judge, i am going to increase your sentence. i think this is where contempt citations will come back into play and attacks on the judicial system as a whole. the judge is there to uphold rule of law and see whether he is remorseful of his cop duct. he will take the things donald trump that violated gag orders,
been set by judge marchan in the case in manhattan. and jack smith has said that he will bring an indictment for the 2020 interference case, and so if that documents case slips, he is going to be pushing for that case to go before, likely, before the republican convention in july 2024. so, i do think that we will see a serious effort, and at least two criminal trials of donald trump, and totally unprecedented in a political season. norm, with so many cases, and with more looming investigations
of course, with fulton county, and still what is going to happen with the election interference grand jury, and help me to understand what is taking place with the calendar, and does one court defer to another, and how does that, works because the timing is curious to a lot of people. well, there is no formal coordination, and these are four completely different courts, assuming that the two cases that are on file are joined by the federal and state cases that seem to be looming for the 2020 alleged election interference, but what will happen that there is a little bit of first in/first out. judge marchan in manhattan can go, and then we will see the jack smith election interference
what it is yes to kind of push a narrative, it seems especially ahead of a 2024 presidential election and which the man tha was an ace and guided is a front runner for getting republican nomination. let s talk about a potential gag order here, right? i kind of got into it a little bit with joe tacopina outsid of the courthouse after th indictment of the former president, asking him of cours about one of those now notorious b.i.g. truth socia of the former president sent out holding the baseball bat next to a manhattan da s head. and we know that judge marchan admonished, warren the forme president about some of th post that he has been puttin out and the threats of it bein made against the manhattan da, about the judge himself an others emits this indictment right? now that we are hearing more and more reports on how th former president is no stopping, what do you make o the potential of merchan
the defense of former presiden trump. even before they know what charges he is facing florida governor, ron desantis and representative marjori taylor greene have sharpened attacks against manhattan da alvin bragg. the former president himself took aim at judge marchan, who is presiding over the case saying the judge quote unquote hates me mccarthy calling on congress t launch their own investigation into d a break three high the republicans als sent a - to brag about the inquiry last week the fda has pushed back agains the demand calling it unlawful and to new york sovereignty. join me now is deborah ross, she is a democrat from north carolina, not illinois congresswoman, first let s start with your reaction to th indictment of former president trump. and frankly, the reaction from the republican colleagues? good evening to you
