because they haven t seen the indictment yet, and they are guessing in just the same way that we are, although, you know, we know that there s going to be a felony count by know it s going to be falsification of business records, and it s really interesting when you look at the legal team that trump has assembled for this case so far, it includes tom blanch, the new lawyer that was brought on he just resigned from elsewhere, and that seemed to be an effort to get a generalist in place there was a response about getting a lawyer who is an expert in campaign finance, but at this point because they just don t know, it looks like the legal team is just bracing for general felony counts. they don t know and we don t know we will see what s inside that indictment around 2:15 eastern time hugo lowell, we appreciate it. what are you expecting today i would be interested in what joe thinks about this. at 2:15, given everything that
might have a claim of inadvertently removing classified documents and having classified documents in their personal possession by the fact that he doesn t make good and make amends and he continues to try to obstruct the government s case so you have this case happening in new york city which one republican operative called the mickey mouse paperwork case, but then you have the classified documents case and how donald trump has taken it possibly to the next level if he hasn t been forthright with investigators. and then from there also you ve got georgia and then e. jean carroll next month while today is a big deal, there s plenty of other legal action to watch with donald trump. and, joe, people i have talked to in trump s orbit in recent days, you know, offer sort of two sides to how they feel about manhattan yes, they think this could be a short-term political benefit for trump, they also acknowledge that of course trump doesn t really want to be indicted, no
you are in good shape. chuck, i m curious if you agree with those on the inside that jonathan lemire has talked to, of course, understanding that we still don t know what da bragg has, everybody has been talking about this indictment being strong or weak, being an embarrassment or being a final call to justice. we have no idea what this is going to be. so we lay that on the table right now, just like we don t know exactly what georgia is going to be but we have an idea. same thing with the documents case still, looking at these things, do you agree with the assessment not only of people inside trump world, but also with a lot of legal analysts that right now he seems from the fact patterns that are laid before us in the media, incomplete, but the fact patterns laid before us in the media and the law in these jurisdictions, relevant jurisdictions, that the georgia case and the documents case, particularly on the obstruction of returning the documents, seem
history and can t project out forward. at the same time, mika, again, in this country no man is above the law and so those are the two things that we balance not only in this case, but in georgia, in the documents case and in the january 6th case. so we have a lot more other news to cover. still ahead on morning joe in the ongoing clash between florida governor ron desantis and one of the state s largest employers, disney. the company is fighting back we will have the new comments from disney s chief executive. plus, there is a ton of states today and wisconsin s supreme court election we will have a live report from that battleground state as voters head to the polls today. and in a major blow to russian president vladimir putin, finland is set to become the 31st member of nato. admiral james stavridis will be in to weigh in on that historic
to become president, what does that mean for america s relationship with its allies for yet another term in. for sure. all right there are questions about how consequential this is, and they re truly fair it is a balance in terms of covering it because it has to be covered. it s history happening and also as was pointed out, everyone s looking at that this will mean what could also be interesting, and it s possible right we don t know, but this former president, this may not be his first indictment. this former president might be facing multiple indictments, and i would just sort of sear in the seal that has been broken by indicting a former president. yep, i agree. i think you re right i think this may be the first of several indictments. we don t know, but mike barnacle obviously, there have been a lot of people that have expressed concerns with the outlines of this case, whether bragg should have brought this case, d.a. bragg should have brought this
