walk us through this very crowded calendar, ken. yeah, at this point, chris, donald trump s most important legal strategy is to seek delays in all of these cases any way he can because if he s elected president, it s possible that none of them can move forward. he could order his justice department to drop the federal cases, and it s official doj policy that a sitting president can t be prosecuted and that would include state cases. in the atlanta case, he s making clear that he will try to slow things down. his lawyer filed a motion telling the judge that mr. trump wants no part of the bid by one of his codefendants to have the trial in october. he will ask to sever his case from that defendant, kenneth chesebro and any other defendant who makes such a demand. given the number of defendants in the atlanta case it may take a while to get that one to trial, especially because it will be competing against three other cases against mr. trump, all of which have a head start.

time that trump s lawyers are assuring people like judge chutkan that he s going to cool it with the social media and campaign rally attacks on potential witnesses, trump s political advisers are using that as red meat for trump s base, despite the legal jeopardy that creates for trump, and chris, judge chutkan has been the strictest of any of trump s judges, in terms of threatening sanctions, including the possibility of moving up his trial date if he violates the orders not to talk about other witnesses, not to intimidate people. we ll know on monday about when judge chutkan will set for trial. as you well know in atlanta, there is still one codefendant who is in jail because he wasn t able to raise the money for bond. you also have reporting about rudy giuliani s financial situation, and he put his apartment on the market?
agree with what john bolton says in the video that you just had, and that is that trump does not do things like this by accident. i would bet that he has been spending a lot of time in front of a mirror. maybe even on that plane that flew down from newark to atlanta before he went to fulton county jail. and, you know, everything is for a purpose. he felt that this look on his face would help him raise money. it makes him look beleagued and angry, and a tough guy. this is a guy who has said in recent months to his crowds, i am your retribution who has said on social media, you come after me, i will come after you. this all goes together. so, if trump is trying to intimidate, you know, a judge or a district attorney or members of the grand jury or others or politicians who might fly way from his support, the best way, just given the wait his mind
