misdirection is the point, and if republicans can actually be successful in trying to success suggest that these two men have done inappropriate things? i don t think so. i don t think it s going to work. they have not produced think of the reams of evidence that is being produced against donald trump. we are talking about indictments on two or three different things. everything from paying off a porn star to defrauding the government out of classified very important national security documents. and lying about having them, and trying to keep them. two false electors to, trying to steal an election, trying to influence the secretary of state, to not do his job. there is a lot of variety of syria, serious stuff. so far on joe biden, they have the tragedy that he has an addicted son that made some very bad choices in his life and a moment when his father was in the public eye, but not
which meant showing that he knew he had lost the election. so to do that, you want to gather bits of evidence from wherever you can. a jury will be instructed along the lines of, because you cannot read another person s mind, you must draw reasonable inferences based on the totality of the circumstances. everything the person, did, everything the person said, everything the person or. so to the extent you can build a wall of evidence with all these different people telling donald trump affair the election was, on security election was. at some point the evidence becomes overwhelming and a jury will be convinced that he absolutely knew he had lost the election. in terms of this case and what you are saying and you re about the american public s right to have a trial before the election. there is a ton of evidence that needs to be plowed through in a potential trial on january 6th, and then there is mar-a-lago, which i have to ask, we have reporting today that there were seven addition
and lying about having them, and trying to keep them. to false electors to, trying to steal an election, trying to influence a secretary of state, to not do his job. there is a lot of variety of serious, serious stuff. so far on joe biden, they have the tragedy that he has an addicted son that made some very bad choices in his life at a moment when his father was in the public eye, but not one scintilla of evidence connecting that to joe biden. and i think most americans get that. i think most independent voters get that. polling shows that. so i think this is a mistake by mccarthy in terms of him winning in the house or helping a republican candidate for president, because ultimately i think this is just about him trying to hold on to power speaker, and he obviously is
within weeks of that meeting, covid-19 was spreading and it was spreading rapidly across the united states. people were staying home for the most part but remember this was an election year. so states across the country started expanding access to mail ballots in order to keep people safe. people could still stay home but they can also exercise that fundamental democratic right. by early march, the republican-led state of ohio is expanding mail-in voting. in april states like new york and kentucky followed suit. and then in april, that same month, president trump suddenly decided that the very same election system he had been praising just weeks earlier, that that same election system could no longer be trusted. they cheat ok? people cheat. mail ballots are very dangerous thing for this country, because they re cheaters. they go and collect them, they re fraudulent in many cases. and trump repeated those claims.
real winner. immediately after the election when trump s own head of cybersecurity, a man called chris krebs said the election was the most secure in american history, trump fired him by tweets within days. but all along it sure seemed like president trump knew that he had lost. he d been briefed months earlier about how secure the election systems were. he wanted to put out a press release about it. and he had admitted privately multiple times to multiple people that he had lost. so we re in the oval office and there s a discussion going on, and the president says, yeah we lost, we need to let that issue go to the next guy. meaning president biden. i remember maybe a week after the election was called, i popped into the oval just to like, give the president headlines and see how he was doing. he was looking at the tv, and
