trump, he s going to show, we know what he looks like. but i think jack smith is laser focused on moving the case forward on the things that matter and that shows you he doesn t want the evidence getting leaked out. joyce i want to ask you about the speed with which jack spent this pursuing all of this. but i would like to get your thoughts on the idea that the special counsel is worried the disclosure of some of this material may affect an ongoing investigation. does that at all suggest to you that there might be more indictments coming as john i think just suggested, in the mar-a-lago documents case? or do you see that as potential witnesses that are key to both the mar-a-lago and the january six investigation? so prosecutors tend to be very deliberate in their choice of words and what strikes me here is the use of the portal investigations. it suggests that there could be additional cases, they are directly saying that there could be additional defendants.
smith is also seeking to dodge potentially distracting elements to a case focused on concrete evidence about the former president s handling of classified documents, and efforts, to obstruct government efforts to reclaim them. so jack smith trying to keep things focused and moving forward, which also informs emotion that the special counsel filed a few hours ago. a motion for a protective order saying the government is ready to provide unclassified discovery to trump s lawyers. so buckle up. and then there is this little interesting tidbit in that document. the motion protects against unauthorized disclosure of materials because they include information pertaining to ongoing investigations. the disclosure of which could compromise their investigations and identify uncharged individuals. ongoing investigations. i have questions. joining me now to answer them
another attempt to distract from trump s very real legal peril here. by pointing the finger at a democrat. and in this case that democrats congressman adam schiff. the congresswoman who introduced that censure resolution said today that she plans to reintroduce a revised version of it soon even though it failed the first time because why not, just keep trying. and this playbook which we have seen time and time again, in fact we ve seen it multiple times just this week. this playbook is, of course, being used when it comes to trump s indictment in the mar-a-lago documents case. the new york times today tracked every single response to trump s indictment by republicans in the house and senate. more than half of those republicans have made some sort of statement about it. a small number of taking the indictment seriously but the majority of them have not at least 100 of them, the fairness and the timing of the
forward to presenting our case to a jury of citizens in this southern district of florida. from the moment special counsel jack smith announced charges against donald trump he made it very clear that he is aiming for a speedy trial. the first sign of that was during trump s arraignment on tuesday where the special counsel didn t demand any conditions for trump s release. no cash bail, no handing over his passport, no travel restrictions. in other words, mr. trump is basically free to go into whatever as long as he promises to show up for his hearings and doesn t commit any crimes or possibly any other crimes. that decision, not to impose restrictions on the former president who s facing 37 felony counts, that decision surprised a lot of people including the judge overseeing the initial proceedings, judge jonathan goodman. judge goodman actually ended up going against the recommendations of both parties
conscience then you ve been looking at too much that s dirty for the soul. it should feel shocking and disgusting and ugly. what i meant in the report was that it looks that looks like thank goodness for president for clark and the good women, men, and number nary folks in the special litigation units the do thankless work that do this possible that allow us to read this stuff. but also thanks to the men, women, and nonbinary folks in the minutes of a human rights department that did a very similar report and also lead to a negotiated consent to create back in the state back in march. i m glad these kind of things are available to communities that need something like remedy after all of this ugliness. but the thing that strikes me the most is that i m hearing people talk about, well, this is some measure of justice, some measure forward, without considering the scale of the
