phone call where trump asks him to find votes. mark meadows is on that call. this georgia state investigator, frances watson, who is another person who mark meadows directly sort of dealt with, interacted with, texted with about trying to look for new votes and to take another look at the election in georgia. so it s really going to be sort of a preview of, i think, the determinative issue at trial tomorrow. carrie, meadows is not the only defendant to ask for their case to be moved to federal court. david schaefer and kathy latham, who served as a fake elector, both filed similar notices. they claim they were just acting at trump s direction. do any of these defendants have a chance, and what do we make of what s going to happen with this case with all of these defendants ping-ponging in different directions, wanting different things. it sounds like it could be chaotic. there certainly are a lot of different moving parts because
great to talk to you. i m a little exhausted just reading that introduction about everything donald trump will be going through, i suppose, over the next several months. and i guess that leads me to this question. and that is how chaotic is this legal process going to get? if you have all these cases, and especially in georgia, all. these co-defendants ping ponging in different directions. maybe think of 20-car nascar pile-up. it s really true. the cases have to go forward. and with the four criminal ones, there are several civil ones, including the one where the judge said i m not moving. so something will have to give but we re not exactly sure what and when. what is going on with kenneth cheseboro? his case is set to go to court on october 23rd. that s the date fani willis wants for all the defendants. he seems to want to speed things
things i need to be reviewed before then, that there is a significant volume of documents here. both of that makes sense. the judge has to decide what really is due process here, what amount of time is reasonable by balancing both the defendant s need to have reasonable preparation but also the governmen s right to protect the public interest in the speedy trial. yeah. when we talk about the trial, whenever it scheduled market, the reality is that journalists, americans, other candidates are going to be witnessing the strangest split screen probably in american political history. which is, do we have the calendar? we have the iowa caucus is on the 15th of january, you have trump civil defamation case the same day, trump civil fraud case two weeks later, the month of march is peppered with caucuses and trials. i mean, this is election season 2024 is going to be, and it truly is unlike anything we have ever seen in this country. the fact that the presumed front runner is going to be bo
anything we have ever seen in this country, the fact the presumed front-runner is going to be bouncing back, ping-ponging between you know, pressing the flesh in iowa and new hampshire and nevada and south carolina and going on trial. this seems like the reality we re barrelling towards. yeah, you know, it does make your head explode in some ways. what i m actually curious about is whether donald trump actually welcomes this. obviously no one wants to be indicted four times on however many counts. this is not an enviable position to be in, but when you re someone as pathological as donald trump is and feeds on the attention as much as he does and someone who s been so successful in leveraging attention like this, in some cases very negative attention into political capital, you have to wonder could he be so happy he s going to be in the middle of all this, and yes, it s a split screen, but he ll actually be on
2024 is going to be, and it truly is unlike anything we have ever seen in this country. the fact that the presumed front runner is going to be bouncing back, ping-ponging between pressing the flesh in iowa and new hampshire and the bar and south carolina and going on trial. this seems like the reality we are barreling towards. yeah, no, it does make your head explode in some ways. i mean, what i m actually curious about is whether donald trump actually welcomes this. obviously nobody wants to be indicted four times and no matter how many counts, is not an enviable position to be in. but, when you are someone who is as pathological as donald trump and fees on the attention as much as he does, and someone who s been so successful in leveraging attention like this you know in some cases very negative attention into political capital, i mean you have to wonder, could he just be so happy that he s going to be in the middle of all this? yes it s a split screen but
