or versions of that sentence were passed around in the 15 hundreds. in 16 11, the english poet john davies put it in a way that actually makes more semantic sense than the current version when he said, a man cannot eat his cake and have it still. judge dearie conducted a meeting with the lawyers on both sides of the case in his brooklyn courtroom today, and tonight donald trump is probably throwing his cake. judge dearie scheduled a meeting for 2 pm and remarkably entered his courtroom it at 2 pm, according to our first guest andrew weissmann who was in the room. that kind of precise in this to a schedule for anyone who spent time in courtrooms is remarkable, it s just a remarkable way to start a court session exactly 2 pm. judge dearie was quick, he was simple, he was direct, his
presidents discussions in the oval office. those tapes revealed richard nixon s involvement in federal crimes. richard nixon then resigned the presidency and a month later was pardoned by his chosen vice president who had become president gerald ford. that pardon saved richard nixon from becoming the first former president of the united states to be charged with a crime and tonight that historical achievement of being the first former president of the united states to be charged with a crime seems ever more likely to become an entry into donald trump s resume. judge john sirica was appointed to the federal bench by republican president dwight eisenhower and he took down the next republican president richard next in. donald trump s john circuit was also appointed by a republican president, ronald reagan. raymond dearie who is now serving as a special master in
