Its very significant. The weight of resources are no longer in your favor, i dont care how much money you necessarily have. What theyre doing now is likely expected a not guilty plea where he will formally tell the court he has notice of all the charges against him, and they will set some date in the future in terms of when he will have to either have discovery provided to him, there likely is not going to be a Motion Schedule for the things that you would argue about what would come into evidence, thats going to be longer down the road. But the notion of a rap sheet is so significant with these different indictments, particularly because of this reason normally if somebody has charges against them, trials in the same vicinity, youre talking about maybe if they are convicted theyre going to run concurrent sentences, meaning this one will run on top of the other and the other. Its not going to be youll serve five years for this one, then ten years for another, five for the next. It will
President ial nomination. Well President Biden faces no serious competition, his margin of victory could shed light on the eagerness of democrats to check his name in november. And maybe the same could be said for donald trump, who has consistently lost 30 to 40 of the royal publican vote in early primary states. Joining us now to discuss it all is the democratic governor jb pritzker of illinois. Welcome governor. Its a tree having you here. Youve been bringing the fire on behalf of President Biden and the effort that is in front of the country, quite honestly. Given the menace that is meant represented by donald trump. I want to show you some polling though out there from the New York Times poll on the general election. Right now biden is trailing former President Trump by 43 to 48. Also you have conversations out there weve got mr. Trumps winning 97 of those who say that they vote for him four years ago, you look at that 2020 vote. Talk to us about the work that you see right now, an
And now it is a legal term. Ask anybody. Theyll tell you. Thank you, ari. See you later, joy. And we do continue to follow the breaking news tonight that donald trump has received indictment number three, courtesy of the d. C. Grand jury investigating his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. And let us just be clear, this is an historic moment in this country. Never has a president of the United States refused to relinquish power until trump. Never has a former president come up with a conspiracy that involves having their Vice President overturn the will of the people through the use of fake electors until trump. Never has a former president incited an insurrection with armed extremists to storm the u. S. Capitol until trump. And no u. S. President has ever been indicted before trump. And again for trump, this is indictment number three. And in many ways, it is the most historically significant one because its not just about his personal conduct. It is about us, our democracy. And n
Make, that is about the First Amendment. Hes allowed to give a political speech, and allowed to say wrong things in the speech. If you are republican running against trump and saying this is bad, the argument has to be that it is First Amendment protected for you to say gosh i probably lost georgia unfairly by 12,000 votes. You cannot call the Secretary Of State and say find me 12,000 votes. Those are different types of speech, and itll be interesting to see if any of the republicans in the primary actually make that argument. Wolf, putting all the legal stuff aside, you and i have covered a lot of these campaigns. I cannot believe that Vivek Ramaswamy is not trying to seize upon donald trump being arraigned in Federal Court to take advantage for his campaign. He sounded as though he is auditioning for Vice President or a member of the trump cabinet. What kind of bizarre, Twilight Zone world are we in right now . Other campaigns, in the past, Campaign Rivals will be seizing on Somethin
But i think its important to note what he said on the Ellipse On January 6th is not actually what is in the indictment. And in fact, i actually worry that by calling it the january 6th indictment that it allows this message that you heard to make it about the First Amendment. He is allowed to give a political speech and say wrong things. The argument has to be it is First Amendment protected for you to say i feel like i lost georgia unfairly by 12,000 votes. You cannot call the Secretary Of State and say find me 12,000 votes. Those are different types of speech and it will be interesting to see if any of the republicans make that argument. You and i have covered a lot of these campaigns. I cannot believe that vivek is not trying to seize upon donald trump being arraigned in Federal Court to try to take advantage of his campaign. He sounded like he was auditions for Vice President or a member of the trump cabinet. What kind of bizarre world are we living in . It is his third indictment.
