bond, who has had quite a week. i know you personally walked giuliani into the jail. i imagine you probably can t do that for all of your clients. can you just walk us through what that was like? kaitlan, thank you for having me on this evening. i appreciate it. it s been a wild ride for the last week. but essentially we had to coordinate everything for mayor giuliani and help assist in that due to the nature of this case. i mean, did giuliani himself call you? did someone who works on his team call you? how did this even get how does this get started? normally it starts through the attorneys, and we have a lot of great relationships with attorneys across the u.s. and this one somewhat landed into our lap and they trusted us to handle the case for them. yeah. he came with the former new york city police commissioner, bernie kerik. i don t believe he was there. he had a georgia attorney on the
they will not finish quickly. there will be a long case. there will be a ton of issues that come up. but i think what it does, it delays everything else. but of course all this hinges, frankly, on the hearing that we see coming forth on monday in federal court and whether or not the cases are removed. and they make some of this a moot point. yeah, it s going to be fascinating. on this speedy trial aspect of this, kerry, trump s brand-new attorney and by brand-new, i mean he s been on the job three days now steve sadow, says trump is seeking to sever his request from anyone making a similar request to make a similar move. if the cases are indeed separated, some people like kenneth chesebro and sidney powell go and maybe they re acquitted, what does that mean for trump s case here? he s going to want to delay his case. and some of the other defendants will too. i think part of what s going to happen here is they re going to drown the d.a. s office in motions practice. and the for
prosecutors feet to the fire when a defendant asks their case be tried. when they re indicted, the state gets one additional term of court. in town fulton county, that means they get an additional two months. the prosecutor had no choice but to schedule it and the court had no choice but to schedule it. if the trial is not held by then, the case is judged an acquittal. so, that s a problem for the state in this case. i don t think there s a possible way the other defendants will be ready. i think it s probably smart on chesebro s behalf to move forward. i don t know how he ll feel about being joined with ms. powell. i m sure there are other defendants who would be glad to have those cases move first so they can watch the case. they ll learn what the witnesses say, they ll get to read how a jury reacts to the arguments made. they ll get to hear arguments surrounding attorney advice in this case. so, that s those cases will go quick.
job. so, how is there any stretch of an argument that he was working on behalf of the federal government? he certainly wasn t working on behalf of the federal government. and we haven t made a final decision on that. you may wind up being right. we re not sure yet. you ve made the counterargument very well. i mean, john eastman didn t work in the government. but so far jeffrey clark and mea mark meadows, we know they did. is it a stronger argument for them? a much stronger argument. i imagine if mr. eastman will try this case, that clip will be played back in court. the transfer of court to a federal court is about having federal executives, federal employees who have actions brought against them, criminal actions, or civil actions by having the right to have the case moved. it talks about their duties, talks about their job. it s a pretty low bar. they ve got to make a plausible argument and a plausible claim they were doing something connected with their employment.
so, here you ve got meadows, who said, look, i m doing the task of chief of staff. i ve been asked to make telephone calls. i ve been asked to schedule meetings. i ve been asked to do whatever the president asked me to do. that is what the job of the chief of staff is. the president will say, i am the president of the united states. i am the executive and under article 2, i m required to enforce the laws of congress. the department of justice is under my per view and enforcing election laws is under my purview. that gives him the claim. whether or not the judge will agree with that, i don t know. if there was ever a case that would be transferred because an executive federal employee, is there anyone more executive than the president of the united states? and these counts, 154 of the 157 acts that the prosecutor alleges in her indictment, were acts committed during the time that trump was the sitting president of the united states. so, there will be a compelling case to be made to tran
