indictment. no one has made that allegation. at the end of the day, you have to weigh the damage of the indictment versus the damage of the allegations. it s just not even a fair way. senator marco rubio s evolution on donald trump s access to and handling of classified documents. yeah, i agree, it s not even a close call. you weigh whether you believe as the 11th circuit said that the foundational principle of this country, that no man is above the law, and you balance that against whatever marco was saying we should balance it against. and, you know, willie, i just you will notice you will notice of all of the noise out there, of all of the ground noise, nobody is saying he s innocent. nobody is saying he did not commit the crimes that will put him in jail for over a hundred years, if convicted on all things. i can t think of one person who has said this man did not do it. so what they say is what about hillary? i mean but they had a long time to do that.
continuing his case in d.c., which electors were going into the grand jury, i thought that was fascinating. shows tenacity and speed. they had down. you have jack smith in miami, but his team is going forward on the january 6th case, and then lewis kaplan, very respected judge who oversaw the civil case by e. jean carroll made a really good important ruling which has allowed her to bring an amended civil case, which basically said, you have continued to defame me because, again, donald trump continued to speak after the verdict in the civil case and basically saying i need more punitive damages. you know what punitive damages are for, they re there to deter someone from continuing to defame her. so that could cost him. a fortune. so the first verdict a millionaire, you know. exactly. that s amazing.
things happening with donald trump in 2020 the same, 2021. look at kansas, kentucky, wisconsin. kansas. i m telling you. this, too, this too, i think fast are than even those things, willie, going to sink in, because again, americans maybe, you know, they re not following e. jean carroll, the manhattan thing, but you have somebody who starts screwing with america s nuclear secrets and war plans against iran, start screwing with the most sensitive secrets and being reckless about it. 0.1%. i think we re getting into the 5% there. this is easy to understand. it s right in front of your eyes. the margins are so thin on these. is there an independent voter watching this play out and go i tilt towards donald trump on stealing nuclear secrets. andrew and george, thank you
and he s only just digging himself a bigger and bigger hole. on the e. jean carroll thing, it s very interesting. that case is probably going to go to another trial in the fall, and another thing that s interesting about it is that remember the case that was tried was the sexual assault case but also it was a second defamation case. yeah, it is a second defamation case of the defamation from 2022, and she got $3 million in damages for that defamation. the defamation in this other case isn t just what happened at the town hall a few weeks ago, but it s the original defamation in 2019 when he was president. he had the bully pulpit, and nobody knew anything about jean carroll until, you know, he started lying about her. and so the damages from that case should be much much greater, not even including the punitives that she will be entitled to for the fact that
oh, my lord, so now he s framed andrew weissmann. i know you want to talk about this. also, if you could talk about e. jean carroll and why that s important as well because she also was holding him accountable. also, how he admitted crimes. again. you re charged with illegal possession, and you give a speech where you say this is why i possessed them. that is actually a confession, not a defense. can that be used in court? absolutely. those statements are admissible. everything that is coming out of his mouth is admissible under the rules of evidence. do you think someone has told him that? i do. his counsel dejour has definitely told him. that s the penalty. you may be doing this for political reasons, but it s going to hurt you in terms of the court. two things happened yesterday outside of miami, which was so interesting, one, jack smith is
