imagination, why is this lawyer, and an entire legal, team, constantly on television? i understand for some of them who are legal spokespeople, they re going to do a lot of cable tv hits. but if you re the lawyer who s going to be going before the judge for all of these motions, for the trial itself, you know the governments tracking what you are saying, and you are getting asked to comment on the specifics, the substance of your trial strategy, and you revealing details. i something i don t understand what they re doing other than donald trump likes to see his lawyers counterpunching on cable news. but it s gonna come back to bite them, just like donald trump s own comments publicly, and campaign events, on tv, have already come back to bite him, not only as these criminal prosecutions, but even in the civil trials with e. jean carroll. this is not a wise legal strategy. it is possibly a good political one, which is ultimately their entire true defense. bradley moss, jack smith
constantly on television? i understand for some of them who are legal spokespeople, they re going to do a lot of cable tv hits. but if you re the lawyer who s going to be going before the judge for all of these motions, for the trial itself, you know the governments tracking what you are saying, and you are getting asked to comment on the spices sticks, the substance of your trial strategy, and you revealing details. i something i don t understand what they re doing other than donald trump likes to see his lawyers counterpunching on cable news. but it s gonna come back to bite them, just like don trump s own comments publicly, and campaign events, on tv, have already come back to bite him, not only as these criminal prosecutions, but even in the civil trials with e. jean carroll. this is not a wise legal strategy. it is possibly a good political one, which is ultimately their entire true defense. bradley moss, jack smith also revealed today that there s a small amount of classified i
early as obviously the first day of the new year you could have a case begin. trump railing against that on social media. when do you expect his attorneys, though, to officially respond? they re going to have to by next thursday, so one week from today, trump s lawyers will come into court and they ll lay out the schedule that they want. as you said, quite plausibly, they would be asking for after t election. whether the judge would want to do that, that seems pretty unlikely. this judge has indicated she wants to move things along in this case. what the prosecutors are asking for here, it s not just a january 2nd start date of the trial itself, they actually want jury selection to begin just four months from now in december before the holidays, so a jury can be seated and then the trial can kick off right after the new year. so that s a pretty aggressive time line, and the prosecutors say they want that because it s of public importance that this deserves a prompt resolution. he s r
evidence to the criminal defense team so that they can get ready so they will get to see everything the justice department has collected to charge this case, take it through the grand jury, but that is a really significant thing that donald trump is now under a court order that he can t talk to people about this case, and also that his words publicly if he s talking about the case publicly or to law enforcement officials it can be used against him in the court of law, and even last night when he was at bedminster giving his speech he had said that he had every right to keep documents under the presidential records act. that s going to be a legal argument that his team is likely to make during this path to trial, but it s also something that could come up in the case if the justice department wants to use his own words saying yeah. he did know he had these documents. he says even after he s charged and in court and arrested they were his documents to keep. john? again, it could be use
because surely they re gonna be able to bring and prove that case, should they? and part of that is will a jury convict? and i think you saw evidence today that they will not hesitate despite the fame of the organization or the person behind it to do the right thing. harry lippman, litman to the same point, jack smith team, we got two teams won investigating january six, one investigating the documents case. federal prosecutors, put yourself back there in your own job as a federal prosecutor. you are on the jacks mid-team. how do you feel when those new york, those new york critics are unrelated as a matter of evidence they re unrelated to what you re investigating. but how do you feel on those new york criminal verdicts come in? pretty much like barry, i m ready to volunteer with this team right now into the closing arguments! [laughter] look, at the trial itself, trump became an issue because the defense came forward and said, you know, this is at the organization
