Centering on how trump handled classified documents. Meanwhile, lets go to georgia in a separate Criminal Case against trump, the judge promising a ruling in the next two weeks on a hearing in that case . Fulton County District attorney fani willis, fighting to stay on the prosecution against trump and his allies. A lot swirling around here. Lets discuss it all with cnn contributor and former Nixon White House counsel, john dean, jon great to have you on. Thanks for being with us this evening. Lets start first with this tactic that we know trump and his team have been putting into place, which is delay, delay, delay it seems to be working right now. Would you disagree no, i would not disagree. I think its been very successful particularly going into the high court, going to the Supreme Court. Thats tied the january 6 case in the District Of Columbia in knots and prevented it from doing anything the other cases are marching along, if you will and yet they are kind of in a way tied together if one gets delayed or another can they do kind of all tied together in a way just in terms of scheduling, were putting the calendar up right now. Do you think that in addition to just trying to delay across the board until they can get through this election season that theyre also trying to, in a sense, get the, get the cases or the trials that they want and get the other ones, maybe the dc case, slow that down as much as possible. The reason they want to delay is they they believed that theres a good shot that trump can get reelected and napoleon obviously is showing that, that he does have a real shot and once he becomes president again, he can get, he can dispose of the federal cases by selfpardoning himself now whether thatll work in the law or not, we dont know its never happened before where a president is selfpardon. But that would take care of two cases, the two federal cases, the dc case and the documents case in florida he could also have his Department Of Justice argue under the Supremacy Clause that as president , he cannot any longer your be prosecuted by at the states. That is the existing policy and could probably at least tie it up for four years while he was still president , taking it to the Supreme Court and back if necessary. So thats why he has invoked this defense. It really is a his campaign and is reelection are really his criminal defense . I think hes much more interested in dealing with that problem than he is with dealing with the problems of the nation. Frankly while and he talks about it a lot on the Campaign Trail as we heard earlier today as well. As sinner to his pitch to voters hearing you talk, talk us through all of that. You start to think about this claim of absolute immunity for a president. Obviously youre talking about him potentially pardoning him itself. But the Supreme Court has said it is going to hear his arguments on his immunity claims in april hes made the case that he has essentially complete immunity, even if they puncture his legal argument though, is the simple fact that all his cases for essentially on pause until then does that make it a win . And then secondly, what, what do you think the Supreme Court, how do you think they may be evaluating this right now . It does not tie the Immunity Argument does not tie up every case. For example, the case in new york brought by da bragg in manhattan, which is a spin out of a Southern District of new york case. Its often called the hush money case. Its also an election interference case. So that case does not appear to be tainted by his been in office because it happened. The Hush Money Arrangement was made before he became president. While there were some checks written after he was president. Its so tangential that he couldnt argue anyway, that was was to affect them and that is first scheduled trial on the 25th of this month. And it looks like its going to go forward. So not everything is stalled. I think he is trying to stall Everything Else that hes got some control of, but hes lot us control of that case. And how do you assess where the Supreme Court i mean, obviously were going to know once they rule on it, but what are your thoughts around the Supreme Court taking on these claims of immunity . It would be amazing if they granted president ial immunity to president s have faced criminal charges. Richard nixon during watergate. Very well. Yes. I had left the white house. Yes, im very familiar with and bill clinton faced a Perjury Charge as well for law signed to a grand jury, which he was able to resolve with less than a charge by a Special Prosecutor so its not new issue that prior president s have all thought they did have exposure. Trump is the first one whoever has claimed that there is theres total immunity and its frankly nonsense. Since while president s have committed criminal acts, they have largely, if not exclusively been National Security matters and you can cite lots of president s who gave illegal orders and nixon once said, famously or infamously, if a president does that mean its illegal or its legal . And he was talking in the National Security area. So i dont think the Supreme Court is going to delve into all this the Dc Circuit Court wrote remarkably sophisticated and complete decision, which is what is under appeal i think one of the reasons the Supreme Court took this is trump has raised immunity in other jurisdictions other than the District Of Columbia. Hes raised it in the florida case. Hes raised it in the georgia case i think they want to address it and its a court that likes to have the last word on everything anyway. But if i would be shocked, jessica, if they granted immunity. And you mentioned georgia, id love to talk to you about that for just a second because we saw those Closing Arguments in the hearing to potentially disqualify the prosecutor, fani willis that happened yesterday afternoon, and then the judge saying that he hopes to rule on that the next two weeks based on what we saw yesterday, the questions from the judge, do you get the sense . The judge will disqualify fani willis i get the sense he will not hes hes actually worked in that office. Hes worked as a prosecutor in the Us Attorneys Office as well. He knows a lot of those players, some of my colleagues ive talked to did not think fani was particularly wellrepresented. I just had the opposite reaction that the lawyer arguing for the District Attorneys office probably knew the judge and was just marching him through. Here heres what you should be alert to. And you want to get right . And they have not shown an actual conflict of interest chris, they have not presented one thats all speculation and theyve used this to smear her fairly successfully and to taint her. But they have not shown a conflict and which must be real, not not a potential conflict or appearance even its very difficult under georgia law to remove a District Attorney from a case. And i dont think theyve made the case here, so i would be shocked again, if she is removed rather, i think shell proceed with the case and i hear you to underscoring that. Yes, they have smeared her another one of the tactics that trump and his team use a lot is just really muddying the waters even if they dont get the outcome, they ultimately want. Theyve muddied it enough that it could potentially have an impact moving down the way. Do you think that they have done that here, regardless of what the ruling is . Well, i think theyd probably have i think the local jury pool in Fulton County probably as well tainted by now, and probably pick sides, but that doesnt mean a juror cant come in and take the jurors oath and swear to base their decision on what the evidence is presented to them in that courtroom. I know many people who served on juries and weve talked about it. And they said they had theyve theyve admitted to having opinions or what have you and actually still gotten on the jury. And they said they really base their decision on the evidence. So i think most jurors and most americans, when they are on a jury, do the right thing. There might be somebody, however, who wants to get on a jury to favor one or more of the defendants . Well, so much more to come. It is going to be an interesting year indeed, john dean, we always appreciate your expertise. Thanks so much thanks. Jessica a tale of two very different Weather Emergencies playing out right now.

The whole story with Anderson Cooper tomorrow at eight on cnn a developing story out west california, sierra nevada, is buried under a rare and relentless blizzard with ten to 12 feet expected in some mountain areas, that powerful Storm Wreaking Havoc on Interstate 80 with drivers stranded and multiple collisions prompting authorities to shut down a major Stretch Jim California near nevada. Siemens, elisa raffa is in the Weather Center tracking the storm, at least i think a lot of people want to know. Will this come to an end anytime soon . Not really through the weekend. Were going to keep the snow showers pumping through the rest of the day today into sunday and even monday as well as the snow just stays pretty relentless. Thats why were looking at extreme impacts. You see here lined out in the purple, because travel would not only be difficult, it will be dangerous and impossible. Youve got whiteout conditions from incredibly high the snow and gusty winds winds, so gusty that not only will they blow around snow, but they can be damaging, knocking out power and snowfall rates could be upwards of 40 inches per hour. So incredible that weve already gotten three feet of snow on the ground for places like a truckee are looking at 30 inches of snow there nearing for you from soda springs and king valle, 42 inches of snow. And thats just through this afternoon. The warnings though, continue through a lot of sunday. You see there in the orange where we have Blizzard Warnings because not only do you get the heavy snow, we will have the gusty winds. Thats really going to kick that snow around. Look at the lightning its been incredible to see some of this thundersnow over salt lake city. You could see a couple of more Lightning Strikes off the coast there. And that shows just how intense this storm is. You have the showers, the rain coming into san francisco, but look at where that cold air comes in in the higher elevations, those snow showers just keep im being the machine just keeps going. The rate of hers look pretty similar throughout the day today and well continue to do so tomorrow. So some of these Snowfall Totals in some of the highest peaks, you know, 56000 feet above sea level, youre looking at some snow totals to 12 feet or more like i said, were already got three almost four feet of snow down and a lot of places tackling wind gusts over 100 Miles Per Hour. Thats where youre looking at some pretty damaging conditions, 114 mileperhour guys recorded at mammoth mountain. We continue with these gusts will over 65 to 70 Miles Per Hour as we go through this the day today. And then look what happens. These wind gusts really start to kick going into the Central Plains as well. Gus 35 to 40 Miles Per Hour. Thats going to make matters worse when it comes to the fire weather, we have red flag warnings in effect for decent chunk of the Central Plains because not only do you have those wind gusts from the storm in california, you have air so dry relative humidity values only down to about ten to 15 so with these burn scars, fires that have been ongoing, we know we have a fire in the Texas Panhandle that has already burned more than 1 million acres and its only 15 contained. So insult to injury when youve got these gusty winds, youve got this very dry air and dry Ground Conditions thats going to keep the critical fire weather through today and tomorrow in areas that have already burned, jessica. All right. Elisa raffa for us. Thanks so much. And lets talk more about those fires she was just mentioning there is so much devastation in the Texas Panhandle tonight, strong winds and high temperatures major concern there this week as these wildfires rage on, we know at least two people have died in these Smokehouse Creek fire.
