with republican congressman cory mills whose just filed an article of impeachment against president biden accusing him of abusing his power by pausing a weapons shipment to israel the money for which have been approved by congress. that's the line they are going on. want to talk to him about that with regard of course to the invasion of rafah that the white house did not want to see. first prosecutor say they can rest their case against former president trump next week. fox has confirmed his former lawyer and essential character in all of this very boisterous and talkative michael cohen's going to take the stand on monday. that's meant to be interesting. manhattan da alvin bragg showed up in court today. took a front row seat and watched the proceedings. the former president calling the case fake catka scam to keep them off the campaign trail. here he is earlier. >> i'm not going to be out campaigning for another record two as these corrupt thugs tech and that includes the judge. he should throw this case out. this case should go no further. every legal expert, the ones and many more, another one. many of them. they came out and they said this case should not go forward. it's not a case there's no crime. >> let's bring in judge, cohost of the five of the courthouse again today. judge great to have you with us. when you are talking earlier about all of your years as a prosecutor all your years as a judge you know all of this in and out which is such a great value to us. so tell me your take away from what you saw in there today? >> i was going to come in and talk about what i listen to. it was very drab and technical. laying the foundation for business records, at&t verizon and then irrelevant information communications between gina rodriguez on behalf of stormy daniels and dylan howard on behalf of american media and then at the end the prosecution, the defence says, you know, we would like judge for you to make sure that michael cohen just stops talking. there seems to be an indication that everybody understood he was coming in monday, and as a result of that they requested the gag order on michael cohen. so the judge to my astonishment comes out and says to the da literally i'm going to direct the people meaning the da to tell michael cohen that the judge doesn't want him speaking about this case. and i'm sitting there stunned you're either a judge you are wearing a robe you are not. and free to say in the prosecution says, you know, your honor, we tell all are witnesses not to refrain from speaking about the case. it is such a shell game. the whole thing is about smoke and mirrors with the prosecution saying we told them not to talk but he's on tiktok announcing now he's running for congress on tiktok. and on top of that the judge says, tell him for me i would like it if you would stop talking. tell him this is from the bench. go tell him your father said so. but nothing-- >> sont cambellton 32 years, in these positions i have never seen that. and you have alvin bragg walk into the courtroom. end of looking at his back and he scrunched up next to his bodyguard and i'm saying to myself alvin bragg you know how many defendants are in jail right now waiting to come to court for trial because of all the covid delays and you are in here as a spectator watching a political theatre because nothing that happened today had anything to do with donald trump. nothing that's been happening has anything to do with the real crime. it's all smoke and mirrors again , to keep donald trump in the courtroom. and you know what i hate just repeating myself. but i just was so reminded as i looked at the judge and thought about myself, you've got the flight of the united states, the flag of new york state, the seal of the state. above that in god we trust. you can't trust this justice system without they are doing to this president, with all of the shenanigans they are going through to try to make them look back. stormy daniels, that whole testimony yesterday was a charade. it was a show. it was ridiculous. it's prejudicial but they don't care. they've got him on lockdown and they've got him not going on the campaign trail. and i haven't talked about the campaign. i've been talking about the law. but the more eyewitnesses, the more i sit there and say this is a sham, this is the banana republic joe biden is out there campaigning and donald trump the former president is sitting in the bowels of the courtroom in manhattan that's filthy dirty where murders, rapist violent felons, and we've got him on some bookkeeping thing that's expire from the statute of limitations. this is lunacy martha. it's crazy and even the larger extrapolated charge this was somehow campaign violation, falsifying records as a misdemeanour which as you say has run out statue of limitations with them because it was extracted to this felony which is furtherance of another crime you falsify these records, we haven't gotten to any of this >> tying trump to any of this. they are about to wrap up their case. >> martha: i just want to get a quick preview on earth guard to michael cohen you can talk all you want about the kind of things the former president says about the people involved in this case what he just said about the judge which is perfect it within his rights to say. michael ko and i watch some of his tiktok videos he's got a shirt on with trump in jail, and he's basically saying we are going to looking a little bit but why wouldn't this judge want both sides to think that he's fair. why wouldn't he want to say tell him to button it up. i'm going to put gag order on him. we'll hear from him monday. i don't want to hear one thing from him before monday. maybe the weekend before he's testifying but the answers the question is obvious martha. because he doesn't want to. because he doesn't want to be there, because he doesn't care about the constitution as it relates to donald trump. it is shocking. the whole thing is blasphemous. >> i'm watching some other channels because i want to listen to the coverage out there and they are talking about a great job they are doing, how his very evenhanded, how they are glad there's two attorneys taking in all of this evidence who are on this jury because they will know how to weigh this evidence. >> it will be interesting. i don't know what will happen with history. again we are from a jury pool were 90% of the people hate donald trump and won't vote for him. so let's not kid ourselves on that end. but as it relates to what we are seeing every day, this judge is allowing irrelevant prejudicial evidence and snot probative. today nothing had anything to do with donald trump. nothing. all these text messages, reading them ad nauseam that dylan howard says this, gina rodriguez said that an daily mail was going to pay 200. what you going to do and then they bring in these paralegals from the da's office in manhattan. they said donald trump said this on twitter and at that time this was happening. the jury is yawning and sitting there. they don't know what's going on either. they don't know the crime is. >> martha: i always like to go back to this point because i think it adds to what you're saying. the federal election commission looked at this and i passed it. >> they said there is no law broken here. alvin bragg was pressured to take this case, you know, mark pomerantz want to this case to be pursued. he left and wrote a book about it. brett has a lot on the line here. and he's the only one of these cases that's likely to have been before the election. >> there's no other case that's going to go to trial before the election but as i was sitting there looking at alvin bragg's back i couldn't help but think he's here because he knows and if he doesn't win this case he's in deep do do. because he took it on. he ruined his own reputation. he took a case the previously he refused to take, federal election refused it. southern district of enoch cree refuse it. he's watching a judge is allowing in prejudicial evidence that has nothing to do. what do stormy daniels have to do this? if they brought her into say do you have an nda i would have objected to that because the nda >> it's my opinion have way more experience than i do but they brought her in to show that there is something the former president wanted buried. this is her story what he wanted to go away. >> she couldn't put donald trump in the middle of any of the negotiations of the nda. it was all the attorneys it was all the people who are working for him. nobody has put a finger on donald trump. >> that show what of the text messages the judges talking about between stormy's publicist , gina rodriguez and national enquirer editor dylan howard texting back and forth on october 9th right before the election 2016, howard i can get 100. rodriguez out loud. rodriguez okay what about 150? they go back and forth 110125. 120 sold says rodriguez. i go back to what hope hicks said. michael cohen called himself mr fix-it but only after him broken. and, you know, it's quite believable that he was like i'm handling this whole thing and not going to bother mr trump with this thing. we are going to figure this out and there will be so proud i took care of this. >> mr fix-it. it was a monitor he was proud of but think about going into the trial on monday. so much infection that's been shown to donald trump i people work for him whether it was hope hicks or whether it was madeleine wester of, and a lot even david pecker. >> the jury is hearing all that. >> michael cohen is coming in is the most hated guy. most of the witness talked about what creepy was. and yet they are going to turn him into saint michael cohen. i guarantee it. >> we'll see monday will be interesting. thank you so much. great to see you. proceed on the five. thanks for coming by. more on the central figure michael cohen said to take the stand on monday when jonathan turley joins me next. >> the wheels of justice turn slowly but they alternately come full circle. for donald it's now coming full circle. when did i call

today at the criminal trial. the judge did go so far as to tell the prosecutors to give former trump lawyer michael cohen a message. he said that from the bench tell him this is coming from the bench. stop talking about the case. former president though is under an official gag order. but the judge still declined as judge jeanine was talking with us about to do the same to cohen. cohen pleaded guilty to lying to congress. prosecutors say they can back up his testimony with other evidence. and fox has confirmed he will testify this monday. so let's bring in jonathan turley constitutional law attorney gw loft professor and fox news contributor. jonathan great to have you with us as always. i just want to give people a couple of examples of michael cohen because i think some people may have forgotten what he looks like and sounds like. so here he is on msnbc and then let's roll right into michael cohen on tiktok. >> i don't care how the media wants to portray. he's credible. whatever happened in the past. whatever i had owned and the things that i claim i shouldn't have been charged with is irrelevant in this case. they violated my first amendment constitutional right, back to otisville because i refused to waive that constitutional protection. my problem packets not just on me. whatever they did to me understand of god for the trump comes back to office he can do it to you. >> cohen also has hinted at running for congress in new york he's worked for trump for 12 years and went to cooley law school. i looked up today a small law school in michigan. jonathan turley what do you make of what happened today for the judge and the limit to what she may have restricted cohen from speaking in a couple of days in between now and monday. >> i would not have imposed a gag order on cohen. that's not the problem. the problem is the gag order on trump. you are supposed to impose gag order's with a great deal of reluctance and in a very narrow way. you don't just hand them out in silence everybody including witnesses. and the problem here is that it's not clear what the judge is protecting against. cohen is out there, you know, attacking the president campaigning against the president. people are attacking cohen. were you protecting against? he's in the middle of a firestorm of his own creation. so the gag order makes no sense at all. it's achieving nothing except silencing the leading candidate for the presidency. and to have the sudden epiphany that just maybe cohen should be instructed not to make these statements is a bit late. he's closing the door after the horse has gone. this is the weekend before he appears on the stand. would have expected at a minimum that the judge would have been very clear at the beginning of the case that these witnesses are asked not to make public statements but i tend not to like gag order's generally and certainly don't like the one against from which is poorly written and i think it's unconstitutional. >> martha: is so interesting the end of the day right before they broke judge menchan raised a possibility of calling former trump organization chief financial officer allen weisselberg surveying a five-month sentence right now for perjury. he was the top financial executive in the trump organization. what was that all about? and is that unusual for the judge to suggest that? >> it's very unusual. it reminds me of a judge when i started out as a lawyer who is notorious because he would say is that offence ready to present its case in turn to the prosecutors and say are we ready to present our case. this is a little bit crossing the line. you're not supposed to be making this a mutual effort but i expect when people see cohen understand that will wonder how are you out of jail. all of the testimony of these witnesses has been focusing on cohen. it's his legal advice. is trying to put his client away for following his legal advice. there's no evidence so far that the president made any decision to hide this as legal expenses. the term legal expenses has been used widely including by the clinton campaign to cover things like finding the steel dossier. there's the continued debate as to whether the shouldn't be treated as a legal expense. but bragg has been suggested what is he supposed to denote it as. avoidance cost. it doesn't have any relevance legally. but there's going to be. >> they wanted an item line that set hush money for stormy daniels i guess. >> yes. apparently he had do not just denote it that way but somehow put on the pages of the new york times. no one knows what he was supposed to do but there's gonna be a moment after cohen testifies which will determine really how much of a judge this is. because after the prosecution closes the defence will move to dismiss this case and merchants should dismiss it. and we will see. >> so many people are smart and follow a lot of what's going on but don't have time to follow everything here and there under the impression that having an agreement to bury a story between two parties is a legal. that that's the crime because that's all anyone has heard about you know? >> right. nda's are common in congress. they are common in business. there's nothing unlawful. the jury has been hearing there were federal campaign violations suggesting trump committed such a violation. he didn't. and as you noted earlier department of justice passed on this. they didn't even find him for this denotation. for the judge has allowed the jury to think there's a campaign-finance violation being hidden in all of this. >> you hear all sides of this. that's in everybody's ears and the jury's, their ears are the ones that matter in the situation. we don't know how they're taking all of this in. much has been said about the factors two attorneys on there. we don't know what their predilection is or how they are viewing this. attorneys see things lots of different ways so see. jonathan turley thank you very much. good to have you with us. >> thanks martha. moments ago republican congressmen cory mills summited a single article of impeachment against president biden for what he sees as abuse of power to force israel to change course. he's going to join us with what his argument is on this next. >> so in this moment we must be crystal-clear we stand with israel we stand with israel. will make sure we have what it needs to take care of the citizens can't defend itself and respond to this attack. me from. best of all, it's on sale for mother's day. get it now, before she has to remind you.

(the stock market is now down 23%). this is happening people. where there are so few certainties... (laughing) look around you. you deserve to know. as we navigate a future unknown. i'm glad i found stability amidst it all. gold. standing the test of time. >> president joe biden: the idea that we would cut off military aid to our ally, our only true ally in the entire region is absolutely preposterous. it is just beyond my comprehension anyone would do that. >> martha: bit of a look back there in 200 for. president biden, excuse me 2019. here he has now on the issue of aid to israel. >> president joe biden: i made it clear if they go into rafah, they haven't gone into rafah yet, they go into rafah i am not supplying the wreck weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah to deal with that problem. >> martha: in a moment hate staff joins me on sat but first to cory mills who calls that a quid pro quo. hours ago he felt an article of impeachment against the president. the white house says it is acting consistently with the law. he's a member of the services committee and army combat veteran. good to have you with us today. thanks for being here. >> thank you martha. >> martha: that's a major step in remains to be seen how much support there will be for it but in terms of what you put out there explain what you believe is quid pro quo argument in this impeachment article. >> it's really no different if you go back to what president biden had tweeted out previously. he said that withholding congressionally appropriated aid for a return of a political gain is in some way apron" in that president trump should be impeached with regards to ukraine. i'm going to go ahead and preface this by saying, 98% of the language that's in my impeachment articles was drafted by representative jerry nadler's who i hope will support this given the fact that they set the precedence with her own words. but the reality is that when you are trying to withhold humanitarian or any type of congressional appropriated aid for the purpose of political gain which he does look at political gain because he wants to win michigan. he wants to pander to the radical left, and think about what he's done here. he utilized and pulled the wool over our eyes. he released aid to go into gaza which fell into the hands of hamas. he withholds aid to israel and it's ability for defence and to take out hamas from the radical extremism that's going on, and the day prior to this, he signs a waiver to bypass sanctions to send weapons to lebanon and to send it to qatar two of the most anti-israeli nations, and not to mention that lebanon has been launching attacks with hezbollah from his son mr i so this is a clear violation. he has multiple he's omitted. one is to take care because that he violated with not enforcing the border laws that are down there. the other is separation of power that he violated when he continued to supersede what scotus' ruling was with guards to funding for the college bailout and now with quid pro quo it shouldn't be quid pro quo joe. so mike pence disagrees with you on this. he says this is totally an acceptable. i'm old enough to remember when democrats impeached another president for supposedly withholding foreign aid that was approved by congress. stop the threats. america stands with israel. your thoughts on that. >> when i start concerning myself with what mike pence has to say i will stop running for congress. >> martha: he was talking at withholding of a not your impeachment. i want to be clear. so a lot of people make the reagan comparison. and in 1981 he delayed a shipment of us f-16 fighter jets tech fighter-bombers to israel in an effort to restrain with the secretary of state at the time call an escalated cycle of violence in the middle east. don't you think the president would say the reason i'm holding back on this is because i want to protect the people in the palestinian territory and cool things off? >> i think that's actually the opposite of what he's zameer because he's continuing to try and put aid into gaza flowing into the hands of hamas was selling that aid to the palestinian people in need to help fund potential counteroffensive. not to mention the fact that when the aid package went through for the supplemental he actually knew very well with the aid package included, where would be funded and what articles or materials will be going in. and he knew very well at the battle strategy was in prime minister benjamin netanyahu was very clear they would continue to go into rafah and eliminate hamas. so his idea of not knowing or saying he's zameer withhold for other types of reasoning is just not sound and is not justified whenever you look at what he ardene knew. >> how much support you have among your colleagues in the house? >> what if you supporting this articles of impeachment as well as helping me to strengthen with other language. we have filed it right now and are hoping will be brought to the floor. we know there'll be a motion table vote that's on there. but i'm hopeful my colleagues would join me in holding accountability for once and not just talking about it. if we are truly going to be the governing republican party in the house, let's start acting like it. >> interesting to see what your democrat colleagues think about it having gone through the impeachment process with the former president trump and the parallels that you point out. thank you very much congressman from florida. good to see use her. >> thank you martha pete hynes now. weekend house. what you think of this impeachment? >> cory mills is right that the reason the white house is doing this is partisanship political numbers cratering constituencies unhappy with whatever policy they are pursuing in the middle east right now which is totally unclear who side they are on we don't know. but politically they want to stop the bleeding so pushing back on benjamin netanyahu and saying you cannot continue your offensive to eradicate the enemy that massacred your people is leveraging usaid in a way that's totally improper and very much cory mills is right. likened to the perfect phone call the donald trump had. my issue with republicans and this is not cory mills. where is the got's for impeachment on the abandonment of afghanistan or the joe biden crime family the southern border that being the biggest and most obvious one. so yes, i think this would be the fitting of that. it's going to go anywhere. they will not garner enough votes. the establishment won't allow it. they should impeached joe biden on total abdication of the southern border and they should have done it yesterday and she dude again tomorrow and the next and remind voters to abandon our country standing by her allies is incredibly important but protecting our southern border and our own homeland is even more important and republicans are not in that. >> i want to ask about the military goals and whether were not israel is capable of eradicating hamas without the weapons that are being withheld. here's benjamin netanyahu talking about their strength. >> if israel has two standalone we will standalone. will fight with her fingernails. i assure you doctor phil we have more than fingernails. and we will be victorious. >> a beautiful scene over the old city of jerusalem in the interview. what do you think of the military keep ability? are they capable of eradicating hamas getting to eis and where i making hamas and capable of another october 7th. or they capable yes? you have to untie the hands of the military. >> but without the weapons that are being withheld. >> a lot more difficult no doubt. israel made a calculated mistake years ago believing they didn't need to provide their own munitions. they basically outsource reliance on munitions to united states thinking us will have our back if we ever need them. here we are. joe biden doesn't have their back. now they are stuck so they have to use different types of ordinances. maybe get them from other countries. although there are not many other countries willing to have the back at this moment. so the bigger bombs required to get to the bunkers in the tunnels. you will have to more infantry type ground operations which is even more dangerous. >> martha: what about the idea that if israel feels like they don't have a strong ally in the us, low say we are survivalists nation, we need to talk to russia and china. we need to get we have to get. smack yes. they are a sovereign nation. israel is a sovereign nation. they are allies but they are going to pursue their interests based on what their prime minister and their-- soleil fleury america abandons them then they will turn to someone else because their threat is existential. joe biden is turning his back on him right now. >> the other thing is with them in where they are more vulnerable check where iran looks at them and says gee us isn't sending sending them the stuff that they need. may be we should make a move. maybe has blush and make a move on the northern part of israel. maybe this is our moment. >> that's been a big concern especially at the tail and make of the joe biden administration. in this moment absolutely they need to finish the job. israel needs to be able to finish it's job to eradicate the terrorists that exist in gaza and not listen to the international leftists who hate them no matter what they do. get rid of the terrorists and then you got so many other gathering threats america is clearly not addressing. you have a chance to take on those as well. >> you have to see six steps ahead and these situations especially when you're the president of united states making these very big moves. >> joe cannot take one step so that's a problem. >> martha: that's another issue. and sneakers. thanks you guys. thank you very much. you can catch. again tonight on live fox nation and more on his special the war on warriors. this is his new book. excellent. you should pick it up. all of peter's writing is really top-notch and he has so much experience. 7:00 pm eastern tonight so be sure to check that out. it will be great. all right so president biden recommit to getting on the debate stage with president trump after this from the former president. >> let's get to the debate right now. the american people have the right to know. anytime anywhere any place let's go joe it's debate. otezla can help you get clearer skin. don't use otezla if you're allergic to it. serious allergic reactions can happen. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. some people taking otezla had depression, suicidal thoughts, or weight loss. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. live in the moment. ask your doctor about otezla. all these games on directv— and no satellite on the roof! think about this: blue jays, cardinals, orioles... what's missing? the andean condor? no, walnut-brain! pigeons! they'd rather name a team after socks! to be fair, we're not very athletic. (vo) if you have graves' disease... ...and blurry vision, you need clear answers. d noalw unique style, cutting-edge innovation, and thoughtful details, inspired by you. in >> martha: president biden after former president trump challenged him to debate. right now ray here anywhere. watch this. >> when you debating president trump? >> i don't know. >> said it apiece in. commission presidential debates has scheduled the first debate for september 16th. trump is arguing some swing state voters will restart casting ballots by then in some situations. the commission says it chose the day after come brand of study of early voting rules so they are okay with september 16th. let's bring in fox news computer joe konjuh and becky and pete hakes ted fox and friends weekend cohost great to have you here. first of all the response, you know, he doesn't really want to engage on that issue. is just like where my odds. sher said it up. >> what i get the feeling joe biden is going to take trump upon his offer to debate anytime anywhere. because let's say joe biden is serious. we should start these debates next month before one voters cast. that is why the voters deserve. here's the thing. this will be joe biden's biggest test if he actually does debate because two reasons one he has a record he has to defendant he's pulling lower than any president in 70 years at this stage in his first term, and welders not want to be a teleprompter this time and there won't be a script to guide him. so if he goes out there and does what he did with cnn this weekend so, yeah, i inherited nine% inflation when i came in office he's going to get called on that by trump. if he tries to claim that i inherited a mess at the border because of trump people at home or shake their heads and go that's absolutely not true. at least sane and sober ones. this goes two ways. he either doesn't debate. they say it's too to rescue her neck and put them out there and if he does at that cnd macros campaign because hell look cowardly and quite frankly want to save democracy you can't the not confront the guy you say is the biggest threat to democracy. >> it's great point. let's get into the way back machine and go back to 2020. i was in the room for this debate. it is quite a night. discussion that the former president may have had covid when he was up there or maybe got a couple of days later but it was quite a night. watch this. >> the question is-- sematech. >> you shut up man? it's hard to get any wording with this plan. >> don't ever use the word smart with me. there's nothing smart about you joe. you are the worst president in america has ever had. >> china eight your lunch joe. >> president joe biden: he's racist. >> you have treated the black community as bad as anybody in this country. >> everybody knows he's a liar. >> martha: my gosh. that makes me uncomfortable. >> that was better than the brady bunch. >> martha: i love when he throws and you are a racist. just throw in anything you cannot that moment. what are your thoughts? >> that was joe with some capability cackle little quick. but four years later it's going to look like and the tenth round of a fight. it's just haymakers. all your tactics out the window. all the skills at the window. years zameer land anything anywhere. that's why think joe biden has to say this right now. would also he say no i'm afraid? of course is going to say that but i think campaign when they realize how dangerous this is especially numbers seem to tighten our they think that we are going to say we can't flat platform donald trump by giving him the opportunity to spread his misinformation so we will not allow just like we see the other night. convicted on any charge that i think that's what they're looking for. >> just like every other network is wall-to-wall on the guy boutin won't show him when he actually speaks donald trump that's the same treatment they will try to pull. >> that's a great point. some are calling for no audience smaller forums. have them set at a table. they are older. have them both sit at a table and and really have a constructive conversation. to the american people deserve it. is this something we should not deserve it they do deserve it but is it something they should have as part of this process. >> something like 70 or 80 million people watched presidential debates so they absolutely deserve this and they are crucial because jimmy carter beaten ronald reagan by nearly ten points before their only debate and reagan showed the contract between him and carter wins in a landslide. that's why these have to happen ross joe biden will try to include the presidency by pleading the fifth. >> you need to see them go mano a mano. they have to get up early. fact people are voting mid-september spirit john fetterman was very late. he got criticized for that. but anyway i love covering their moonsault is exciting night and a great night for the country so thank you so much. >> happy mother's day. >> thank you jen. thank you very much. so coming up an exclusive with missouri attorney general andrew bailey who claims there's evidence connecting joe biden's doj to some of the prosecution's against former president trump and he says that he's aware of what that evidence is. we'll talk to them next. >> this all comes out of washington. it's too damage croker joe biden's political opponent using the finest materials, like indulgent memory foam, and ultra-conforming inner-springs, for a beautiful mattress, and indescribable comfort. save up to $800 on select adjustable mattress sets at stearnsandfoster.com >> serious accusation about former president trump legal battles coming from missouri's attorney general. republican andrew bailey says quote thanks to evidence that has come to light my office has reason to believe joe biden's corrupt department of justice is the headquarters of the illicit prosecutions against president trump. he's demanding a whole list of documents from the doj on their contacts, e-mails and text messages between all these offices of the people that you see on your screen including letitia james fani willis and alvin bragg. we asked the justice department for response. no response from them as of yet. missouri attorney general andrew bailey joins me now. general bailey good to have you with us. thank you for joining me. >> thank you for having me on. explain to me what is the evidence, the clear evidence that links the white house to these prosecutions which we have heard former president trump claim all along and there's a number of sort of ties between the teams but what clear evidence has come to light the causes you to go to step further? >> president trump is absolutely right. the illicit nature of these witchhunt prosecutions is self-evident to anyone paying attention broadly speaking but specifically alvin bragg's prosecution at the manhattan district attorney's office is not support a by the facts or the wall. i would remind viewers at the end of the day all attorneys are held to are certain rules of professional conduct. prosecutors are actually held to a heightened standard of rules. it's illicit to bring a frivolous case and that's what's happening here but what we are not focused enough on and what this request seeks to expose is the illicit motivations the prosecutors themselves. alvin bragg sued president trump and didn't campaigned on a promise to prosecute president trump. he's self-interested in this case because president trump is a political opponent of the people that alvin bragg is backing same with matthew calendula. this is a top official in joe biden's department of justice that until recently was being paid by president biden's administration and has been deployed by the doj to assist alvin bragg and is leading the prosecution of president trump in manhattan. this is an individual matthew calendula who is a longtime supporter of the dnc. so the political motivations of these two individuals is also self-evident which gives rise to the clear accusation proven accusation that their motivations are listed. they should have been disqualified from this case long ago. >> we've discussed matthew calendula. he gives the opening statement in new york and he was the attorney who questioned conning the konyen jeff mcconney and hope hicks in the case so far and he clearly has ties to the doj. let number 3 spotted doj. what i'm asking is do you have new evidence, any evidence that you think is going to be uncovered specifically in these e-mails that's going to lay out this link for people who listen to what you're saying now and say he's just a republican ag and he just wants to support trump? >> these are reasonable inferences drawn from the facts we have alvin bragg who expressed self-interest in the prosecution illicit witchhunt. matthew calendula who is working president trump's political opponent. the objective here is to obtain an illicit conviction of president trump but also take president trump of the campaign trail. something they are doing. that's election to fans. there's also a long history of the deep stadium washington dc department of justice behaving this manner. peter strzok and lisa page in 2016 on the evil of president trump selection they were already concocting schemes texting one another back and forth. >> what's the likelihood you will get any of these records turned over to you? is this an exercise that's going to lead to evidence? >> we are not cordial at that affirmative just a stone wall us. the people deserve to understand the illicit nature and motivation of the prosecutors themselves who are perpetrating this illicit witchhunt. we need to put that out there and have it be transparent. the judge does qualify those prosecutors but if they fail to do so than the public needs to understand we need to tackle how we are going to hold the prosecutors responsible. their professional licensure tax civil liability and certainly to the extent they broke the law to obtain illegal convictions that they are seeking then it's time to prosecute the prosecutors. >> andrew bailey thank you for coming by. keep us posted if you get any of the documents are looking for." sewer echoes. thank you very much. >> thanks martha. going to take a quick break ande we'lngl be right back. stay with usunce. with usps ground advantage®. ♪ “the darkness of bipolar depression made me feel like i was losing interest in the things i love. then i found a chance to let in the lyte.” discover caplyta. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta is proven to deliver significant symptom relief from both bipolar i & ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. caplyta can cause serious side effects. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. anti-depressants may increase these risks in young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. caplyta is not approved for dementia-related psychosis. report fever, confusion, or stiff muscles, which may be life threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements which may be permanent. common side effects include sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, and dry mouth. these aren't all the side effects. in the darkness of bipolar i & ii depression, caplyta can help you let in the lyte. ask your doctor about caplyta. find savings and support at caplyta.com. why would i use kayak to compare hundreds of travel sites at once?
