he not just turn them over when the fbi was demanding that he do so? well, i think there is a sense of entitlement about donald trump that what he wants, he he s entitled to. he could take it and do what he wants with it and he doesn t face consequences and i have to say based on his career to date, he had very strong reasons to think he could do whatever he wanted to do. so he could show to people, i have documents that you can t have and you can t see. i could tell the fbi that i don t have information and i could get away with it. i could do all of these things and his experience would tell him that there would be no downside for him. now we re about to find out whether there is going to be downside. i think he s shocked by this. i think this is put he s been put in a situation he has never experienced before. lastly, sir, before you go. and we do appreciate your timep what is your message to the republicans would continue to
in the lead by a large margin. he is still wildly popular. you saw that that restaurant and we just karen and i just talked about it off camera. that is the jury pool. that is the jury pool that is going to hear this case. and i doubt they ll be a person in that restaurant that could convict donald trump no matter what the charges are. and there is case that is made and there is such a thing of jury nullification as you know. and that is very real. that is likely to happen here. but that doesn t there is something else, which is that is the jury pool. that is going to hear this case. but it is the same jury pool that comprised 23 grand jurors who sat in a closed federal facility and heard the evidence and decided to indict. but it is different it is different from of course it is. but it is also different to think what you think before you sit through the trial and hear
delay the whole case for another couple of years. yeah. he d have to start over, and so david weiss needs to make a decision. and that s how the only way this can be resolved. we only have 30 seconds left. do you think that other candidates running for president need to speak out more forcefully about the fact that this is a very serious, egregious accusations against donald trump in terms of the national security materials? i think anyone is a disservice, provides a disservice to our justice system and our rule of law if they diminish the seriousness of these charges and the allegations. it does a disservice to our servicemen and women who are bound by the rules, one of them was convicted and sent to three years in prison for mishandling classifi classified information. in florida, i believe. so we need to be straightforward about this and not play political games. kgovernor asa hutchinson of arkansas. donald trump pleading not guilty. he needs to find a legal team,
previous indictment and arrest we saw two months ago and i m not sure if there are any other courtroom sketches. but there is one right now. rather flattering drawing. they ve been drawn by court reporters. not as much on walt nauta, his aide, who is the balder guy two over from donald trump. if i could just take a moment to call out the federal courts here. because i think this is long over due. the forederal courts are stubbo with the exception of the u.s. supreme court because of covid allows live audio. they will not allow live audio and certainly not cameras. there is a sort of pearl clutching going on for decades among judges. we don t want our proceedings here to become a spectacle. well guess what. we need to see this. to put it not so finely, we have a right to see this. behind closed doors and sketch draws of people.
very critical of his actions, bill barr said, quote, if even half of it is true, then he s toast, unquote. do you agree? what is your view of this indictment? well, i think it is a devastating indictment. it is very powerful in the way that its portrayed but also very narrow and very targeted. the government didn t three everything and the kitchenen sink at the wall. it has focused this in a way that i think as a matter of law is going to be very difficult for the president to resist. i think the real question is the question of timing and scheduling. if donald trump were an honest man, if we under an innocent man, he would be saying, i want the trial within 30 days. i want this cloud removed from over my head. i want this stain on my reputation removed. so we ll wait and see what donald trump does. i think he ll try and postpone it to after the 2024 election so
