Important discussions we have had this week. The Supreme Court has agreed now to consider former President Trumps claim of president ial immunity in his federal Election Interference case. We it will further delay a potential trial. The high court has scheduled arguments for april 22nd, and a final ruling might not come until months later at the end of the term in june. If the court ruled in favor of trump the special counsels charges would be dismissed. The u. S. Court of appeals unanimously ruled trump does not have absolute immunity. The Supreme Court does affirmed that, the delays still would push the start of the trial probably into the fall. Lets bring in former litigator and msnbc Legal Correspondent lisa rubin, and former u. S. Attorney and msnbc legal analyst joyce vance. Good morning to you both.

front-runner to his other competitors, to senators and congressmen he named john barrasso, tom emmer, who he thinks endorsed trump but know better, to even the electorate. he sort of scolded the electorate for buying trump s lies. this was, you know, a really powerful, i think, impactful speech that unfortunately no one in the republican party, the republican base, cares about. because the thing that chris christie cares about, honesty, hypocrisy, honor, integrity, these things do not matter in the maga base anymore. so while this mattered to people like me, disaffected conservatives, i think this probably fell on some deaf ears. i don t think that his opponents are going to change course because they were scolded by chris christie. look, terry, he never broke through with voters, just look at the polling. so impact, maybe neglidgeable,
editor-in-chief d.c..org,.org is always bigger than.com. national political correspondent for split politico and he is shs about selling, accepting, i mean, this is stuff you might see in arabia somewhere, where they pay back the sheikhs and the government leader, you pay for everything with a big bribe. from the day his campaign ended and his presidency began, from that day, they ve booked rooms at the trump international in washington and they did it all these months to show their love for this guy. now the vice president doesn t. all these vice presidential candidates do it. this idea of buying trump, going into his hotels, trump shamelessly promoting them for the next g7. we were all warned about this we all talked about it before the inauguration. you can t separate trump inc. from the trump presidency and he isn t making the slightest effort to do so your thoughts about what you saw coming.
